We had a terrific stay here. Location is wonderful. Bayside is quieter than the boardwalk, but a short walk to the boardwalk, ocean and all its fun. The home is right in the bay with a large beach front. Inside is lovely and very nicely appointed. They mentioned only a few beach items in the listing, but there were a lot of beach “things” and we were pleasantly surprised to find them. Great owner communication.

Thanks so much for your review, Sharon! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back again :)
What a gem! The home is beautiful, the view is amazing and the location was easy to find. We had our two granddaughters, 4 and 5 with us. They loved the bay side. Easy for them to play in the water, build sand castles and hunt for sea shells. Once we parked the cars in the garage, we never took them out. Easy walk to get coffee, the market and plenty of restaurants. The owners are great and very easy to work with. We have a new favorite place to stay.The Ferguson Family
I rarely give a 10 out of 10 with this place deserves it. The view asking you to come in itself with the best day. Love the private little Sandy beach section which we set up cornhole and games for the family. The place is very clean and has three bathrooms with showers, which was a huge bus. Great location between the catamaran and action sports rentals. Ease of check-in and they were great with communication. Love this place and would love to stay again.

Beautiful home!!
My family and I loved staying here! The place was clean and very nice. The view of the bay was amazing and it was close to many shops/restaurants. Beach was just a couple blocks away as well. The whole process was smooth and we would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!!

Perfection. Really.
Best. Place. Ever. Management company is ON IT!!! Admired the property when I lived two blocks away while at SDSU many years ago. Used to vacation at the Catamaran. Yes, those were great days. Decided to nab this awesome house instead. Last year, brought the adult kids and we all loved it. This year, we rented 3914 too, for our extended family and their adult kids. We came from Atlanta and Dallas, and this is our new family tradition. Can't wait for next year. Already counting down days. Thank you for amazing memories! 10 stars.

Love this place!
Can't beat the view! Right on the Sand/bay water where it's quiet & relaxing. Nice walks around the Bay & close to places to eat, stores & more. Plus, walk across Mission Blvd., and you are at the beach/ocean side! We have stayed here two times now & will stay again soon!
We had a fabulous weekend during our family staycation at this property. The location was excellent, bay views were awesome, and very relaxing/comfortable home. Highly recommend...
Great communication from our host. Condo was fresh, updated and clean all over including the garage. Nice amenities and a great patio to view the bay and activities these! I recommend this home for a good size group.

Thank you, Hope! Feel free to reach out to our team anytime!
Beautiful home and location. There isn't anything you need that this property does not have. Did I mention the kitchen? Every utensil you can think of is supplied. The beds are comfortable and well supplied. Just hanging out on the "deck" while grilling fresh salmon in the evening is spectacular. Highly recommended.

Thumbs Up
My wife and I love this place. It was our third time back and it has been a very nice base to meet up with kids and grandkids who live in the area. The property, which sits on an isthmus, is well appointed and very comfortable, right on the Bayside Walk and about three blocks from the ocean. Walking and biking around the area are easy due to the flat terrain. (But note - there are quite a few steps in the unit which may impact those with limited mobility.)
And the weather….it sure beats DC in February! Can't wait to get back.
This property was absolutely amazing and we will defiantly stay here again. Everything was clean and in excellent condition. 5 Stars!
