About this property

Inga`s Quiet Sail Bay Townhome: Garage, Central AC, Parking & Fireplace

Below you will find details about our 2 bed/ 2 bath home, Inga's Quiet Sail Bay Home, in Pacific Beach.

This contemporary townhouse has a wonderful ambience and layout! It is bright and feels very spacious with its high ceilings, skylights and clerestory windows, modern decor, and open floor plan. The unit was recently upgraded with hardwood floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances and central A/C, a rarity in coastal San Diego! It is tastefully decorated and contains many luxury features, including a fully equipped kitchen with a large assortment of quality kitchenware so you can cook and bake just as you do at home. Family members and friends can use the breakfast bar while you prepare meals, or you can enjoy a sit down meal at the dining table which seats 6. At the end of the day you can relax and enjoy sitting down in front of the cozy fireplace and listen to your own tunes using the bluetooth stereo connection, or to watch a movie or your favorite TV show from the premium movie channel selection. Netflix or other streaming channels are also available if you have an account.

The master bedroom has a king bed with a memory foam mattress, an HD 37" flat screen TV, and a full en-suite bathroom. The upstairs bedroom features a twin bed over a full size bunk bed with memory foam mattresses to accommodate a variety of sleeping arrangements. There is also sufficient space to use the toddler cot, or rentable pack n play as desired. The upstairs bedroom has an HD 32" flat-screen TV and DVD combination player, so the kids can watch a movie upstairs while you have cocktails or quiet time in the living room. Both bathrooms have granite countertop sinks, travertine tiles in the bath/shower, and extra large shower heads.

And last but not least, the owners made this house very family-friendly. They have traveled a lot with their children since they were babies and understand the little things that make a vacation home work well, especially if you need to fly and have limited luggage space! The house is equipped with many child-friendly features to make your stay as comfortable as possible, such as a variety of toys, games, children's books, coloring materials, night lights, plastic plates/cups/bowls, a step stool, balls, beach toys, humidifier, and toddler sleeping cot. A high chair, jogging stroller and/or pack n play crib can be provided at an additional rental cost.

This vacation home is situated on the quieter East side of beautiful Sail Bay (the loveliest part of Mission Bay)! Yet, you are only 12 minutes from San Diego's bustling downtown historic Gaslamp area with its fine dining, 1.5 miles from SeaWorld, and within 15 minutes from the lovely Balboa Park with the famous San Diego Zoo. So, you can have it all!

Across the street on the boardwalk you will find people riding bikes, skating, jogging, and just strolling at leisure. Take a stroll or ride our 2 provided beach cruiser bikes around the bay and if you like, cross over to Mission Beach with its wide boardwalk to watch the surfers or catch a glimpse of the green flash at sunset.

Spacious and comfortable townhome - great stay

We had a great stay at the townhome. We were able to walk down to the bay to take the kids to the beach. They had their own room upstairs which gave them their own space. Having two bathrooms helped a lot. Thanks for the nice stay!

Great location

We enjoyed staying at the townhome. The beds are very comfortable, it was clean, there are tons of supplies to make the stay feel like home and the location is excellent. Easy access to the bay and Mission Beach. The management agency has tremendous communication. They sent a repair person over to fix a stuck shower mixer and he was extra helpful, providing us with tourist information. The carpets and some of the furnishings are a bit worn and the unit needs to be painted. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Great Location! Very Spacious!

Enjoyed this property. I didn't give it a 5 because we had to air it out when we arrived. It was super clean, spacious and well decorated. So the smell was a mystery. It was great set up, close to the bay. Wonderful place to walk. Fun little coffee place near by. They need to figure out where the odd smell was coming from and have it aired out before people arrive because it took a day

Wonderful Family Home for our Vacation

The townhouse looked just like the photo's in the listing, beautiful. There was plenty of room for all four with room spread out when we needed some space. The townhouse was very well appointed with supplies including bikes, beach gear, towels and linens. The kitchen and laundry were very convenient and we wanted for nothing in the way of utensils, plates, coffee makers and etc. The location is great for exploring San Diego as well as Mission Bay, Mission and Pacific Beaches and the surrounding cities. We would definitely come again.

Great place to stay- good location and well equipped condo

We stayed for 9 days and found the place the perfect base for our family with three young children. 2-3 minutes walking distance to the beach! Great location for family with kids - the bay and beach is great for play in the sand and a lot calmer than on the ocean side. Airy, bright, clean and roomy condo. Quiet with no noise from traffic or neighbours. Well equipped. Comfortably sleeps three children in the second bedroom as the bottom bunk bed is a double bed (two small children can share). Nancy's property management company was great at responding (we needed to locate the electrical box and they helped us over the phone), and we also had an issue with the kitchen sink and a plumber was promptly called out. Would highly recommend this place!

Mixed

I’m a bit torn, I hardly ever give anything but strong ratings…. I this case it’s mixed. The check in process was not great (you do down an alley, to the “mid point”… building is not marked… and the code to the garage didnt work. They had a bad tenant right before us and the apartment smelled and the master carpet was wet. On the +: cleaning crew was great and very polite. Not the MGMT companies fault that they had a bad tenant, but we were inconvenienced, and were never offered anything in the way of a make-good for our troubles. Not great form. So, while the unit was fine, it was top-dollar and a pretty mixed experience.

Christmas in CA

Location-Nice property close to the bay. Was nice to be able to walk along the bay. Access to the water is only a block away. Everything was close to the property, great location. Inside of condo- Condo was clean and very well stocked. Was really surprised with the amount of pots, pans, utinsels, etc in the kitchen. The desk had pens, tape, markers, etc. the tv stand had dvds and there were board games in the living room. The property was a good size for 2 adults and 3 older children. Only negative on the property was the bathtub and shower were a little dirty and need a deep cleaning. I contacted the property manager and they said they’d notify the cleaning crew. Overall, this was a great place to stay. My kids liked it and it was very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Our family enjoyed staying here

The condo's location is great. We felt like we were close to everything we wanted to do and was within walking distance of what turned out to be one of our favorite restaurants of the trip, The Menu. It was roomy enough for the four of us and had everything we needed for going to the beach. None of the bikes were small enough for our 11 year old to ride though so she and I took a walk on the beach instead. (It was close and easy to find the public access.) The only issue we had (out of anyone's control) was the repair work on the roof across the alley began at 7:00 every morning we were there! Ugh. Overall, it was beautiful and comfortable. When we opened the windows in the evening we got a nice cool evening breeze coming through. The rental agency called me a couple of days before we arrived and was very helpful and even suggested some restaurants for us to try. Thank you for opening your home to us. We would stay here again.

The good, bad and UGLY

First, I want to say that my husband, myself and our twin 14 yr olds, visited San Diego during our spring break. We are hard working people and feel like we are pretty easy going and understanding. When we arrived to check-in to the property it was at night so was dark out. You have to park and enter via the alley behind the property and the only light was a small motion light on the back of the garage. It was quite sketchy. The gate that was supposed to be locked was not and there was no outdoor light on at the building door. As soon as we opened the door the smell of mildew was overwhelming (owners need to just rip out the remaining carpet). We were exhausted and just wanted to go to bed. My husband’s pillowcase had dark stains, which looked like blood. Our bedside tables were cheap particle board and literally falling apart. The master bathroom was disgusting. Shower curtain had mold on it, there was hair in the cabinet drawers, baseboards had a layer of filth, the dishwasher had literal sludge caked inside, the kitchen rug had food and gum ground into it, the washing machine had more filth caked on the inside. The living room couch and chairs were just dirty. I’m talking so worn and tired they weren’t suitable for Goodwill. I was literally shocked at the condition this home was in. I contacted management right away and they were very responsive. They replaced the shower curtain & pillows. Location was nice. No views in this unit. Buyer definitely beware!

Why they chose this property

We bought this vacation home to have a place to escape our busy lives in L.A. and where we can build family memories. We have always liked San Diego (who doesn't?) as it brings the right mix of fun things to do, a great variety of family oriented attractions, a relaxed atmosphere, wonderful beaches, and warm weather. Because we live close to the mountains in Pasadena, we wanted to have a vacation house close to the beach. We decided to look for a home in Crown Point as it provides a combination of both the Bay and Beach. Mun has fond memories of playing beach volleyball here when he lived here 20 years ago. We love a variety of water sports that we can now enjoy just across the street from our house (just 60 seconds from the front door), such swimming, sailing, kayaking, sailing, and paddle boarding in Sail Bay. But we also like to hop on our beach cruisers to hit the beach of the Pacific Ocean in less than 10 minutes.

In our many travels we have been to over 35 countries, where we have often been tempted to say, “wouldn’t it be great to retire here”. San Diego is one of those that has been near the top of that list. For the long-term, this is the first step in our plan to eventually move and retire to San Diego. Owning this vacation home, gives us the opportunity to ‘test the waters’ and get to know the area better before uprooting our lives in LA. And last but not least, San Diego has perfect weather year-around to attract people like yourselves to share our wonderful home with.

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that we are only 1 minute from the sand so we can go for a jog along the boardwalk, go to the beach, or hop on our bikes without ever getting in our car. The playground in Fanuel Street Park is also a big hit with the kids. When we are inside, we really like the layout and ambience of the house. It is bright, open, modern, and it feels very spacious with the high ceilings. In the enclosed and separate loft bedroom, the kids can watch Netflix or a DVD upstairs, while we are able to entertain the adults downstairs. In the evenings we enjoy watching a good movie (great cable channel selection!) or turn on the gas fireplace and read a book with a glass of wine. The sleeping arrangement of a king bed in the master bedroom and in the 2nd floor bedroom the twin-over-full bunk, and full size sofa bed also seems to work out perfect for allowing friends with their kids to join us. And because food is always important on every vacation we really enjoy that the kitchen is fully equipped with a large assortment of new and quality kitchenware so we can cook and bake like we do at home. We are also very happy with the location of the house as its located in a quiet street on Crown Point. It's very close to stores and restaurants in Pacific Beach (5-10 mins by bike or car to Trader Joe's and a great local bakery), but far enough from the hustle and sounds of the beach crowd to enjoy a quiet night sleep. The house is the end unit in a small gated 3-unit complex, so we have no neighbors above or below us. The garage and parking space outside of it allows for friends to visit easily; very important for the summer months. And last but not least, we made our house very family friendly. We have travelled a lot with our kids since they were 3 months old and understand what little things make a vacation home work well; especially if you need to fly and have limited space to bring a lot. We have equipped our house with many child-friendly items so bring the kids!
