This property was perfect for our long-weekend getaway. The house was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and it was next to all the action but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!!

This is a good location with close access to bay and beach. Only negative is the AC is ridiculously loud every time it kicks on and sounds like someone is vacuuming!

The location was incredible! The bay beach was our backyard for the week, where our young children were able to play in the sand and the water without us worrying for their safety. Entertainment, restaurants, and amenities were all within walking distance. Excellent!

Fabulous
Loved that the house has a big front yard so you have a bit more privacy from the people on the boardwalk. Bluewater Management was awesome. Loved that the whole wall opened in master bedroom and looked over bay. We left it open the whole time.

This was a perfect place to relax. The unit next door is under renovation during the day. The neighborhood is friendly and a lot of activities for your stay. When they say the parking is tight, believe it. The smaller your vehicle the better for the assigned parking. The unit was nicely furnished and the welcome basket was thoughtful. A gas / electric fireplace would be a great addition for the chilly nights.

A great little place
We loved this little place. Took wife and three kids. Easy access to bay side or ocean side. Nice and clean. Excellent service including fixing a broken dvd player. Everything you could need for a short trip was there.
Because of its great location by the Catamaran there is some extra foot traffic passing by so it seems a little busy at times.
I would always recommend bringing along a good clean non stick pan from home as the non stick pans in rentals are pretty beat up, but this is a minor point. Hoping to come back someday. Only 2 hours from Sea World btw...

Jeff, we loved hosting you and your family in our Villa on the Bay! We hope being 2 miles from Seaworld and steps from the bay or beach gave you and your family lots of activities to fill your days. We apologize about the state of the pans in the kitchen and will have those replaced, for we want to ensure everything in our homes are in good condition for our guests.
We hope to have the opportunity to host you and your family again here in San Diego.
Best regards,
The Bluewater Team

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
Great Location
Good: The property is in a great spot where you can walk right out the back door and onto the beach at the bay. Two levels are nice if you want to put your kids to bed and not wake them up like we did.
Bad: The dishwasher didn't work and you could tell. 80% of the dishes when we got there were dirty. We also had blood spots on our back door patio on the concrete outside. When we asked about these items the property manager did not communicate well and although they did bring plastic dishes for us to use, this was only after really explaining how disappointed I was.
Overall I'd say a great location but pretty bad service.

Family Retreat
We came for our annual family retreat. Rented both of the front units. I have rented many places and this was exceptional. The photos don't do it justice. Service was excellent by the staff. The house had all kitchen items you could use (could use a couple hot mits though). The location is amazing. The Grandkids loved being able to go from the house directly to the water and we were easily able to see them. Everyone had a fabulous time. Even my 19 year old grandson and my 84 year old mother!
