This freshly renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo is tucked right between Oceanside Harbor Beach and the Harbor itself—so you'll be just steps away from sand, surf, shops, and plenty of good eats.
After a day of exploring San Diego favorites like SeaWorld, Legoland, La Jolla, the Zoo, or the Safari Park, you can kick back here and relax. But honestly, you don't even have to leave the area—there's tons to do right outside your door.
At Marina Del Mar, you can soak up the sun by the heated pool, unwind in the hot tub, or wander down to the harbor for food, shopping, or just a lazy stroll by the water. Feeling adventurous? Rent a kayak, paddleboard, jet ski, or even head out on a fishing or whale-watching trip with Helgren's Sportfishing.
When hunger hits, you'll have options galore—from casual spots like Harbor Fish & Chips to fresh seafood at Oceanside Broiler, or even an upscale night out at D'vino, complete with gelato and wine.
The beach is right there too, perfect for swimming, volleyball, or trying out a surf lesson. Families will love the easy access to restrooms, showers, lifeguards, and picnic areas with barbecues. And if you're still hungry after a beach day, stroll down the pier and grab a fish sandwich from the Tin Fish to enjoy with a sunset view.

We enjoyed our stay here a ton, and would come back. There was however a few items I think could be upgraded in this unit that would really help.
Pros:
- Newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom were great
- Location was amazing, right across from the beach and a great harbor view
- Bed was super comfortable
Cons:
-Living room pull out couch was hard and really only slept one teenager.
- screen to the balcony was broken when we arrived with a hole in it, dead plants on the balcony and all the paint was chipping off balcony furniture.
- kitchen is really bare bones with mostly plastic plates/cups. I think a quick trip to ikea for some plates, cups, glasses, etc would be a big help.

Great location BUT very disappointed in property
Great location, directly across from beach. Nice heated pool and bbq grills in pool area. However, that is the extent of the luxuries of the property. I REALLY did not want to write this review but i would hate for another family to pay hard earned money to stay at place that is not what it appears on the photos. Our family was very disappointed in the property itself. When we first entered the condo, we were greeted by a stuffy, musty, stale odor. We tried to open the windows and turn on the AC to let the place air out, but unfortunately, there was no AC in the unit. There was long hair that did not belong to any of our family members found in the bedding, towels, and bathroom. The bathtub was dirty and slow to drain. Which unfortunately meant that we had to stand in the backed up water as we showered. The bathroom sink was also slow to drain which forced us to have to brush our teeth and wash our hands in the kitchen. The shower rod was rusting. We had to wear our shoes throughout our stay due to the feel of dirt on our bare feet. It appears as though all of the remodeling was completed by nonprofressionals. Very minimal kitchen utensils. All of the utensils and dishes were very old and cloudy. There is so much more that i can mention but I believe other travelers can get an idea of our experience. We tried to stay out of the property as much as possible. We have rented through VRBO several, several times for many years and have never experienced a property like this. It was not up to the standard that I am used to when renting through VRBO. We will never stay at this property again.

Thank you for your review. I do apologize that your stay was not what you expected. The cleaning concerns are not our standard and we have gone through this unit point by point to correct and improve. Drains were checked and there was a lot of sand found which would cause slowing. The unit was closed up for a few days which would cause the air to be stagnant. That is correct about the AC, no one in the complex has AC. To point of the photos, these are accurate and were taken 2 years ago. Again, we appreciate all reviews. It helps to see where we can improve.
Very nice unit in a great location. Easy access by elevator. Enjoyed the pool and beach located right across the street. Unit had a few issues,
moldy shower curtain, remotes to tv not working. (needed new batteries) Able to get resolved during our stay, but these should have been caught before handing over keys.
Could use some updated furniture and better stocked kitchen for the amount being charged.
Close to lots of good eating options, the beach, and the fishing boat. The property manager was very good with communication and was there to meet us when we got there.
This place was amazing. Very well decorated and everything you need for the beach, the pool, or just hanging on the balcony and enjoying the harbor. The place is cozy and comfortable to lounge around. Conveniently close to local eateries. Within walking distance and your vehicle stays safe parked within the complex.
