Guest Access:
Guest has access to entire condo : )

There is a shared sitting / hangout area in the patio. It is shared with community residents.

Please note that the condo is located on the top floor and is only accessible via stairs, as there is no elevator. This listing does not offer air conditioning.

The Neighborhood:
San Diego's Pacific Beach neighborhood embodies Southern California’s chill vibe. Whether you're headed there to catch some rays, shred waves, or partake in the famous nightlife, PB (as the locals call it) is a constant beach party.

That said, there's so much more to PB than revelry-minded college students and young adults. Situated on a stretch of land between the Pacific Ocean and San Diego's man-made “water wonderland” Mission Bay, Pacific Beach is also an ideal base for exploring America's Finest City, given its proximity to major San Diego must-see attractions.

From wide, sandy beaches to trendy rooftop bars and fish tacos you'll never forget, here is your guide to Pacific Beach San Diego.

After a day of basking in the sun or catching waves, you're bound to work up an appetite. Fortunately most of the best Pacific Beach restaurants are situated mere steps from the beach and boardwalk.

Cap off a day of water activities with authentic Milanese pizza at Ambrogio15, or try some locally caught seafood at the stylish JRDN at Tower23. If you're willing to venture off the boardwalk a bit, you'll get a taste of Spain at Costa Brava. The Basque restaurant offers a range of tapas and paellas to enjoy as you listen to the sounds of live flamenco music. For a tasty burger with fries and a pint, pay a visit to the no-frills Rocky's Crown Pub.

Pacific Beach has excellent breakfast and brunch options too. Try the apple fritter pancakes and thick-cut brown-sugar bacon on the patio of Fig Tree Cafe or grab a table at the French-inspired La Clochette du Coin, where you can enjoy a cappuccino and a pesto croissant sandwich. At Kono’s Café, diners can enjoy breakfast all day in a fun, surf-themed setting.

Getting Around:
Pacific Beach is a very walkable town! You can walk on the boardwalk and all the way to Mission Beach if you wanted to! If you want to get to any other parts of San Diego it's best to drive or use Uber / Lyft.

Other Things to Note:
For your safety we have a Ring Doorbell Camera at the front door.

Please note this listing does not have air conditioning.

Nice, updated rental in PB

Nice, updated rental unit in PB. Very clean and modern. The only issue was with finding the unit in the dark. The instructions stated to find the brown garages and the unit #, the garages were white and no unit number. No unit numbers on front of house. Very difficult to find and no outside light turned on. But keypad worked wonderfully!

Thought it would be the perfect place.

The property was a perfect place for me and family. I have a son that lives 4blocks from the home. Was great for enjoying our time in San Diego and so close to family felt like we would return frequently. Until or first full day the outside of the unit was scheduled to be power washed with no Warning. Windows, doors closed not able to enjoy the beautiful patio areas was also a little strange being inside the unit trying to host family, while windows, doors and outer of the unit being power washed. Ok so move to last full day and night without notice maintenance starts taping all doors and windows handrails And covering with plastic the outside at 7:30 in the morning as we come out of the unit our rental cars in danger of getting paint sprayed all over it because they’re going to paint the outside of the unit this goes on for the entire last day and night cannot have windows and doors open miserably hot when Messaging the host of what’s going on. The only resolution we got was we’re very sorry we were not notified my family and I lost two full days and a night of our vacation. I want to say this is not the property owners fault. It is the fault of the property management their last response to me was hope you enjoyed your vacation, let us show you other properties in the area that you can rent again on your next vacation. Hopefully, we can make it up to you then.Not acceptable, Cardo property management In the San Diego area will never rent a vacation home to me again.

Overall great place

We loved staying here for our family trip! My only complaint is the check - in time is kinda late (4:00) and we had to sit out and wait 20 more minutes because the house cleaners were not done. Other than that, everything else was great! The property manager is super friendly and helpful :)
