Jeff’s Riviera Villa Penthouse | Beachfront Corner Unit with Panoramic Sail Bay Views

Welcome to Jeff’s Riviera Villa Penthouse, an extra-spacious, top-floor corner one-bedroom located directly on the sand along Sail Bay. With unobstructed views to the north, west, and south, this rare penthouse offers a front-row seat to sunrise, sunsets, and nonstop coastal activity—right from your private balcony.

Wake up to sweeping bay views, sip morning coffee overlooking the boardwalk, and watch paddleboarders, sailboats, and catamarans glide past throughout the day. Take a leisurely ride around the bay on the two included beach cruisers, or stroll across to Mission Beach for surf, sunsets, and ocean breezes.

Inside, the condo is bright, open, and thoughtfully appointed with:
• Hardwood floors throughout
• Gas fireplace
• Large flat-screen TV in the living room
• King bedroom with 10” Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress and flat-screen TV

Great place. Great location. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay! This condo is as advertised and clearly run by a thoughtful, professional host. Everything you need is available in the unit or stored on the parking level (ex., beach stuff, bikes). The unit is clean and everything was in working order. The host’s team is proactive and highly communicative. We are a family of four with two younger children and found that the unit worked well for our needs. It was so easy for our family to hang out around Sail Bay and the unit is just a short drive or Uber away from Pacific Beach, La Jolla, Sea World, and Belmont Park (among others). It’s also an easy walk, run, or bike ride away from the Pacific Ocean. Highly recommend.

Amazing location - Can't beat that view!

I came here to visit family to relax and spend the week working and chilling out. The view is stunning! I didn't need the a/c so cannot speak to summer weather but opening the doors on bay side along with the front door's security screen provided wonderful cross breeze. Shower didn't drain well, but I dealt with it. I will definitely stay here again!

Great location, would visit again

Condo was clean, well kept and beautiful location. The onboarding process was a bit much with the rental agency. I had to complete several questionnaires online, upload documents and then received an extremely long. Including garage codes, lock box codes, condo codes, etc. I kept a copy on my cell for quick access but it was quite the process to enter the condo. Would visit again now that I'm aware of the process, area was peaceful and close to beaches/bars.

Amazing View

Loved this location! We picked it mainly for the view and it’s right down the street from where our son and girlfriend live. It’s right on the beach at Mission Bay with easy access to restaurants and shopping from the boardwalk and the sunset views were spectacular! The spot is so perfect that our son proposed to his beautiful girlfriend on the balcony while the sun was setting. It was a beautiful moment. We highly recommend this location and will return again!

60th Birthday Celebration

A beautiful location and accommodations for my husband and I to celebrate my 60th birthday. Having no central air was challenging, but we survived. Suggest ceiling fans and definitely a TV with better availability to apps. Overall, it was a great experience and we look forward to returning.

Beautiful Location

Perfect for two of us. Beautiful view of the bay and close proximity to water and boardwalk enabled some bike rides, runs and walks. Property was clean and well supplied. Musty when we arrived, but quickly aired out with a wonderful breeze from the bay. Bedroom at the back of the unit, so we were never bothered by volleyball and beach noise below us. We will definitely consider again.

Penthouse View

The condo was located with a great southern and westerly views over the serene bay. The narrow sand beach, located directly outside the convenient rear exit, kept the crowds down, with the occasional volleyball games keeping everyone entertained. A boardwalk gave you access to as many miles as you want to walk, run, and bike, along Mission Bay. The unit was very spacious and included all of the conveniences necessary, for our weeklong stay. Bicycles, chairs, Boogie boards, ice chest, umbrella and various beach toys were accessible from the ground level garage storage cabinets. The building is extremely safe and secure, requiring both key and code accesses. The central location on Mission Bay gave you easy access to restaurants in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Point Loma and not far off Old Towne and Little Italy. Exterior of the building is not indicative of this nicely remodeled and furnished unit We would stay here again.

Pros & Cons

Pros.. Unobstructed views of Mission Bay. Direct access to boardwalk/beach. Responsive Property Management. Perfect floor plan and layout. Easy access to grocery and essentials. Water gets super hot..love! Cons.. Cleaning crew is hustling property management as they do not clean effectively. Old unpleasant stench throughout condo. Had to purchase Lysol, Glade Air Fresheners, Fabuloso, candles, etc. to clean/freshen/clear air. Constant volleyball games/loud music beneath condo. Steep driveway, not ideal for sedans. Bathroom/kitchen need renovations. Light switches not properly labeled.

Stunning Sunsets! Convenient location!

This was the perfect location to stay when visiting San Diego for the first time, within walking distance to oceanfront and Pacific Beach and within close proximity to all other sights (Balboa Park, Coronado etc). We walked 3-4 miles every day on the boardwalk starting right in front of the condo! The unit was as pictured, very well maintained, clean and comfortable. As noted by other visitors, there are several layers of security, but we had no problem navigating the system, all very well explained and manageable. The mgmt company was super responsive our calls. The only reason we can't give this property 5 stars (would give 4.5 stars if possible) relates to the bikes which we were looking forward to using but required significant effort on our part to make ridable as they obviously hadn't been touched in quite a while. We would highly recommend that you let them know before you arrive if you intend to use their bikes. Hopefully they will have them prepped and ready to go for you. The mgmt did explain that during the pandemic the bike shop that provides maintenance has been closed. That being said, the effort required to get the bikes "ride ready" only required some soap and water, a bike pump (which was missing) and tools to adjust the seats.
