Location

The location of the property is great. You can walk to the beack, restaurants, bars and so many coffee shops. We would stay there again but will double check with the property owner to make sure the deadbolt is unlocked so we can get in without any problems.

This place was exactly how it is described. The location is excellent for beach access. We were able to walk down to the beach multiple times a day. Everything you might need is within walking distance. We rented a car so it was nice to have a dedicated parking spot. The complimentary coffee and creamer in the fridge was a very thoughtful detail. The place also included beach chairs and boards for the beach which is so nice and thoughful. The beds were very comfortable. I am definitely booking this place every time i come back to San Diego.

Great location relative to beach and restaurants, etc. Nice facilities and great communications with hosts. Only big drawback is it is located across the alley from an adjacent hotel’s very noisy mechanical system (a/c or pool equipment?). Had to sleep with bedroom windows closed and used portable fans as white noise and to blow air in from open windows in other part of apartment (since it is not air conditioned).

Property was clean, easy to get to and in a great location. It was just as listed. We had everything we needed. Easy walking to restaurants. I recommend this location and would book it again. Thanks for having coffee and creamer so we didn’t have to go looking for it earlier in the morning.

FANTASTIC Pacific Beach Location!

I was thrilled to return to Pacific Beach and to discover this place in the neighborhood I know so well from 20 years of vacationing on the same block! Everything, and I mean everything, you want or need is within walking distance. The hosts were 100% responsive to all of my requests, typically within minutes. Looking forward to next year's stay already.
