Amazing!

My husband and three small children stayed at here over Mothers Day and we had an amazing time. The Surfrider is a 2 minute walk from Belmont Park, several restuarants and bike/surfboard rentals everywhere. There is a small market directly behind the condo and several grochery stores are about 5 minute drive. 2 miles from Seaworld and 10 miles to the San Diego Zoo. Wonderful location! We grilled everynight everything we needed for cooking was already in the condo. The condo is completly upgraded. The hot tub was one of the best perk! Beautiful ocean views from the condo. We would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay on the beach. We will be back!

My family of four had a wonderful time in this unit. This unit came equiped with everything that you need and then some. The kithen was well equipped, it was nice to have a washer/dryer in the unit (did not have to pack too much) and the beds were comfortable. I would highly recommend working with Dominique as he made this process nice and easy. Reserve this unit before it's gone.

We come to San Diego quite often and always have a great time but this stay was memorable. The weather was cloudy up until the day we left but our spirits were never higher. This condo really made our vacation. It was cozy and quaint with great views and a location that allowed us to really relax and reset our life clocks. We will be back. Thank you!

We just got back from a great Mission Beach vacation. This condo is immaculate, perfect location and exceptionally well-eqipped. Dominique, the property manager, is great to work with, easy to get ahold of, and really takes care of you. Found this place surprisingly kid friendly (boys ages 3 and 1) given how luxurious it is. By far the nicest place we have stayed. Thanks for everything, we'll be back.

Surf Rider Vacation

Date of Stay: 08/08/09 Review Submitted: 08/18/09

My family stayed at Surf Rider for a week in August and had a great time! The condo was clean and very well equipped. Check in and check out was a breeze and Dominique was great to work with. It was a great vacation for our family (three kids ages 16, 14 and 12) so much for everyone to do. We relaxed at the beach, took long walks on the boardwalk, and Belmont Park was an easy walk for the kids. My only complaint was that the week went by too fast! We plan on visiting again next summer - I highly recommend this vacation rental - you won't be dissapointed!

Great location, unit was very clean. We went to grocery store nearby and cooked out on grill everyday. Kids loved the roller coaster and rides. Wish picture window would open. Only downside was the unit was hot at nite , no AC, and no interior breeze.

Watch the Dolphins and relax!

Date of Stay: 04/20/09 Review Submitted: 10/08/09

The condo is right on the boardwalk, so you can sit outside in the morning with your coffee and watch the dolphins swim while the sum comes up. In the evenings you can relax with a cocktail and people watch as the sun sets. The sunsets are stunning. Easy to walk to places, lots to see and do. Location is great for getting around San Diego. Condo is equipped so you can cook there if you don't want to eat out. Great grills on site to grill some of the local seafood. We had a great time visiting with people visiting in other condos. Well maintained, comfortable beds. La Jolla is close by for great shopping and dining. The San Diego Zoo is a must see at least once in your life. The location is great for people watching, surfing, walking on the beach, swimming, whatever your heart desires. The rental manager was wonderful and very friendly. Parking on site. Wonderful hot tub out by the grills that you share with the other units. We will stay again when we are in San Diego area.

The property was just what we were looking for and just as we expected it from the website pictures and discription. The rental agent was polite, honest, returned all calls and e-mails, and made our entire vacation experience a pleasant one. The location of our unit was perfect. Just outside our front door, there is a very clean patio with private lounge chairs, a spa pool, and the ocean! The property is well maintained, and clean. We had a parking garage also. The location of this rental property is walking distance to Belmont Park, and about a 15 minute walk to Pacific Beach shops and restaurants. The interior is comfortable to cozy. The living area where the tv is, did not have enough seating for our family to watch tv together, so a few of us went into the bedroom to watch through the huge picture window which opens onto the family/tv room area. The only thing we did not do was cook dinners at the condo only because the table seated four and seemed a bit crowded for our family of five. The kitchen is huge! The eating area is not. Overall, we loved this rental property and location and would rent again in the future.

Just what we wanted!

What a beautiful place for everyone! We arrived at the condo, the instructions to enter the condo were easy to follow. The only problem we had at first was how to lock the door, but with a little practice it was fine. The owner provided excellent customer service, and every question I had was answered quickly. The bathrooms were roomy, and recently remodeled. My husband loved the flat screen tv in the living room. All appliances were new, and I found every pan I needed for cooking. The weather was great, and we loved the jacuzzi. All in all the vacation was perfect, and the accomodations were part of the reason. I would definately rent this place again.

We just got back from the BEST vacation our family has ever had. The condo was more than we ever could have dreamed. The experience of living right on the beach was incredible. I actually learned how to boogie board! The kids lived on the beach and found some little friends in the condo as well. Thanks so much for making this vacation so much fun. The condo had everything we needed and then some. The wine and chocolate were a special surprise. We will definitely be back next October! That is if you’ll let us rent out the condo again :) I’ll figure out the schedule for next year and I’ll be in touch to reserve the room. Thanks, Matt

Without any question, Surf Rider is the complex that gets all the "oohs and aahs" from people passing by on the Mission Beach boardwalk. The unit itself was extremely well maintained, exceptionally comfortable, and perfectly managed. If you're looking for the perfect southern California, beach vacation, there is no need to look any further. I would not hesitate to do this again in the future. My week at Surf Rider was perfect....

We had a great time last weekend and totally loved the location. My 2-year old daughter loved getting up each morning and going straight to the beach... overall, we would definitely stay there again. Thanks again! Kathryn
