Location: Pacific Beach, San Diego County, California, USA (Borders La Jolla; 4 blks to beach w/lifeguards; pier @ 8blks)
Accommodations: Home, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Enjoy the beauty of San Diego from your comfortable home base in north Pacific Beach just south of Bird Rock/La Jolla and only a few blocks from the beach -- easy walking and biking distance to all the best of San Diego, while easy freeway access makes sightseeing beyond the beach a breeze!
Once you're here, you won't need a car -- ride the beach cruiser BIKES in the garage to the pier or down the boardwalk, or just all over town at your leisure. Catch a wave on one of the boogie BOARDS or surfboards, or unwind with board or video GAMES and a BBQ at night. This house really feels like your home away from home. It's the perfect location and accommodations for your Southern California adventure.
Just four blocks from the long, beautiful stretch of white sandy beaches north of Crystal Pier and the lively boardwalk, with a small grassy park, clean bathrooms, and lifeguards . . . minutes from Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and Mission Bay to the south . . . borders Tourmaline and the Bird Rock area of La Jolla to the north, with more beaches, the Cove, tidepools, shops, restaurants, Torrey Pines, the Birch Aquarium, and UCSD. (Express bus to UCSD just three blocks away.)
Completely remodeled 1,000 sqft home -- all new kitchen (stainless steel appliances), new bathrooms, new windows, new floors. New leather and wood furnishings anchor pieces from owner's Mediterranean travels. Full CABLE TV package on all 3 tvs (LR is LCD HDTV), including HBO, Showtime and Sports Channels, DVD, DVR, secure high-speed WIRELESS internet, iPod docking station and music system, a Wii video game console, and a fireplace in the living room for when the sun goes down -- or roast marshmallows in the FIREPIT in the backyard!
There are new QUEEN beds in the dual master bedrooms, both with feathertop mattress covers, quality linens and down comforters (twin air mattresses are also available). We just purchased all new linens for the beds and the bathrooms, including fluffy white towels and Pottery Barn sheets.
There's a full-size WASHER/DRYER in the garage, and GAS BBQ grill on the patio in the back yard with lots of patio furniture available. (There's a charcoal weber there, too, for the die-hards.) The yard is completely fenced, and there's a weekly gardening service so it stays nice for you. Be one of the first to use the new OUTDOOR SHOWER in the backyard -- no more tracking sand into the house!!!
Comes complete with all the beach towels, games, toys, videos, books, soaps, shampoos, etc., that a home would have, so all you need to bring are your personal items. The kitchen is stocked with the basics right down to the coffee and tea, so the choice is up to you to cook at home or enjoy your choice of local restaurants.
While it's close to the beaches, restaurants and shops of PB and La Jolla, it's in an owner-occupied neighborhood, which keeps it nice, safe and quiet. Your visit should be as relaxing and pleasant (or energetic and active!) as you desire -- if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask!
PLEASE NOTE that this is NOT a party house -- perfect for couples or small families.
