I just remodeled all four of my long-term rental apartments in this 4-plex, just five blocks from the beach, and turned them into a fully-furnished family vacation rentals.

Enjoy all San Diego has to offer in these comfortable two bdrm/1 ba or three bdrm/2ba apartments with oak hardwood floors and all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay including 8 beach cruiser bicycles. Just bring your clothes, toiletries and toothbrush.

Half hour from LegoLand, 40 minutes to The Wild Animal Park, 75 minutes to the quaint historic gold rush town of Julian, in the mountains, and another 30 minutes beyond that is beautiful Anza Borrego Desert State Park. Even Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm can be done as a day trip. Mexico is only 25 minutes away. If the usual tourist sights are not your thing, kick back and enjoy Pacific Beach's trendy ethnic and seafood restaurants, boutiques and bars or its wide white-sand beaches that go on for miles.

Everything you need is within five blocks including grocery stores, shops, restaurants, bars, and both Mission Bay and Pacific Beach and there is bus transportation within a block.

10-25% Off Now-2/6/12! Family Condo, Close to Ocean
Year Purchased: 1993
Why the Owner Chose Pacific Beach
My 4-plex was a yearly-leased rental and I converted it to vacation rentals because people kept asking me if I had anything less expensive than the rentals right on the ocean or bay. I kept seeing people parking in front of my building, getting their beach equipment out of the car and walking to the beach. Obviously it is not too far from the beach (4 blocks) for a vacation rental and offers a lower cost alternative for young families and anyone vacationing on a budget.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
It's only two miles from SeaWorld, 4 miles from Old Town, 8 miles from the Zoo, the downtown GasLamp district and Embarcadero so it's a perfect location for vacationing in SanDiego and especially for people flying in and not renting a car. You can walk to everything you need and there is bus transportation a block away. We provide bicycles for riding along the ocean and bay boardwalks.
With more than 100 million visitors since its opening on March 21, 1964, SeaWorld is San Diego’s #1 tourist attraction and one of the most popular marine parks in the world.

We stayed at Jason's during our conference visit early in Nov 2007. It was bright and tidy, safe and spacious, quiet at night. A guest book showed us the nearest shops and restaurants. What also great was that we could make our own sandwiches and didn't have to queue in the convention centre. We have enjoyed our beach ride at dawn, jog at dusk as our holiday part. More importantly, we worked more productively than ever. It is not only great for vocation but for business travellers as well. Thank you.

Amazing location. Cuter than the pictures show. Like others have mentioned, a bit noisy, but for the location, not bad and the white noise machines help. Garage parking was great, never had to worry about the walk for the kiddos. My two kids loved, loved, loved the bunk beds as well as the chalkboard wall to draw on. That saved us while we waited out the rain to go to the Zoo. Perfectly located near everything. Service was above and beyond what I expected. So helpful, sent emails with tons of information about the area and quaint parks, etc. So amazing to get the "locals' take on it. Super friendly, helpful, prompt. Always showing concern that our stay was of high importance. Great people! Cannot say enough about the quality of people at Nancy's, including Nancy herself, that we communicated with during our stay. They really did make it feel like "our ocean house" for the week. Fred's has amazing food and we went there for lunch with the kiddos. Could be a great place to hang out in the evening without the kids. I would highly recommend this location or any other of Nancy's location. It was great! We went to the San Diego Zoo, Wildlife Park, Sea World and the beach. Nancy has everything all ready in the garage that you will need for the beach. The Zoo, sea world, and the beach are minutes away. Couldn't have asked for a better location and traveling with family, loved the garage parking!

It was my first US vacation with my mum (who always complains for something) and it turned out almost wonderful!! Ok, she complained for something that i ddon't remember, for the first 2 days, but then she started love it. I'm 20, and i found it amazing, there was everything we needed, and it was so close to the beach and to everything that i just wanted to stay more. There was a problem with the hairdryer, but as soon as i asked another one, it had been replaced with a new one. Exellent service. Loved it!

The apartment was nice with plenty of room for a family of four. The kitchen was stocked w/ enough dishes and cups, and the coffee maker and tea kettle was great to have. The location is great - lots of walking opportunities. However, I do have a few complaints: 1) the towels in the bathroom were all bleach-stained, as if they were used as bar towels 2) the place had silverfish, and 3) the heater fritzed out several times during our visit even after the repair man fixed it. The property mgr was apologetic when I pointed the stuff out to him and offered to get someone out to spray for the bugs (I declined - I have crawling infant) and he got a repair guy out the same day to fix the heater. Not the Four Seasons, but still an OK stay.
Owner response:The towels get bleach stains from Acne medicine. It's a big problem for us and we are constantly replacing towels. I had the property manager set off some insect bombs as soon as they left to take care of the silverfish. The heater is fairly new. The problem was with the thermostat and we replaced it with a new one. No it is not the Four Seasons, but for $139 a night for a two bedroom house, we believe it is a very good value for families.

The location was great and the apartment was clean and stocked. My only complaint was that some of the furniture was in poor condition (broken down), i.e. one of the couches, the bar stools and bed in master bedroom.
Owner response:We have been updating the furniture and beds in these 4 rentals as schedule permits and all 4 now have brand new sofabeds and we have replaced several of the queen mattresses with very nice ones so they are good to go now for summer!

We really enjoyed our stay at 1177 Felspar. The condo was immaculate, well stocked, very convenient - a real home away from home. Nancy and Jeremy bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed.

I just want to thank everyone at Nancy's Vacation Rentals for a wonderful holiday. The apartment was so clean and comfortable and it felt like home right from the moment we stepped in the door. The location is perfect, on a pretty residential street so close to the beach, and Starbucks and Trader Joes are just an easy stroll away. We particularly loved having the beach cruiser bicycles available for our evening rides along the oceanfront. We made great use of them. It was our first trip to San Diego, but thanks to this perfect apartment, it won't be our last!

Our rental unit was great!!! Clean, homey and had everything we needed. Made good use of the beach chairs, sand toys and boogie boards. A real plus is having your own parking spot. Loved being 4 blocks from the beach, and 1 block from Trader Joe's, restaurants, and found a great used book store. You can't compare this to staying in a hotel.. because we had space for 2 very active boys (7&9)to play. We slept well too, the spill over noise during Easter Break was not a factor.

My family recently returned from our trip to see my son graduate from Marine Corp boot camp in San Diego. Nancy was a dream to work with and the apartment was everything we could have wanted. We were there during the crazy spring break time but the bar noise didn't bother us. The great windows and white noise machines kept the apartment nice and quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked with any thing I needed to use for cooking and the great markets in the area have any type of food you need. If you like Thai food there is a great Thai restaurant around the corner in between the convienience store and tanning salon, I can't remember the name but it was fantastic and authentic.
