Come to "America's Finest City," San Diego, and vacation in the Pacific Beach/Mission Beach and Bay area without paying a fortune! I just renovated all four of my long-term rental apartments in this 4-plex, just four blocks from the beach, and turned them into a fully-furnished vacation rentals. They don't have the view of a place right on the water but they don't have the price tag either! 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.

Located in the very heart of Pacific Beach, it's only minutes away from SeaWorld, the world famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Old Town with it's excellent Mexican Restaurants, Belmont Park and it's authentic 1920's wooden roller-coaster, SeaPort Village, downtown San Diego's GasLamp Quarter, the Convention Center and Petco Park.

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.

You don't even need a car. Everything you need is within four blocks including grocery stores, shops, restaurants, bars, and both Mission Bay and Pacific Beach and there is bus transportation within a block. Come and enjoy everything San Diego has to offer without spending all money on the rental fee! If you do have a car, this apartment comes with a private garage. Laundry room and wireless internet, too. I have named them after my neice, Jessica, and nephews, Jeremy and Jason, and my significant other who did the remodels, Brian.

Rent 2, 3 or all 4 units for family reunions or wedding parties. Want to be closer to the ocean or right on the bay? Something more upscale? Please see my other VRBO listings. NancysVacationRentals

Year Purchased: 1993

Why the Owner Chose Other San Diego Properties

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.

A
Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach

This is an extension of Garnet St, the main street of Pacific Beach. There is a lifeguard station, restrooms, drinking fountains and showers here and LOTS of restaurants!! You can walk or ride bikes a

B
Fanuel Park young children's playground

A great park for little ones. They can play on the equipment,grassy area or build sand castles on the water's edge without fear of waves. Clean restrooms, drinking fountains and sinks for rinsing off

C
Mission Bay boardwalk

Great for walking or riding bikes. Every 1/4 mile is marked on the sidewalk and it goes for 3.5 miles from Belmont Amusement Park by the ocean around Sail Bay and Crown Point to Fiesta Bay, all part o

D
Pacific and Mission Beach boardwalk

Walk or ride the bikes provided free of charge for our guests, all along the ocean from Law St Palisades Park to the Roller Coaster at Belmont Amusement Park about 3.5 miles.

E
Trader Joe's and Henry's Market

Henry's Market is like a Wild Oats or Whole Foods. Trader Joe's has lots of ready to eat gourmet meals and interesting ethnic foods and great salads. Also inexpensive wines. A must see!

F
Ralph's Grocery Store

Everything here including souvenirs of San Diego and beach toys.

G
Von's Grocery Store and CVS Drug Store

Everything you need here including lots of restaurants and Starbucks and Jamba Juice.

 

Owner's Map of Other San Diego Properties

My husband and I live in the mountains NE of San Diego. We like to Scuba dive, ride bikes and hike in the mountains near our home and also walk and ride bikes down by the bay and ocean. Brian takes care of our rentals and I take care of our guests.

    • 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.

      Homeowner 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.

    • We very much enjoyed our visit to beautiful San Diego and our stay at 1175 Felspar St (Jessica's apt). The holiday apartment was well presented, equipped (my daughter and husband particularly appreciated the availability of bikes), and the location was just ideal, being so close to the beach and a great variety of shops and restaurants. Renting an apartment suited so well, as we like to take advantage of the good food ingredients available locally (especially from Trader Joe's) and our son who lives in San Diego was able to join us for some 'home cooking'! Having wireless access made it easy to book activities such as surfing, diving and whale watching.

    • Hi Folks, Just jotting a note to say thank you. Your vacation rental was very clean and homey (smelled good from the moment we walked in), in a good location, and the combination made our family stay very pleasurable. Noise wasn't really a problem, we all slept very well; the sheets in the master bedroom were extremely soft and the pillows were also great. We had plenty of room for 5 adults. And I have to add, though “my kids” are adults, we all enjoyed the large chalkboard in the living room. We felt it was our home. The garage was handy, added incidentals were convenient, as well as the grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Great walk to the beach. Our son ranked Ramones as one of the best fish taco stands! One suggestion: hooks on the backs of the doors for towels and robes, etc. And I'll add doing business with Jeremy was also a pleasant experience. 1173 Felspar, Dec. 27

    • Jason's place was great. Everything we needed was available, fully supplied kitchen supplies, grocery stores near by, the beach. The place is very clean. The only down fall is the noise at night, the Bars were wild and people hang out on the streets/sidewalk next to the apartments. Bring ear plugs and you will be fine. overall the place is cute and nice.

    • We needed a place to stay for our family when our son was returning from a deployment. We had never rented anything on line and were a little scared. But we were pleasantly surprised to see the unit. It was clean and very well stocked with kitchen utensils, towels, soaps, shampoo,etc. It was so centrally located we decided not to rent a car. Jeremy was very helpful finding the garage door opener and making us feel wellcome. We are planning a trip to Paris and will definately be checking out their Paris appartment. Thank you.

    • We stayed in Jeremys condo, it was very clean, and had everything we needed. The grocery stores were close, and the food at the local restaurants were to die for. We had a great time, and would recommend it to anyone. The beach was incrediable, so was the zoo...We hope you have as much fun as we did... sincerely, the Speziale family
