Great check in and out! Comfy bed! Such a good location between the beach and the bay! Loved having beach towels, chairs, toys and an umbrella provided! Stocked kitchen - enough supplies to make an Easter meal! Bright and clean place to stay!Condo was very hot during the day even though outside temperatures were in the 70s. Windows needed to be open and all fans needed to be used. Lots of airplane noise overhead. Very tight parking spots.

Hi Sara! Thank you so much for your review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay!
The amenities were incorrectly listed, which took resulted in time outside of our vacation, and extra cost that we should not have had to account for. Host was also extremely unapologetic to our experience.

Thank you for the feedback. Our records show that we did in fact apologize for the listing error and refunded the appropriate amount for the inconvenience.
We enjoyed staying in the home. It was a perfect location and absolutely beautiful home. We cannot wait to go back next year and hopefully to rent the same place.

Great to hear & thank you for choosing our team for your stay in SD! We're happy to host anytime.
Property is as described and a walking distance to the ocean. We loved it! We walked to the nearby restaurants and enjoyed the different attractions nearby.
Les than two minute walk to the beach. Absolutely perfect for a family vacation. The property had boogie boards and beach chairs. Eight minute drive to Sra World.

Thank you for your review! Glad your family had a great stay. Reach out to our team anytime!
Excellent location. Parking a little tight. Make sure the weather is cooler when booking as there is No Air Conditioner. The location is Fabulous. Perfect for families.
We would definitely stay here again. The only issue is the shower didn’t drain all the way and the temp would change mid shower. Otherwise, great experience!

Great Deck, Nice Interior Finishes
This is the upstairs unit with a nice sun deck as advertised! The inside is nicely decorated with new furniture. The kitchen is on the smaller side but had everything we needed. Plenty of parking. Great vacay home!
It was very comfortable space, which was much appreciated since our weather was a bit chilly. Very short & easy walk to the beach. Quieter end of MB. There was a little market & a couple food take out only stands just a 5 min walk away.

Bright Updated Unit
Nice and bright updated unit, great outdoor deck, smaller unit but fit the 5 of us just fine, comfortable beds, easy parking, and close to the beach. Management help made for an easy stay.
The property was spotless, and looked exactly like the photos. It did get a bit warm during the day. Thankfully they had ceiling fans and provided stand up fans!!! Excellent location 1/2 block off beach!

New, Beautiful Design, Easy Parking
All the furniture was like new. Very clean and nice designer touches throughout (you can tell it was professionally done!). The sun deck was relaxing and comfortable cushion seating. Plenty of parking in the rear alley. Management was friendly and helpful.
Check in was 3:00 PM but the cleaning company was there until 3:45. The place was not clean. One of the beds was covered in black hairs and there were dead flies everywhere. There is no A/C, which is listed in the information, but buried when it should be up front. Information sent prior to check in implies there is A/C, a W/D, and D/W. This place has none of those. The kitchen is minuscule and missing common items like a colander and oven mitts. The location is absolutely lovely, but it was a disappointing trip overall, especially for the price.

Overall happiness and joy
We were so pleased with the location and the overall accommodations—the kitchen is well appointed and allowed us freedom to cook and be with the kids. Luckily our neighbors were lovely and respectful, we were pleased to have no issues as they were sharing the front deck. However, there is mention of A/C, which there is none and a dishwasher—again, not a part of the property. Also, we had a need to change the sheets(due to a spill—our fault) and had trouble locating them—called the after hours number and text to no response. Ended up finding the sheets and all was fine, but, never got a response from rental company. Glad there wasn’t a big problem.

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks so much for the feedback. We are so sorry for the miscommunication on the sheets, we are happy you were able to find the extra sheets we leave onsite! Please note, this home has never advertised A/C or a dishwasher.. We hope you otherwise enjoyed your stay in San Diego!
We rented this place because our nephew was graduating from the Marine’s at the MCRD in San Diego. The location was perfect for everything! Short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops just as described in their ad, plus you are a very short drive or car service to anything downtown! The unit was very neat and tidy with all the necessities! The bedding was newer and the beds were very comfortable. The furniture inside and out was newer and in great shape. Everything was just as described, but if I had one complaint it would be the shower, and it is probably more of a suggestion than a complaint, but the temperature of the water would get very hot at times almost to the point of scalding! It could be very dangerous for small kids. If they were to upgrade to a shower faucet that would prevent it, I would call this place near perfect for what they advertise it as! I would highly recommend it for a couple, with 1 or 2 older children. Would definitely come back!
