Great place!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. House is very clean and in a great, neighborhood location with just about all you need within walking distance. It’s perfect for families or friend groups who travel together. Large common areas, kitchen and backyard with patio make it perfect place to hang out or cook dinner in when not out and about in this cool area.

Wonderful location and house

Super location close to Pt Loma dining and running trail that goes along the marina to Harbor drive. Clean and spacious house with everything we needed. Ample parking and the steep driveway were not a problem. We hope to stay again!

Graduation Visit

Great vacation home with easy access to the marina. The only issue was the broken dish washer, but the property manager was very responsive. It was also easy for my elderly mom to walk around and enjoy herself. Highly recommend this vacation home for a family.

The house was nice, clean and an easy base for exploring San Diego. Quiet for sleeping despite the busy street. Backing out of the driveway into traffic was stressful. Size and brightness of the home was lovely and we enjoyed using the back yard. The pots and pans were very worn and the manager sent over new ones. I would recommend they get new cutting boards and baking sheets as they were in pore condition. Also some of the window cranks are pulling away from the window frame. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.

Nice Stay

We chose this location due to its location close to SDYC where my child was sailing in an event. Home had all the things we needed. Beds and pillows were comfy and home was clean. It’s a little noisy during rush hour times with cars going up Rosecrans but not really an issue since bedrooms are set back. Plenty of fans to help keep the home cool.

La Playa Bungalow

Property management company, Coast Cactus, was gracious and answered questions even before we booked. Once we booked, they were supportive and provided helpful details about the property and the check in process. There were very clear instructions for the check in process, the lock code, and more. We didn't have any issues with anything on any part of the property. The house was perfect for my husband and myself, and our 22 year old twins. We celebrated their birthdays and Coast Cactus provided welcome suggestions of where to go for sweet treats, instead of the traditional birthday cake. We cooked a few meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed as far as cooking was concerned. They even checked in with us after our first night, to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. My family and I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend this property. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Lovely backyard retreat. Perfect for reading, relaxing, and enjoying your favorite beverage.

Great location, clean beds, dirty floors

Overall we really enjoyed our time at this property and the location was fantastic (safe and less than 20 minutes to almost everything, if not closer). We had our 1.5 year old with us and the house was perfect for him with a little backyard and walking distance to the water where he could look at the boats. The beds/sheets/towels were very clean, but I gave this property 3 stars overall because the floors were terribly dirty. Our toddler's feet were black after running around and we all ended up having to wear socks when walking around the house, which were also black by the end of the trip. I brought this up to the property management company and even asked for a refund for our cleaning fee, but all I got was "sorry, we'll let the owners know," which was a little disappointing. Overall though, this house was great and we had a wonderful time visiting San Diego.

Great location and large bedrooms

Booked for our family with two young kids (2.5, 1) for long weekend. Pros: great location within easy drive from the airport. Our destinations were the zoo and the aquarium and both were very easy to access. Point Loma is beautiful and Shelter island is great for kids (playground! Food!) The house had a well supplied kitchen for cooking. Bedrooms were large, and living room had comfortable couches for lounging. Backyard dining table was lovely. Cons: driveway is steep and narrow and you must back in, unless you want to back out onto a busy road. Street parking is tough because there is no spot directly in front of the house because of a blind turn. House has one tall, unsecured bookshelf that a baby or toddler can easily topple. Backyard grass is patchy and not great for crawlers. Overall the location is very convenient and the house is spacious. Management company provided basic coffee supplies which is always a nice to have!
