The condo was very nice and extremely close to the beach. We really enjoyed having 3 nice, updated bathrooms and 3 bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed. I liked having assigned gated parking, since parking is difficult in the area. I would stay there again!

Thank you so much, Michele! It was a pleasure hosting you. We are thrilled you enjoyed the 3-bedroom layout and found the kitchen well-stocked for your stay. We know how tricky parking can be in PB, so we’re glad the gated spots made your trip easier. We hope to welcome you back to the beach again soon!

We stayed here for 4 nights with family including kids. It’s a great location and an easy walk to the beach and shops. Having dedicated parking in the garage was awesome! The kitchen is well stocked with what you need, and there are little extra touches throughout to ensure your stay is comfortable. The bathrooms are really nice. We enjoyed using the beach wagon, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and boogie boards available to utilize. What a great touch! Michael is a great communicator and has pride in his property. He quickly answered questions and even gave us ideas for places to explore when we asked. We would definitely visit again!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
We stayed at this condo for 7 nights in early April 2026.Summary: take time-stamped pictures and document literally EVERYTHING the first day or you'll likely to get charged for anything/everything. Pros: - Parking spots, elevator, few steps for someone elderly. - The check-in process was straightforward. - Fairly good location, in terms of access to Pacific Beach. - Good mattress in 2 of the 3 bedrooms. Cons: - Day we left, host immediately sent pictures from cleaners which he said indicated some very minor light scratching of small section of the dining table and accuses us instead of whoever stayed before us. We only used the table normally. We were charged the full damage deposit within hours of check-out based on cleaners. Host indicated we were responsible to fully replace this very cheap (and apparently super easily scratch-able) IKEA table. - Oven failed for two days of our trip. - Key lock pad would often jam up for us. - The upstairs bathroom towel holder wasn't mounted securely on the wall and fell on my foot. The property manager didn't seem concerned about this issue when it was reported to him. - A lot of street noise. - Underwhelming balconies that were dirty. - Most of the furniture and surfaces at the property had light scratching and fairly normal signs of wear and tear throughout (a problem if the host is going to accuse guests and nickel and dime them afterwards).

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We strive to provide a high-quality experience, as reflected in our many 5-star reviews, and we take all guest concerns seriously. We were disappointed to find significant damage to our premium dining table following your stay, which has to be replaced. While we were surprised by the other concerns mentioned — as they were not raised during the one week stay — we maintain strict maintenance and cleaning protocols to ensure everything in the home is in excellent working order for our guests. Our team has confirmed that all amenities are functioning properly, and we have reviewed our balcony cleaning standards to ensure they meet our expectations. We are dedicated to providing a professional and comfortable environment and continue to invest in our property to provide the top-tier experience our travelers expect.
