Perfect location-fantastic property!

We stayed with our kids ages 9 and 11, this was the perfect location. A short walk to the beach, boardwalk, Belmont Park, shopping, and food. The host and locals were very helpful with suggestions. The home was equipped with everything we needed for the beach. We had a great time and would love to stay here again!

Great location

The location just outside the main tourist area was key to our enjoyment of staying here. Excellent communication with the owner, rather than an agent, was another key. The washer/dryer made our 3 week stay a breeze. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to TCI.

Probably one of the best experiences we’ve had with a rental! The apt was very clean and we were provided with plenty of supplies. The bed and couch were very comfortable. The owners were easy to reach and responsive to texts. Great location close the beach, restaurants and shops.

Beautiful beach bungalow!

Perfect for the two of us! Just steps from the beach and Belmont park, yet far enough to not be disturbed by excess noise. Very clean, modern amenities with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing week at the beach. Great communication with the owner. Looking forward to our next stay.

Perfect Location

Would definitely stay again! This is by far the best location to the beach, Sea World, golf, and all the beach activities! Super short walking distance to restaurants and beach was a huge plus! Private parking spot was a bonus and close to house. Communication with the host was A++! Perfect place for a couple to stay. Very clean and newly remodeled. Loved it.

We are so happy to hear you had a great time! We are glad you were able to use the dedicated parking spot as I know it is so tough to get parking at the beach. I am happy to have helped with the random commercial truck that was making it tough for you to park last week. Luckily, this is a very rare occasion and this hasn't happened to our previous guests. We hope you had a safe trip back home!

Ten days of Bliss

We loved staying at Jamaican A Good Time. The accommodations had everything we needed including Beach towels and chairs And a well stocked kitchen as well as TVs and games. We were a stones throw from the Wonderful beach, And not far from many activities to explore. We loved going to Balboa Park and listening to the free concerts. Don’t miss that San Diego zoo and also the safari animal park. Our host Evan was supreme!

The sequel was as good as the original!

We returned for our second visit to this awesome retreat. It was just as great as the first. Everything was as described in the listing. Great food all around us, and beach chairs and umbrella to help us enjoy the beach. I wasn't sure the sequel would match last year's trip, but it did! Would definitely recommend and we hope to make another trip back in the future when we can stay even longer.
