Spacious and Ideal !

My family members and I travelled, from all over USA, for our mother's Burial at Sea/ Funeral. This house was very spacious, clean, brightly lit with natural lighting, many private bathrooms, and a very large kitchen. It was situated in a neighborhood where we felt safe and enjoyed walking to Surf-Hill and coffee shops. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and stocked with fresh, and soft linens. The layout of the house, with its many private bathrooms, is ideal for families. I did not hesitate to give it a 5 star review!

Amazing Location

This is a beautiful home in a great location. Overall our stay went great. The only complaint is squeaky floors and thin walls, so noise was a bit of an issue with children sleeping. But I would stay here again!

We had an amazing experience at this property. All the rooms were spacious and cozy. The management team was excellent, and they got back to us immediately with any questions we had. House had everything we needed and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again. The location was great - so close to the beach and in a charming area.

Great location!

This house was fantastic for our group of 10. It was so nice that there were 5 bathrooms, made it so easy to get ready. It was close to the beach and less than 30 min from everything we wanted to do. Parking is a bit tough in the area so I would recommend taking only 2 vehicles.

Lovely property

This property was perfect for our sibling reunion. The upstairs loft room with the great outdoor deck was a big hit. The property is in a really good location. It's close to grocery stores, restaurants, and the beach. Having a garage parking space is a big plus. The kitchen had everything we needed. I highly recommend this property.

Great house for large group.

The house was beautiful, clean, great indoor and outdoor space. It was just as represented in the listing. Convenient location to grocery and restaurants. Easy to walk to many locations. Having the garage for 1 vehicle was nice as street parking was hard to find.

Great location, well stocked and maintained property

We were a group of 5 guests who met in San Diego and enjoyed this property greatly. It's location was central to the many activities we visited downtown, in Encinitas & La Jolla and access to the garage was helpful. The numerous en suite bedrooms were enjoyed by all, as was the cleanliness and well stocked kitchen in the property. We highly recommend this property and the management company.

Great location, quiet neighborhood.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sapphire Retreat! The house is clean, modern, had plenty of dishes & cookware for our needs, & comfortable beds. We loved the rooftop lounge and firepit with views of the San Diego bay and ocean. Great pics at sunset! A great coffee shop, grocery store & gas station are within walking distance. You can walk to the beach & downtown Pacific Beach. We highly recommend this house if you are looking for a great place to stay in Pacific Beach!

We stayed with a group of 7 for 5 nights. The house is very clean and well appointed. The location is great. It is very close to the beach, grocery stores and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with everything to cook and entertain a large group. The neighborhood is quiet. I would recommend this house to anyone!

We loved this house! We were in Pacific Beach for a month and this house was great. It is a quality home outfitted with high end Viking appliances and well stocked with everything you will need such as dinnerware, pots, pans, cutlery, etc...The beds and bedding are nice and the washer/dryer set up is perfect.We really enjoyed the rooftop deck. Each morning we would go up to watch the ocean and wait for the parrots.The location has the benefit of being near restaurants, grocery and the beach but just far enough away from the hubbub. We felt very lucky to have picked such a nice place in such a great location.

Perfect experience

We could not have been happier with this property. We stayed there for an extended weekend with friends to attend the Breeder's Cup at Del Mar. We ended up spending most of our weekend in the Pacific Beach neighborhood and around the house. Fun time and the house and its layout really contributed to the experience. Great en suite bedrooms gave everyone privacy and the common areas were great for socializing. Gem of a spot.

Great beach getaway

Overall our stay was very good. The house is spacious and had enough rooms and bathrooms for our group. The neighborhood is nice and it is about a 10 minute walk to the surf beach - a bit further to get closer to bars and restaurants on the boardwalk. The only issue was the first floor bedroom didn’t have an attached bathroom. There is a bathroom in the first floor with a shower, but it’s unattached. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. The home was very well done.

Nice house for family vacations and entertaining

All in all, nice home and great location. Only complaint related tthe garage located in the alley. Backing out of the garage into the alley required a bit of patience and unloading baggage/groceries was not a straight shot into the house. The only other issue involved construction work next door but that was certainly out of the control of the property owners.

Birthday trip

We celebrated our daughter’s 21st bday with 4 of her friends and this house was perfect for our group. The bedroom and bathroom situation is perfect. The 2nd floor are all en-suite’s… the loft is as well, but no door to that room (which is fine)… and the main floor bathroom works well for the bedroom on that floor. The beach is a 10 min walk or 2 min drive. We would drive to Law beach, drop all the stuff and find a parking spot close. This beach is great… showers and bathrooms. The house had everything we needed. Well equipped. Internet was great. Close to food spots and a local grocery store.
