Thank you for staying with us, Janet. We regret we don't have more information regarding your specific areas of concern, as we are always happy to know how we can provide a more pleasant stay for our guests. We hope we have the chance to impress you in the future. Thank you.
Fabulous PB GetawayWe LOVED this property...very clean, well equipped, great location (walkable to so many PB hotspots) and very proactive property management. We have already booked a return trip for next fall. Absolutely terrific experience
The home is a block from the beach and easy walking distance to all PB restaurants and shops. It is a great little place if you are traveling with your pup - nice yard area. Only a 3-minute walk to see the sunrise and sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. The host was very attentive and helpful.

Cute house close to beach.
Very responsive management.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The location cannot be beat. The house is perfectly set up for a young family. Can’t wait to go back next year.

Great house!!
We love our family summer vacations to PB & this house was great!!… perfect location, nicely appointed, wonderful backyard, ample parking, tasteful decor… we definitely plan to stay here again in the future.
We loved this property — it is exactly as advertised, clean, well-appointed, and close to everything. I’d absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a rental in San Diego.
Great location! A block from the beach! The best taco shop just around the corner too! Grocery store is just a few blocks away… Everything you need is right there. The house was spotless and the kitchen was very well equipped. They had YouTube TV and excellent WiFi. Will definitely stay there again!
This house had everything you needed for a very comfortable stay. It’s close to a lot of restaurants, little cafes and a cute food fest while we were there. The property was well kept and it was great they had an outdoor shower. We were able to bypass the line for the beach showers and just rinsed off at home. This house will be the go to house when we visit SD again.

Thanks so much for your review, Monica! We enjoyed hosting you and we'd love to welcome you back again :)
Stayed here for my wedding weekend and it was better than I could have imagined! All the girls got ready at the house and it was big enough for all of us to get ready comfortably (6 girls). The place was very comfortable and in such a convenient location. We were able to walk anywhere we needed to in PB. Would stay again and highly recommend!

House couldn’t have worked out better for our family of 4. House was very clean and big enough for us to sleep comfortably. Location is perfect. We’ll be looking to book this same house in 2025.

Great Stay
We absolutely loved our stay here! You can't beat the location from Pacific Beach, just a block and a half away. We love drinking our coffee in the backyard in the mornings and being able to walk over to the beach to see if the sunset was any good or not. We were here over the 4th of July so everything was super crowded, but it didn't feel that way here at the house. Loved that there was a long enough driveway to fit both of our vehicles. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Beach House
We have stayed at this property several times over the years and keep coming back. The location is great being just one block from the beach and a few blocks from all the shops and restaurants. They recently updated the interior which turned out nice. Kitchen is well stocked and having private parking and the garage for storage is extremely convenient. We would highly recommend this property.
I do not have enough nice things to say about this listing. Location a block from beach, beautiful mature landscaping. Perfect size for our group with updated interiors but retaining the original charm. Really wish this house were my own

Always a Special Place
This was our ninth extended stay and, as always, we loved it! 821 is such a warm, inviting and comfortable home with all the amenities you need … clean, well-appointed, comfortable seating and beds, well-equipped kitchen, excellent internet service, lovely fenced backyard, off-street parking, only a block to the beach, and an easy walk to all that PB has to offer. It would be hard to find a better place.
Efficient little house in Pacific Beach. Close to the beach. Centrally located. Easy to get to La Jolla, Downtown SD, Coronado, etc. All the essentials in the kitchen. Nice fenced back yard for our pup. Perfect for a week away from home and to explore the city.

Thank you for your review and for staying with us, Cody!
Loved the property, loved the location.
Steps from the beach, quiet at night .
Only negative (and this is out of control of the property manager) is that we couldn't use the beautiful outdoor space during the day because of construction noise from the home behind the property.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the property and its fantastic location. We’re sorry about the construction noise from the neighboring home – while it’s beyond our control as you mention, we make every effort to keep our guests informed about any nearby construction that the City schedules. We understand how this could affect your outdoor experience and hope you'll consider staying with us again to enjoy the space fully in the future!
