Contemporary Cliffside Getaway with Ocean Front Patio

Your condo was clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. The patio overlooking the ocean was a great place for watching the sunset.

It’s a wonderful place to stay. Perfect for two people and in a great, quiet location that is close to the Ocean Beach action. The owners were very responsive when we had a question. We would definitely stay again.

Great stay with great weather very close to the water. We had a great experience.

We enjoyed being close to the ocean. Walking distance to the tide pools, pier, and beach. Also, there are many restraunts and stores within walking distance. The rental is very nice. We BBQ’ed on the patio one night and ate outside with a great view of the ocean. The extras were nice too: small cooler, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach bag. We also appreciated extra towels and the washer/dryer. Excellent place to stay!

So this was our first experience using VRBO/Home Away (but not our first use of a vacation home rental platform) and was our first visit to San Diego. We most of all loved the location of the property as it was a central hub for all the sights we wanted to explore. We appreciated the review that mentioned the outside furniture was not comfortable and brought our own lawn chairs which we used everyday to watch the sunset next to the path that runs directly in front of the patio wall. This path is public and well used at sunset time. We did carry the chairs up to our condo when we were not using them due to close public access to the patio. We learned quickly from a kind neighbor we could not take glass or alcohol with us outside of the patio gate, it is considered the “beach” and there is no glass or alcohol allowed. As clearly stated in the property description there is no ocean view from the condo. There is no reason to open the blinds as the view is not good view from any window. The view from the shared patio is great. The bed was comfortable and the closet was nice and large. The tub/shower was ok but the tub is not inviting to take a bath, seemed small-ish. We just used the shower. We felt it was overpriced. We were charged an in-season rate for mid-October dates, the cleaning fee of $125 and the service fee of $145 were subject to tax, with the daily rate of $185.71 it brought our daily cost to $238.96. Also be prepared, it took VRBO 8 days for the damage deposit to be credited back to our account even though we took great care of the property and left it in perfect condition. The hosts were great.
