Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the location and the beautiful view. It’s wonderful to know you had everything you needed within walking distance and easy access to the beach.
Fantastic, clean place overlooking and excellent and clean beach. Really appreciated the beach and pool supplies provided (sand toys, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, pool noodles, small inner tube floats, and towels). Nice outdoor shower with warm water to rinse off sand. Beach was great for kids (waves not too big, shallow for a ways out). Had some good restaurants in walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful, comfortable room! The view is amazing!! Great supply of beach/pool accessories that were in good shape. Wonderful location. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked. Only issues are that the sofa was not very comfortable and we found that one of the beds in the room was a bit hard for our taste. However, I would highly recommend this property.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views, the convenient location, and the well-stocked kitchen. It’s also great to know that the beach and pool accessories added to your stay.
We appreciate you mentioning the sofa and the firmness of one of the beds. During your stay, we did not receive any notice about these concerns, and we would have been more than happy to assist or see if there was anything we could do to make you more comfortable.
Thank you again for the recommendation. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!
This property was everything we were expecting and more. It was very clean, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The check in and check out process was very easy, and I appreciated the thorough process when we booked. It gave me a lot of reassurance about the property and rental company. My son loved trying the boogie board on the beach, and we loved the pool, and watching the sunset and surfers from the living room! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to other families.

Stay Here! Nancy's Vacation Rental is quick to respond any questions you have about the VRBO. Great view with a well furnished condo. Absoultely zero problems.
Some firmer beds would be good and furniture with some firmness. Also a pitcher would be a great addition. But it was a lovely week.

Hi Sherrie, thank you for sharing this feedback! We have let the owners know about the beds, perhaps a firmer mattress topper could be helpful too. A pitcher has been added to the property inventory. Glad to know it was a lovely week. We hope to host you again soon!
Love the Capri and often stay there while visiting San Diego. I’ve used different rental agencies. This agency had clear and concise directions and when I communicated with them, they were friendly and timely. They offered a nice discount on an extra night which worked out nicely. Thanks! About the room, it was super clean, exactly as pictured. Lots of amenities including beach chairs, towels, toys. Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely rent this unit from this Nancy’s rentals again. Thanks!

Listing as described. Location was excellent. Very secure. Only tip would be to rent the AC unit if temperature high is greater than 75. It was warm and leaving windows and door open allowed for marijuana smell from the beach and the breezeway to entire the condo.
Would def rent again.
Always enjoy staying at the Capri! The location and view is amazing. But, someone in a nearby unit was smoking. This is an issue because, we like to keep the sliding door open for our entire stay. The only other thing, was that the tv in the bedroom wouldn’t connect to any WiFi. I like to fall asleep with the tv on. I had to use my personal hotspot, that was until I used all I could and the speed slowed. I don’t think I will stay in this unit again, for fear that the smoker is an owner and would possibly be there when I visit SD again.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay in one of our unit! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and view.
We wanted to let you know that we have already reported the smoking issue in the nearby unit to the HOA to ensure it is addressed. Regarding the bedroom TV, we understand how important it is to have a reliable connection, and our team did provide WiFi so you could connect your device during your stay.
We truly value your feedback and hope that this matter will be resolved for future visits.
We stayed over July 4th. The property was a perfect place to go to the beach. Easy access, the unit came with chairs, umbrella and all the beach gear needed.
The beach was only crowded on July 4th but we were still able to find a great spot and we’re not crowded in on.
Plenty of dinning options close by.
The unit itself was just as described. Very clean with the exception of the shower drain needed to be cleaned out. All basic amenities were included and an ample supply. The only thing I didn’t think of was coffee. I’ve always had that supplied when staying at a VRBO.
The only reason I gave it a 4 stars instead of 5 is no grace on early check in. Our flight got us in early and even after a long lunch we still had an hour to kill before check in. When I called we were told we could check in at the 3 but would be charged $20 plus tax. I would think as a courtesy if the unit was cleaned and unoccupied you would allow this.
I would definitely stay again.
The location of this property is impeccable and the views from the 9th floor of the ocean are amazing! Overall the condo was clean and cozy but it did have a few quirks. The bed linens were not as expected from the listing photographs, when we arrived the white comforters were covered with outdated and dingy quilts that I had to remove immediately. There was also a touch of black mold in the bedroom window sill, unfortunately this is not uncommon for the area and because of that alone I did not find the condition unacceptable. There is no AC in this unit but we had no problem keeping the place cool with the balcony door open and the fans on. There was a central heating unit in the condo that we had a difficult time keeping “off” which would have been preferable as it makes a loud and unpleasant noise when the fan is running, that drowns out the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. These are the reasons my rating was 4 stars instead of 5, but I would definitely stay here again as long as the price is reasonable.

My husband, daughter and I had a great Stay Nancy’s Vacation Rental. Condo was very clean and was well stocked with everything we needed; plenty of towels, dishes, coffee maker etc.
Location of condo is great, we were very happy to be in North Pacific Beach over Mission Beach. Mission beech and Balboa park rides are a 2 mile walk which is fun to go to see all the condos along the beach. We did it at night, took about 40 minutes had dinner at Cannonball and took a $9 Uber back to condo. Honestly we found more restraunts and shops closer to our condo than in mission beach. It’s a bit quieter which we liked.
My daughter and husband took a surf lesson from Wavehuggers (instructor Cady) and she was awesome. Best thing is it was right up beach, walkable from condo.
All in all, amazing condo with spectacular view. Would definitely stay here again.
