Highly recommend this property. It’s a beautiful, spacious house that is one block from the beach. The house has a great kitchen with numerous amenities for cooking meals. The bedrooms are clean and private with a bathroom. The house was clean, everything was well-marked and explained. Would definitely rent again.

Thank you so much for your great review, Jennifer!
The location was fantastic! Not only close to the beach and restaurants but also a grocery store. Kitchen was very well equipped and there was loads of stuff for the beach (chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, towels, etc). Absolutely loved that the sliding doors downstairs open up the entire width of the house so we had a lovely indoor/ outdoor experience.

The property was a nice large property that suited our families needs. Five minute walk to the ocean, which was nice Drift Vacations was very responsive to any issues that came up in the house. The kitchen was well appointed. There were a few improvements that I noted to the company.
We had a group of 8 in town for a bachelor party and needed sufficient places to sleep in a good location. This place was terriffic and I can't recommend it enough to pthers who are contemplating

It’s important to clarify for future guests that we do not allow bachelor or bachelorette parties at our properties. Unfortunately, this guest violated our house rules and left the home in very poor condition, requiring extensive maintenance and replacement of damaged items. We work hard to maintain high standards and a comfortable experience for all guests, and we appreciate those who respect our homes and policies.
Amazing house! Exceeded our expectations. Close to everything, in PB but still quiet house and neighbors. Perfect house for our stay. Although we did not cook the kitchen had everything you would possibly need. Super clean too!
This house was perfect for our group. Great location and the house was very clean. Updated appliances and everything we needed was there. Short walk to the beach and restaurants.

Thanks so much for your review, Ryan! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back again :)
I can’t say enough about this rental. We have been renting in Southern CA for years and this was a top tier experience. The house is even better than the pictures - the kitchen is not just furnished it is meticulously organized, bathrooms are clean and stocked with basic necessities, small touches like hampers in each room for laundry, beach chairs/towels provided, and extra clean linens made us feel at home and well cared for. Communication with the host was also excellent. Great location, great house, fantastic host. We can’t wait to return.

Loved the place, walked to the beach every morning for surfing and coffee. Great beach location comfortable beds and pillows, quiet neighborhood.
It was all we could ask for for our family of 11 people.
Our family of 7 fit comfortably in the open and spacious home. Conveniently located, close to beach, bay, restaurants and shops. All the amenities we needed were there!

Great Stay at Pacific Beach
We were pleasantly surprised with the house and all the amenities it offered. It was very close to the beach and other local hangouts. We will be booking this location again in the near future.
We had several family members stay at this house and we had an amazing time! House has enough bedrooms to accommodate everyone. Big kitchen and nice outside eating/sitting locations. Walking distance to beach and stores was fantastic!
There were 6 of us and beds for everyone. It was extremely clean. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, paper towels, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Walking distance to the grocery store and beach. Neighborhood was quiet, safe, walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants.
