Harry and I really enjoyed the privacy and peaceful quite mornings. Loved having the patio available. We will probably be getting in touch for next year 2026! Thank you for a great stay!
The location is pretty good and the place was clean. The bed is very hard and when there are people upstairs it is really noisy. Management was very responsive and clearly cares.
This studio was perfect for a week stay for my girlfriend and I. Unit is as advertised in photos/listing. Beach chairs and towels provided are a huge bonus. Great location in Pacific Beach - 10 min walk to the beach and 15 min walk to restaurants/bars. Check in/out process super easy. Parking spot provided is very small and won't fit most cars but street parking is easy.

This is the first VRBO property which was a little disappointing!! The information on the listing did not reflect the property accurately!! NO useable parking and NOT 2 blocks to the Beach.

Thank you for your review Hal- We do have in our listing that the parking space dimensions are 7’3”W x 17’3”D. This home also has two streets between it and the ocean, which is why it is advertised as "2 blocks from ocean". We appreciate your feedback!

Recent stay in San Diego, unhappy
Positives: location, comes with parking, checkin process
Negatives: Expired soap and conditioner, dusty sheets and pillows, partially working gas stove, stained quilt, very narrow parking ( mid size sedan or compact cars are only fitting ones). It was not worth the value,, probably a hotel could have beenna better choice.

Ehh. One or two nights tops.
Diana, the property manager, was incredibly responsive and helpful. Unfortunately, that's where it stops. In the review/summary, it mentioned upstairs neighbors and shared space but in residential along with parking. The parking is sufficient if you have a smart car, as the space is incredibly small; there is street parking, thankfully. When I arrived, the people upstairs were loudly arguing, and the shared space concept seemed foreign to them. Also, the head of the bed is right by the garage, so be prepared to hear that.
Additionally, you can hear every step upstairs and almost hear their conversations. If you'll be out most of the day and noise doesn't disturb sleep, it's good for a night or two. It was very clean and about a 10-minute walk to the beach.

Zandalee,
I am so glad you found our Studio to be clean and in great proximity!
I really wish you had called the 24/7 guest line, we could have at least remedied the noise above. We do ask all guests to respect the common areas. Our "Suitability Notes" on this listing does state that you can hear guests above, we did not know about the garage. We will talk to owners about sound proofing the ceiling and garage wall.
I unfortunately think you got a bad timing with it all - So sorry about that! As this unit has been renting on a different third party site with great reviews - but we cannot improve what we do know - so we appreciate the feed back.
