TheBeachRenter® is known for our extra clean rentals. We are being extremely intentional with our cleanings. We have eliminated all natural cleaners and implemented extra cleaning precautions per CDC guidelines that now also includes professional laundry services. This is still a Rent at Your Own Risk property. No matter the season antiviral wipes and sprays have and will continue to be standard in all our rentals for your peace of mind.

Our Tourmaline Beach Cottage is favorited by many guests for its proximity to San Diego's famous beaches, all things Pacific Beach, and of course beautiful sunsets! Our Tourmaline Beach Cottage is arguably the BEST "bang for your buck" - Centrally located to so much, yet away from it all.

Just 1 block from coffee shop, restaurants, bar and local shopping & 2 blocks for the famous "Tourmaline Surf Park." Tourmaline Surf Park is great for all ages and is where the locals go - grommet sized and up! Pacific Beach Pier is a half mile away and historic Belmont Park one mile, Mission Bay, and Sea World are all just minutes away. And don't forget the start of La Jolla is literally just around the bend.

Our Tourmaline Surfers' Cottage is a great place to relax after returning from a long day at the beach or sightseeing. With 3 bedrooms (sleeps 8), 1 bath, this beach cottage is perfect for any family, group of friends, or couple looking to unwind. Recently updated with all new linens, new queen sleeper couch, plus a fully stocked kitchen that even includes an Instant Pot & an Amazon Alexa. Imagine a peaceful dinner in "Sunny San Diego" in your private backyard and the saltwater air. The property has outdoor Adirondack chairs with a fire pit table, picnic style dining table, and a propane gas BBQ. Follow your evening up with watching sunset from the front yard or take a stroll to the end of the street for a sunset on the ocean, or how about a bay cruise on the famous Bahia Belle with music. The options are endless all within blocks.

There is a private (no coin) onsite laundry room with washer/ dryer - Free for your use are 4 beach chairs, 8 beach towels, 1 cooler, 2 boogie boards and sand toys.

Dishwasher is Essential
We were extremely disappointed that the listed dishwasher didn’t exist. We were celebrating a birthday and and engagement! While we appreciate the courtesy of a $50 refund it didn’t cover all the extra and frequent work washing and drying dishes and pots and pans. We all own and used dishwashers and we never intended to go camping.

Very comfortable, great location.
We were very comfortable in this house. The kitchen was well stocked, the location is great, a short walk to the beach, there's a grocery store close by, it was clean and the beds and bedding was very comfortable. We would stay there again.

Super location, clean and quaint
Communication with property owner was fantastic, although the washing machine wasn’t working, she aided us in a convenient solution. The kitchen was well stocked. Three smallish bedrooms, one of them is attached, meaning You have to walk through a bedroom to get to another. This was no problem, as bedrooms still provided privacy and plenty of space for our teenagers. Pull out sofa provided another sleeping option. Location is great with the surfing beach only 2 blocks away and cafes easily within a short walk. We will be looking to be repeat customers! Thank you

Best Week Ever!!
10/10 We had the best time in San Diego area! We just got home and are making plans to go back! This house is just beautiful. They did a great job setting us up for the best week. We sat by the fire at night in the back yard to warm up after a cold beach day! It’s a closed back yard with grass perfect for my kids. We had 3 rooms … 1 rooms was an adjoining room with a step down into another room. The day bed and trundle were perfect for my kids to sleep in connected to us in the step down room. My in laws loved their room also perfect and spacious. The property is beautifully decorated and the location is the best!! 10 mins to mission beach and Belmont park and 10 mins to Lajolla cove area. We were able to walk down to the beach across mission boulevard and watch the surfers at that beach one morning, that hill was a beast! We walked to an amazing gourmet pizza place, French Pastries… and much more! We rented for 6 days and next year we are planning 2 weeks or more! The property owners were amazing at communicating with us every step of the way! They texted before we got there / while we were there to check in / and after we left to ensure we enjoyed our stay! We can’t wait to go back and highly recommend this property!
