Please call or email me if you have any questions

I love the great family and beach feel of the neighborhood, the walkability to great restaurants, bars, shopping and most importantly the beach. I always enjoy going to Leilani's Hawaiian food, Fig Tree Cafe, The Fishery, Oscars's, and Albertsons just one-two blocks away. I find that I do very little driving when I'm staying in the neighborhood and really enjoy walking the neighborhood. North PB is a perfect blend between La Jolla and Pacific Beach and we are truly blessed to call such a wonderful place home.

Yes we have a bus stop on the corner!

Please be aware that the outdoor space is shared.

Perfect for SDSU grad weekend

This townhouse was perfect for our stay for our family. The location was great - we could easily walk to the beach, great restaurants (Leilani’s, Fig Tree and Second Nature ) and coffee (Java Earth). The rooms were clean and spacious- as were the bathrooms. Kitchen had everything we needed and was well stocked with plates etc. Loved it and would use again (if I had another SDSU since we are out-of-state).

Great place in Pacific Beach

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was great - close to shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the beach chairs, bikes and sand toys. The house was clean and in the described condition when we arrived. Communication and check in/check out was smooth. Nice to have laundry in the unit. Highly recommend!!

Perfect beach getaway spot

My girlfriends and I spent a long weekend celebrating several milestone birthdays and this was the perfect spot. We had lots of plans to go out but were so cozy and having so much fun in this space that we opted to stay in. It was clean, spacious and has a great kitchen and nice refrigerator. Parking is limited so be aware if you have multiple cars. I would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect for Family of 5

The location was great, and everything was as advertised. We were very thankful for a guaranteed parking space since good parking in SD is so hard to find. Gelson’s Market is a short walk away, so getting groceries for breakfast each day was a breeze. The Birrieria nearby was also awesome!

Amazing

This was the perfect property for our family vacation. It was clean and very well furnished. It was so nice to have all the beach supplies. The beach two blocks away is more for surfers. You’ll still want to drive to the pier at Pacific Beach. Quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend!!!

We had the best time here. Great place for family, much bigger than we expected in a quiet and nice neighborhood. Walk to the beach is a little bit further than we thought but still walkable! Amazing restaurant near by called Leilani’s place that was a great find! House was well stocked and clean thank you for sharing with us!

Good location and amenities with clean, modern feel.

Had a great stay. Clean unit with newer/modern updates. Walking distance to multiple restaurant options and grocery. Less than 10 min walk to surfers beach (note-last 100 yards or so is paved sidewalk but kind of steep). Rental is part of a townhome style location so it’s great for a multi-family stay if renting both units. We would stay there again!

Our Great Stay

We had an amazing stay at this property. For future visitors just show up! He has equipped this property with everything you need right down to ziplock bags. The property is so comfortable we felt right at home. Short walk to the beach, restaurants, a bakery and a couple of coffee shops. The parking in back is tight but we were sharing with someone with a large SUV. Plenty of street parking. Had a pleasant chat with the staff that works on the property….so nice! I am already looking forward to our next stay.

great location

This property is in a great location if you don't mind a short walk to the beach. The duplex had everything you need for a relaxing day at the beach. This duplex does not face the street. It is behind a house that is actually on the street. It didn't bother us as we were there for 2 nights and no one was using the other side of the duplex. We really enjoyed our stay. The duplex had everything we needed and is updated nicely. I'd rent again!
