Guest Access:
Access to the entire house (just not the locked closet under the stairs), the parking area, the outdoor area, and the upstairs balcony.
The Neighborhood:
Located right next to the heart of PB, San Diego's best beach town, this home offers convenience and accessibility to all the attractions the area has to offer.
Pacific Beach is a relaxed neighborhood by the beach, popular with sunbathers, surfers, locals, and vacationers alike! Any beachgoer flocks to Pacific Beach. Trendy hotel bars and casual cafes line the boardwalk, while Mission Boulevard and the surrounding streets are dotted with clothing boutiques, yoga studios and casual drinking spots that draw a fun bar-hopping crowd. Just next door, Mission Beach has one of the last remaining wooden rollercoaster at Belmont Park, so be sure to check that out! Slightly more inland, the grassy slope of Kate Sessions Park has sweeping views of the city and San Diego Bay. Of course you're super close to Seaworld and if you prefer the zoo, just about a 10 minute drive to there. Downtown, the convention center, and Petco Park are about 15 minutes away.
Getting Around:
Pacific Beach is very walkable, but a car is recommended if you want to get to other parts of San Diego.
Other Things to Note:
For your safety, there is a ring doorbell camera at the front door and an outdoor camera by the parking area and outdoor area.

Pest/Cleanliness issuesBooked this house for a multigenerational trip. The house was in a great location and the space was adequate for what we needed. However, the house had some cleanliness issues and pest problems. The dishwasher was full of old food/mold. The bed sheets in our room had hair on them. The biggest issue we had were roach encounters - in the kitchen and an upstairs bedroom. We had to check all of our luggage the morning we left to make sure none made it back with us.

Family Beach Vacay!
The design of this home suited our group perfectly! Multiple bedrooms on multiple floors allowed us to spread out for sleeping, but gather in the open spaces for meals & family time! The proximity to the ocean and bay was perfect - we walked to both! Our only snafu happened at check-in, but the manager acknowledged their mistake and accommodated us for the inconvenience. We will definitely look to stay at this property in the future!

Great location but you’re getting what you pay for
This would be a good place to stay for a guys trip, but the property wasn’t very clean. The location was great and a very convenient spot. I wouldn’t recommend this to mid 20s-30 yr olds looking for a nice place to visit with friends/spouses - it just wasn’t clean enough. It is a great spot for a younger group looking for a place at a reasonable price

Couldn’t have been better! Awesome location!!
Awesome property! 3 floors with a detached 2 car garage. Everything we needed was there and didn’t need anything extra. 10/10 would recommend. Very convenient as everything was in our vicinity. Walked back home from Mavericks, walked all the way to Waterbar with ease! Only issue is parking, so always prioritize street parking over the garage if you’re going to have more than 2 cars, but it wasn’t a problem for us. Loved it!!

Perfect House for Family/Friends in PB!
We recently rented here with friends for a week. We had adults and teenagers and the house was a perfect fit! It is exactly what the pictures show. Clean, modern, comfortable sleeping for 10 and great outdoor spaces to relax. It’s walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the beach. The kids enjoyed the freedom to be out and about enjoying PB while the adults enjoyed some excellent dinners. We would stay here again and highly recommend this great house!

Inter generational Family Vacation
The property was the perfect space for our family- easy access ground floor bedroom & shower for great grandpa and bunk beds & bathtubs for the little ones and clean, comfortable, spacious bedrooms for everyone else. Easy walk to the cove stocked with play toys for the kids and lots of nearby places to explore. We had a very memorable time here… no complaints!

Our family flew in from CT, CO, and MN to join our CA family for a Thanksgiving get-away. The home easily accommodated our large family and was convenient to the beach, zoo, La Jolla and other sites.
