Just okay. A bit rundown, the bed was very soft and uncomfortable. Neighbors let their dogs run about off leash and made some noise. On the plus side:it is close to the beach and parking was not as bad as expected.I wouldn’t go again.

We have stayed always upstairs but this time we tried downstairs and it worked out perfect. Love these apartments. So close to the beach and shops. Very clean with beautiful landscaping. The only thing was there was no gas to BQ so that bummed us out. Nice to be able to walk to everything. Highly recommend.

Comfortable and Cozy

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at this cozy apartment. It is just as described, and literally a block from the ocean, and within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Quiet and friendly neighborhood and would definitely stay here again.

Great Location in Pacific Beach!

I was in San Diego for a short stay and loved the location of this property. You are steps away from Pacific Beach. There are tons of restaurants, shops, and bars within walking distance. The property management were super responsive and extremely helpful! I 100% would stay here again!

Sweet spot close to the beach!

Loved this apartment - it was well equipped and had what you needed. It was just a few 100 feet from the ocean walkway and close to lots of restaurants but it was quiet on the street. Nothing fancy and well worth it!

Perfect Location

You cannot get a better location. Just steps from the beach, and perfectly set back in a quiet small condo community. The host was always quick to respond and helpful with anything needed. The unit is quaint, clean and has all necessary amenities.Street parking was also easy to come by.

Beach Apartment

The location was one block from the beach and a great location. There was only street parking for the one bedroom units which wasn’t usually a problem. The recycle bin had a rusted lock which was difficult to use and should be replaced. The toaster provided was rusted and dirty, I bought a new one myself.The manager had purchased a replacement and said she would reimburse me for the one I bought but she never did. The VRBO description said there was coin operated laundry available but there are no laundry facilities for the guests. Bed pillows were poor quality and lumpy so we bought our own.
