Great location, just steps away from the beach, restaurants, and coffee which is what drew us to this location when booking. It was a pretty quiet neighborhood as well. We appreciated all the items the house had to offer to make our stay comfortable from full kitchen-ware to beach items. We had a little issue checking in where we were given the wrong lockbox code days prior to our arrival, leaving all our bags and groceries stuck on the porch for about 30 minutes before being able to get ahold of someone to get the correct code. Aside from that, we have a very enjoyable stay and would look at staying at the location again.

SD property

The stay was just fine, we had everything we needed and enjoyed how close it is to the beach. However, not having a dedicated parking spot was really hard. Parking is near non existent in the area because of all the people. We ended up getting a 130 ticket for parking somewhere we shouldnt have (not labeled well). The property is listed as being in a quiet neighborhood and we were reminded of this at check in. It really wasnt that quiet. The weekend included a lot of partying in nearby bars and the weekdays were pretty loud too. It didnt bother us but just wanted to throw it out there. We really enjoyed our stay. Thankyou

My daughter and I stayed a few days before she began her studies at SDSU. Steps away from the bay and the beach, it was quite convenient. The property is itty bitty, but quite comfortable with all the home away from home amenities needed to cook, sleep, lounge and relax.

Perfect location

Amazing location! Bay to the left and beach to the right. It is a little noisy late at night because of the proximity to the bars/restaurants on Mission but the neighbors are quiet. House was very clean and they provided sand toys and beach chairs. House has everything you need and the beds are comfortable. The only issue we had was how dark it is inside. During the day it’s good, but by 4 pm it is super dim inside, even with all the lights on.

Beach getaway for 30th bday

Stay was great at an amazing location is amazing. I wish the host did a better job emphasizing how to prepare for parking if you arrive midday. I also recommend adding a pillow topper to the mattress (which was very firm) and some additional lighting throughout the space.

Girls' Trip

The place was very clean and the location was great. It was very central to other areas of the city, and the neighborhood had plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The beach was also a very short walk. I would recommend getting some more lights in the apartment and maybe a dehumidifier. It was cold and damp and dark but we didn't spend much time inside other than sleeping.
