Nancy's Riviera Villa: Bayfront with direct beach access, bikes, and parking!

Below you will find details about our 1 bed/ 1 bath home, Nancy's Riviera Villa in Pacific Beach.

Yes, you CAN have it all! This extra large 900 square feet bay front condo features unobstructed 180 degree views from the living room and private balcony. In March of 2021, we completed a full remodel. Throughout the condo there is all new luxury vinyl plank "driftwood" flooring installed on the diagonal, accompanied by natural stone and framed mirror walls to set off Nancy's extensive shell collection, displayed on specially lit glass shelves.

The dining/game table with 4 swivel chairs sits right by the sliding glass doors which open 8 full feet for capturing the feeling of dining "al fresco." Dimmable recessed lighting lets you have as much or as little light as you want as do the convenient remote-controlled blinds. Relax in the swivel recliner or settle in on the new sofa after a long day of sightseeing. The 50 inch smart TV featuring YouTube TV streaming channels sits above a reflective crystal fire-glass natural gas fireplace creating a comforting and romantic ambience. A queen Murphy bed easily pulls down from the mirrored wall right next to the sliding glass doors, giving you the sensation that you are sleeping over the water. Wake up to the soft morning colors and watch the sea birds play at the water's edge. Make some coffee in the Keurig (K cups provided) and sit out on the balcony that hangs over the sand to watch as the bay comes alive with the UCSD women's rowing team cutting quietly through the glassy water and early morning walkers and joggers pass by on the boardwalk below. If additional sleeping room is needed, the back of the sofa folds down and the bottom half slides out and pops up to make a 70" X 70" square bed in front of the fireplace and TV.

The open style kitchen with a bay view features cherrywood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, crystal blue and turquoise geode glass tile backsplash with natural quartzite countertops and a 'no hands' faucet. All the amenities you need for cooking and eating at home have been provided and three bar stools sit at the kitchen counter. There is a large desk/working area across from the kitchen.

In the bedroom, you'll get a good night's sleep on the new high-end king hybrid mattress. The bed is set on an angle against a custom rock corner wall with quartzite shelves. The 43 inch smart TV features YouTube TV streaming channels. A ceiling fan and dimmable ceiling lights add to your comfort. There is an optional portable AC unit in the bedroom closet that can be set up for those very rare warm nights when the usual breeze off the water flows in from the desert instead (Santa Ana winds).
The renovated bathroom features dual sinks set in turquoise quartz countertops, a heated toilet seat with bidet features and a large oval tub/shower combination. We have installed three grab bars in the shower/tub and 1 grab bar next to the toilet for your safety, convenience and accessibility.

There is a laundry room on each floor with credit card or coin operated front loading washer and dryers and a trash chute. It's just 25 feet (or 12 steps) down the hallway. The half-underground parking area has designated parking space(s) for each condo and the cabinets in front of our condo's parking space hold plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, umbrellas and coolers. We provide two beach cruiser bikes for riding on the miles and miles of boardwalk around 4000 acre Mission Bay Park and the 3.5 mile boardwalk along the ocean.

Riviera Villas Condominiums is a 22 unit building situated on the quieter East side of beautiful Sail Bay (the loveliest part of Mission Bay)! You will have a magnificent view of the sunsets with the activities of the bay in the foreground; kite-boarders, small sailboats, water skiers, catamarans, etc. Yet, you are only 12 minutes from San Diego's bustling downtown historic Gaslamp area and Little Italy, both with their fine dining establishments, 1.5 miles from SeaWorld, and within 15 minutes from the lovely Balboa Park with the famous San Diego Zoo and it's fabulous collection of museums and botanical gardens.

It's just a 10 minute stroll around the bay over to Pacific and Mission Beaches with their wide boardwalks to watch the surfers, play in the waves or catch a sunset. On a cloudless evening you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive green flash just at the exact moment the sun sinks into the ocean.

Vacation rentals in San Diego are for the most part, second homes for the owners. Therefore, some furniture or decor may differ from what is pictured because the owners needed or wanted to replace something. Professional photos are expensive and we can not re-photograph the rental every time something is changed but we do maintain the listing content with any notable furnishing changes especially related to sleeping arrangements. (*Please note: We do not give refunds because a piece of furniture or artwork has changed)

*NOTE: This home is in a residential neighborhood and, as such, is a NOISE SENSITIVE property. Respect must be shown for the property and neighbors at all times. No loud music, parties, and or loud talking outside after 9 pm. Violation of these rules MAY result in immediate eviction from the property per your rental agreement, and/or fines from the San Diego Police. Please review your rental agreement for complete details and rules about your home!

It is important for you to read all the details about your property. We highlight everything you need to know about your vacation rental in our listing, through emails, some home manuals, in-home signage and phone correspondence. We want our guests to feel prepared, informed and at ease while staying with us. We are always available if you have questions!

Upon confirming your booking, we will send you a rental agreement for your upcoming stay which you will need to complete. We will also contact you within 24 hours of the booking to obtain contact information and to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding your upcoming visit along with the House Rules & Rental Agreement. The check-in details will not be shared until the rental agreement has been signed.

Attention Guests: In addition to completing our electronic rental agreement, you will also be required to participate in our identity verification process.

Please note our policies:

6 night minimum AND Saturday check-in is REQUIRED during our holiday season (December 21-January 4). One reservation CANNOT take both holidays, unless it is a 2-week reservation. There are no arrivals OR departures on Christmas or New Year's Day.
*An arrival on a Friday or Sunday may be possible, please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you!

Summer 2024 Policy:
Beginning Memorial Day to Labor Day, Saturday to Saturday is required with 6-7 night reservations. On July 4th 2024, check-in or check-out is NOT permitted. An arrival on a Friday or Sunday may be possible, please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you.

Last Minute Booking Policy:
If a guest books with us directly or on any OTA such as Airbnb and VRBO, within 72 hours of arrival, verification credentials are required. By making a payment on the reservation, the guest agrees to comply with our last minute booking policy.

To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a “selfie” photo specifically of the booking guest's face and holding either a Driver's License, Passport or State ID photo under their chin. We are just looking for a name to match and the photo on the ID to match that of the person in the selfie. This can be sent by email or text to our company email address. Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as, payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.

This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.

Nightly Minimum Policy:
4 night minimum required in the off season.
6 nights AND a Saturday Check-in is REQUIRED during peak season (June - August). Arrival on Friday or Sunday instead may be an option.
