Policies & House Rules
What to expect after booking: We manage properties on behalf of our owners. Upon confirming your booking, we will send you a rental agreement for your upcoming stay which you will need to complete. This agreement reviews our terms and conditions, house rules and policies, and what to expect of your stay. 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. The check-in details will not be shared until the rental agreement has been signed, payment has been made, and the guest has connected with one of our guest services agents.
In addition to completing our electronic rental agreement, you will also be required to participate in our identity verification process. The Verify Hub service is offered through Autohost; an intelligent guest screening software that automates ID verifications, background and credit checks, security deposits and more, helping to improve guest experience and safety. Please note: for the credit card verification, a $2 hold will be placed on the card to run the report. This hold will never process and will fall off automatically within 7 days.
Property Appearance: 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)
Property Responsibilities: If you have never stayed in a vacation rental before, we are not a hotel, WE ARE BETTER! We offer many of the same luxuries of a hotel with the comfort and space of home to share with your whole family. Our property owners are our friends and we work with each owner to offer a special, specific and ideal environment for guests to experience and enjoy.

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).

Family Loved It
Location was perfect to walk to beach, restaurants and shops. We had a family of 8 which included 2 kids under 6. We fit perfectly. Anymore than 6 adults would mean someone would be on the top bunk. The only bump in the road was trying to stream a sporting event. It kept stopping and buffering. Not a big deal though when the beach is so close by.

Excellent location
This property was super convenient for everything we wanted to do in and around San Diego. Only difficult was in the parking spot. Grateful that they had one, but it’s a tight fit. Small SUV was the absolute biggest vehicle that would fit. Truly only a block from the beach, which the kids loved. I would absolutely stay here again.

Feels like Grandma’s house
This house had nice updates, but it kinda felt like your grandma’s house. Everything was super clean, but old. Like the towels were well used/old, but clean…like at grandma’s house. The table in the kitchen is strange and made of metal so not great for kids. Places for eating is cramped, but was totally fine for us. The living area is small but has a really nice big couch. They have lots of games for kids. Super close wall to the beach and it was nice to have a parking space, which is located at the back of the entrance.

Pictures are not to be believed
Property needs major updating! Carpet looks original and worn out and filthy with carpet tack strips exposed. Pictures look great and don’t show the real condition of the property. They put rug down in living room to hide worn carpet.I would not recommend it to any family.

Tight parking
Very tight parking, hope you have. A compact car. Place is about a 5 minutes walk from the beach. The kitchen sink drain smelled like rotting fish when we arrived. The bikes that are available are very rusted, probably a tetanus shot waiting to happen. The back patio is small and a bit closed in. No view to speak of. As a place to lay my head down at night, it was perfect. I would probably choose a place with a little bit of a view.

Wonderful location for a family trip
My family and I had a great stay at this property. You can't beat the location, specifically the proximity to the beach. The check-in and check-out process was easy.
A couple of notes:
The home is a bit more dated than the pictures demonstrate, especially in the kitchen. None of this impacted our ability to cook meals.
Some of the beach equipment is worn and could be replaced. Specifically, chairs and seats on bikes were provided. It was great to have an umbrella we could use. You must bring a wagon to transport the chairs and other items.
The parking is tight, but street parking is available.
There is compositing, which is great for those who plan to cook a lot.
If you bring a pet, ask ahead of time about the cost. I was surprised about the cost of bringing my two small dogs, as the specific amount was not provided on the listing.
