Good location & worked for us since we just needed a place to sleep. It was clean, but it’s small and could definitely use some updating. It included beach equipment, but both of the chairs were rusty and broken. I communicated that to the host and they were very responsive. It’s also right under a flight path that started around 6:30am and didn’t stop until around 11pm. That’s obviously not at fault to the hosts, just something to be aware of. I felt it was a bit expensive for what we got, but in San Diego you’re paying for location. I like to walk and there’s plenty of stuff around to walk to- great coffee, food, beach, etc.

Double booked

We arrived, put in the code from the email we had recently received through VRBO and were greeted by a noisy small dog. It was obvious someone was living there. We called the property manager who was apologetic and refunded our money immediately but we were still left finding a new place to stay…

Not Quite As Expected

This property would be best suited for a young traveler living out of a backpack. On the plus side, the bed was very comfortable and it was a short walk to our friends' home.

My thoughts

My stay was wonderful, despite the weather. Good location and close many places to eat, walking distant to shops and the beach. Ceiling lights above the bed didn't work and bathroom door really tight. Hooks on back door prevent it from fully opening, maybe replace it with a curtain.

Three blocks from the beach, right across the street from an amazing grocery store, and basically 10 minutes from so many amazing locations in San Diego! The check in process was quick and easy, and Francesca was super responsive with any questions I had. Her place is quaint, clean, and had everything we needed for a perfect trip. Highly recommend! :)
