Remodeled Crystal`s See the Sea Condo on boardwalk

Welcome to Crystal’s See the Sea Condo, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath home located in Pacific Beach next to the iconic Crystal Pier!
This unit was remodeled in late 2022, featuring completely updated bathrooms, living room furniture, and kitchen appliances.
Crystal’s condo is part of the “SEE THE SEA” Oceanfront Complex, situated right on the boardwalk. Nothing separates this building from the beach except the Pacific Beach/Mission Beach boardwalk and the white sand beach.
The condo is in the heart of Pacific Beach, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and the bustling boardwalk. From the balcony (not directly ocean-facing), enjoy a corner view of the ocean and the lively activity right outside. It’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening drink with front-row entertainment.
Rent bikes and explore the 3.5-mile boardwalk, or head to the pier for fishing in minutes. Kono’s restaurant, popular for breakfast and lunch, is just across the street.
At See the Sea, relax in the common area lounge chairs, protected by a glass wind wall that allows you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the waves. There’s also a jacuzzi to unwind after a long day.
This first-floor condo is above the gated parking garage, with elevator access. The California-style kitchen features new appliances and a breakfast bar with 4 stools, opening to the dining and living areas. The dining table seats 4–6 and can be moved to allow the Murphy bed to open for extra sleeping accommodations.
Sleeping arrangements include:
* Master Bedroom: King bed with private in-suite bathroom
* Guest Bedroom: Double bed with pull-out single trundle and private in-suite bathroom
* Living Room: Full-size Murphy bed
Both bedrooms have smart TVs with cable, roomy mirrored closets, and remodeled bathrooms. The second bedroom closet stores beach accessories, portable fans, portable heater, portable AC units (additional fee), iron, ironing board, and hangers.
For convenience, there’s a coin-operated washer and dryer across the hall and 1 reserved parking space in the gated garage. With everything within walking distance, you can leave your car parked and enjoy the amazing San Diego weather.
We are happy to chat before booking if you have questions—please message us with your inquiry.
Guest has access to communal hot tub and oceanfront patio with lounge chairs.

Only complaint is the front door entrance was very difficult to open after code was entered. Master bathroom door would not latch and bedroom door sticks. The ocean view from the patio was sensational watching the sunset. Property itself does not have an ocean view but is right on the boardwalk steps from the sand. No air conditioning and like so many other reviews the noise from two bars right next to it went on till 2:00 am and prevented us from opening windows at night. Would definitely stay here again. For senior citizens the process to book was a little difficult.

This property is not air conditioned. The listing is very misleading. We were charged an additional 500/week to add portable room air conditioners to the bedrooms and the living areas and bathrooms were not air conditioned.The condo and location are great otherwise, but we would not have rented a unit without A/C for a two week stay in August.

Family beach trip

The check in process was confusing because I didn’t receive an email with information until I requested it. However, when we did receive it, The email was very thorough and helpful.The location to the beach was nice and they had beach chairs, boogie boards. Beach toys and beach towels for us to use. We also appreciated the hot tub. Being able to park in a gated garage was more worth it than we thought. There is a bar across the street that gets noisy, but the hosts provide ear plugs if needed. We played white noise on our phone and it helped. This was the only negative thing I can think of.We were a family of 7 and used every bed.

Great location but expect lots of noise.

This location is amazing as it's basically right on the beach and within walking distance to essentially everything you need. It is extremely noisy at night as both windows face bars that are open until 2 A.M. plus the stragglers after they close. They do warn you about the noise and they are serious. My suggestion would be to pay the extra for the air conditioners to drown out the noise and so you don't have to open the windows. Parking is extremely convenient, and the communication is excellent. Even though it was extremely noisy to all hours of the night, I would stay again and try the air conditioners with the windows closed.

No AC, VERY VERY LOUD - horrible stay

The listing says it has AC but only if you pay extra for plug in units. Since this is an expensive place I was not going to pay extra for AC that they advertised! Thats a bate and switch and is probably illegal. This area is extremely loud- with 2 night clubs one on either side within FEET of our window and blasting music and bass until 1-2am. With no AC. you have to leave all the windows open and this makes the noise impossible to sleep. They also advertise a hot tub which looked like no one had been near it for 10 years - wouldn't set foot in it. False advertising and horrible stay. Families should NOT stay here. The building is run down and not very clean. The condo itself was fine but not worth the money we paid. I would not recommend this place. We could not sleep and that affected the entire trip. VRBO should not work with Nancy's vacation - they lied on the listing.

In the center of everything

See the Sea was a fantastic place. Right on the beach with amazing views and right in the center of all the SD fun. Everything you need is within walking distance. The place was clean and very spacious. Lots of beach toys for every age. The only potential issue that is beyond the capacity of the owners to take care of is because the location is in the heart of it all, it is loud, especially at night. For us it wasn't an issue. We kept the windows closed and the fans on and slept like babies. But for kids or actual babies, the noise might be a bit much. It is very manageable and worth it to be right in the center of it all. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone wanting the full San Diego experience!

Could not have been better

Our family stayed at the condo for a week. We have a 3 year old and he had the best time. Lots of sand toys, beach chairs, and boogie boards. The condo had plenty of fans the we were able to move around to wherever they were needed. In the cupboards were spices and seasonings. A ton of kids plates, bowls, cups, and utensils. Really all we need to bring was food and sunscreen. The location was just right. Ralphs, CVS, and food was very close. TV's in each room with more than enough to watch and relax after a long day at the beach. We would recommend this condo for families. Parking garage was very convenient for parking and the building was secure and safe.

Good and not so good

Location was great. Communication was rough. Slow to respond and usually required more then one attempt or form (i.e two phone calls or a phone call and email) to get a hold of them. Once we booked we received a number of emails (7-8 which were confusing and not super clear) told us our booking was not confirmed until we did a few verification things. I completed these, but still never received a confirmation after that stating it was confirmed and booked. Had to call a few times to confirm. They are not helpful providing property specific information. Company with lots of properties, they don’t have confirmed details or specifics about the property. Broad answers to questions. For example, I asked if there were sand toys as they mention beach supplies. I was told no, so we purchased some on our way there, turns out there was a ton, which was great, but would have been nice to know, to save us the time and money. We were told there was a grill on the porch so some of the meals were planned had to be adjusted since there was not one there.

Great Condo, LOUD location

Overall, the property was clean, and as pictured. There was no BBQ grill on the balcony, but other than that, it was as described. Bogie boards and beach chairs were available to use, which was great. Location is steps from the beach--so that part was great! The one thing that I was not expecting was THE NOISE. This is a corner unit on a VERY BUSY CORNER. There was live music until 2 am on one side of the condo, and a busy bar/restaurant on the other side. So it was noisy until after 2 am each day, along with a chorus of emergency vehicle sirens that we heard at least once an hour all during the weekend hours. . Closing the windows helped, but the Condo was HOT. It was nice and cool and breezy outdoors, but in order to enjoy that, you had to put up with the noise. So, it was a trade off! Either hot and quiet, or loud and cool/breezy. Either way, it resulted in sleepless nights. Friday and Saturday nights were the worst, as you might expect, Sunday and Monday nights were quieter. If you have kids that are sensitive to noise--this is not the condo for you. If you want to enjoy the local bars and restaurants until the wee hours, it would be awesome for that!

Worst Property Ever

First, we only stayed in this property 1 day due to water leakage that was flooding the lobby floor from the property rented. Both showers were leaking to the lobby floor. The kitchen table leg was broke, missing screws. The chairs were zipped tied together. There was a huge whole in the ceiling in lobby and directly above was the property we rented. The property management did not inform us of the shower situation prior to arrival, but had knowledge of it. The maintenance man stated that no inspector had come out prior to our arrival to ensure the property was even safe to stay in. The door opener to get in the garage did not work and we were instructed to use the shopping chart from the inside of the garage to set the sensor off, to open garage door. For this being a first time in San Diego for some of our party, this was by far one of the worst experiences.
