Views and beach access were amazing. Check in communication and payment was a bit confusing as it was not through VRBO. The checkout check list seemed to be too lengthy. Pool and hot tub are not on the property it was located 1/2 a block away, but was nice and quiet. But as far as location, security, and access to the beach and restaurants it was great.

Awesome property

We have stayed at Capri by the Sea many times but this place blew us away with its location and how up to date and beautiful it was. We especially liked our master bedroom in which the one wall was all glass with a sliding door that opened up to a sitting area with 2 easy chairs where we could sit and watch the ocean and listen to the waves and smell the sea air. It was pure joy! Can hardly wait to come back again.

Cool breeze in Pacific Beach

Overall our stay was excellent. However there were a couple of suggestion we would have For future renters. The king bed in master is probably ready for replacement. It is very noisey and creaked every time we moved on it. I would also recommend directions on the operation of the remote control's. We are very tech savvy but 2 remotes and 3 channel boxes can be confusing. The screen door track rollers need replacing. They kept jumping off the tracks. We will definitely be repeat renters at this property. For a 7 day stay the number of towels seemed a little light we had 4 adults and 2 children for a total of 6 towels. And lastly a laundry string for bathroom to dry suits and beach towels. Again, fantastic location, well equipped with kitchen utensils and excellent onbience.

Beautiful home base for San Diego vacation

We just spent five nights here and LOVED it! We wanted someplace to relax while we explored San Diego and mentally prepared to head to Disney afterwards - this was the perfect spot. The view cannot be beat - perfect sunsets and views of surfers in the waves all day. Several restaurants in walking distance and an easy drive to the San Diego sights. Extra bonuses: stocked with soap/towels/shampoo/etc, parking in the building's garage, heated pool, easy access to AND supplies for the beach (where the kids swam at even at 59 degrees!). This was a really well-stocked, nicely decorated, and wonderfully located spot and we loved our stay. I wish we had spent more time just lounging and taking in the view; it was hard to leave. Only drawback was the laundry - down the hall, needed quarters to operate, had to wait for other people to be done, and the dryer didn't work so great so we spent the last night with clothes hanging all over the apartment. Other than that, loved it.

Great Vacation and Great Location

The Blue Grotto was an amazing place to stay! The views were incredible. We were able to catch amazing sunsets and sunrises and stare at the beautiful ocean. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, right off the beach and quick walking access on the boardwalk to stores and restaurants. The condo was very clean and had plenty of towels. The only downsides (which were minimal) was the pool was pretty cold and the washing machines only take quarters but there were no change machines. We had to go to local stores to try and get change. Other than those issues it was perfect! We would stay here again!
