Heart of PB steps to beach plus garage parking

Crystal’s See the Sea Condo | 2BR/2BA by Crystal Pier, Boardwalk, Hot Tub & Parking



Welcome to Crystal’s See the Sea Condo, a beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo located directly on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach, just steps from the iconic Crystal Pier. Remodeled in late 2022, this home features refreshed bathrooms, updated kitchen appliances, and new living room furnishings for a comfortable and modern beach stay.



If you want to be a part of all the action in PB, then this is the place to be! This condo is located in the See the Sea oceanfront complex, so nothing separates you from the beach except the boardwalk and soft white sand—putting the ocean, surf, and coastal energy right outside your door.



Located in the heart of Pacific Beach, you’ll be surrounded by restaurants, cafés, shops, and nonstop beach activity. The private balcony (corner view, not directly oceanfront) offers a lively outlook over the boardwalk and ocean—perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks with built-in entertainment. If you enjoy people watching, then look no further!



>>Please note: This condo is located in a very active area with nearby bars and restaurants, so some nighttime noise should be expected. To help minimize this, the condo is equipped with double-paned windows and doors. On warmer nights, we recommend renting a portable A/C unit to keep the space cool while keeping windows closed; portable fans are also available in the closets for added comfort. We additionally provide white noise machines and earplugs. Due to the potential for nighttime noise, this property may not be ideal for families with young children or light sleepers. Opening the doors and windows allows for a wonderful sea breeze, but noise levels will be noticeably higher when they are open. We encourage guests to review prior guest feedback and reach out with any questions to ensure this property is a good fit for your group.



This first-floor condo sits above the gated parking garage and is accessible by elevator. Inside, the open California-style kitchen includes new appliances, a breakfast bar with seating for four, and flows into the dining and living areas. The dining table seats 4–6 guests and can be moved to allow the Murphy bed to open for additional sleeping space.



Sleeping Arrangements

• Primary Bedroom: King bed with private ensuite bathroom

• Guest Bedroom: Double bed with pull-out single trundle and private ensuite bathroom

• Living Room: Full-size Murphy bed

• Both bedrooms feature smart TVs with cable, mirrored closets, and remodeled bathrooms.

• Beach gear, portable fans, a heater, iron, and optional portable A/C units (additional fee) are conveniently stored in the guest bedroom closet.



Community Amenities

• Corner oceanview patio with seating

• Community hot tub and separate lounge area with chairs to soak up the sun and expansive beachfront views

• Gated garage with 1 reserved parking space

• Coin-operated washer & dryer just across the hall



Why You’ll Love This Location

Walk everywhere—bike the 3.5-mile boardwalk, fish off Crystal Pier, or grab breakfast at Kono’s Café just across the street. With everything within steps, you can park once and fully enjoy San Diego’s beach lifestyle.

The propriety was in a great spot couldn’t be more happy but our room faced a bar that closed at 2 am might keep that in mind next time to ask for a different one having to open windows due to no ac that made it difficult to sleep. We had to rent ac units to make the stay more comfortable The host was very helpful and quick to respond to our inquiries. Location it’s wonderful ,right on the beach which made it easy to enjoy our vacation and walking distance to grocery or shopping stores

Great location, good accommodations

The location is great. Right by the pier on PB. The room was on the back side of the complex, so didn't quite have the view from the room that were implied. The patio area is amazing though with an unimpeded view of everything.

Perfect Location on Pacific Beach

This condo is located right on Pacific Beach, our particular condo unit, was convenient to the elevator and off by itself. Perfect location for breakfast, lunch and dinner spots with lots of variety. Get your walking shoes, skates or sandals on, lots of miles to walk down the beach, boardwalk or street shopping. Easy walk to Mission Beach. Can't wait to stay again, we LOVED it!

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.

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.
