The Shark - Pacific Beach

Enjoy a coastal vacation or just a quick getaway to the beach to this San Diego vacation rental!  This is the perfect beach property for any small family or group of friends who want to hang out by the beach!

This property is just a few steps away from the beach!! This two-bedroom Pacific Beach vacation rental condo is just one house away from Law St. beach. The beach has bathrooms and lifeguards on duty during the summer. You can even take surf lessons right outside your door. This property is also at the beginning of the boardwalk that goes along the coat for 3 miles down to the end of Mission Beach. Along the boardwalk you will find some shopping, restaurants, including the Wave House where you can watch people try to surf the artificial wave. Better yet, you can try it yourself. Also on the boardwalk, is Belmont Park, where there is the wooden rollercoaster and so much more entertainment for you to check out.  Downtown San Diego is just 20 minutes away, and SeaWorld San Diego is just 4 miles away!! If you want to do some whale-watching, and shopping, or just explore the diverse neighborhoods of La Jolla, just head north 2 miles.

The warm and beach-themed decor will surely make you feel right at home when you enter this Shark Beach Walk getaway. With a front-facing window that looks out at the patio and glass-top table outside, the living room is sunny and inviting. There's a leather couch and chair for relaxing, a flatscreen TV where you can stream your favorite show, and two tall stools that face the kitchen bar. 

This condo is small but has everything you'll need during your vacation with the full kitchen which has gorgeous marble countertops, a high table where you can eat a refreshing breakfast before you hit the beach for the day.

At night, the master bedroom's brightly covered queen-size bed is a perfect oasis, and you'll have full length mirrors covering the closet doors, and plenty of space to spread out and unpack. The other bedroom has two twin-size beds perfect for the kids or a couple of good friends to catch some shut-eye. There's one bathroom with a shower/tub combo that everyone can use to get the salt out of their hair after a day at the beach. With Wi-Fi, a gas grill in the front shared-space patio, and beach equipment available for your enjoyment, this home is ideal for any phase of your beach vacation. 

With the incredible Pacific Ocean at your feet, there's tons of options to choose from as far as swimming, surfing, sailing, or anything water-related goes. Mission Bay and Mission Beach are only a few minutes' drive or bike ride, and Pacific Beach is only a few quick walk away. 

All the incredible shopping, restaurants and fun nightlife of downtown San Diego are within a 20 minute drive, and the tourist-favorite Midway area and Columbia waterfront are about the same distance. SeaWorld San Diego is within biking distance, as well as La Jolla and many other parks! San Diego has tons of interesting neighborhoods and picturesque views, and they are all accessible from this conveniently located spot!

Great Location Only

It worked for us for our short stay- 4 nights only. I was ready to leave-liked having a garage, security was okay, maybe because it was used a lot during the summer kitchen dishes, pans were very basic. okay barbeque to use, but no tools. Very small bath even for two, and old fixtures. Clean, but basic furnishings, bed was not comfortable for us. Only one night stand was not sufficient, bar stools with missing screws- coming apart, and a kitchen table / chairs cramped in kitchen. window coverings need replaced, carpeting in bedrooms needed cleaning. May have been end of season impact?, we will look for another location next time. Too much wear & tear, this property needs updates.

Beach access and comfy beds with everything you need for a beach stay!

Even though it was hot without AC, I was aware. San Diego doesn’t have a ton of really hot days at the beach but you’re so close to the beach, it’s not an issue. Has everything you need - the comfiest beds you will stay in at a short terms rental and everything was clean and ready. The o ly thing I thought was odd was that the property asked me if I was leaving early. Check out was early and I wasn’t forced out, but I felt like it was odd to be asked if I were leaving before my time.

Best Experience

This little house was exactly as advertised! We were a 2 minute walk to the law st beach access. We went to the zoo, sea world and Lego land and felt that everything was reasonably close. Be careful parking your vehicle in the garage. It can be a tight turn. There is no air conditioning but there was always a light breeze off the water so we just had windows open and fans on for a cross breeze. We felt safe in the neighborhood, and during the week it was very quiet and low-key. It definitely picked up for the weekend. We will 100% be coming back again next year!
