A good condo with a great location in pacific beach. Many restaurants are within walking distance and the boardwalk is very close, too! The host was very nice and responsive. Note that there is no AC and the property is a little bit on the older side. Consider bringing small extension cords as outlets are hard to reach in the room with the queen bed. Also, if you expect to need to do laundry, consider bringing your own detergent as there isn’t any provided.

We wanted a place within walking distance to the beach and were not disappointed! The apartment met all of our other needs as well - lots of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, parking (garage is small but there is space to park in front of the garage), and quiet. Just a note: Apple maps took us to the other side of Mission Blvd.; Google maps got us to where we needed to be.

Ideal Location for a Beach Vacation

This property was clean and comfortable for a family of five. Best of all, it's about a 3 minute walk to a very nice beach, which made spending plenty of time relaxing by the ocean so easy, especially with younger children. We would definitely stay again.

Loved the location!!

I stayed here with my two kids and really enjoyed it. Our unit had a view of the beach/sunsets which was awesome. The apartment was nicely decorated and had pretty much everything we needed. The only downside was an electrical issue that was being fixed when we left. We would definitely stay here again.

Great little place by the beach

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect size for our family of 5 and just down the street from a great beach. The kids had surf lessons just one block over on Law St. The beds are really comfortable and even the sofa bed worked well for us. The barbecue was in great shape and we used it almost every day. Parking was not too much of a problem even during 4th of July week. Would definitely stay again.
