Villa Blanca is a beautifully restored, six unit, vacation rental apartment complex in a safe, tranquil, garden like setting steps to the beach and boardwalk.

You can hear the waves and smell the surf! This spacious, first floor apartment is charming with bright . The large galley kitchen is fully equipped for making a gourmet meal or simply packing a picnic lunch for the beach. The grounds of the building contain a barbeque area, outdoor shower, beach toys and boogie boards and bike racks. This upscale family friendly neighborhood is a minute walk to every restaurant cuisine you could imagine plus shopping, grocery stores, bars and all the board walk activities. Freeway access is near by and there is a local bus stop at the corner of Misson Blvd.

My daughter and I loved this place! Quick access to the beach was our favorite part! Lots close shops and great restaurants that you can access by walking on the scenic boardwalk! The apartment offered beach chairs and beach toys that we enjoyed using! Apartment was clean and well taken care of!
Loved this apartment - it was well equipped and had what you needed. It was just a few 100 feet from the ocean walkway and close to lots of restaurants but it was quiet on the street. Nothing fancy and well worth it!
Great location! Lots to eat and do in the area. FYI, since it is within 1/2 block of the beach parking is difficult during the day and there isnt designated parking.
Lovely little apartment less than a block from the beach. Basic but has everything needed and couldn't ask for a better location. Very helpful and communicative host.
You cannot get a better location. Just steps from the beach, and perfectly set back in a quiet small condo community. The host was always quick to respond and helpful with anything needed.
The unit is quaint, clean and has all necessary amenities.Street parking was also easy to come by.
You can’t beat being so close to the beach! A spot if you’re looking to be close to some bars etc (we weren’t hence only 4 stars for that).
Communication with the host and property manager were prompt and helpful!
The place is smaller then it looks in the photos! The queen bed in the bedroom makes a noise everytime you roll over. Garbage disposal did not work. The windows were very hard to open, no vacuum so you couldn't vacuum up the sand and debris. It was clean. It was extremely noisy with all the other condos right next to one another. The biggest disappointment was the no assigned parking.

The location was one block from the beach and a great location. There was only street parking for the one bedroom units which wasn’t usually a problem. The recycle bin had a rusted lock which was difficult to use and should be replaced. The toaster provided was rusted and dirty, I bought a new one myself.The manager had purchased a replacement and said she would reimburse me for the one I bought but she never did. The VRBO description said there was coin operated laundry available but there are no laundry facilities for the guests. Bed pillows were poor quality and lumpy so we bought our own.
Put families with young children on the 1st floor. It got really noisy with them running around above us.Can use some paint on the walls and new windows.It is an excellent location!
My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at this cozy apartment. It is just as described, and literally a block from the ocean, and within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Quiet and friendly neighborhood and would definitely stay here again.
We have stayed always upstairs but this time we tried downstairs and it worked out perfect. Love these apartments. So close to the beach and shops. Very clean with beautiful landscaping. The only thing was there was no gas to BQ so that bummed us out. Nice to be able to walk to everything. Highly recommend.
I was in San Diego for a short stay and loved the location of this property. You are steps away from Pacific Beach. There are tons of restaurants, shops, and bars within walking distance. The property management were super responsive and extremely helpful! I 100% would stay here again!
Great area, very clean, but run a little bit in the years.

Just okay. A bit rundown, the bed was very soft and uncomfortable. Neighbors let their dogs run about off leash and made some noise. On the plus side:it is close to the beach and parking was not as bad as expected.I wouldn’t go again.
Unit was exactly as described, clean and in a great location. Just a half block to the ocean and very close to all shops and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed here our entire stay.
Had an amazing time and the apartment was just what was listed. We had everything we needed parked the car and didn’t move it for 5days. Thank you Pam and Meg for a wonderful trip.
Check in was quick and easy. Property was nice. Walking distance to all the bars and beach areas. The apartment was perfect for my wife and I.
The only issue was parking. There were alot of campers on the street, they took up all the parking.
