The check-in process was easy, the house was sparkling clean and welcoming, the outdoor space was lovely, all in all we could not have asked for more.

A slight hiccup checking in, but Rowena was quick to respond and always available during our stay whenever we had questions. The property was clean and well-appointed and near the northern end of Pacific Beach which was clean and relatively quiet during our stay. Though it was windy and the water too cold for us to take advantage, there were boogie boards and plenty of beach gear for use, as well as bikes for cruising. We highly recommend this place. ##### John B. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine G. 24 Jun 2018 #### Lovely place to stay! We loved our stay! Perfect location for all of us to walk to the beach and restaurants, we didn't have to drive and park very much. The house was very relaxing with plenty of space to relax inside and out. We cooked there and there was plenty of amenities to do all that too. The cottage was clean and well stocked with everything you have at home! And we could call our owner for anything else we needed.

My husband and I and our two year old son stayed here for five weeks while transferring from Hawaii to San Diego. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful place to land. The house is clean, comfortable and well appointed; we had everything we needed to feel at home. The location is fabulous, quiet but close to the beach with lovely outdoor areas to relax in and a grassy area where our son enjoyed playing. Rowena is just lovely; easy to work with, very gracious and welcoming. I will definately recommend this rental to family and friends visiting the area. Thank you so very much. Aloha. ##### Nicole S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiana Y. 21 Oct 2018 #### Perfect spot for our family of four. Rowena was an amazing host - very accommodating and reachable. The house was just the right size for our family. It was secure, safe and kid friendly. The beach accessories and supplies were helpful as we forgot a few things at home. Having two small children we felt comfortable in the house knowing our kids wouldn’t destroy the floor with their messes and of course sand. The location is great too - walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Just watch out - there are some bad drivers!!! At any rate, we loved our stay and are grateful we called this house our home for 8 days. ##### Tiana Y.

It’s walking distance to the beach and a ton of coffee shops and restaurants. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need and we were surprised how quiet it was at night. With a teen and a toddler it can be hard to accommodate both their needs but this house managed to do just that. Since we have a toddler we spent many evenings having dinner on the patio and spending quality time together in the cozy living room. We were able to walk down and see the sunset and even got a few evening bike rides in. Would also recommend checking out La Jolla and you’re only a few hours from LA. Rowena was THE nicest host and checked in during our stay to make sure check in went smoothly and if there was anything we needed. 10/10 recommend! ##### Ben Q.

Rowena could not have been more gracious, a pleasure. We have never rented a house before, we usually stay at hotels and resorts. But my two sons (14 and 12) loved it! They played Wii, took out the bikes, and tried to relax and watch TV when we weren't hitting every tourist attraction in the area. The house is small, but well appointed and the beds are delightful. The location was perfect for us, a quiet street, a 5 minute walk to the beach and to Garnet and no more than 15 or 20 minutes from everywhere we wanted to me (except for Disneyland). Enjoy it...we did. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina B. 22 Apr 2014 #### We Loved It!! We stayed in this house last July and re-booked again for July 2014! This was a great house in a wonderful location. It is close to the beach and many, many shops and restaurants. Our family had a fantastic time taking walks, hanging out on the beach, shopping, eating, playing board games and just taking in the beauty of Pacific Beach. The house was fully equipped with everything we could want. I have rented other homes in the past that have minimal supplies available, but this place was fully stocked, which we really appreciated. The owners were wonderful to work with. The home exudes the warmth of the owners and you can picture many happy family reunions taking place here over the years. Our children never wanted to leave! We can wait to come back in July. ##### Tina B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda R. 21 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay in PB Rowena's place was wonderful and I would stay there again. Rowena was very responsive to questions and small problems that came up. A microwave malfunctioned and she brought a replacement in almost immediately. She also made sure 4 bikes were in working order when I inquired. We really enjoyed being able to bike around the area. My son was also able to find a wetsuit and surfboard to fit him! We found everything we needed. We loved using the yard and especially the fire pit. The website does need to be updated with some new information, but that is not a big deal. There was no longer a usable outside shower and no jetpack deal any more (which my son had been excited about doing). The pandemic has changed some things. The pictures probably need to be updated as there are changes to furnishings, but that is a minor issue. The place was clean and lovely and we really had a great time. Thank you for your hospitality! ##### Linda R.

I loved it! Myself, my son and daughter-in-law, and two children came to Rowena's beach house in June. My grandchildren are 5 months and 4 years old. We loved, loved, loved it! The house is so comfy and had everything we could possibly need and more. The beach cruisers got lots of use and there was even a tricycle for my granddaughter. She rode it in the back yard every day. Speaking of which, the property is so secure we could leave the back door open and my granddaughter just came and went without us having to worry if she would wander off too far. It's a bit of a trek to the beach, probably 8 blocks? but we didn't mind at all. We got our exercise in and the neighborhood and surroundings are beautiful. Speaking of neighborhood, we didn't hear a peep while we were there. It was so quiet at night which we wanted. We traded the close location to the beach in for a quieter place. I didn't need Rowena but once to find out the lock combination for the beach cruisers but when I texted her she was lightening fast to respond. She also left us some treats and personalized the experience with little gifts for my grandchildren. So thumbs all the way up for Rowena and her beach home...we can't wait to come back again! ##### Martha C.

This cute two bedroom bungalow that was perfect for my family. Rowena was very responsive and immediately resolved a small issue we had when checking in. Definitely an enjoyable vacation. ##### nicole s. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024
