Location Amazing

We have stayed here before. It's a perfect location and a nice place. The smell of the bakery below will make you want some and it very good. The inside is a little dated but the experience as a whole was great.

Great location! Short walk to the beach and several restaurants. 15-20 minute drive to the Zoo and 10 minute drive to Sea World. Property itself was great-we had plenty of room for 4 adults. Bikes were a nice extra feature.

Exactly as described

We had a great Thanksgiving stay. The place was exactly as described in the listing. Great location just steps from the beach and the morning smells from the bakery are amazing. Parking is very tight and would not work for a huge SUV or truck but is otherwise doable. Well equipped and very clean. Bikes are older but they worked great. We enjoyed the nice big table for our Thanksgiving meal. Great customer service and we would book again.

Family beach vacation

Came to San Diego to tour colleges with our kids wanted a fun spot by beach for some fun too. Communication with owners was good, check-in/out easy, nice to have off-street parking in garage but best to bring a small vehicle otherwise tough to get in/out of it in the little alley behind the unit. Beds were OK, place was kind of hot/muggy in July, fans helped, you can pay extra for an AC unit witch was locked when we were there. Plenty of space for 4 people. 2 minute walk to beach. Bikes and boogie boards were great. Loved, loved loved Olives Bakery downstairs from unit.

Excellent Location

This location was perfect for four gals from ND that have been best friends for 38 years! Beautiful beach, boardwalk, bars, restaurants and shops all within short walking distances. The property was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The beach chairs and boogie boards that were provided were such a HUGE asset! We all had an absolute blast out in the waves!! We all appreciated that we were working with a professional company. There were no surprises and the orientation guide was very informative. The personal phone calls were such a nice touch! I would definitely rent from Nancy's Vacation Rentals again! We have already recommended them to several friends!!

Location, location, location

Location was awesome. Beach on one side and the cove on the other. Bikes are useless. Unless you’re shots are up to day, I would not and did not touch those rusty things. Boogie board and chairs were awesome. Extra charge for air conditioning for a $400 plus per night place was ridiculous. $35 per day. Next time I will just add that to the nightly rate and find a spot with AC. Overall, there was plenty of room. 3.8 out of 5.

Perfect Getaway Right on the Beach

You are steps away from the beach, no roads to cross to get there. The condo was exactly as it was in the pictures so it was a relief to know I got what I paid for. Everything was clean and cozy. The bakery downstairs was so good too. Belmont park was only a 15 minute walk so the condo was in a perfect location to it. All of the codes given for the property worked without any problems. The only downside we encountered was the parking in the garage. We have a Honda van and we made it fit and it was difficult to maneuver in backwards but my husband got the job done and it was also great to know our van was safely tucked away so really no complaints because they do offer a fully covered garage. The neighbors had a car so it worked out ok for us. This condo made for a perfect retreat with plenty of bed space and seating for our family of 5. I would love to come back and rent from them again!! Also the communication from Nancy's Rentals was great. They called and sent emails to us ensuring we were doing well.

Perfect location, just steps from the surf and a block from the bay!

Our family enjoyed the location of this property. We appreciated the bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs etc that were available for our use. We also liked that we didn't have to carry around(and potentially lose) any keys as everything has pass codes. We would recommend this property to others.

Very nice apartment in a beautiful position

The apartment is nice, well kept with plenty of space, in a comfortable position right in the middle of Mission Bay. Few yards away from the beach. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is no central air conditioning in the PM it gets a little hot but after sundown the breeze from the see cools it down. Recommended for almost anybody. A good value for the money.

We had a wonderful family vacation here and are giving this property 5 stars because, for our priorities, it was exactly what we needed.The location is fantastic. Being just steps from Mission Beach made it easy to enjoy the beach without worrying about parking. The other highlight was the large, open living/dining area. The oversized table became the center of our vacation, where we gathered every evening to eat, play games, and spend time together.That said, future guests should know what they're booking. The condo is very dated and feels like it hasn't been updated in decades. The cabinets, finishes, and dΓ©cor are straight out of the '90s, so don't expect a modern or upscale rental.The garage is also extremely tight, and the alley is narrow. We drove a Ford Explorer and only fit because the neighboring renters had a smaller SUV. Larger vehicles could have a difficult or impossible time.Finally, the grill was disappointing. It's a very small electric grill outside the front door with no nearby outlet, so we had to run an extension cord from inside.Overall, we genuinely loved our stay because of the unbeatable location and the great family gathering space. If those are your priorities, you'll likely enjoy it too. Just come with realistic expectationsβ€”you're paying for the location, not updated finishes or luxury accommodations.

Sister Trip 2021

This condo had plenty of room for 4 adults. Everything we needed to make our meals was provided, except for coffee mugs. There were only 3 coffee cups so one of us had to either use a glass mason jar or wash one after someone was done with their coffee to use it. Other than that our stay was amazing, fun, and perfect! The smell of cinnamon rolls in the morning from the Olive Bakery is glorious and delicious. We would love to stay here again next time we head to Mission Beach.

Maintenance

We had to have plumbers come in and correct drain issues. We were not able to use sinks, shower for several hours I requested a 1 hour later check out and they let me know it would be $20 additional. In my opinion that was poor judgement and if anyone should be reimbursed for inconvenience it should be me. It was a nice place though.

Way too loud! Property is ok. Location is ok. Two loud parties in the building. Had to call police after trying to reason with tenant. Samething the next night. Called and spoke with rental company-they said all they could do is let other leasing agent aware of situation-which I totally understand but that obviously did not help me. First time doing a VRBO. Will not do one again. I will always do a hotel
