Great property, location and access to the beach. The master bathroom shower did not work and the second bathroom shower curtain needed to be weighed as it flew around the whole time.
For the most part, we really enjoyed our stay. The house is great for a family or group of friends. The location was central to everything we wanted to do, we were within walking distance of the beach, and the yard on the downstairs units was great for hanging out. The unit also came with beach toys for our use.
The biggest drawback was that we could not get ahold of the property manager. She sent me messages about the check in process but when I reached back out with question about check in and parking, we never heard back from her. The handle in the master bath was also broken but I wasn’t able to report it to her since she didn’t respond to any of my other messages.
Still overall mostly pleasant experience though.
The place was very clean, plenty of beach towels and good beds. Our son and his friend loved the proximity to the beach and we appreciated the nearby stores, bars and restaurants with ocean views. The backyard was great for BBQing and watching the surf. The dog beach was very fun to watch and close by. We will recommend this place to others.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was very clean and the staff very friendly and responsive. Great location and lots to do within walking distance.

Great stay
Great location. Close to anything you would want to do in San Diego. Condo was clean and nicely decorated. Would highly recommend staying here.
The property itself was great. Unfortunately you do wake up to homeless people camping out on the sidewalks or on the grass close to the beach. They were not a bother at all, but it was sad to see.
A beautiful home, clean great location, beach across the street, and very nice front yard with table
Wonderful and relaxing
