We've been to San Diego many times and this was probably one of the best places we've been to. The host always responded quickly if we had any questions. The place really is just a minute walk up to the beach. The grocery store is a couple minute driving and there are many bars and restaurants walking distance. There are a couple laundromats not too far but didn't end up using them. There were plenty of basics such as towels, bedding and kitchen essentials. The extras that we loved were some chairs, umbrella and boogie boards for the beach. Parking was a little tight with our SUV but we made it work. Overall, just really loved the atmosphere of the place inside and out. Plenty of room for my husband and I and our two teenagers. Hope to stay there again on a future visit!

It was a great place to stay and a fun area to visit. So close to the beach and rarely used our car. The parking was helpful though to have. We would stay again for sure!!

All in all a good experience. Place is a one bedroom with living room sleeper sofa. Very nice for two people and small children. Beach is steps away and prop manager was attentive.

This location is fantastic! House was as expected and the property manager is a great communicator. Five stars!

Nice place, had what we needed. Could use a little freshening up. At checkout we provided a list of items that need attention . Many vrbo properties have a “guest book” that includes suggestions for restaurants in the area/ activities. It’s also nice to have this available for guests to make comments on what they enjoyed doing in the area, so not as much research required to figure out what to do. Parking very tight, but doable. Would have been very challenging to find on street parking.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was a perfect size for our mom/daughter weekend getaway. The property manager was great. Emailed to make sure we made it there, responding quickly. Location is close to beach. Definitely would stay again.

We had a great time at this place. Very nice spot with great access to the beach and the nearby areas. The place is perfect for 2-3 people that want a nice get away. Would definitely come again.

We were happy with our stay. We had a real good time in San Diego!! The weather was not as warm as we wanted but you have no control of that. If we come back we’ll pick April and possibly Ben Blue Bungalow!!

It was close to the water and many local food/drink options in walking distance. We enjoyed walking the board walk ever day. The property manager was very responsive and helpful.

Communication was great! So close to the beach and bay! We walked everywhere! Great 4 day getaway!

Great location with great communication with the host. TV stopped working on the day we got in and the host quickly provided a new one. Parking is a + and the property is in a great location! Thank you for letting us stay at your place!! We will be back!

This was a really nice place and close to the beach and the restaurants. My family really enjoyed the place and all that the location had to offer.

The location was great. The online pictures did not match what it actually looked like. The place was a bit outdated, and for the money spent it could have been cleaned a lot better. Also there was a ton of little ants , in the bathroom and the kitchen ,some bug spray would help probably take care of that.

Fabulous location right near the beach. Aaron was extremely communicative and responsive the entire stay.

We had trouble getting in because the passcode didn’t work so I had to call the property manager. The nice one bedroom apartment is clean and well furnished. The screen door handle is about to fall off as well as the screen is torn away from the frame. We were woken at 4:30 am by four people moving about upstairs and then we saw them leave around 6am. We couldn’t sleep but that was the only night I slept there. My friend from London had two more nights that she was able to sleep with no one above to wake her.

A great deal for an amazing location, less than 100 steps to the ocean walk! Amazing communication with management company. The unit could use a little TLC, but overall comfy and had everything we needed!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check in and check out processes were flawless. Property clean and ready to go. A few minor paint touchups are needed, but overall property was in good condition.

With a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of beach equipment this attractive and well laid-out rental provided all we needed for our three-day beach getaway. The location, a minute's walk from Mission Beach and a few minutes from the Bay, is great, and a parking space is even provided, though maneuvering into it was tricky for our Rav4. We have cable at home, so the Roku TV took a little study for us. Overall we were well pleased and would happily stay here again!

We were visiting our son for family weekend and this property was the perfect place to stay. It was close to the beach (actually only 86 steps!) and many restaurants, super clean and the host was extremely communicative from the minute we booked. We would absolutely book this property again.

Although our first time in this location, not our first time at a "beach house". We will definitely be returning to any location that this firm is associated with. The room was as described, perfect for the two of us. It was very clean on arrival and hope we left it as we found it. While not important to most, on a rainy Wednesday night we were able to download the ESPN app for the Roku TV and watch our niece at her collegiate soccer game. Kitchen is well enough equipped. BBQ was great. The "beach equipment" included Tommy Bahama chairs, which are the best and were well used. We will be returning, we hope on an annual basis. Location of this unit is exceptional. One small word of warning, watch your toes around the bed. It's a toe grabber. Now for the beach community experience. While up to the last two days of our week here were great, a group of about 5 families occupied one of the units close by. They had no problem letting children stay up past midnight making noise as well as the parents up till after 2AM doing the same. Can't choose your neighbors.

This was a great little place very close to the beach and the bay. Lots of restaurants and shops. We loved it.

Check in and communication was easy and smooth. Place was clean and quiet. Definitely recommend this stay if visiting the PB area. Thanks again

My significant other and I had the most fabulous time during our stay! Perfect location, less than 100 steps to the beach and right in the middle of everything else you would want to see in San Diego. If we go back to this area we will definitely be staying here again!

We had an absolutely wonderful 5 night stay in this awesome bungalow! We have rented many places on this beach over the years (26) and this was by far our favorite. Yes it is a bit older (we love the relaxed charm) however it was clean, cozy, and accessible to everything! We enjoyed using the grill several nights and overall relaxing in our private bungalow. We really appreciated the "extra" touches such as: plenty of towels, nice beach items for use, keyless entry, fans, coffee pot, toaster and plenty of cooking utensils. They aren't stingy with essentials as some rentals have been, such as plenty of paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, toilet paper, spices and garbage bags. We can't wait to book again!

Great location to surf and play in the beach. Communication with property management was great.

Everything went very well

There was not actually an A/C unit. There was a portable A/C unit, which did cool off the main area of the home, but not the bedroom. Also - there was a bad fly problem. I can understand how this could happen with the trash cans being right through the alley, but there was some gross paper towels by the grill and a terrible smell by the edge of the house. I feel like the exterior upkeep had been neglected. With there just being an A/C unit in the house, the vent goes out a window, which means that window stays open about 6” at all times - not great considering the fly situation.

So my S/O & I booked this place after reading multiple reviews and proximity to the beach. Communication with host was a breeze as was finding the bungalow. The place is pretty much as advertised, small, quaint and perfect for the two of us. It was nothing fancy as these beach bungalows are a little on the older side but it lent itself to the charm. She and I enjoyed strolls on the beach every morning and evening. The location was pretty good as it’s close to everything; grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants etc. Bungalow also had plenty of beach supplies too such as chairs, umbrellas and boogey boards (we brought our own). **A note regarding parking** for those of you reading this review, unless you have exceptional parking skills (I do…former delivery driver lol) I do NOT recommend driving anything bigger than a small SUV or crossover as the parking spot is tiny and alley way is very narrow. There are a few things that could be improved on to make stays more pleasant for future renters: 1st was the screen on the security door was torn and we were not able to use it as in leaving door open to enjoy outside weather as flies would constantly get into bungalow. 2nd: The kitchen could use a little updating as in a new toaster that actually works & some more kitchen supplies; maybe one or two extra pans, cutlery and basic kitchen staples…a spice here or there. On our 2nd or 3rd night, a group of young adults came walking in from public sidewalk, came into our courtyard and helped themselves to relaxing on our patio and using outdoor shower. They busted the latch to the little wooden gate to courtyard in the process. It was a little off putting as I know they were not staying on the property. All of this though would not deter us from staying here again. The week we spent here was relaxing and a much needed break for the both of us. Pablo & Melissa.

Excellent place to stay in San Diego

Overall, our stay was okay. Location was prime and the host was very communicative. It was good to have parking - warning, the spot is very very tight and I say that as a Chicago driver with ample parking experience. We had a tiny Mitsubishi Mirage so keep that in mind if you have a larger vehicle. The pullout couch could fit two small kids but definitely not two adults. We had 3 adults and it was really a tight fit in the space. All of that said - we did have a very nice time and again, can’t get much better with the location so close to the beach.
