We rented this house for my 50th birthday girls trip. The house was perfect for our group. Loved the open kitchen to the outside. The kitchen was perfect as we cooked a few meals there (definitely check out Nico’s Fish Market in Pacific Beach). Our rooms were comfortable and the beds and towels were nice. The upstairs balcony was perfect for a late afternoon nap to hear the ocean. Couple of minor issues but Austin was helpful. I will say that the 10 pm curfew was certainly not honored by neighbors and please keep in mind you are really close to the roller coaster which brings noise as well. Also the trash trucks come very early each morning right outside the house. The only other issue I would bring up is the beach chairs are super cheap, if you aren’t flying bring your own. Overall, it was a great trip and the memories made were priceless.

Austin was quick to respond to any questions

Great location - excellent house and hosts!

Location is right off the beach and right in mission beach! So that is a plus. A couple draw backs for my family is pulling down the secluded trash alley to even get to the unit to then if the other side is rented out it’s no easy take maneuvering in and out even with a smaller vehicle. That was one thing that frustrating is it’s not mentioned about needing a smaller vehicle for the carport until after you already rent and only by Vrbo notification with check in details 48 hours before. In which I had already booked the vehicle for my family. We didn’t use the hot tub, one factor was it was dirty to then time. Unit itself, owner did great at providing basic amenities other than towels. We had a party of 6 and that’s the exact amount of towels we had for showering. No one wants to go in a vacation and do laundry several times a day to have clean necessities. The unit is nice however is in need of a deep cleaning and some air fresheners. I know it’s a beach house but it smelled of water or sewer. Gnats were flying everywhere upon arrival which I assume has to do with the plumbing and sitting water in the lines. Owner seemed nice. With some tweaks and deep cleaning I may consider renting again even with the New York alley way.
