Great location, very close to the beach and amenities such as restaurants and groceries. Generally quiet with just a little street noise off Mission Blvd. Will definitely rental there again.

Cute apartment in a great location in Pacific Beach just a 2 minute walk to the beach and 5 minute walk to bars/restaurants. Love that they had beach chairs available to use too! Would definitely stay here again next time we go to San Diego. Thank you!

We loved it! It can get noisy with younger crowds nearby but that's really just how it is in the summer and in such a popular area with locals and tourists. Again, we loved it <3

Wonderful location, 1/2 block to beautiful beach, easy walk to restaurants, grocery, anything you need. Apartment is nice and well appointed, everything we needed and beach chairs a huge bonus! Great communication with host! Looking forward to our next stay.

Loved this place! Perfect location to the beach and very nice area. Plenty of places to eat and go out and a quick 15-20min drive into the city/downtown! Would definitely come back again!

Pacific Beach, like most of the So Cal shoreline is very, very densely packed with vacation stay options. The Villa Blanca on Chalcedony Street is one property in from the intersection with Mission Blvd. The parking on the street, while described as “unlimited” was largely taken by vans and small busses of beach goers that stayed parked for weeks at a time. The Villa is a building that harkens back to a former era of beach vacations. The property is fenced and grassy. The peeling stucco, broken blinds and holes in the screens reveal a budget approach to maintainence. There was a curious combination of clogged drains (addressed and re-clogged in a month) and a unique use of extension cords with multiple outlet surge protectors to power the fans, TVs and router to extend the small about of outlets in the bedroom and living room. The "welcome book" was markedly out of date. The woman who came to clean the empty units was very friendly and the contact to exchange linens. The walk to the ocean is less than 2 minutes while passing a number of other rental properties. The ability to hear the ocean occurrs between 2:30 am and 5:30 am when the heavy traffic, busses and sirens on Mission Blvd subsides. The residents were a mix of families with small children to partying youths to retirees. The occasional screaming and singing on Mission Blvd was generally kept to Thursday thru Sunday and ended by 3 am. The location north of the Crystal Pier was generally safer than the south side when daily fights and intoxicated problems were noted per Crimemapping.com. During our stay no cars were broken into on this street (perhaps due to the presence of the people sleeping in the vans) though that did occur both to the north on Law Street and on several streets to the south. The one homicide on the beach (September, 2022) remained under investigation at the time.

What a great location minutes to the beach! My dog was welcome here, which was so great. I rarely had to use my car to go anywhere. Extremely walkable. The bed was super comfy, and I loved that I had a peek a boo view of the ocean from my LR window. Very good restaurants nearby, and of course, the beach was amazing. I wished that I could’ve stayed longer. Thank you for a memorable stay!

This property REEKS of mildew and mold. The building has not been kept up and there are numerous dangerous electrical issues. Lights flicker. Outlets do not work. Lightbulbs burnt out. Sockets where the light bulb has gotten to hot and the socket is unusable. Fire alarms were broken or batteries missing and property manager did not replace batteries even after informed. Screens in windows were falling out, allowing bugs in and I did not feel safe enough to keep all windows open at night. Windows do not lock correctly. Hot water heater makes loud banging noises & sounds like an icemaker continually. Furniture was filthy and needs replaced. Towels and bedding were spotted and stinky. Bedroom closet smelled like dog. Bedding on bed smelled sour. Ceiling fan broken. Other fans did not work or were so rusty they were falling apart. Lamps in bedroom falling apart and did not work. Dishes and silverware filthy. I thought the moldy smell was going to make me ill. I woke up choking in the middle of the night. I couldn't wait to leave. To top it off, as soon as I booked, I emailed owner to ask if I could get an early check in and ask what type of hairdryer was provided in the unit. She responded that, "This is not the Four Seasons" and told me I should cancel my reservation. I was appalled at the unprofessional, disproportionate response & should have heeded this red flag. She is clearly a slumlord. Stay far away from Seahawk Vacations and Villa Blanca. Greed & filth abounds.

This apartment is in the perfect location- a two minute walk from the beach. The one drawback for me was that this particular beach wouldn’t allow dogs between 9 am and 6 pm, so I had to drive her to Ocean Beach during the day. The apartment had everything we needed. We didn’t spend much time in there. Bed, shower, appliances, dishes, and even a complimentary bottle of wine; can’t ask for more than that.

We had a great stay! You cannot beat the location and all of the neighbors were really nice. We walked everywhere we needed to go which was nice and suprisingly, parking was easy to find. Lots of surfers coming in and out so we got lucky every time. I’m not sure I’d stay here again with an infant because of some minor hazards (stairs/cords) and noise at night but the noise was only a thing on weekend nights. Would definitely come back with friends or my husband. Property manager was super nice and super hospitable.

This property is a great location for the beach, for restaurants and shopping! The apartment was spotless, the manager (Mega) is awesome and housekeeper couldn't be nicer. Kitchen had pans, dishes and nice coffee pot for use. Quiet area. The bed was very comfortable ( the sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable and a bit dated)Would definitely stay here again and/or recommend to others.

Perfect location * cozy stay *
The house was as expected everything was easy to find and easy check in. Location was perfect! Bed was comfy! We would definitely return. One suggestion would be upgraded windows one came off the track when opening it. We didn't mind at all but I could see how it could be a complaint for some picky people. We were very happy with our stay and made tons of wonderful memories. Wish we would have had more time. Thank you for having us!

Great location
Great location but parking on the street was ok until you want to unload or load your car. We were there during a unusually warm week so the fans (that were included) were needed. Small area for 4 people to stay. We like to cook and bake but the oven over heated the kitchen so that you could not cook or prep because the heat did not dissipate - miserable.

Great location!
Just a half block to the beach and boardwalk, and just off a main street with shops and restaurants, this place is still nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Sitting on the front deck, you can watch the sun set. The apartment itself is clean and homey though not brand new. The staff was friendly and very easy to communicate with, and we got in easily. Would definitely go back!

Great Location and Very Clean
We arrived late after landing in LAX. Property manager had started making contact with us about a week before our stay to make sure the time we would be arriving so she could meet us and let us in and give us the keys. She kept contact with us through out the day as we traveled , as it turned out we arrived later than expected and she had the condo open when we arrived and lights on and left the key where we could get it. Place was very clean and the location to the beach was only about a 2 minute walkaway and the beach is great at this location. We also had cooler, chairs, umbrella and water toys at our access. You can walk to many restraurants and stores. A short drive also to numerous other restaurants and stores. Downtown San Diego not a far drive either and plenty to do there. The only drawback and it is fairly minor, is the street parking that you need to use for this condo. It usually loosens up in the morning for a few hours and late evening. We had to park a block or 2 away a couple of times during our week stay. We had a couple of minor issues but they were taken care of promptly. The property manager and owner are easy to work with and will get back to you with an answer very very quickly. If you need a room in this area I would not hesitate to book this condo. I almost forgot, very nice boardwalk starts along beach at the end of this street. Great place for morning or evening walk you can walk along beach for a couple of miles plus!! Only about 10 minutes from La Jolla also.

Loved This Pet-Friendly Condo
We are snowbirds from Canada and stayed in this condo for two winter months. We loved everything about it. The apartment was charming and clean, and we had everything we needed to be very comfortable. The condo is pet-friendly, which was a must for us, and leashed dogs are allowed on the beach after 4:00pm in winter (summer is 6:00pm). The owner and property manager were both very nice and helpful. You can't beat the location, with an ocean view from your living room and just steps from the boardwalk. The location in North Pacific Beach meant it was very peaceful, but close enough to easily walk to the many restaurants and stores. It only took minutes on the I-5 to get to Old Town, Downtown San Diego, Point Loma, Coronado, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, etc., so we did lots of sightseeing without putting a lot of mileage on our car.

So glad we stayed here!
This place is as charming on the inside as it is on the outside. And the location? Fabulous! you can see the beach from the building and we were on the sand in minutes. The kids loved the Crystal Pier! There is also an amusement park an easy bike or walk down the boardwalk and it's really great. The apartment was filled with everything we needed (although we didn't cook much - too many fun restaurants).
It was also very clean. Our only complaint: we had 2 cloudy days. And the price was not a budget-buster. We will be back next year. Maybe sooner.
