Great experience overall with no complaints! The room was very spacious and nice, and was spotless when we arrived. The parking was very conveniently located on property and the location to the beach was perfect, it's literally across the small road across from the property. The dishes, glasses and toiletries provided were sufficient and we definitely plan on staying again. I've noticed some complaints in some reviews about the contactless check in process being tedious and I assure you it's not. They are in communication with you the whole time and as long as you follow the very simple instructions there are absolutely zero issues, and if you need anything at all there is a text number you can reach out to and they are very very responsive. We definitely will return to this property again when visiting this location!

Great room and location for the price! We had a great time staying at Los Bungalows and will be our go to spot to stay in the future any time we visit San Diego. Plenty of things to do and see within walking distance. We drove and they have free parking right there which is nice. It is a contactless property and it was very easy to communicate with them. They respond very quickly and are incredibly nice. They checked in via text a few times to ensure we had everything we needed. Love this place!

I know some reviews says it doesn’t have heat or ac but it does. It also said it doesn’t have free parking but it does- 1 car per room. The host was great on communication throughout my stay and before. It was in a great neighborhood and right across from the beach! I would definitely recommend staying here and I will be coming back!

Room with a view!

I read other reviews that were not so good but we couldn’t have been happier! We had a king suite with ocean view and it didn’t disappoint! AC worked great! Cute decor. Comfy bed! Could see ocean from sitting at the kitchen counter enjoying coffee. Great location! Clean park across the street, little local bars and restaurants all over within walking distance. Easy parking. Will come back!
