Sweet little spot in great location

My kids and I stayed here for four days. The neighborhood is really nice and there’s lots of shops within walking distance. The parking wasn’t great so we parked and used Uber so we didn’t lose our spot. The beach is about a 20 minute walk, and the walk is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

Great place to stay

It was a great weekend getaway. We were in town to visit our student at SDSU. We loved being able to walk to restaurants, coffee and shopping. The beach was a 15-20 min walk. The place was clean and comfortable.

Great 1 bedroom

Very clean and had every thing you could need for a comfortable stay. A quiet neighborhood and an easy walk to the beach, boardwalk, grocery store and more. One of the nicest and most complete rentals for a home away from home. I would definitely rent it again.

This was a perfect property, just 5 blocks from where my son and his wife live and very private. The place was neat, clean and exactly as the owners represented. My wife and I will be going down to visit at least 2-3 times per year and hope to stay at the same place.

Perfect for the two of us.

Close to where we needed to be. Liked a separate bedroom. Spider webs in bathroom and not so clean rug in front of the tub. Rug in the living room needs a good vacuum ing. Mattress pad on the bed. Other areas were spotless and neatly organized.

Cute apartment. Only 5 units. It’s walkable to beaches but not recommended after a long day in the sun. It would be up hill with all your belongings. Accommodations were average. Thin pillows. No sheets for the hide-a-bed. Very little cookware if you planned on making meals. Plenty of towels but a little too much bleach. Lots of shops (grocery too), restaurants, and tattoo shops around. Awesome little ice cream place around the corner. Street parking wasn’t bad. Mostly quiet at night.

Everything great! Except…

The bed, the single most important part of a unit. Unfortunately there is no place to upload a picture. The mattress has a piece of foam rubber on top. Clearly that is done to make an uncomfortable mattress more comfortable. It failed. Terrible mattress=poor sleep. Not good. Otherwise this is a great place. Location is excellent, clean and comfortable and easy access.

Did not even stay there.

This place looked cozy and cute but was not. First, I had to walk 2 blocks with my suitcase because there was very little to no street parking available. Getting in wasn’t a problem but, when I got in, there was a crummy couch and a smallish tv in the living room. There was a security screen door with a lock, but the front door had none. I just did not feel safe thee so I left and found a hotel. Expensive mistake!

Great Sister Retreat!

The apartment was exactly as described - perfect size for 2 people. Easy to find parking on quiet street and so nice to walk into the private courtyard to the apt - gave a great feeling of privacy as well. The apt was clean and included all the basics needed for the weekend, living room furniture may need a little updating soon, but the bed was super comfortable! Open both doors for cross-breeze, and close bed door w/air conditioning for max comfort! Grocery stories walking distance, and a great bike rental as well. 10 min walk to either ocean or bayside. Will definitely return to this rental!

If it was nearer the beach I would stay here again

I had issues with the screen door lock although eventually realised there was nothing wrong with it and was very secure. Totally disagree with another review that said she went to a hotel because of the door. I was on my own and felt totally safe. Didn't hear from the property manager until late that evening and I think that was only because I was sat outside when he came home. But Mike the owner got back to me straight away and explained the door issue. I would certainly recommend staying here, very clean, quiet safe neighborhood, and all in all I had a fantastic week. Could have been more sun but don't suppose I can blame a human for that!
