Views and beach access were amazing. Check in communication and payment was a bit confusing as it was not through VRBO. The checkout check list seemed to be too lengthy. Pool and hot tub are not on the property it was located 1/2 a block away, but was nice and quiet. But as far as location, security, and access to the beach and restaurants it was great.

The highlight of this condo is, without a question, the incredible view. Whether it was morning coffee or sunset, the scenery alone almost makes the stay worth it. Additionally, the location is unbeatable—we were central to everything and found it very easy to get around.The condo itself was clean and functional, but it is worth noting that the decor feels dated. While it didn't negatively impact our comfort, the interior doesn't quite match the premium feel of the view or the location.This rental is managed by a third-party agency outside of VRBO. This added an extra layer of complexity to the process, making the experience feel less smooth than a typical VRBO stay.

Best view on the beach

I chose this condo because of its location and the spectacular ceiling to floor views of the Pacific Ocean and beach that it provides - and it did not disappoint! The property is in close proximity to a boardwalk like beach path and many good restaurants and eateries. Only a 15 minute drive from downtown San Diego I would highly reccomend this property for your vacation stay.

Awesome property

We have stayed at Capri by the Sea many times but this place blew us away with its location and how up to date and beautiful it was. We especially liked our master bedroom in which the one wall was all glass with a sliding door that opened up to a sitting area with 2 easy chairs where we could sit and watch the ocean and listen to the waves and smell the sea air. It was pure joy! Can hardly wait to come back again.
