Nice place but not having AC makes for a sweaty stay. It's conveniently located across the street from the beach which was great. The house was clean. However, there is no room for food storage. If you plan to buy groceries you may want to minimize non-refridgerated items. Also, the garage is tiny and barely fits a minivan.

BAIT and SWITCH
My family and I recently stayed at this VRBO and it was a truly disappointing experience. The unit is not across the street from a playground as advertised. The beach is a block over and the playground is farther down on the beach. There is no view of the beach from this unit. It sits on a very busy street and can be loud at night with traffic.
The pictures of the unit are very deceiving and some of the furniture pictured is not there. The sheets provided were so scratchy that it was hard to get a good nights sleep. To make matters worse, the room had a dirty box floor fan that we had to use as the AC did not work, even though we were charged extra to rent the AC that never worked. Even after paying, for the AC, the maintenance confirmed that it was not working properly. Upon our departure, many phone calls have been made to get a refund for the AC that never worked and to this date, no return call has been made.
All in all, this was a stay that was filled with discomfort, false advertising, poor maintenance, poor management, poor communication and a location that did not live up to its promise. I would strongly advise against booking this unit.

Fun location!
Being located right between 13th and 14th streets means you’re perfectly centered between the Balboa Fun Zone/Ferry and all the shops around 22nd street. And of course the beach is right across the street.
Our favorite place to eat was Sanchos Tacos, the flounder pounder tacos. There was also a free trolley that was running on Saturdays and Sundays while we were there.
