Great Stay
We had a really wonderful stay! There are great coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants in walking distance and it was so nice being close to the beach. It was so nice to enjoy the rooftop while our baby was napping/sleeping. Parking was always easy to find. I would highly recommend this space.

Great!
The property was better than expected. I highly recommend.
The only con I have is the parking. The agent said, since it was off season it should be easier to find parking. Not so much...be careful on weekends.

Nice spot, 10min from Tourmaline Beach
Location is 10min walk from Tourmaline Beach in a quiet neighborhood. I had a pleasant ~2month stay while working in SD. Comfortable bedroom, well-equipped kitchen, and rooftop deck can work for a gathering. Big thanks to the super-responsive property mgr for adding a small desk for computer work and roofdeck umbrella, which overall made the spaces more comfortable and work-oriented rather than crashpad-ish. A good choice for a weekend stay. Is the back unit of another apt, so the entrance that doesn't intrude on the front unit is the alley through the garbage bins (not my favorite as they were nearly always full from the other units). Near a nice surf break and a handful of nice restaurants eastward

Pacific Beach Stay
This place was absolutely perfect for our week stay. It had everything we needed from amenities to the perfect amount of space for 2 people. Amazing location minutes (by foot and car) to the ocean and wonderful cafes/restaurants - on top of being nestled in a very safe feeling neighborhood. The apartment was clean, private and everything we needed. I would absolutely return for our next stay!

Best rental we've had in Pacific Beach
Can't say enough. We had such a great experience with our rental and we've had a few over the last nine years. The pictures are accurate and current, and they're not stretched. The unit was so clean, everything was great quality, the location was maybe 2-3 blocks to Tourmaline beach, loved the rooftop sunset and barbecuing. And the neighborhood is safe and quiet and people are so nice. And their response to a few texts were very timely. Definitely will rent here again, without a doubt. Bonus--daughter lives very very close. We will be back. Thanks Jorde!

Perfect stay
The home is one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. It’s a stones throw from Tourmaline Beach & close to several restaurants and shops. Great contemporary design, everything feels brand new, awesome rooftop patio with views of everything! The A/C kept things at a perfect temperature and the neighborhood is really nice and easy to find parking.

Nice place on Sapphire
I was initially a little concerned about a place in North PB but the walk to the action down by Garnet was not terrible and there are some nice restaurants nearby on Cass st. The place itself was as advertised and nice and clean. Finding nearby parking was relatively easy. My only suggestion for the owners is to have at least one beach umbrella, beach chair and boogie board and to have a couple more supplies for until a renter can get to a store like … a little coffee, a few packs of sugar and artificial sweetener, some creamer not requiring refrigeration, a gallon of water. Also, one comfy chair in the living room would be useful. Sofa was not great to sit in because of deep seat with too mushy back. It was great to lie on though! Would stay there again!

Beautiful condo in Pacific Beach
Highly recommended newly renovated condo with a great view from the rooftop! We loved staying here and the location was perfect. The unit was perfect for us with all the amenities we needed. The communication with the management company was top notch! We would definitely stay here again.

Unpermitted ADU. Clean and sterile.
We arrived at a brand new unit, so shiny nobody had ever used the toaster, pulled the last stickers off the new fridge, or scuffed up anything.
It looked like a page out of a magazine: clean, sterile and completely devoid of genuine character. Nobody's ever lived here, nobody put their heart and soul into it. It's "nice", but not a place that felt homey or comfortable.
It's an ADU in a residential area, rented contrary to State law.
It has a rooftop deck that's fine, but too sunny to actually use, and no shade structure.
The management company is a publicly traded big short term rental company, fully as impersonal as the space. We had a problem with a lost item, and it took a while, but they did eventually solve it.
