Policies & House Rules
What to expect after booking:
We manage properties on behalf of our owners. Upon confirming your booking, we will send you a rental agreement for your upcoming stay which you will need to complete. This agreement reviews our terms and conditions, house rules and policies, and what to expect of your stay. We will also contact you within 24 hours of the booking to obtain contact information and to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding your upcoming visit. The check-in details will not be shared until the rental agreement has been signed, payment has been made, and the guest has connected with one of our guest services agents.
In addition to completing our electronic rental agreement, you will also be required to participate in our identity verification process. The Verify Hub service is offered through Autohost; an intelligent guest screening software that automates ID verifications, background and credit checks, security deposits and more, helping to improve guest experience and safety. Please note: for the credit card verification, a $2 hold will be placed on the card to run the report. This hold will never process and will fall off automatically within 7 days.
Property Appearance:
Vacation rentals in San Diego are for the most part, second homes for the owners. Therefore, some furniture or decor may differ from what is pictured because the owners needed or wanted to replace something. Professional photos are expensive and we can not re-photograph the rental every time something is changed but we do maintain the listing content with any notable furnishing changes especially related to sleeping arrangements. (*Please note: We do not give refunds because a piece of furniture or artwork has changed)
Property Responsibilities:
If you have never stayed in a vacation rental before, we are not a hotel, WE ARE BETTER! We offer many of the same luxuries of a hotel with the comfort and space of home to share with your whole family. Our property owners are our friends and we work with each owner to offer a special, specific and ideal environment for guests to experience and enjoy. All of our homes offer similar amenities so you can expect the same experience whenever staying with us.
With that said, we need you to do your part in helping us maintain each home. Please be attentive to ALL RESPONSIBILITIES as a guest of our home.

Perfect location walking distances to beach and businesses, yet a private patio area.
Very clean. Beds were comfortable and extra bedding and towels are onsite.
Fantastic communication with owners. They very much wanted to ensure our questions were met.
Would stay again

Wonderful experience! Already signed up for next year!

Pros: location (4 minute walk to the beach), space (3 bedrooms plus a sleeper sofa and there was a bunk bed and another twin in one room), dog friendly, newer flooring, great water pressure. My 2020 Ford Expedition did fit with about two inches to spare front and back and we had to pull forward to use the washer and dryer. We did have to park our second vehicle elsewhere. Nice beach chairs, boogie boards, toys and bikes to borrow.
Cons: being so close to Mission Blvd you do hear traffic, no AC, no dishwasher, very little area for the dog to potty, kitchen needs remodeling but functional. Fans were provided but box fans would be a better choice. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

The property is a great location. Easy walk to beach or bay - and near shopping and restaurants.
My single complaint is the stained carpet and overall lack of tlc given to the house. I understand because of where the house is located people will rent it without any updates, but it is just kind of a bummer.
4.6
Fair. The pictures are deceiving and must be 10 years old.
The 3 of us agree it was the worst rental we ever experienced.
4.6
Wonderful spot for kids, parents and grandparents on our stay.. comfortable slept 6 and very well equipped with beach toys, bikes n chairs. Steps from the bay, close enough for the kids to run back n forth and also very close to the beach action but quiet at night.

We loved our stay in this home. The home could use a few upgrades. There is no garbage disposal, no dishwasher and the carpet is worn. They are minor things that aren't a huge deal. The home was comfortable, beds were nice, and it was clean. There were also beach toys, chairs and bikes in the garage (we couldn't use them because of weather but they seemed to be in working order). The washer and dryer were nice to have and were very clean. As mentioned in the description, garage parking room is limited. We were upgraded by the rental agency to a Toyota 4runner. It fit parked at an angle. It worked for us but space is something to be mindful of if travelling with a bigger group or 2 cars. Even in January, Street parking was limited.
The communication with Nancy's vacation rental was great. They were responsive and checked in with us to make sure there were no problems. They allowed us an early check in which was so appreciated. Every communication I had with them was very professional and they were very kind.
Location is fantastic. The home is just off of the bay and is walking distance to Mission Beach and Belmont park or Pacific Beach. Many walkable food options and a grocery store. Short drive to sea world, San Diego Zoo and other area beaches.
I would happily stay in this home again and will look for other listings from Nancy's vacation rentals for my future San Diego trips.

All in all a very good experience. The place was very comfortable. It needs some TLC, however it was fine and met the needs for our family.

The house is located between the bay and ocean. Super easy access for each; located with easy walking distance of several great restaurants. One house back from the Main Street so a little noisy at times. Carpet was a bit stained but clean. But overall, really enjoyed the stay.

Really enjoyed the fact that the property was one block from the beach. Also, near-by amenities aligned to convenience and comfort.

It's a great spot. All was fine. We loved the yard and the pet friendlyness. Garage was great we fit an Equinox and a Mini Cooper in it.
It's a bit crowded with the amount of furniture. Could probably pull some pieces and rearrange for more space. Also it's quite outdated and no dish washer. Everything was fine but the carpet really needs to go. I was expecting tile or laminate and the carpet was everywhere and very worn and stained etc. Nothing was bad just could use some love and updating. We still had a nice stay here with our family. Close to everything and many great things like the bikes came in handy! All in all a good stay.

We enjoyed every minute at this property! The kitchen was fully loaded with everything for our cooking needs. Plenty of beach toys, bikes, chairs, boogie boards, you name it!. There is a private courtyard that is fully secure, perfect for chilling with friends or for kids. The house was comfy, the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. We will definitely be back again!

We visited for 4 days between Christmas and New Year's. The location of the house was excellent. It is an older home so the interior features are older and worn. It definitely could use a new coat of paint and some new flooring. It was clean enough for this visit. I generally like something really clean but it was okay. There were 2 long black hairs in the tub so not sure how good the cleaners are that come in, but again it was okay. The appliances all worked good. About half the outlets didn't work but we made do with what was there. We spent as much time out as we could so didn't really hang out inside. The property allows small dogs and I took mine, so that was a positive feature. We enjoyed ourselves and have no outstanding complaints about any of it. Would recommend to anyone-just know that it is older without many upgrades and cleanliness is just okay.

This property was OK. Nancy's management was great and very attentive. The property was fine. It's location, which is one building away from the main street, makes it noisy at night. The only other fault is the carpet. It's badly stained and needs to be replaced.

This is a great townhouse one block from Mission Beach and just a short drive to all the major attractions. There were a few good dining options within walking distance. The Interior is a bit dated but the listing description was accurate from photos.
The condo was stocked with a good amount of supplies.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting San Diego again!

If you can’t stay on the water this place was a good choice. It does need some updating but all in all a good place. The only negative were the flies. This house is located right by everyone’s garbage containers and so the flies made it impossible to sit or eat outside durning the day. There was no smell just flies!

This is definitely a lively area, even more so on weekend days. I wasn’t familiar with the mission bay atmosphere and was expecting it to be more like La Jolla. The beach is great, long and unobstructed. Great restaurants. You can walk to just about Everything you need for a few daysPatio is lively and great for outdoor meals. It is downstairs from the kitchen. Interior definitely older, but accurate from photos.Nancy’s mgt company was awesome. Super quick response time to the minor issue we had.

The location was fantastic and close to both the beach and bay. We walked everywhere and liked that the car was in a garage.

The property was just ok for a vacation rental. We had plenty of hot water for showers, the kitchen was clean (though we did not cook much) and the place had a nice patio area. The beds were very worn out and uncomfortable, the barbecue only had half the burners working, we ended up renting bikes as the ones provided had leaky tires, the carpet was stained and very dated, and the downstairs TV could not raise the volume past a whisper. My main complaint was the fact that Nancy’s Vacation Rental sent a ridiculous amount of emails during our stay. They even interrupted our wonderful visit to the SD Zoo with a phone call to inform us of an availability for the rental on the day we were to check out. Honestly I will use Home Away, or recommend them to people again, but not for a Nancy’s Vacation Rental property. She needs to sink some money into the property.
