This studio is perfect for a family or a group of friends. Walking distance to the famous Pacific Beach Boardwalk and walking distance to the lively Garnet Avenue where you can enjoy a variety of delicious food, pubs and clubs. Centrally located in San Diego, this extra-large condo is close to Downtown San Diego, The San Diego Zoo, La Jolla Cove, Seaworld, Belmont Amusement Park and the Crystal Pier.

***Our cleaning staff has enhanced cleaning criteria based on WHO and CDC guidelines to combat any chance of Covid-19 spread. Although our standards were always high, we are doing our part to use additional types of cleaning solutions. Thank you for considering us and as always we look forward to taking great care of you and our guests***
Two weeks prior to check-in we will send you a pdf welcome package via email with everything you will need to enjoy your stay.
The neighborhood Pacific Beach has everything you want. Whether you prefer to spend your time with your family at the beach in peace and quiet or hanging out late with your friends at night there's always something to do. The neighborhood is very safe, there is constant police on patrol. If its peace you are looking for, avoid garnet ave and mission blvd between 10pm and 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. If it's a party, you will find it on those streets in full swing on Friday and Saturday. Also, don't miss Taco Tuesday which is celebrated everywhere in Pacific Beach. No matter what your style is, there's something for you here in Sunny San Diego!
Wanna get around? Nearby are bike rentals, scooter rentals like Bird and Lime, and taxis. But my favorite way of transportation in San Diego is Uber or Lyft. I have them both downloaded and check to see which gives me the best deal for a quick trip. Of course, you can always rent a car and use your included parking spot. Just don't forget to avoid traffic between 3pm to 6pm!

We enjoyed our stay, the space was clean and comfortable. We had meals outside on the patio which was spacious and elegant.

I was in town for a short stay, so I needed a different place to stay than usual. This place was great. It was private and quiet, with good access to Pacific Beach and beyond. This place was clean and had plenty of room. Loved the patio outside. This place was great, and I would be happy to come and stay again.

This was just the location we were looking for. Our trip included me, my granddaughter, my sister, and our mom. We had plenty of space for what we needed and it was great to be so close to everything, especially the beach.

Was exactly what we expected and perfect for what we wanted. Very quiet location - hard to find in the beach area and VERY valued by us.
Arrived to an insanely steep driveway. Glad we weren’t doing a lot of walking. Upside, easy parking - again, very hard to find in the beach area.
Entered the apartment to an overwhelmingly strong odor of Fabuloso. If you like your clean to smell like Fabuloso, you will be thrilled. Me. Not so much. It’s one of the worst smells on the planet to me. We took the cleaning solution out of the house and left the fans blowing and windows open most of the time. And finally on the last day the overpowering aroma was muted enough for me not to say, damn I hate that smell every time we walked in.
But even with me disliking the smell, the house made us happy. Quiet area for meals outside. Complete with lighted shade umbrella over the table.
There were beach toys had that been something we wanted.
The studio was set up in such a way that it felt huge.
My friend was prepared for the shower to be less than fabulous based on reviews. Luckily they must have fixed anything because the shower had great water pressure and was awesome.
The only downside was that communication was non existent. No big deal as we really didn’t need anything. However my flight was changed by the airline and a few days before leaving we requested a late checkout. And never heard back until after we had already left the house. Not ideal but will still book it again.

My family stayed here during our spring break. Shower could have been a bit cleaner (mildew around the ceiling and shower head could use a good clean), but otherwise a nice place to stay. Beds were comfortable and the kitchenette was perfect for a short stay.

A great stay, clean and private. Walkability is high. Listing shows pictures of view but we weren’t sure if allowed to access as was part of main house, other than that, amazing!

We stayed at this location for a few days when we were in town for comic-con, and it's a great location. The neighbourhood is very nice, with a great perched view over the surrounding area.
The house is located about a 15 minute drive from the airport and downtown, so it's well-situated.
It sleeps 4 people (two in one big bed, two in bunk beds), and has a basic kitchen so you could do you own cooking, as well. I especially liked the spacious shower in the bathroom.
I had to communicate with the owner to learn the location of the recycling bin, but he responded very quickly so that's not an issue.
One small quibble was that the floor was covered in a think layer of what I think is soot, painting our feet black at first. We wore our shoes inside thereafter. I'm not sure where it comes from, perhaps California wildfires?
Anyway, overall, a great stay in a nice, quiet area.

Nice place but floor seemed dirty, heavy scent of cleaner, and no book to help with TV, shower, etc. Never was able to use the TV properly

Property was clean and as advertised. Communication with host was easy and prompt. The extra touches of beach items were great! Would highly recommend.

This property was very comfortable. Beautiful, quiet location not far from grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, and about a 6-minute drive to Pacific Beach. Beautifully landscaped private patio space with a patio set and grill. Having off-street parking was a huge bonus. Everything inside and out was super clean. All the beds were super comfy. The bunkbeds were a hit with our two daughters. There is a different couch than the one pictured, but the current couch is comfortable and had a recliner on each end. It was so nice to be able to put your feet up after a long day of walking. There were plenty of extras: beach toys, chairs, a small cooler, etc. It was nice having a large walk-in closet to store our suitcases and other items. The kitchenette had all the basic necessities: Microwave, toaster oven, hot plate, mini fridge w/freezer, and a coffee pot stocked with coffee and tea. The only minor negative was the shower--the side shower heads were plugged with buildup--two sprayed with a very weak stream and one had just a trickle. The rain shower head above worked fine and was great. Also, the faucet in the kitchenette was lightly spraying in different directions. All could use a good soak in vinegar. Finally, a welcomed addition would have been a binder explaining the basics like how to operate the shower or portable AC/heater. It would run for about an hour and then it needed to be drained. We only needed to use it twice and my husband is pretty handy, so we didn't bother contacting the owner. In terms of the driveway, other reviewers have mentioned the steepness. Yes, it is steep, but so is just about every driveway in the area. It's commonplace with a neighborhood built on a hillside. Once up the driveway, there was plenty of level area to park. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

The property is attached to a beautiful home in Pacific beach only a short 5 minute drive to the beach. (Which our family with 3 small children under 6 had to do) You could walk down to stores and water front in about 15-20 min through the bustling hilly neighborhood of north PB. We found plenty of eateries and fun to be had down near mission beach, enjoyed a full day at the zoo, and took in a gorgeous La Jolla sunset. All were within a 20min drive.
Unfortunately we arrived after San Diego's heat wave and hurricanes humid aftermath which brought tons of mosquitoes. We weren't able to enjoy the garden space quite as we'd like due to the pesky bugs and found a black widow near the door and other spiders which made us nervous for the kids to explore/play on their own. It took a couple days to cool the space off (with small AC unit) and get comfortable as we had to spend a good chunk of time in the room to protect the kiddos from bites. We had some initial issues with the AC and the owners were kind enough to help us remedy the problem. There were several fans to keep air circulating which helped, though they could use a good cleaning as dust was present on all of them. The tv could use a guide for use as there's several remotes and not super easy to figure out. In addition it would have been nice to use the DVD player for the kids, but we couldn't figure it out either. Batteries were in need of changing and there were a few light bulbs that were out. Not a big deal if we didn't have to spend as much time in the room accommodating our small children.
They had some beach gear (2 chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, cooler and toys) an umbrella stroller which came in handy, and a pack n play. We ended up bringing all our own as the listing didn't showcase what was available. The kitchen, although small, fit our needs aside from the hot plate not working (or us not being able to figure it out.. Again, no guide)
All in all it was a nice home base that was easy to get to everywhere we needed during our stay. Be prepared for the steep driveway.. Our van took some finesse to go up and down without scrapes/bumps. Our eldest son enjoyed running up and down it though it proved dangerous for our fearless 2 year old. We enjoyed our stay, but to better enjoy the beach with a young family we will look into a spot within shorter walking distance to the water.

I just realized I did not review this property right after our trip. We had two days in San Diego in between family visits. This was a perfect location for our two day stopover- spotlessly clean, convenient to sites (we went to the zoo for christmas) and walking distance to trader joes, the beach , shops and restaurants.

Place was easy to find and very clean. Having a driveway for parking was crucial. Parking can be frustrating in SD as I discovered. Great place would recommend.

Very impressive studio apartment. Met all my accommodations for my 3 night stay.
This was my first time using the VRBO app, and I was really satisfied chosing this studio. It's close to all your local stores and restraunts. 12 minutes from Old Town San Diego. About 15 min to Coronado Bay. We had a great time, would definitely come back. We were able to meet Mathew and he was very welcoming. He suggested, and directed us to the main streets that would get us to our destination's. Satisfied customer...John👍👍

Pacific Beach vacation
Great location near many attractions! Spacious room and huge shower! Nice patio area for eating outside in natural setting. Owners are very nice and enjoyed chatting with them when we saw them. Bed was also very comfortable and property was accurate in the listing! Would recommend to others.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. . Beautiful beach. Great location. Comfortable studio apt with all amenities. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic
This stay was absolutely fantastic. Very close to everything, every beach and attraction we wanted to visit was 20 minutes away or less, usually less. This location is part of the owners home, who I met and were very delightful and helpful. Bathroom was very nice as was the little kitchenette. There's not much more to say other than when I plan to come to San Diego again, I will definitely look to see if this location is available first as I would come back here again.

It suited our needs
This is a light-filled property with a wonderful outdoor seating area. We hiked Torrey Pines State Park, toured Balboa State Park, and La Jolla. We went to Pacific Beach once. It is a bit of a walk to PB, particularly if you have beach items, parking is challenging. The place is one large room with bathroom and large closet. Newly appointed. The only drawback for us, as someone noted earlier, was the dorm size refrigerator. But overall, the property suited our needs well.

Perfect Getaway
My fiancée and I stayed here for 3 weeks and it was perfect for us. Totally private and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. It’s very close to the beach and on a safe/quite road. From the top of the driveway you can see the ocean. My favorite part was the back patio and garden along with the huge shower. We would definitely stay here again! If I had one negative thing it would be the size of the fridge but if you are planning for a short stay it should not be an issue.

Great space!
This was a great and very functional space, perfect for us and our 3 kids. It had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. The beach chairs/toys provided for our use were great as we had neglected to bring our own and it was super quite and secluded which was really nice. We'd definitely stay here again!

San Diego Stay
This was such a wonderful stay for my boyfriend and I. Not only was it clean, peaceful and quiet, it was also near so many things (bars, restaurants, beach, etc.) We vacation frequently throughout the year and we both agreed that this was the most efficient stay for us. If we ever come back to San Diego, we will definitely be booking this place again. I recommend this to anyone!
