Great location, clean inside. Patio needs a lot of work in order to enjoy it. Unit needs repairs.

We enjoyed our stay very much! So close to all activities. Walkable and driving distance. All appliances worked great! The only thing I would recommend to update are the beach chairs. Not overly awesome. Would love to have more and regular size.
10.0 / 10.0
The house was really close to the beach. It could use some TLC but for the most part the beds were comfortable, the house had one towel, and one beach towel for each of us, but no extra, which was fine as we were only there for two days. It is a little tricky getting your car in the garage as the houses are close together, but it did fit our Traverse. The beach and restaurant are all within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location. The place itself was clean and comfortable. Like others have said, some simple updates and repairs would make it a 5-star spot. I would stay there again.

Generally, great location and accommodation. Main issues were just with small details like not having enough bath towels for everybody. Only one mirror for a location that sleeps up to six people. Two dollars for coin operated washer and dryer is a new experience and was especially frustrating as it was not consistently working

The location! Needed a deep clean and could use some updating/investment. The location is very good. People watching is really fun there.In the bottom unit > 718 you can hear people upstairs, but over all it was pretty quiet in the area. (We were there on a Saturday and Sunday) for the price it’s was perfect.

We enjoyed the property. It was in a great location, near the beach and restaurants, and it was still relatively quiet even though it was in a higher density area. Amenities were good. House was clean. The coin-operated laundry didn’t work, but was repaired within 24 hours.
6.0 / 10.0
Location was perfect. The building was good. But the unit itself could use a really good deep clean lots of dirt and dust that could’ve easily been cleaned up. Kitchen utensils can use a good cleaning as well. But the unit itself was fine. the best thing yoga about this unit was the location. Property managers, not quick to respond to questions, but the ease of the app was nice. They also need to update the keypad entry. It took multiple attempts for it to work each and every time we enter the unit.

Property has a great location. The place made for a good stay. The bed in the bedroom alone droops in the middle bad like a taco, but the bedding was clean and we slept alright, just woke up smooshed to each other. There was sand all over the coffee table and floor, but maybe that's to be expected that close to the beach. It rained pretty hard while we were there and the bedroom with 2 beds in it got some water in it, not sure how, the windows were closed. Over place made for a good quick weekend stay with our friends.

Nice clean home within feet of Mission beach and 2 mins from Belmont Park. Small garage but was perfect for our rental. 15 min drive to San Diego Zoo, or La Jolla! Will definitely book again next time we visit San Diego!

Great access to beach, Belmont and eateries. Check in instructions need to be updated as there is a keypad at the garage now and no security door only the front door…issues with pizza sauce on the wall above the trash can inside ( that we cleaned off with a paper towel) and the patio table was filthy-we cleaned it also so we could use it…there were only 2 beach chairs that were usable…we enjoyed the cool temps and the close proximity to the beach 🏝️

Everything about our stay was great. Close to everything. Perfect for four people. If there is anything to improve it would be to fix some of the broken outlets in the bedrooms. We all had stuff to charge but we were able to get it worked out. Also there was only enough silverware for 4 people and extra set would have been appreciated. Will totally stay again!!

Upon arrival there was a car parked in our garage; then to our surprise there were people in our unit that didn’t understand how addresses work. We ended up having to find a new rental to stay in

There is a lot to say about this house, some good and some bad.
Pro:
• Washer and dryer on site
• Garage
• New individual shampoo, conditioner, and shampoo
• Water is hot
• 5 Beach towels
• 6 shower towels, face towels, and hand towels
• New dish soap and sponge
• Less than 1 minute walk to the beach and 3 minutes to Belmont Park
• 3 Boogie boards, 2 umbrellas, 4 Beach chairs, and over $50 worth of sand toys
• Hose outside to rinse off sand
Cons:
• Can't use oven without fire detector going off, only microwave and stove top to cook, as well as a grill that has no propane.
• Fans are disgusting dirty
• Floors are dirty, like black on your feet
• Bathroom door doesn't lock or it gets stuck and locks you in.
• Cabinet door in kitchen broke( came off, I had to fix it)
• Fan in matter bed room doesn't work
• Clock on the microwave is broken as well as the timer
Lastly, curtain rod next to the dining table fell and almost landed on my things that were on the chair (glass items)
Location is the best aspect of this home. You can tell they are working on fixing up the units that are being rented out. That being said, the dust and dirt was so bad that my family of 5 were all coughing and had sore throat every day we were there, the day we left, our symptoms went away.
I would not use this home again.

8.0 / 10.0
Not ever staying in San Diego before we didn't know quite what to expect. It was wonderful being so close to the beach. Easy walking to everything you need. You are pretty much on top of each other-not much privacy (curtains very thin) but I think that's just San Diego. Neighbors were respectful of noise at least, but have to keep windows open at night if you don't want to feel hot and stuffy. Definitely a challenge to park in the garage unless you are very confident in backing up in tight spaces (primarily a challenge because of the large dumpster right behind the garage) and we had a full size car...suv or truck would be even more challenging, as listing suggests. Home is old and dated but clean and sufficient for what you're getting (location!!)
In small print, the lack of AC is mentioned and we didn't catch that before we booked. If you stay in warmer days, the house does not cool off much. It was very stuffy when we first arrived and took a long time to get comfortable the first night. We were very warm the entire time, even with keeping fans running and windows open, though it improved a little keeping windows open (note-there are a couple of screens that have tears...might want to repair) If you don't sleep well when it's warm, might not be the place for you.
Back bedroom bed we found out our last night was very comfortable but the room with two beds are very saggy. Might consider replacing with one similar to the other bedroom.
Overall, a good experience. Would stay again if there was AC or. better fans to cool things down and move the air better.

You cannot beat the location of this property. Literally, steps to the beach and a couple blocks away the roller coaster in Mission Beach. Great for kids! Would stay again!

The property was adequate for what we needed as far as location. But it's condition it was rundown and things did not work properly tv's etc.

I loved that we could walk to the beach within seconds and that is was near so many restaurants. The outdoor patio was nice as well.
The apartment is pretty dated and not everything worked quite right. Overall I was worth staying there for the location

Great location, comfortable beds
Perfect price for the location. Got what we expected, a decent base for a San Diego stay. The beach is a stone’s throw away, the paths on both the ocean and bay sides were great for walks and runs. The upstairs dining chairs are very loud when moved but the guests upstairs were conscientious. The area homeless are evident but not a problem.
