The photos made the rental appear more updated. When we checked in, in the height of summer, the heater was on and the temp inside the home was 84 degrees. The glass doors to balcony did not seal, with large gaps, and made it difficult to keep insects and heat out. The internet did not work well in downstairs unit, nor did the AC which was absolutely freezing in the main bed/bath. The location was perfect and the night views are pretty spectacular. Would not stay again, but enjoyed our vacation none the less. Property Manager was very nice.

Our family loved the week stay at this property! The home was a perfect set up for two couples and children with three en suite rooms. Being right on the bay was perfect and next to the street directly to beach access was extremely convenient. We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. Being bay front and so close to the beach was perfect for our family. We were only a steps away from a number of good restaurants and coffee spots which was convenient. We will definitely stay again.

This is a fantastic condo with an amazing view - as advertised. The kitchen was well appointed with glassware, cookware and plates. The unit was spotless, and the outdoor furniture very clean. Very cute "beachy" artwork and home accessories are found throughout the living spaces. We were amazed how quiet and peaceful this location was! Such a nice spot to sit on the deck and soak in the spectacular view of Mission Bay. One suggestion would be to install hooks in the bathrooms for travelers to hang their toiletries bags as the counterspace is limited. Overall a fantastic stay!

Great location overlooking the bay. The bay is outside the door. The ocean and beach walk is also very very close. This may be the best location to access the bay and the ocean. Easy walk to convenient store, restaurants, Belmont Park, etc. We walked to The Mission restaurant. Fantastic brunch!! So much California sunshine comes through the glass door wall, it is perfection. Open the doors to a nice breeze. I could stay here forever. Listing photos and description were accurate. Management communication was ok. They send automated messages but were non responsive otherwise.
