Great house, beautiful view.

If it wasn't for all the "broken" elements, we would have found this place to be pretty great. At our walk-through with Patrick on check in day, we were told that the hot-tub, drapes, and ventilation to the theater room were all broken, and should result in a nice discount. Also, there was really no response to our inquiry about the two large, depressing, dead plants on the patio, one of which we removed. A hot tub was a requirement when making our property selection, as we are well-aware of "June Gloom" so that was the most annoying of the issues. This "change in amenity" is something that we should have been notified of in advance. The drapes were in all different levels of disarray. The worst situation being that we had to move one of the drop down shades so we had a little coverage over one of the bedroom patio doors. Even with that move, there was very little blockage of light, making it impossible to sleep-in during our vacation. We utilized the theater room every night, with the lack of ventilation making it uncomfortable. Beyond what the rental company knew about before we arrived, we made them aware of the following issues on our second day: Burned out shower light-which we replaced Broken a/v control frame Stained carpet throughout Sticky/difficult front gate key-which is needed every time we left the property without a car. Shower diverter broken and handle comes off (2nd floor East bedroom)-others broken so needed to use hand held head Need more characters!

This house was absolutely perfect for my family and I. The location was beautiful, the house was extremely clean, the communication with the property managers was excellent!

We truly enjoyed our stay - beautiful home, great views of the ocean. Everything was as stated and more.

If I could give the property 4.5 stars, I would. Overall, this is a VERY impressive house and location. On the quiet, north side of Pacific Beach...you feel like you are right on the ocean. I would stay here again because of the location. Great restaurants and sights in walking distance. Bluewater rentals was very prompt with communication and I could tell they were trying hard. We had issues with the hot tub. Even after fixing, it never seemed very "hot". The electronic shades on the entire top floor are not working and with the large windows, you can feel a bit exposed. Again, the rental company was aware of these issues and said they are trying to fix them. To get to the bottom floor, you MUST use the elevator or take outdoor stairs. This ended up being fine by the end of the stay, but it took getting used to. And if we would have had a younger family using all three floors, it would have made it pretty inconvenient. The kitchen is well stocked. There are not a lot of other "home" like things, though. Not really extra blankets, no games we could find, etc. Again, some people might like the "sanitized" house feel...but one of the things our family enjoys about most VRBO homes is the character that comes from how people choose to furnish the home. There are parts of the home that are worn (e.g. shower fixtures that are semi-functional, well-loved furniture), but it didn't detract from the overall experience. Again, overall great stay. But for the cost, 4.5 stars.

We had a group of good friends stay at this property for a weekend getaway in January. Although the weather didn’t cooperate this home provided the oasis we needed to still enjoy the weekend. Incredibly clean and spacious with top-notch management. Plenty of space and onsite activities to keep us all busy.

great house for a large family

This home is exactly as described and pictured. You will not find a more scenic/idyllic location on the Southern California coast. The house is large, and very clean. Could use some stylistic/aesthetic updates, but that doesn't subtract from the experience. Our only complaint is that there wasn't flexibility around check in/out times. Other than this, everything was perfect!
