Great Stay. Very clean and close to the beach!

Our stay at Shared Dreams was great overall. The house was accurately listed, steps to the beach, stocked well, clean and well furnished. There are tons of restaurants and shops within walking distance. We were never more than a 15 min drive to anywhere we wanted to go for the day. It was plenty of space for our multi generational vacation ages ranging from 4 - 67. There were a few maintenance issues but the property manager was incredibly fast to address the issues. Carpet needs replaced in bedrooms but that is a very minor. Linens and beds were very comfortable! Friday and Saturday nights we were between two very loud party houses. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

I came with my son and college friend and here three kids for a week around Spring Break (kids ages 10-16). Beach access was perfect, including a warm outdoor shower and hose for getting the sand off. We enjoyed Belmont Park and many walkable attractions and restaurants. Loved the trivia night at Guava Beach Bar just around the corner and a fancy night out for the moms at JRDN restaurant (try the lobster roll!). And pasta and Pizza at Luigi's down by Belmont Park was GREAT - get the in house made Portuguese sausage pasta dish! Of course we went to Legoland, San Diego Zoo, the Safari Park (book an extra safari adventure ahead of time, worth it), Old Town, and used both cars and public transportation easily. There's no need for a car to enjoy the neighborhood or to get downtown, but it was a easy drive with little traffic to get most places. The Go City pass was a great investment too. House itself was as pictured - comfortable, great separation of space, nice balconies and outdoor space, three bathrooms and room to sleep 7-8 comfortably. TVs in every room and a gas fireplace. Lots of room for everyone. Stairs are steep but we had no problems with anything in the house - well cared for vacation home with lots of beach equipment in the garage including 4 boogie boards! Only complaint was loud weekend neighbors (in violation of noise ordinance) but the rental agency was very responsive and can't be responsible for spring break antics - just bring your earplugs if it's a big party weekend! And every other night was quiet and the boardwalk was fun and felt safe.

The checkin was very easy with a door code prior to the stay. The house was perfect! We had two families with 3 small children. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. They gave you plenty of paper products/soaps. I have stayed at numerous VRBO and often they give you toilet paper/paper towels/dish tabs for 1-2 days and you have to buy more while staying at the house not here! It was very well stocked with everything you would need! There was plenty of beach items for the kids. The hot water outside before going in was great for the small kids on cooler spring days. We had a flight cancellation and requested to stay an additional night. I had sent a message extremely early as we were trying to figure out our plans and the management stay got back to us very quickly and were able to allow us to stay an additional night! There was a rowdy group of college kids that came to stay a few nights but that was the only negative I can think of but obviously an unavoidable issue for the area. The location can not be beat! I have stayed at numerous places in Fl/Al in condos and it was much faster to run back to the house here to grab forgotten items than any place I had stayed! There were so many restaurants, coffee shops, etc close by! We had such an enjoyable trip and hope once our kids get slightly older (it was a fairly long flight from Iowa and the time change was a bit tough in the kids) we will come back here again and again! Cant say enough about the house and management!

Let me start with the good parts. The house was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well stocked and new appliances. The beds were very comfortable. It was great having air conditioning, which isn’t always available in the area. I had only one question about the air conditioner and I got an immediate call after I texted. It was great to not have to go buy paper products and soaps. The living room furniture is nice too and clean with a nice tv. The beach is very nice and super easy to get to. Since it is winter, not as many people on the beach itself. The boardwalk is the busy spot with lots of runners, biker, skaters, etc. It felt very safe though, in the daytime. We didn’t go at night. I have to say, the photos look a lot different than the actual rooms in the house, but the rooms aren’t bad, just a bit older looking in person. I live in a 3 story house, but the stairs in this rental are very narrow. Coming down the stairs, with my size 8 foot, I had to turn my feet sideways. Very steep stairs. Getting luggage up and down to and from the 3rd floor took concentration and strength. Something to think about if you’re older. Finding the house was not easy. There’s no house number on the garage, so we drove around and around trying to locate it. It’s not the owner’s fault, but the view from the balcony is a burned house, a black hole and a group of young guys live directly across and have no window covers and the rental has no window coverings in the living room, so you look at each other across the sidewalk. (We taped a length of paper towel for a cover on the doors). They are young, so of course, they had lots of friends over and the doors open onto their balcony. One thing to consider is that we are older. The negatives I found may not bother others.

Second time staying and celebrating a wedding and birthday. Flying from the very tip of the East Coast (low country) to SD will never get old. And oh ya, the view!!!

We had a great stay at this home! Perfect location, everything within walking distance, comfortable, clean, couldn’t ask for more! There were 6 adults in our party and the home was just the right size:) Last minute booking that couldn’t have been better! Thank you!

This is a fun rental, cute decorations, a bathroom and balcony on every floor. The top floor balcony was amazing for relaxing on and watching the waves (can’t see ocean from other balconies). Very easy walk to the sand, we’d go barefoot. The hose and WARM shower outside were very helpful for getting sand off of little people and toys. My husband and I stayed there with our 5 kids 12 and under. There were two pack and plays and a high chair. With each bedroom being on a different floor it did make the house feel very separate, which makes little kids feel farther away, but would be nice for privacy if going with other couples. The flooring and stairs are all rock tile and the stairs are very steep, so be prepared for that. We usually eat meals outside but at this rental that was much harder with the kitchen being on the middle floor and the steep stairs to carry food out. The master bedroom was large but had slanted ceilings in places that my 6’1’’ husband hit his head on a few times. The master toilet/shower area is TINY, with a slanted door access. It’s tight to get into like a tiny bathroom stall. If you’re a large person getting between that door and into the shower could prove difficult. Though the showers on the other two floors are open and regular size. Nice to have a two car garage, but it’s still for small vehicles, our SUV didn’t fit. We were able to find parking on the street most nights. There’s not very much comfortable seating in the family room compared to how many beds there are in the house for people. There’s one couch, an arm chair and a wood rocking chair. Would have preferred another arm chair over the hard rocking chair. The AC wasn’t working while we were there, we knew that ahead of time and it turned out ok because the weather was temperate in October and we could open the windows and doors. But it would have been way too hot in the summer. There were lots of bath towels, but could have used more than the two kitchen towels. Overall, it was a comfortable good stay!

Good beach location. Quiet during the week; busy & louder on the weekend - but expected at the beach mid-summer. House is generally well equipped and works well for multiple family and guests. Could stand some updating and better kitchen equipment (e.g., knives that actually cut, a spatula, etc.). AC wasn’t very efficient on the 3rd floor. But, all in, it was mostly as expected and we had a good 2 weeks with family

Overall good. We arrived on a Saturday and no garage door remote. I emailed the company as per instructions (text for emergencies it said). No one ever returned my emails until 2 phone calls later on Monday. Poor communication for sure. Trash in the lower level bedroom was still full from previous tenant. Ceiling fan in Master bedroom broken. Let them know on Saturday and after 2 phone calls on Monday they did offer to send a maintenance person. GREAT LOCATION but be forewarned….steep non-carpeted stairs! Caution should be used with wet feet! Overall a good house. Does need some tweaking to be perfect!!!

Perfect location. Loved the layout of the house. House had everything we could possibly need.

Other than the unfortunate luck of having 3 houses around us filled with drunk teenagers, we had fun. Love the upstairs balcony with nice ocean view. Bathroom on each floor was cool. Only one car in garage, but we knew that. Weather was great.

Had a great vacation with family and friends. Housed 8 of us perfectly! The proximity to the beach is wonderful, and great restaurants all around too.

We enjoyed our stay and it was very cozy and had a family feel to it the house. Its was easy to get the beach and quick to the main street. We will definitely consider staying here again!

The property, location and accessories made for a very pleasant stay. We enjoyed ourselves very much. We would certainly use this property again.

Very good. Does get noisy as it’s on the beach.

We had an absolute blast at this property. My family, along with my brother's family could not have asked for a better location. Literally steps from the beach made this super conveniinent for the kids and us for that matter. Kids could easily make it back to the house to get snacks, use restroom or whatever without worry. We did have one minor issue with the garage door, through no fault of really anyone, it just seemed to be a normal wear and tear issue. The property managers were very responsive to the issue. House was within walking distance to pretty much anything we needed. We took a walk down to Belmont park for a day of fun with the kids, out to restaurants, coffee shops, you name it. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to other families.
