This property is amazing and as advertised - it's a beautiful location right in the heart of Pacific Beach - central to everything. The host and the manager both were very proactive in their communication and welcoming prior to arrival, with a very detailed outline of what to expect, the access, and ensuring that I knew we could reach out to them for any questions or issues (of which we had none). The condo is very quiet, well appointed and clean. Parking is secure and easily access from two different streets. Extra credit for all the beach amenities the host had provided - towels, beach wagon, umbrellas, chairs, boogey boards, etc. - all in great condition and fun to use. Inside, there was plenty of space to spread out, the kitchen, bedrooms and the living spaces were well and tastefully appointed.Checkout was very easy - again, both the host and manager were proactive in the communication, and the process is very easy.I would highly highly recommend staying here - awesome location and experience!

We stayed here for 4 nights with family including kids. It’s a great location and an easy walk to the beach and shops. Having dedicated parking in the garage was awesome! The kitchen is well stocked with what you need, and there are little extra touches throughout to ensure your stay is comfortable. The bathrooms are really nice. We enjoyed using the beach wagon, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and boogie boards available to utilize. What a great touch! Michael is a great communicator and has pride in his property. He quickly answered questions and even gave us ideas for places to explore when we asked. We would definitely visit again!
