The family's beach house

Our San Diego property is located in the lovely area of Pacific Beach, just two blocks from the beach and two blocks from Mission Bay. It is ideal for families, retirees, and young couples alike with it having an enclosed back yard (good for the little ones) with a brand new BBQ, lawn chairs for telling stories, as well as a lemon tree! The property has a driveway with a private gate for two vehicles as well as street parking available-- a huge plus for summertime in this popular San Diego beachside suburb. This property is within walking distance (3 minutes or less) of not only the beach but many popular restaurants, bars, coffee/ice cream shops, Garnet street shopping, and a supermarket! Our area is quiet but close to fun so we ask our renters to be respectful of our wonderful neighbors who live in the area year around. The house was built in the 1950's when Pacific Beaches' palm tree lined streets were made of sand so it has an old feel charm which we LOVE! There is cable, smart TV, a DVD player, & WIFI internet access, AND washing machine/dryer in home. Shower towels provided.

Host provided excellent instructions and accommodations. This house is lovely and in a fantastic area, it’s 1 block away from a grocery store and the beach! The only thing that I would recommend is having couple of fans throughout the house as the AC was struggling to keep up during our stay. Overall I would highly recommend staying at this house for your next getaway.

We had such a wonderful stay! The home was cozy, well-equipped with everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The owner was very kind and responsive, which made the experience even better. We can’t wait to return.
