Location was nice on the bay in the front and the beach a short walk behind. Plenty of good restaurants around. Designated parking spot was great since it is such a busy area. It was very quiet at night/early morning. We enjoyed the walking path that goes along the bay and to some shops.
This property was everything we needed. Great location close to the beach with amazing views of the bay. The communication by the host was top notch and we had no issues.
We really enjoyed our time here! Listing was accurate and the location was great! It was amazing how quiet it was considering how close it is too all the action.
Beautiful bay views, well stocked and organized kitchen, comfortable bedrooms… very clean and great location property!! We definitely hope to be back soon!
The location is excellent and the condo was bright and comfortable. We had a minor problem with the televisions and coffee maker but Dani handled it quickly and efficiently. Very convenient location for all the local attractions.
Loved our stay at 3N Condo! The views were beautiful, the condo was very clean, updated and comfortable, easy access to the walking trail, and great location. Communication with the property manager was prompt and accurate. Thank you!
Thank you for providing a great retreat! We very much enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well equipped with so many pans, dishes, and utensils. The boogie board and chairs and pales made our beach time the best! It felt super safe and was close to many restaurants, stores, the beach and the Belmont Park with fun games and rollercoaster. There is so much to do while having a quiet secure place to land and enjoy. Thanks again for helping make our trip so enjoyable!
The living room was nicely updated and had a beautiful view of sail bay and the Bahia Belle. Nightly fireworks from Sea World were a treat too. We were fortunate that the temps were in the mid to low 70s during the day since the property does not have A/C. Bedrooms and bathrooms are a bit dated for the price but were clean. We had an issue with the sliding screen which Dani took care of right away. We typically stay on the ocean side and will probably do so next time as well. But all in all, a nice stay.
Property was clean and updated. One window wouldn’t open, not a big deal. Patio screen stuck. Getting keys were easy. Check in check out very easy. We’ll ask for this unit again
We stayed the week between Christmas and New Year's and really enjoyed ourselves. The condo has two nice bedrooms and a bathroom for each. The kitchen has the necessary appliances and most everything you need to cook meals and the WIFI works very well.
The location is a very short walk to Mission Blvd. and the beach. There's a Starbuck's within a two minute walk along with a small market, sushi place, Mexican, and Italian restaurants. And a grilled cheese restaurant as well.
The view is of a marina and a bay and a beach is right out the door. It's not a fancy place, so if you're looking for a Ritz Carlton this isn't it, but I'd recommend it to anyone who anyone who's looking for a comfortable home away from home for a visit to San Diego.

Relaxing and beautiful views
I took my two girls for a girls trip. They had a great time at the beach and the bay. The condo had all amenities we needed.
We really enjoyed our stay as the location was perfect next to Mission Bay and steps from Belmont Park and the ocean. Everything was exactly as described and all communication was quick and helpful.
Condo was perfect for my family of 4! We have a 3 year old, and it was safe with beautiful views of the bay. So much to see with the boats and birds! Communication with host was easy and wonderful, would highly recommend!
Great location, easy to access, good instructions from the host
Our family (two adults, two kids ages 7/9) was happy and comfortable here. Laundry is not in-unit but is in the apartment complex. Thanks for a great stay!

Quiet and relaxing.
One of the best vrbo stays so far. The owner was very responsive. The place was well stocked and clean. It also felt very safe. The views!!!!!!! Hope to be back soon.
Comfortable 2 BR, 2 BA apartment. Nice views of the bay and just a short walk to the beach. The apt has newer appliances and instant hot water. Comfortable.
Our family of 4 had a really nice stay. The building is older, but the unit has updated kitchen and bathrooms. Everything worked great for us. It was so nice to be right on the bay with beautiful windows and a balcony, and the breeze was wonderful to have with windows that easily opened. There are several fans provided to keep it cool and breezy, too. We really enjoyed the ability to walk to the beach, restaurants, coffee shops. It's a nice, vibrant neighborhood. There are beach toys and chairs in the stairwell to the beach, which we took advantage of. The location was great for our family, a short walk or drive to many different things to do. The communication from the host and property management company was fantastic. The guidebook provided so much information, very helpful. Easy access to the property, and everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the San Diego area.

Stay here!,,,,
This was our family's first vacation with our 2.5 yr old.....we were very happy with the condo. On the bay side, pleasantly quiet and steps to the beach. The view was fantastic and the balcony was great for night caps after the little guy went to bed. The condo had everything we needed including the beach chairs, boogie boards and all the toys for our son.
To our surprise there was also a major blackout in SD County while we were here and "Dani" the property manager continued to text us by phone to make sure we were ok. She also came by to drop off an extra needed fan.
Location, location and even better location.......and quiet when you need it.
I am not fast to give out great reviews, however, with such great professionalism it is called for.
Stay here first!
