Great check in and out! Comfy bed! Such a good location between the beach and the bay! Loved having beach towels, chairs, toys and an umbrella provided! Stocked kitchen - enough supplies to make an Easter meal! Bright and clean place to stay!Condo was very hot during the day even though outside temperatures were in the 70s. Windows needed to be open and all fans needed to be used. Lots of airplane noise overhead. Very tight parking spots.

Disingenuous Posting

Check in was 3:00 PM but the cleaning company was there until 3:45. The place was not clean. One of the beds was covered in black hairs and there were dead flies everywhere. There is no A/C, which is listed in the information, but buried when it should be up front. Information sent prior to check in implies there is A/C, a W/D, and D/W. This place has none of those. The kitchen is minuscule and missing common items like a colander and oven mitts. The location is absolutely lovely, but it was a disappointing trip overall, especially for the price.

Overall happiness and joy

We were so pleased with the location and the overall accommodations—the kitchen is well appointed and allowed us freedom to cook and be with the kids. Luckily our neighbors were lovely and respectful, we were pleased to have no issues as they were sharing the front deck. However, there is mention of A/C, which there is none and a dishwasher—again, not a part of the property. Also, we had a need to change the sheets(due to a spill—our fault) and had trouble locating them—called the after hours number and text to no response. Ended up finding the sheets and all was fine, but, never got a response from rental company. Glad there wasn’t a big problem.

Graduation weekend.

We rented this place because our nephew was graduating from the Marine’s at the MCRD in San Diego. The location was perfect for everything! Short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops just as described in their ad, plus you are a very short drive or car service to anything downtown! The unit was very neat and tidy with all the necessities! The bedding was newer and the beds were very comfortable. The furniture inside and out was newer and in great shape. Everything was just as described, but if I had one complaint it would be the shower, and it is probably more of a suggestion than a complaint, but the temperature of the water would get very hot at times almost to the point of scalding! It could be very dangerous for small kids. If they were to upgrade to a shower faucet that would prevent it, I would call this place near perfect for what they advertise it as! I would highly recommend it for a couple, with 1 or 2 older children. Would definitely come back!
