Great location, minutes from the beach and board walk.
If we are back in the area, we would stay again! Property manager is on WhatsApp which was very helpful since we only had access to Wifi based communication. Just wish the weather was better!

Pacific Beach
Pacific Beach, like most of the So Cal shoreline is very, very densely packed with vacation stay options. The Villa Blanca on Chalcedony Street is one property in from the intersection with Mission Blvd. The parking on the street, while described as “unlimited” was largely taken by vans and small busses of beach goers that stayed parked for weeks at a time. The Villa is a building that harkens back to a former era of beach vacations. The property is fenced and grassy. The peeling stucco, broken blinds and holes in the screens reveal a budget approach to maintainence. There was a curious combination of clogged drains (addressed and re-clogged in a month) and a unique use of extension cords with multiple outlet surge protectors to power the fans, TVs and router to extend the small about of outlets in the bedroom and living room. The "welcome book" was markedly out of date. The woman who came to clean the empty units was very friendly and the contact to exchange linens. The walk to the ocean is less than 2 minutes while passing a number of other rental properties. The ability to hear the ocean occurrs between 2:30 am and 5:30 am when the heavy traffic, busses and sirens on Mission Blvd subsides. The residents were a mix of families with small children to partying youths to retirees. The occasional screaming and singing on Mission Blvd was generally kept to Thursday thru Sunday and ended by 3 am. The location north of the Crystal Pier was generally safer than the south side when daily fights and intoxicated problems were noted per Crimemapping.com. During our stay no cars were broken into on this street (perhaps due to the presence of the people sleeping in the vans) though that did occur both to the north on Law Street and on several streets to the south. The one homicide on the beach (September, 2022) remained under investigation at the time.
