Great location that’s right on the beach and within a short distance of all the popular places around San Diego. Just one thing to make note of, especially if you’re coming with young kids: the condo/neighbor is directly in the crosshairs of departing airport traffic so hearing rumbling jets every couple of minutes should be expected. The good news is that it typically quiets down at night and you get used to it pretty quickly. Outside of this, I highly recommend this place for anyone interested in visiting San Diego!

Amazing Sunset Views & Location

Property was in the perfect location! Far enough away from the crowds, but close enough to walk/ride bikes to restaurants, Belmont Park, etc. Amazing sunsets and bonfires on the beach, right in front of the condo. Check in was easy and Maurice/Property Manager was very responsive to some minor issues. We had an awesome vacation and will be back!

Fun in the Sun Penthouse

Wonderful location and a very comfortable place. Garage was deep enough for two cars which was nice when we had guests. We didn't cook while we were there, but kitchen was well-appointed (except no chip clips :-) ). Bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. Recommend some maintenance on the windows in the back bedroom (2 queen room), as only one window was able to open.

Great views and location

The property is in a gorgeous location. The views are incredible. The house does have the essentials and a nice kitchen and living space. The main observation we had was the cleanliness of condo. The couch was definitely worn down, the patio furniture was tattered with cushions missing, and the floor was gritty with dirt/sand. We did have a great time during our stay! For the price you cannot beat the location and views. Overall would still recommend as a nice place to stay at the beach.

Great stay on the beach

Our stay at Fun in the Sun Penthouse was awesome! The location and view cannot be beat. The property manager was very responsive and replied to emails almost immediately. The house was clean, and had everything we needed to prepare meals. The only suggestion I would give would be to have a few beach chairs for use. We flew in from Seattle, so we couldn't bring anything like that with us. Other than that, it was perfect!

Graduation weekend

Great location in MB and wonderful space, good communication, comfortable beds, 2 spaces for medium car parking a big plus. .House was surface level clean but I would suggest a good spring cleaning. Kitchen cabinets and drawers, windows, baseboards, etc were dirty, dusty and grimy. Appliances worked but oven was tricky to figure out because display is not functioning. All in all very good stay-thank you.

Pleasant unit in great location

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this penthouse condo. It’s fun watching people use the sports court on the beach and surfing in the distance, and it’s an easy 10min walk to Belmont, 5min walk to some good coffee and breakfast spots, and 15 to 20min walk to many other restaurants and activities.Note that you should plan to bring or buy your own sand/beach supplies (e.g. chairs, umbrellas, etc). Also note that unit doesn’t have AC, but during our stay we were able to be comfortable with ocean breezes and strategic opening of windows/doors.Remainder of amenities were useful: sugar/salt/pepper, pots and pans, coffee filters, etc. Had what we needed, and getting anything else we wanted was easy. Glad we chose this spot!

Beach Condo

Enjoyed our stay.....awesome location and view. Garage = Very tight to get a large vehicle inside; however, our Yukon XL fit with 2" to spare on each side of the garage door opening. Challenging, but possible! Bedrooms = There are not two twin beds in Bedroom #2. It has a twin bed and a pull out trundle bed (this room sleeps 2, not 4)

Spring Break

Overall the property was ideal for our family Spring Break. The location just steps from the beach and Belmont Amusement park was ideal for running back and forth with small kids and a dog. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had the basic necessities. However upon arrival there was a strong chemical smell that lingered throughout our stay from a mop stored in the closet and the living room furniture and chair cushions need to be replaced due to stains wearing. Prior to booking I read that cleanliness was a concern and I would concur. I expect higher quality for the per night price.
