Great location. The place itself was clean and comfortable. Like others have said, some simple updates and repairs would make it a 5-star spot. I would stay there again.

Weeklong getaway with the whole family

Excellent location! Walked to the gorgeous beach and boardwalk every day (literally from the front door to the beach is a two minute walk). Arcade was nice for our 13 year old. SeaWorld was just a few minutes drive away, and the zoo and downtown were less than 15 minute drive away. Property manager was very responsive for whatever we needed. Great to have the grill, kitchen and laundry available.

Great area. Was easy to walk to many shops and eating establishments. Easy to drive to area attractions. The unit is fully furnished and easily accessible. There was one of the beds in the two bed room was squeaky when slept on. Having a nice area to come back to made our vacation a great experience in San Diego.

Great location and easy access!

Property was just as described. Check in/out was easy. Kids loved the beach toys provided. Only suggestion would be to make a broom and glass cleaner available to sweep up the sand and clean the table/counters.

great location

Property has a great location. The place made for a good stay. The bed in the bedroom alone droops in the middle bad like a taco, but the bedding was clean and we slept alright, just woke up smooshed to each other. There was sand all over the coffee table and floor, but maybe that's to be expected that close to the beach. It rained pretty hard while we were there and the bedroom with 2 beds in it got some water in it, not sure how, the windows were closed. Over place made for a good quick weekend stay with our friends.

So-so property

Great access to beach, Belmont and eateries. Check in instructions need to be updated as there is a keypad at the garage now and no security door only the front door…issues with pizza sauce on the wall above the trash can inside ( that we cleaned off with a paper towel) and the patio table was filthy-we cleaned it also so we could use it…there were only 2 beach chairs that were usable…we enjoyed the cool temps and the close proximity to the beach 🏝️

Great location makes up for few issues

Generally, great location and accommodation. Main issues were just with small details like not having enough bath towels for everybody. Only one mirror for a location that sleeps up to six people. Two dollars for coin operated washer and dryer is a new experience and was especially frustrating as it was not consistently working

Location!!

The location of this spot was excellent. Only 2 houses down from the beach, you can literally hear the waves with the windows open. They had every we needed, pans, silverware, beach toys, parking, tvs in each room, lovely patio, and comfy couches. It’s a little bit of an older home but Definitely worth the price! Only complaint would be the laundry. It worked 1x but swallowed out $4 when we tried again. Dryer works okay ish. And it was hard to find quarters around the area. There are plenty other Laundromats around if u really need to do laundry. Great stay!

Heavy rain was an issue

Pros: Great location (steps from the beach and very walkable to several shops, restaurants, bars and attractions), outdoor/patio space, comfortable beds, plenty of space. Cons: Heavy rain came in through the windows in both bedrooms. Luckily we didn't use any beach towels because we needed them all to soak up the water inside. I was in contact with Vacasa immediately to report the issue was told they'd report it to the local team and keep me posted with updates. The next day a random and unexpected man showed up to check out the windows. A heads up would've been appreciated when letting a random person into our rental space. Also, a tiny bit of cosmetic work would make a world of difference.

Adequate

Our stay here was just fine. The place was clean, and the one small problem we had was addressed promptly. The location is fantastic, only about 50 steps to the beach. The unit has comfortable furniture/beds, and all the linens needed. A major plus is that there is convenient, free and secured parking for one car. The kitchen is not very well stocked. All the basics are there (cups/plates/silverware), but if you plan to cook, you may want to bring some measuring cups. etc! The feel of the place was very mediocre. The building is clearly very old, and it is showing. While the unit was clean on our arrival, there are parts that are just yellowing and rusting that can't be cleaned. The appliances are outdated but functional. It also feels very dark inside. There is very little natural light that filters into the unit since it is on the bottom level and surrounded by other buildings and foliage. It felt a bit like staying at a Holiday Inn - you have the required basics but nothing more. It was not a bad stay - just nothing special.

Great location - house was ok

House was clean upon arrival, and it had everything we needed. Location was amazing, just 3 houses down from the beach. The kids loved the beach toys! Overall we had a good stay and would stay again. The price was very affordable compared to other houses in the area, but you get what you pay for. House is a bit shabby and could use some work, but overall everything was functional and comfortable. The negatives:- I tried contacting Vacasa (The management company for this unit) before our stay to ask a question. They never got back to me with an answer. - Bathtub drain would not plug, and when we tried to run a bath for the kids a bunch of hair came floating up from the drain. So we stuck to showers after that- The washer and dryer are inconvenient to get to, and the dryer takes at least 2 cycles to dry the clothes (So you have to pay for it twice)- A man tried to access the unit we were staying in to do some work. There was a list of contact numbers in the garage and I tried contacting 3 different people listed. One hasn't worked for the company in 5 years, one was no longer in use, and the other never answered. We eventually figured out what unit he needed on our own, but the management company needs to improve.- The garage is VERY tight to get into if you have a larger vehicle, takes a bit of shimmying to get in.- Would recommend putting in a dehumidifier as everything felt damp in the houseBut overall, an enjoyable, clean and affordable stay!

The location was fantastic! Close proximity to the beach, local shops and restaurants. The kitchen and living room were nice, however the bedrooms lacked comfortable beds. They have also recently renovated the bathroom, to remove the bathtub, while the shower is beautiful, it is a bit inconvenient with a toddler.

This location is outstanding, steps from the beach and Belmont Park. It was a good sized space for our family with two young kids and comfortable furnishings. However there were multiple cleanliness issues, primarily the floor was broom clean but after walking in our socks, they turned black as did the bottoms of my kids feet. I alerted management to this and the best they could do was get the cleaners back the day before we checked out which we declined at that point. There were also multiple issues with ceiling fans which meant we had to coordinate timing with the repair person they sent to check it out and it was uncomfortably warm in one bedroom and the light kept turning on overnight in the second.
