Perfect location, short walk to the beach, food and shops. House was cute, especially the courtyard. It was enclosed so our dogs were able to walk free. Everything we needed for our stay with our small dogs.
Nice rental in an excellent location. Steps from a walk along Mission Bay and nearby restaurants and shops. John and The Coastal Project were very communicative and welcoming—easiest check in possible and all was as described. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen for the basics, and great to have a washer/dryer handy for the longer stay. The owner of the property is very friendly as well. We would return back for a stay in San Diego.
Perfect location, walkable to the beach, bay, grocery store, restaurants and bars! Host was responsive and super easy to work with. Thanks for having us!
We had a great stay. We were a family of four with ages ranging from 1 to 65 so we spent most time around the area and in the home. The home had everything needed for meals, with stores walking distance. Also the area is flat which was easy for baby/ stroller and elderly to navigate. Entertainment is every direction!
This property was perfect for our trip. Location is great and is situated right between the bay and the beach, less than a minute walk to either side. The home is spacious and comfortable. We also enjoyed the small patio area ourside the property for dinners. Will definitely be back.
Nice little two bedroom condominium right in the action of Mission Bay and Beach. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and access to a washer and dryer. You need to have a very small car to access the on-sute parking. Overall, would stay again as hosts were receptive to all our needs.

We were in San Diego for a funeral and cooked a few dishes in the home. Kitchen was well stocked which was a huge plus! Location was perfect as well. Parking was to the side of the home and very tight even for a small car. The home itself needed some TLC especially the bathroom. Overall we enjoyed our time there and would consider staying again!
Cute lil casita steps from the bay and about 1 min from the beach. Location is 10/10. The bay is across the both and the beach is one crosswalk away. 5 min walk to yummy food, Rosemaries is a must for hamburgers and amazing service! Every question we had was answered quickly by the company and owner. Thank you!
Enjoyed our stay. The bed was very comfortable which I need. Small AC made livingroom very comfortable, but I was glad we brought fans to circulate the air. The couch to sleep on in the livingroom was a love seat. My 13 year old granddaughter slept great. The unit was clean but kept finding little items left by previous occupants, like socks and a finger nail file. Kitchen was great for our needs. A very short walk to the beach in a nice area. There was one parking place as described but the parking place was only suitable for a smaller vehicle. We had to park our mid-size SUV on the street.
Great little apartment in the BEST location! I lived in Pacific Beach many years ago and it was so much fun bringing my kids (18,15,10) to my old stomping grounds. Literally a 30 second walk to bay or 90 seconds to the ocean. The provided toys were a HUGE bonus: 4 bikes, several boogie boards - didnt get to use the paddle board or kayak though, mostly bcz we just didnt have the time!. Great quality sheets and there were plenty of washing machine and dishwasher pods for us to use - there were even extra Keurig pods! The one suggestion I have to to put the address oj the back of the building as well - it took us several minutes to digure out where to go because the entrance is on a walkwal but younpark out back. Also. The parking spot is TINY. My Nissan Rogue fit but barely. FANTASTIC restaruants all over the place and great bars with happy hoirs.
Great location and Great place! Host and owner very attentive and friendly! Highly recommend as this location is well located to enjoy both Mission and Pacific Beach!
The host was very welcoming and responsive to issues. We also enjoyed having recreational equipment to use and the convenient access to the bay and the ocean.
The location and home was perfect for our needs during our stay. The host was very attentive and responsive if we needed anything. We will definitely stay there again when we visit San Diego.
This was truly a wonderful place to stay. We were a little nervous when we first arrived when we couldn’t find the unit but you were immediately responsive and helpful and there were not any issues. Thank you so much for the hospitality. It was a perfect place for us!
Lovely place right next to the beach and bay! Less than a 2 min to either area which was very convenient. Place was also easily walkable to local restaurants and bike rentals etc.
