No air conditioning!

The good: Fantastic location with amazing view of the bay from the front room, which has huge glass windows to take advantage of the views. Very convenient to walk everywhere we went and the beach was directly across the residential street. While the home was very clean, it’s pretty worn out and in need of basic maintenance. The not-so good (actually, horrible): I titled this review so that people don’t make the mistake we did during August. When we arrived, the house was sooooo hot! They left all the drapes open, letting the living area to become at lease degrees hotter than it was outside. The windows were shut tight and only 2 very low wind ceiling fans. There were other portable fans onsite. It was not comfortable until the next morning and only then because we opened windows and let the breeze in. We called property manager right away and the guy was very nice—said he’d send maintenance over “right away”. At 6:00, nobody had shown up, so we called again and there was a recording saying they were closed until 9 AM the next morning. They called back the next morning and I told them we had gotten it cooked down to around 80, but suggested they could help future guests by opening the windows, closing drapes of non-opening windows, and turning on the fans. It actually ruined our first day and night at the property because it was so uncomfortable. I don’t think they will change their practices, but it’s such an easy fix that it doesn’t make sense not to.

comfortable and great location

This property is within walking distance to so many great amenities - restaurants, beach / boardwalk, Balboa island and a playground on the beach :) We didn't need to use the car very much, because everything is so close! Neighborhood beach is right across the street from the property. It was a slam dunk neighborhood and community.

Great location and view

I’m glad we read reviews prior to our stay. After reading there was no dishwasher, I brought paper plates, bowls, and disposable flatware. We were going to bring our own beach chairs and I wish we had. We saw there were beach chairs provided so we thought we’d save some space in the car and use the rental property’s beach chairs. There were only two (a possible 3rd chair but it was hard to tell if it belonged to the rental property or the tenant below because it was not branded like the other two). The refrigerator also leaked a lot of water, they offered to bring a maintenance person but the last thing I wanted to do was remove all of our perishables while a maintenance person worked on the fridge. It felt like the fridge could have been addressed before we arrived, I suspect the water was there long before we checked in when housekeeping was there. Hopefully they fix that for the next guests (I honestly feel it’s time for the owner to invest in a new, up-to-date fridge). I’m also accustomed to most vacation rentals having some basics usually left from previous guests like seasonings and cooking spray. There was only 1 salt (no pepper). So if you plan on cooking, travel with some basics. I left a new salt and pepper set and cooking spray, hopefully they leave it for others. With that said, management was great at communication and response time, the view is beautiful, and we loved the location so we were happy with our stay.

relaxing

Great location with a great view of the bay. The back deck is very relaxing and private which we appreciated. It's a great house for a weekend getaway. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is cute and very small but had everything we needed. I do wish there was a dishwasher...only because you are trusting other people's hand washing skills prior to your arrival. The area is very cool, all you really need is walking distance. All felt safe but very busy. Lots of traffic. I would probably replace the carpet. It does feel clean, but it is stained. And without AC (like many places in the area) carpet can smell a bit musty. A good breeze comes in the windows, but the house was always warmer than the outdoors. Overall, it's a cool house in a great location.

Very Good Place to Tent

Good upgrade to an old house, quaint and comfortable. The garage, rate, view, and location are really wonderful. Having rented many times on the peninsula over the years its nice to not have to negotiate an alley. It feels like a neighborhood. Glad we chose this place.

Perfect location

I really enjoyed my experience here at this location. I had my two grandsons ages 5 and 3 with me so the bay was perfect for playing in the water without worry about the big waves. The kitchen and bathroom were a little small, but it was perfect for us. The kids LOVED the big window and watching the boats sail in and out, and the ocean is just one street over with a boardwalk that my grandkids LOVED riding their scooters on. We didn't have any issues with parking. The spot in the garage is perfect for a small car or small SUV. There was also street parking for our guests and they just needed to move on Monday for the street sweeper. Management was quick to respond by phone if I needed anything. I was a little worried after getting the noise ordinance info online, but I called and they assured me I wouldn't have any issues with the kids. It was mostly just to keep people from being loud partying all night. That was definitely not us since we were in bed by 9 each night:) I did try for an early check in and was told this property isn't eligible for early check in, but I knew when I bought it that check in was at 3 so, we just went and enjoyed the beach till time to check in:) We will stay here again!

Wonderful location, nice view, & quaint

We were very happy with the location and view from the main window. The harbor was closer than expected. The rental was very small but accommodated the 3 of us no problem. My only complaint was the condition of the carpet. In some areas it was very filthy. There was a spotted & stained rug in the entry that I rolled up and put in a hall closet as it was too gross to walk on. It was a rug that needs to be tossed. There were also some other carpeted areas that are in desperate need of being shampooed or maybe just the whole unit needs laminate. That was honestly our only complaint. Fix the carpet issues and it’s a great location for a small group. We used the kitchen a lot, it was small but worked well for us. I would stay at this spot again if I knew the carpet issue was resolved : )
