Visiting a friend in SD

Rented this house with 4 other friends for a long weekend to visit a friend in SD for March Madness. The location is terrific- minutes to the beach and a ton of restaurants and bars and activities. Easy to access. Very happy with our stay.

Great place, trust reviews

The place itself is, overall, great. Clean, spacious, great location steps from beach, and the property managers are responsive. The only caveat I will give is trust the reviews and the listing - parking is as difficult as they say, especially if the other side of the bay is in use. This was made very clear to us beforehand.There is also a good amount of homeless activity in the area. If you're not comfortable with this, you may want to look elsewhere.All in all, if you have a small (or no) car and want to be close to the beach, this property is a good option.

Prime location with as much privacy as wanted.

This was a great experience we loved the welcoming gifts. We fell in love with this location as we could hear the life of the city and beach when we wanted. But also had privacy when we needed. Everything was within walking distance or nearby we in hindsight shouldn't have rented a car.

Very nice!

The condo is just as described. The beds are comfortable and there was plenty of bed and bath space for 9 adults. Nicely updated baths and kitchen and nice patio. The kitchen is stocked nicely. The neighborhood is a noisy and the furniture is uncomfortable but the proximity to the beach made it worth it.

Great location and overall experience

The property was in great condition and was in a great location. The host was responsive to all our questions as we prepared for our trip. The host was very transparent in how tight the parking situation would be. It truly was tough to get in and out of the parking spots due to the alley and dumpsters being so narrow. Once you are in the spots, two cars fit well. It's just getting in and out of the spots that is challenging. The guests at the property next to us actually hit and damaged our car, that is how tight it is. We had 7 people and there was plenty of room and bathrooms. The AC in each room worked well. Hard to find AC and 2 parking spots, so it was a win!

Location was ideal. However, parking was not the best. We could not fit both vehicles into carport

House was ideal. Location of home was great. However, the parking area face the back of the shops where the trash bins were placed. Parking was not the best. We could only fit one car into the carport. Had to look for space on the street and move it daily for due to street cleaning days. I recommend a small vehicle for parking, even with that the 2nd vehicle may still have an issue parking. Overall, the house was nice and clean and comfortable.

Close to the beach. Very tight parking no large SUVs

Great place and great location there are some college students that are renting a place upstairs pretty loud and always partying. The patio out front downstairs is for the bottom portion that we rented but there was a lot of traffic hanging out there and cutting through there to get to the college dorm upstairs which was really annoying. The college dorm upstairs has two balconies we we’re not allowed to access even though the stairs from our place weird right up to it. So I’m not sure why they can hang out on the downstairs patio and we cannot go to the rooftop patio. Also there are three homeless people that sleep right out front in the alleyway where you park to access your car. Other than that the place was clean the beds are comfortable it’s in a great location

Great location between ocean and bay

Loved being able to walk to ocean or bay with small kids. They loved the full size bunk beds. Was nice to have the air conditioning units. Two were not working when we arrived but they came and fixed them the next day per request. This area is busy, some day and night time noises. I am a light sleeper, maybe once a night something woke me. However we were there during spring break and I think most of the loudness at night was attributed to the neighbors above us that were up late. Even said, noise levels were tolerable. Only downside to this rental is the parking. If large vehicles are parked on either side it is very difficult to get in and out of the parking spots. Three different times when we arrived back at the rental someone was in our side of the garage. Twice it was the people in the upstairs unit and once it was the cleaning crew. If no one is staying in the upstairs rental it is super easy to park in the spots in the garage. If you want care free relaxing parking this renal may not be for you. All in all we had a great family vacation here.

Wonderful place in SanDiego!

We had an amazing stay! The communication with the property management was wonderful. When we arrived it was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay! Parking is very tight, so keep that in mind, we had an suv and it was tricky. Otherwise everything was wonderful and we really enjoyed being so close to the beach and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Parking problem

Misleading description of the rental house. The parking rental unit describe for two cars. It was impossible to park. the parking place of the two units was for four midsize cars. The tenant on the second floor is using two spots. They have one oversized truck and full-size car in addition they have lots of stuff like motorcycle bikes which force them two park all the way to the end. In addition, there is dumper in front of the parking which it is extremely hard to park
