Excellent stay!!

We were in Point Loma for a family wedding at The Thursday Club and this rental was perfect! Beautiful view and great location for seeing the sights in San Diego with good parking. Plenty of room for family members to have their own space and privacy and then come together to enjoy each others company - we give it 5 stars!

The Boathouse Sunset Cliffs

I have been going on trips with 7 other girlfriends for 15 years and our trip to San Diego was one of the best. The Boathouse exceeded my expectations. There were plenty of bedrooms/beds. It is often difficult to find a rental that can accommodate 8 women comfortably. The house was beautifully decorated and very charming. We decided not to go to dinner 2 nights because the sunset view was AMAZING. We were able to do Pilates on the front lawn. I highly recommend The Boat house! Check in and check out was easy and the communication with the the Driftway check staff was great! Thank you!

The best Sunset we have ever seen!

Beautiful home with a brilliant Sunset View! Could have not asked for a more clean, spacious, stylish home to stay with our family. Multiple bedrooms with individual bathrooms was great to have. We truly enjoyed the front porch fire pit sunsets. Magical. Walking distance from beach and our course the Cliffs. The home had everything we needed and then some. It made our trip from New York to San Diego one to remember!

Amazing seaside home!

Wow, we absolutely loved our stay at The Boat House! The house was perfect for our trip with 3 families. Everything was so clean and inviting! The views from the front of the house could not be beat, and we enjoyed spending time out in the yard and on the patio. Thank you so much for a wonderful place to stay!

Family stay for my daughters graduation

We were in San Diego for my daughter's graduation had an amazing stay at the Boat House. You are literally at Sunset Cliffs, so beautiful coastline, and lots of outdoor activities to enjoy. The home looked amazing in pictures and was even better in person. Super clean and really nice furnishings. My wife and I travel quite a lot and I can say this is one of the best places we've rented. We were only a party of 6, but the home would be extremely comfortable with twice that many people. Also, on the outside, the sofa, fireplace were great places to hang out for a morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Also, the management team were really responsive and accommodating as well. Will definitely be back!

This property was amazing, we enjoyed the stay and couldn't have been happier, host was great to work with and accommodating. We definitely will be back and recommend this place to anyone staying in the San Diego area. Comfort and security all around spectacular home with incredible views. Would even be interested in renovating the home next door. Great location with tons of small shops. Remote to everything within walking distance or a 5 minute drive

Great spot! Tons of space for a larger group and the upstairs suites and bathrooms are very well done. Plenty of areas to hang out inside and out. Sunsets are obviously incredible from the front of the house. Would definitely stay here again!

Great House, Great Location

Whenever renting online, you always hold your breath when you arrive for the first time at the house. Particularly if you have booked for a larger group. This was no different. But driving up to this house, and then walking through it for the first time elicited nothing but "oohs" and "ahs" from the various folks in our group. Starting with the location. STUNNING. Your own private viewing location for the best sunsets on the west coast and step across the street to walk along the cliffs in either direction. An easy stroll to Sunnie's (the best Mexican food in the area) and a 20 minute walk to downtown Ocean Beach. Then, the house. Starting with the gated parking for four cars. When that gate closes behind you, there is a real sense of privacy and security. Open the garage door to the game room with pool table, couches, and big screen TV. Step through that room to the courtyard with the inground hot tub. Back into the house, the laundry room is functional and out of the way and the first floor bedroom is perfectly sized for one or two. Not an ensuite, but a bathroom right next to it. The kitchen is one of the best we have seen in a rental. Top of the line appliances (a six burner Viking stove!), coffee maker, etc. all decorated in the nautical theme of the house. Dining room is perfectly sized for 6 and the living room is up two steps with a big lounging couch and large screen TV. Step outside to your own deck with plenty of seating and enjoy the ocean breezes. Upstairs, the bedrooms are roomy, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are well situated (although I am not a fan of the "open shower" concept). Four bedrooms upstairs, including one Master, one Junior Master (each with king beds) facing the ocean, then another Junior Master and a bunk room with four beds. We had 11 people in two different families staying in this house and it was perfect. Enough room to spread out, but good spaces to come together as well. The perfect place to use as our San Diego vacation jumping off point. There were issues that came up during the week. This happens, particularly when you have a house situated right across the street from the ocean. But the Drift team was responsive (I got a response to a text within two minutes) and the issues were dealt with as quickly as possible. If you stay in this house, make sure you cover the deck furniture at the end of the day. If you don't, the ocean mist will cover them with dew overnight. Don't ask how I know that! One thing to note is that three of the bedrooms don't have closets. There are plenty of closets around the house, but keep this in mind when you unpack. We really don't have a single negative thing to say about this house (except the open design of the showers, but that is more of a personal taste issue). We would not hesitate to rent this house again. If you are looking for an ocean front house to host a group from 5-15 people, and this house is available, jump on it and you won't have any regrets...

Perfect property for a group

Beautifully appointed and decorated property in a fantastic location. This house has something for everyone—gated parking, hot tub, game room, views, great deck and plenty of TVs to watch multiple football games at the same time. Hosts are very responsive and service oriented. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely Magical!

The Boat House at Sunset Cliffs is the perfect home for a beachside getaway. The location is directly across the street from the world famous Sunset Cliffs - where we enjoyed views of the sunset from the front deck every night, and walked along the beachside cliffs to the cutest breakfast spot 'Little Lion' in the mornings. And the house! Beautifully decorated, it made for a dream home away from home. Every amenity including beach supplies were available. The home is designed so well. Every bedroom had a unique beach or boating theme with the most comfortable beds. And there was so much room in the house for relaxing! From the wrap around couch in the living room, lounging on the patio, the pool table in the playroom, the large dining area, and of course the hot tub! I highly recommend The Boat House! It's a place that you will never forget and will want to come back to time and again.

Great family stay

We celebrated my mom's 77th bday and had an incredible time. The place is very big and so many nooks/places to relax and enjoy. The kids loved the back/converted garage with the pool table and kicking it room. The front deck and yard were AMAZING to take in the ocean and gorgeous weather. Plenty of seating everywhere. Front yard was great for bocce and other yard games. Kitchen was large and had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and just about every bedroom had its own bathroom attached. Seemed like tvs were everywhere if needed but we only used the one in the main living room. Place looks like it was recently remodeled and the boat theme was super cool. Some windows couldn't open or stay open but enough did to take in that ocean breeze. Loved the lighting everywhere. Nice and bright if needed. Jacuzzi was a great way to end the evenings. Off street parking was available if needed but the back secured parking area can fit a lot of cars. Think we had 6 at any given time and still space. The automatic back gate for cars was nice for security although the area seems quite safe. Our family really loved it. The daily sunsets were a hit. It was my mom's 77th birthday and she couldn't have asked for more. We'll be back for sure.

We stayed at this amazing property and had an incredible time. Not only was it beautiful on the inside, but it was also just as incredible to spend time in the outside space. The beds were really comfortable, tons of space to entertain and have fun and the most incredible views of the ocean to enjoy every night. This property exceeded our expectations in every way and had all we could need and more. Highly recommend!

Amazing location and views!

The Boathouse is exactly as described! Lots of room and fully furnished, the Boathouse is beautiful from top to bottom. Laundry room had detergent, bathrooms had extra TP and plenty of towels. The location is fantastic and close to many major sights and the views from the Cliffs are super. What a way to start the day! House is also walkable to the local downtown with cafes, restaurants and Rite Aid. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Absolutely no complaints!
