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.

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 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!

not as advertised

Generally a fiasco. Upon arrival the door code did not work and it took several calls and maybe 30 mins to get the correct code. We had to wait outside with our luggage after a long day of traveling. There is NO street parking- only narrow alleyways. The garage door code did not work either. Mgr suggested opening manually but the pull was removed. It didn’t matter anyway bc the garage was occupied by a boat trailer, to the surprise of the property mgr. We were also told the garage did not fit large SUVs. Imagine our delight. There is no overnight public parking nearby (signs say they will tow). Property Mgr eventually got us permission to park in a neighbors spot, which is good bc we would have had to get a hotel. The inside of the property was no was no better. The screen door and latch were broken. Many outlets did not work. Not fun when it’s December, there’s no heat, and you can’t plug in the space heater. Walls are partially painted/painted over dirt. Ceiling, wall decor and fixtures are very dusty. Furniture is aged. I wouldn’t recommend. Pics online do not reflect condition of the property. (I took my own!) Definitely some editing there! Not worth the price whatsoever. This is a place for some kids to crash near the beach and nothing more. Must say that the property manager was very nice despite all of this.

Mike's Place review

Mike's Place is basic, nothing fancy, but it's super clean and quite close to the ocean. Communication by the host was excellent. But that said, they might consider a couple things for improvement: supply some coffee and/or tea for guests; and amend the check-in and check-out times. We're all used to 3pm check-in and 11am check-out times, but their 4pm check-in time and 10am check-out are a bit extreme and cuts 6 hours out of a 2 day booking. We were offered an early check-in, but had already made plans and were notified so late, that we weren't able to take advantage of it. Also, if it's cold, be aware, there are a couple of space heaters in the closets. Overall, a good experience

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 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, roomy and clean!

The place was wonderful and nicely located. There is parking, the bus stop is a few steps away, and it's in front of the beach. The cookware is a little outdated, but everything else was amazing!! We enjoyed staying there. Highly recommended.

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!

We enjoyed our stay very much! So close to all activities. Walkable and driving distance. All appliances worked great! The only thing I would recommend to update are the beach chairs. Not overly awesome. Would love to have more and regular size.

Close to beach

The house was really close to the beach. It could use some TLC but for the most part the beds were comfortable, the house had one towel, and one beach towel for each of us, but no extra, which was fine as we were only there for two days. It is a little tricky getting your car in the garage as the houses are close together, but it did fit our Traverse. The beach and restaurant are all within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

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
