No washer and dryer. No air conditioning. No problem. :)This was a fantastic place. Very short walk to the beach. A couple hundred feet? Easy to walk back and forth to the beach if you want to for lunch or dinner, etc... Also a short enjoyable walk along the beach to grocery store or great places to eat. Free access to rentals for bikes and such. 6 minute drive to sea world.We booked this place to be out all day and it was perfect for that. Beach and Sea world for us. Only complaint is we didn't put on enough sun screen.We had a BBQ at the place, great patio. Great beds and hide-a-bed couch. Wonderful weather in San Diego (most boring job in the world is a weatherman in San Diego). We were here four days. There are places you can store your luggage if you arrive before check-in or stay after checkout.Place was clean. Super close to the beach. I parked my suburban (tight). You need a reserved parking spot in this area and so this was great. If you have more than two cars coming that would be tough. But it handled the suburban fine, I just let the wife and kids out before I parked. Ask about the laundry if you need it before you rent. We usually like to have access to a washer dryer but this was a short trip so no bother really.

Great check in and out! Comfy bed! Such a good location between the beach and the bay! Loved having beach towels, chairs, toys and an umbrella provided! Stocked kitchen - enough supplies to make an Easter meal! Bright and clean place to stay!Condo was very hot during the day even though outside temperatures were in the 70s. Windows needed to be open and all fans needed to be used. Lots of airplane noise overhead. Very tight parking spots.

Great communication with the host and it was a very comfortable place to stay. King size bed in the master bedroom was great.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2022
Check in was 3:00 PM but the cleaning company was there until 3:45. The place was not clean. One of the beds was covered in black hairs and there were dead flies everywhere. There is no A/C, which is listed in the information, but buried when it should be up front. Information sent prior to check in implies there is A/C, a W/D, and D/W. This place has none of those. The kitchen is minuscule and missing common items like a colander and oven mitts. The location is absolutely lovely, but it was a disappointing trip overall, especially for the price.
