Cute studio in a great location. This is a small apartment below the owners home. The ocean is right out the door and you can easily walk to the beach or the bird rock shops and restaurants. This is my first vacation rental with the owners on the same premise. I was afraid it would be awkward and not private, but it’s not the case with this rental. The owners were very nice and respectful of our privacy. It was a perfect stay.

As former owners of a residential cleaning company I can confirm this property is very clean and tidy-they'd even steam cleaned the sofa prior to our arrival. This property is situated in a beautiful, quiet, serene neighborhood. The view from the front porch was incredible and the only foot traffic were families walking their dogs. My husband went walked to the beach view every early morning and evening to experience the tranquility. There was free parking in front of the apartment every day and we were tenants over holiday, 7/1-6. The drive to Pacific Beach was only 6 minutes, and 15 minutes to Mission Beach. It was really nice to be staying closely accessible to those beaches but in a much calmer upscale community. This is a renovated apartment and the owners do live in the main home above the apartment so you will occasionally here a chair moving or the dogs running. We never heard the home owners or their guests voices, music, or footsteps but we did hear the dogs excitedly start their morning play and a little bit of their evening play, however, it wasn't disruptive to us at all and we weren't spending much time at the apartment, rather just coming back to it late at night to sleep. There wasn't any interaction with home owners while coming and going, it was never awkward. They have their own entrance as does the apartment. They responded to text inquiries timely when I had a comment to share and wanted a recommendation to a sushi restaurant. We loved our stay here.

A wonderful visit! I could see the ocean from the patio. I have friends near by so I didn’t need a car at all. Everything was walkable, ocean parks, food, coffee. a variety of restaurants, some shopping, services. A beautiful neighborhood! Yes I could hear occasional noice from unit above. Overall 5 stars.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2024
The owners apparently live above the apartment so sometimes during the late hours you can hear them walking. Shower and bathroom is small and the shower head was not working properly. Me personally, I don't see staying here again. Location was great!
