About this apartment rental

The Dolphin is a rocks throw away from Law Street beach located at the north end of Pacific Beach. This is a great beach to learn how to surf or ride the waves on the boogie boards provided. San Diego Surf School gives surf lessons right outside your door. If surfing isn't your thing, there is plenty of sand for you to lay out and get tan. This property has great outdoor space to BBQ and enjoy the southern California sun. Also included in this rental, a small garage for parking, boogie boards, beach chairs, sand toys, cooler and wagon. Garage dimensions are 93 inches wide, 15.5 feet long, 83 inches tall.

In addition to the beach being just steps away, the boardwalk starts at Law St. and takes you 3 miles along the coastline through Pacific Beach and Mission Beach. You can enjoy the view of the homes along the water or stop and do some shopping or eating at one of the many places along the way. Make your way to Belmont Park and ride the roller coaster, or practice catching some waves on the artificial waves at Wavehouse Restaurant and Bar. If you don't want to try it, watch others while you eat some food and enjoy some nice cold beverages. Just 3 miles north is downtown La Jolla where you can kayak in the caves in La Jolla Shores, or check out the seals off Coast Blvd. Seaworld is just minutes away. Head just a few miles south and check out Old Town or just a couple more miles you can explore downtown San Diego. There is a plethora of nightlife, shopping, dining choices and so much more. Attractions in both San Diego and neighboring La Jolla are easily accessible from this Dolphin beach Walk getaway!

As you walk through the gate and up some stairs, there is a large, shared patio area with some tables and chairs as well as 1 BBQ for you to enjoy during your stay. The Dolphin is the first condo right off the patio with the large windows to bring in lots of light. When you enter, you walk into the living room that feels nice and bright with all the windows. There is a leather sofa, matching armchair and a large" flat screen TV.  The living room in open to the kitchen which is fully stocked with everything you need to cook any meal. If you want to eat your food inside, there is a small dining table for two, and/or bar stools you can use to sit at the breakfast bar. Don't forget, you can take your food outside and enjoy the Southern California weather at the patio tables and chairs. If it's too sunny, the umbrellas can provide you with the necessary shade. The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, gas stove, built-in microwave, and a small dishwasher (many other small appliances) so you don't have to waste any time doing dishes.

Each bedroom has 1 queen bed, perfect for two couples or a small family. The bedrooms are very similar in size however, one of them has a small TV. A cozy bathroom with granite countertop, and tub/shower combo providing you with just enough space to wash up.

    LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!We really enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, walking distance to boardwalk, bars and restaurants. The one car garage came in handy for beach items provided. The unit had all necessary items to make it a comfortable stay. Communication was A. Will definitely stay, again!

    This property is a gem. You can hear the waves at night, birds in the morning, and is a short walk to everything. The owner is a great communicator before the stay and the place has everything a small family needs for a stress free vacation. Thank you again... making teenagers happy is a chore and you guys made it easy!

    My wife and daughter stayed here last year and loved the location and I totally agree. Short walk and you are on the boardwalk and heading down the ramp to the beach. So nice with young kids where you are always walking back for something. My wife preferred the next door unit since it had the two beds in one room but we just used the blow up mattress and it worked great.I also love that it is at the end of the boardwalk so it isn't as crazy as other spots, once again nice for the kids. We will probably be back next year...

    What a wonderful piece of property. Conveniently located to beach, shops, and restaurants. Could walk to many places. Enjoyed ocean views. Located in a happening place of fun and food, and for sightseeing north and south San Diego. Vacation rental very clean. Loved the outdoor seating. Worth a return. Good info provided about size of garage, and we had a small car that fit. Glad we had it, and the garage.
