About this apartment rental

Crystal’s See the Sea Condo | 2BR/2BA by Crystal Pier, Boardwalk, Hot Tub & Parking

Welcome to Crystal’s See the Sea Condo, a beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo located directly on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach, just steps from the iconic Crystal Pier. Remodeled in late 2022, this home features refreshed bathrooms, updated kitchen appliances, and new living room furnishings for a comfortable and modern beach stay.

If you want to be a part of all the action in PB, then this is the place to be! This condo is located in the See the Sea oceanfront complex, so nothing separates you from the beach except the boardwalk and soft white sand—putting the ocean, surf, and coastal energy right outside your door.

Located in the heart of Pacific Beach, you’ll be surrounded by restaurants, cafés, shops, and nonstop beach activity. The private balcony (corner view, not directly oceanfront) offers a lively outlook over the boardwalk and ocean—perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks with built-in entertainment. If you enjoy people watching, then look no further!

>>Please note: This condo is located in a very active area with nearby bars and restaurants, so some nighttime noise should be expected. To help minimize this, the condo is equipped with double-paned windows and doors. On warmer nights, we recommend renting a portable A/C unit to keep the space cool while keeping windows closed; portable fans are also available in the closets for added comfort. We additionally provide white noise machines and earplugs. Due to the potential for nighttime noise, this property may not be ideal for families with young children or light sleepers. Opening the doors and windows allows for a wonderful sea breeze, but noise levels will be noticeably higher when they are open. We encourage guests to review prior guest feedback and reach out with any questions to ensure this property is a good fit for your group.

This first-floor condo sits above the gated parking garage and is accessible by elevator. Inside, the open California-style kitchen includes new appliances, a breakfast bar with seating for four, and flows into the dining and living areas. The dining table seats 4–6 guests and can be moved to allow the Murphy bed to open for additional sleeping space.

• Primary Bedroom: King bed with private ensuite bathroom

Only complaint is the front door entrance was very difficult to open after code was entered. Master bathroom door would not latch and bedroom door sticks. The ocean view from the patio was sensational watching the sunset. Property itself does not have an ocean view but is right on the boardwalk steps from the sand. No air conditioning and like so many other reviews the noise from two bars right next to it went on till 2:00 am and prevented us from opening windows at night. Would definitely stay here again. For senior citizens the process to book was a little difficult.

It was nice but the music from the bars across the street was very loud until 2:00 AM And the rooms were very hot
6.0 / 10.0
This property is not air conditioned. The listing is very misleading. We were charged an additional 500/week to add portable room air conditioners to the bedrooms and the living areas and bathrooms were not air conditioned.The condo and location are great otherwise, but we would not have rented a unit without A/C for a two week stay in August.
6.0 / 10.0
Really convienent location, but I should have read the listing better. AC is only available for an extra cost and it is to loud to sleep with the windows open.
10.0 / 10.0
The check in process was confusing because I didn’t receive an email with information until I requested it. However, when we did receive it, The email was very thorough and helpful.The location to the beach was nice and they had beach chairs, boogie boards. Beach toys and beach towels for us to use. We also appreciated the hot tub. Being able to park in a gated garage was more worth it than we thought. There is a bar across the street that gets noisy, but the hosts provide ear plugs if needed. We played white noise on our phone and it helped. This was the only negative thing I can think of.We were a family of 7 and used every bed.
8.0 / 10.0
This location is amazing as it's basically right on the beach and within walking distance to essentially everything you need. It is extremely noisy at night as both windows face bars that are open until 2 A.M. plus the stragglers after they close. They do warn you about the noise and they are serious. My suggestion would be to pay the extra for the air conditioners to drown out the noise and so you don't have to open the windows. Parking is extremely convenient, and the communication is excellent. Even though it was extremely noisy to all hours of the night, I would stay again and try the air conditioners with the windows closed.

Everything as advertised. Central to Crystal pier and restaurants.

Great remodeled unit. Nice location. Just beware unit is right on the end so you get all the noise from the bars and street. Cant leave windows open at night.
