SD property

The stay was just fine, we had everything we needed and enjoyed how close it is to the beach. However, not having a dedicated parking spot was really hard. Parking is near non existent in the area because of all the people. We ended up getting a 130 ticket for parking somewhere we shouldnt have (not labeled well). The property is listed as being in a quiet neighborhood and we were reminded of this at check in. It really wasnt that quiet. The weekend included a lot of partying in nearby bars and the weekdays were pretty loud too. It didnt bother us but just wanted to throw it out there. We really enjoyed our stay. Thankyou

Tiny Clean Getaway

My daughter and I stayed a few days before she began her studies at SDSU. Steps away from the bay and the beach, it was quite convenient. The property is itty bitty, but quite comfortable with all the home away from home amenities needed to cook, sleep, lounge and relax.

Fantastic Location

This property’s location was awesome - only about 1-2 blocks from the beach and boardwalk but far enough away for things to be pretty quiet. Also very close to many bars/restaurants. The home had everything we needed and the beds were super comfy.

Great location and clean.

Great location. Cute and clean place. Was pretty noisy on Saturday night because it's so close to a bar, but not enough to keep us awake. Thankful there is parking available in the nearby park. AC stopped working but they responded pretty quickly.

Beach getaway for 30th bday

Stay was great at an amazing location is amazing. I wish the host did a better job emphasizing how to prepare for parking if you arrive midday. I also recommend adding a pillow topper to the mattress (which was very firm) and some additional lighting throughout the space.
