About this property

Charming Beach One-Bedroom, Available NOW! AMAZING DEAL! Now to February 10!

Located in North Mission Beach, at 739 Yarmouth Court, San Diego, CA, this is a Charming One-bedroom Condo on the ground floor with a kitchenette & service for 4, a bath, a living room, a bedroom and an adjacent lush patio with brand new Saltillo tile! It is one unit of a 2 unit home with it's own entrance..
It is the perfect economical alternative to a hotel stay for a couple or a small family, (with only one small quiet child - a crib is available). Only steps to the sand, (about 200 feet), on a quiet courtyard we're also just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and a myriad of outdoor activities...and it's really nice! There’s so much to do here and enjoy. .
If you're here in San Diego please come by and take a look.
Now with a New Samsung TV and a reworked entertainment center, a Brand New Dresser in the bedroom, a new Fire/CO fire extinguisher and the couch has been professionally cleaned with new foam in the seat cushions. The Place is REALLY NICE! And a real deal if you find me: David Lombardi, Architect/Builder, Mission Beach, San Diego.
Please check the calendar for availability. Oh ya, did I mention it's really nice?! ...and it's beautiful here now!
Small group functions may be allowed with prior owner written permission.

Perfect San Diego location

We chose this property as our friends were staying nearby and this turned out to be a perfect place for our week on the beach. Just a couple of minutes to the boardwalk and beachfront, with a supermarket only 10 minutes walking time away with many bars and restaurants within the same area. The property provided all the amenities we needed which added to our enjoyment of our time in San Diego.

Very Small/ no parking- but beach is nice and accessible

Bedroom was teensy. Unable to walk around it. Had to shimmy in & out Kitchen- appliances put up way too high, unable to access. And absolutely no parking. Owner said it wouldn’t be a problem since it was off season- still had to park several blocks away. Can’t imagine how far away you would park if summer. And there were ants, in both kitchen and bathroom. Owner seemed surprised but there was ant spray underneath the kitchen sink

Skeptical owner involvement

On first arrival, the owner was there to meet us to let us in. He provided a list of many rules for our stay and gave us the door code. Two days later, we receive a note that states he asked us to please turn off lights when we left and that we had not three times. This was extremely unsettling because it made us feel like we were being watched or he was entering the property while we were gone with all of our belongings out. Our last night, he knocks on our door around 10 PM to ask us what humming noise we were making and he walks through the door to look around. I was asleep in the bedroom with my white noise playing and my mom was in the living room. They weren’t sure what caused the noise and he leaves. Approximately 10 minutes later, he comes back and knocks on the door to ask again what the humming is and says he can hear it on the side of the wall. He asked my mom multiple questions and it finally occurred to her it must be my white noise playing so he leaves again. The next morning he comes back down again to bring us a vaccum to clean the apartment with. The place was not properly cleaned on our arrival, with a dirty bathroom and hair still in the shower from a prior guest. The shower also does not drain well and the water quickly accumulated. Altogether, his behavior made us feel unsettled and like we were being watched during our stay.

This property is in a great spot. Super close to the beach and well within walking distant of some great food/drink options as well as the grocery store. David was always available and helpful.

You Get What You Pay For

SD near the beach is pricey, so this unit is cheaper than most. But it is funky. Coffee maker was filthy, kitchen very inefficient, bbq so old and dirty as to be unusable, outdoor furniture old. And part of the rental agreement is that you have to vacuum and mop the floors before checking out--really!

Very Disappointing

David was rude, disrespectful & unprofessional from the beginning of this rental. My vacation was scheduled from Tuesday-Tuesday and he wanted me to pay to change my flight so he wouldn’t lose $800! I was not able to do that so he sent me a very unprofessional message about the situation. He made me wait until the final hour to accept my reservation and then forwarded his rental agreement. I had a question about additional money owed to him at arrival but he would not answer my question and referred me to what he says is a self explanatory rental agreement. Since he would not answer my question I went direct to VRBO who told me I was paid in full and would not owe him any more money. When I contacted him about that he sent an email to me from his personal account informing me VRBO has no jurisdiction over what he charges tenants renting his property and if I couldn’t understand, said I needed help! He charges the tenant the fees he’s charged from VRBO. That is a business expense that he pushes off to the tenant. The cleanliness of the unit is not acceptable. The unit smells musty and did not resolve when the window was open. There is black mold in the shower, around the windows and under the bathroom sink, bedroom carpet needs shampooing, ceiling fans are full of dust. He provided a nasty, dirty used sponge at the kitchen sink that should be thrown away, sofa is soiled. The silverware drawer was dirty with black dirt or coffee.I have pics if needed

Great getaway location

Super easy check-in process and a great, quiet location for 2 people, with just a short walk right to the boardwalk and beach if you want to be in the action. Dave lives in the home above the rental so he usually checks in once a day on his comings and goings and he is always responsive to texts if you need anything. As he is a longtime resident and the architect of many of the homes in the area, he has great info on places and activities to enjoy. We enjoyed people watching on the boardwalk wall and the different vibe that each day would bring. Everything you could need within walking distance and we enjoyed exploring the beach community with a comfortable place to come back to and relax.

Great location with some concerns about property

The location is wonderful and the place is cute. The MAIN concern is he told if we left the heater on at night we may not wake up in the morning because of the gas being pumped into the home. We stayed in February and it was freezing in the place. We were skeptical he was lying to avoid paying a larger gas bill, but either way, it was worrisome and we did not leave the heat running for long periods of time....and FROZE. There is NO carbon monoxide detector in the home. We asked for an early check-in and for a $40 fee we were able to do that. We were running late and he texted me upset that we were not there yet, that he had been waiting. It had only been an hour. If he were willing to give us the check-in instructions, he would not have had to wait. The place could use a very thorough cleaning, especially the blinds in the bedroom and blinds on one side of the house in the living room, there is film on those and on every glass framed piece of art in the place. You do need to clean the property before you leave or he will charge you $75 fee. That includes sweeping, mopping, stripping the bed and vacuuming the bedroom. I believe this is the clean that he does prior to the next guest.....he does not have a cleaning crew....but, claims he does. If he did, the place would be much cleaner. We would have stayed again with a note privately to David on these concerns. But, at the end of the stay he knocks you with a percentage fee that he does not want to absorb from the short term company, so you get stuck with that. That was the cherry on top of a "alright" stay that I felt we should warn people what they will be getting themselves into. He just needs to take a little time and better effort on the customer service of things, because the place is so cute and in a great location. I didn't want to knock him too hard....but, people should know the truth.

About the host

Host profile image
I'm an architect/builder. I built this house single-handed, literally. I made the rental place much nicer than a hotel room - much! I'm sure you'll like it.
The vacation rental unit also allows me to meet great folks from all over the planet, which I love. ...and I painted the living room/kitchen, (8/21) and the bedroom, (10/21).

Why they chose this property

I wanted a beach house in San Diego. Who doesn't? It was just a termite ridden shack when I bought it, but I built it into something very nice. Come and enjoy!

What makes this property unique

NOTE: Even with the pandemic mostly behind us I am still washing every piece of bedclothes from the mattress cover through the sheets, bedspread, blankets, down comforter and even the pillows between each rental. (Yes, it takes all day and 5 loads of laundry to do so). Additionally I am wiping down all countertops, door knobs, entertainment equipment fridge, microwave and the entire bathroom with Clorox disinfectant spray. The shower gets treated with Clorox/Tilex anti-mildew/mold spray which is also a powerful disinfectant capable of killing Staphyloccocus aureus, (Staph), Streptococcus pyogenes, (Strep), Trichophyton mentagrophytes, (Athlete's foot), and Aspergilus niger. In short, I am doing everything I can think of to make the place clean.
