Very welcoming! The place is gorgeous and was clean.
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
The highlight of this condo is, without a question, the incredible view. Whether it was morning coffee or sunset, the scenery alone almost makes the stay worth it. Additionally, the location is unbeatable—we were central to everything and found it very easy to get around.The condo itself was clean and functional, but it is worth noting that the decor feels dated. While it didn't negatively impact our comfort, the interior doesn't quite match the premium feel of the view or the location.This rental is managed by a third-party agency outside of VRBO. This added an extra layer of complexity to the process, making the experience feel less smooth than a typical VRBO stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Fabulous condo! The views from this 11th story corner unit are stunning. It is directly on the ocean with a paved path along the ocean that goes for miles directly in front of the condo complex. There is a short ramp in front of the complex that goes directly to the beach and it is a great beach. There are tons of restaurants and cafes in walking distance of the condo. Every room has ocean views (except bathrooms). They have everything you need including equipment for making meals, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, enough coffee pods for 1-2 days, beach chairs, beach towels, lots of extra towels, beach toys….. Sofa, loveseat, recliner chairs, and beds are all very comfortable. We had lots of plans during our 6 day stay but found ourselves wanting to be back to the condo late afternoons to walk the beach and to see the stunning sunsets. We also just spent a few days hanging out. For plans in San Diego we did the hop on/off trolley tour the first day to figure out where we wanted to spend more time. We started it at Old Town and although the paid parking was filled up it was easy to find free street parking close by. The Zoo was fantastic but be sure to do the bus tour first to see layout and we got to see more animals up close as compared to walking which we did after the bus tour. The bus tour is included in the ticket and be sure to sit on the top. San Diego is a fabulous town, easy to drive in, and the people are very friendly.
