Spring Break getaway
My family and I decided to go to San Diego for spring break. I booked this place based on reviews of location and we could not be happier. This was just steps away from the beach. My wife and I shared the main bed in bedroom 1 and my 2 kids had their own bed in 2nd bedroom. The couch could have been another option if needed. It was upstairs so we left windows open at night to get some of the ocean breeze and sat outside on the patio to enjoy the weather. Overall we will definitely book this location again in future.

DO NOT BOOK - UNINHABITABLE
Simply put, the worst VRBO I’ve ever stayed in - an absolute dump. Upon check in, discovered rodent feces on top of the bed sheets. Attempted to contact host, but immediately redirected to Vacasa, the property manger. Vacasa was an automated response or outsourced, promising to have “the local team” contact me asap. Cleaned up feces, attempted to take a shower only to discover no hot water and black mold in the shower. Again contacted Vacasa, only to receive absolutely no response. No hot water for three days, and when leaving ran into the plumber sent to change out the hot water heater who stated based on the leak in the bottom it had been out for many days. Bottom line, this VRBO is unsafe and uninhabitable. It’s in violation of numerous City of San Diego life safety codes and should have it’s short term rental license revoked. DO NOT book, and I’d recommend avoiding all properties managed by Vacasa.

Poorly maintained & omissions in listing, good location
I should have trusted the multiple warnings in prior reviews. Here are my noticings. --The front door was very sticky to open and shut. Needs maintenence. --The carbon monoxide detector had low batteries and the management asked me to push a temporary silence button instead of offering to replace the batteries. Unsafe. --There was black mold on the shower window ledge. Unsightly and unsafe. --The bathroom towel rack and exhaust fan are still broken as prior reviewers noted. The paint is still peeling. Unmaintained. --The ceiling fan light in the back bedroom randomly turned on multiple times a night and woke up the people sleeping in the room. Uncomfortable. --The dishwasher would not dispense the detergent from the main detergent container. We had to wash dishes by hand. Bothersome. --The outdoor patio and grill are shared by three rental units. This makes it challenging to plan your meal times. Unclearly listed. --The hot water runs out after two average length showers. Plan your personal hygiene schedules accordingly. --The shared washer and dryer are on the left side of the garage and the other renter parked a long SUV in their side so we couldn't access the washer and dryer while they were parked in the garage. Inconvenient. --Overall this is akin to a worn out 1 star motel with an added kitchen, dining table, and living room. --Great location close to the beach! Loud till the neighbors quiet down late at night.

Perfect Location
We enjoyed our stay at this rental. The home is older and there are parts that could use a total remodel (the bathroom) however, we had everything in the home we needed for our 5 night stay. The home was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen had the basics we needed. There were plenty of bath and beach towels. The beds were comfortable. The garage has beach umbrellas, beach toys, chairs and body boards for guests to use. The location is fabulous! Just a short walk to a park with a great play area, the beach, Belmont Park, Plunge, shopping and food. Grocery stores are a short 10 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again.

Outdated/Dangerous
This house is in an amazing location but fell way short in its amenities and comfort. The upper deck is riddled with holes in the decking causing a possible trip/fall hazard. Front metal security door is completely rusted. Broken towel racks, constantly running toilet that also was leaking at the base. During our stay it began to rain and the roof was leaking in four different areas. Water was dripping on the couch and we were unable to sit in that area. Maintenance arrived and dropped off two very large bins to collect the water, taking up more space in an already cramped area. Also, had to stand on the bed to turn on the light in the main bedroom as there was no switch on the wall. Overall, not very impressed for the price.

We had VRBO homes that were better furnished
When we tried to plug in the electric heater the circut for our whole house blew. So we had to do with only the big electric heater in the living room. We were cold inside and had to wear coats. There was on "Book of instructions" as we are used to in VRBO houses so we had no information on Trash days, and which can's we were to put our trash in. The roof leaked on the leather couch and in the window in the kitchen. There wasn't a sharp knife in the house and the only measuring cup was a 1/3 cup measure. It would be handy to have a 1cup measurer. Also there was no lids for the sauce pans. The TV in the twin bed room didn't work but that didn't bother us. It might bother some people. The beds were very comfortable. Thank you

The location of the property right next to the beach along with the available parking cannot be beat! The house itself is basic and lacked many basic features. The bathroom fan does not work, the toilet runs after flushing, the kitchen lacks many items to make it comfortable for cooking. The upstairs deck is shared with another unit which was a surprise, it does provide a few of the ocean which as highly sought after. If you are looking for nothing fancy and want to be close to the ocean this is the place to rent, if you are not tolerant of noise and busy activity, (pedestrian walkway in front of house) then do not rent this place. Trash trucks come by each morning at 7:00 and are very loud. Loved the place although we will not stay there again.

It was perfect for us!
It was just great! What we expected and even a little more, awesome grill, great location, secure garage, the surrounding people renting were friendly (active and social like us as should be expected for that area), extra blankets (we got bad weather that week of all things), and we read reviews prior to arriving to bring coffee pods because keurig but short supply of coffee. I like to cook, so I brought my own salt, pepper, and spices. Thank you, it was a great place, I like that it’s older cabinets and such, and I plan to rent there again!

Short stay
The description on line is accurate. Only items listed are in the house. We were surprised by the lack of K-cup coffee at least enough for 1 morning. We brought coffee, not K-cups. No basics, salt and pepper? No “ welcome book” no suggestions on stores, dining,etc. Great location! for beach goers.

Not bad Not Great
First of all, this is Not a bungalow. This is a second floor apartment with shared outdoor spaces. The street was not marked so I had to go around the block a couple times. It was nice to have a garage spot - the code worked easily. The gate latch Is rusty just like another review mentioned. The directions spoke of a lock box code- after several frustrating attempts of trying the code on the box, I checked the door where there was another lock where the code worked. The door has something brown spattered on it…. The good: I liked the vintage feel and appreciated the wood beam ceilings, cabinets and enclosed porch which was very cute with slanted windows. The couch was comfortable, the place was clean. It was 50 yards from the beach. The not so good (for me) Of the many rentals I have stayed at this was only one of two that offered no coffee or tea or little welcome basket. Nada. The decor was minimal and dated - this was not a showplace😉 No rugs just cold tile floor. I get it though - strange peeps are coming thru. I stayed here alone and first tried the second bedroom but the one bed was deeply uncomfortable. I ended up in the master/king. No place to put your suitcase or the extra bed pillows except the floor. The ad states a queen and a double I think? They were the same size and not queens from my perspective? I can’t comprehend 6 adults staying here. One of the dressers was missing a knob (found in the dresser) and a light was out in the bathroom. I am 5”11 and had to crouch to wash my hair under the low shower head. The neighbors downstairs were somewhat noisy until about 11pm. It is located about a block from an amusement park - if you have kids this might be perfect. I thought this was expensive and with the bare bones overall lack of charm, I would not stay here again.

Eh
The location is fantastic. The property is very bare bones. A few inexpensive additions/changes would make it much better. There should be pictures of the garage parking, at night it was difficult to locate. The gate has rusty hardware, that’s a cheap fix. The door code was not correct. There are actually 2 doors- a storm door and a main door- the different doors have different codes and we were not given both. The house wasn’t very well cleaned. The silverware and plates all seemed somewhat gross- when we went to run the dishwasher we found the unused tab in the pocket- maybe the dishes weren’t washed and put away?? There are no hangers to hang anything up. The light switches don’t all work. We needed a can opener and there wasn’t one. The beds had a thin sheet and a motel type comforter- it would have been nice to have more blankets and better quality blankets. The patio furniture outside was all rusted. It is an amazing location, but the comfort level and interior could use some improving. We use vrbo pretty frequently and this was, by far, our least comfortable stay.
