Nice place

We enjoyed our visit to beachcomber hideaway. Convenient location with parking on the street. The unit is clean and well maintained. The beach is a short walk but we found having a car is best for all the sights and activities that are in the area.

Our week in La Jolla

La Jolla is beautiful. Sea Lions and the cove were a delight. Location on Gravilla is close to the waves and a nice walk to endless entertainment options.

A Whisper Away From the Beach

The location makes this place worth it, no question. It's just up the hill from Windansea Beach, so you can dart down to stroll, scramble over the rocks, set out your towel or watch pelicans. It is small (*really* small on rainy days!) and the kitchen fixings are very basic. The neighborhood has largely kept its charm, but there is lots of new construction (which, alas, could be loud.) Really glad we chose this overall.

Sweet spot

We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach multiple times each day, and having stores and restaurants close was a plus. Comfortable, well equipped and clean. I would recommend this property.

Wind and Sea

Small but ok for a week! Entrance not very nice as you go past several garbage cans. Some things that should be addressed are as follows. Both chairs on the patio have broken seats! Beach chairs are rusty and very dirty. Front of the sink in the kitchen is peeling and needs repair. It could be a nice spot as the location is great. Just needs some attention to detail.

Damaged and some bugs

I have stayed with Sharon in the past but at a different property…This particular property was run down and damaged. I was disappointed with this property. It needs some work. Upon arrival, there were bugs on the bed, not bed bugs… but other bugs and bugs in other areas within the place. Nice patio space for relaxing. The kitchen had some damage and had an odd smell. Decent location but run down and the wiring for the patio lights were cut and damaged.

OK for first time in San Diego

First time in San Diego, stayed here for 7 nights.Location is phenomenal. So close to the beach and I visited the ocean everyday.Pictures are not up to date - the space is more worn down than the pictures. There was a big roach in the bathroom my first night, some of the dishes weren’t clean, dirty dish sponge, and the space clearly could use a more thorough clean. This it put me off from the space a bit. I told the host and she was able to put up roach traps and put a new dishwasher sponge. I later ended up killing the roach. The space is small but has a good layout. Pillows for the bed sucked. Overall, not worth the money & would not recommend for extended stays unless the space is refurbished a bit. But it was decent for a first timer who didn’t know better.

Repeat visitor

This was our third stay. Here are the pros. Location & Price. You can’t beat it! However, it is warm without AC. Warm weather attracts flies and the unit is next to the garbage bins. The bed is just too low for me. Now if you can get past these cons this will be the place for you. We have done it three summers in a row and really enjoyed it. We stayed the longest this trip. 10 days!!! Now 10 days in 250 sf is not for everyone. But the beach is right down the street so that makes everything else better. We would return again. Love it if it would be able to be rented for a long weekend verses the 7 day minimum.

Could use a little work

First of all, let me say the location is great. That's the positive. But otherwise, I wasn't impressed. The photos of this place were clearly taken years ago when it was newly renovated. The place has since gone downhill without proper maintenance, and it shows everywhere. It's a place that was once cute but no longer is. Light fixtures with missing/broken bulbs (which made the place dark), dirty dishes in the cabinets (we had to wash every single thing we used prior to using it), water damage in the kitchen, heavily mildewed and faded sunshades outdoors, overgrown and unkempt patio with burnt out light bulbs strung about, a grill literally rusted through with holes, etc. With a 1000 investment and a day or two of work, this place could be spruced up and made to look quite cute again. But it seems the owners are content to just take the rental income and let the place kind of fall apart. My wife and I were kind of disappointed we didn't just get a room at chain hotel a half block away.

Perfect for a couple with a small dog

We enjoyed our stay at Beachcomber. The apartment is small, but it had everything we needed to have a comfortable week long stay. The kitchen is great with a full size range and all the equipment we needed. The living room has a small sectional that opened to a queen bed size so we could comfortably relax while watching YouTube TV. It was nice that the apartment had a smart tv and some streaming services to use. The bedroom was small and tight, but the mattress was conformable and bedding was good quality. It is noteworthy to mention the bed is very low. The private patio was a good size and quite lovely with the privacy trees and rustic brick pavers. We had our dog with us, so the patio was a godsend to allow him freedom to roam and get fresh air. There are also patio furnishings for dining and lounging. The weather was cool and breezy so with the windows opened, we had wonderful airflow and coolness. Parking was surprisingly easy and accessible within just a couple of driveways away. The check in process was easy and locking up was worry free. The Windansea Beach was 2 blocks away. The area was not too busy during the week and on weekends it was slightly busy. We enjoyed this beach much more than at some of the larger san diego beaches. There was plenty of restaurants and grocery shops within walking distance. Larger chain stores were just a few minutes drive away as well. This was our first time to the La Jolla area and we loved it. We hope to stay again next year.

The wind and sea area is lovely. This place is a block from the beach with surfing nearby. The place is smaller than it looks on line but totally serviceable. We really appreciated the Landry and all the restaurants and the walk ability of La Jolla.

Wonderful location

This property is located in a beautiful neighborhood 1 block from the fabulous Windansea Beach. The apartment made very good use of the square footage and was roomy enough for our needs. The back patio added to the feeling of space. Nice remodel, comfortable bed. 2 of us stayed there 2 weeks and would stay there again. The only negative aspect is entering the building you walk through the trash can alley to get to the door. But we always felt safe and enjoyed coming ‘home’ to the cozy apartment.

Review of Beachcomber

The location was great! It was near the shoreline and quiet. The private patio was nice. Very clean, but small, with mirrored walls in every room, which made it appear larger online. It was quite stark in terms of supplies. It would have been nice to have coffee filters, coffee, creamer, and sugar/sweetener. Additionally, there was a lack of bar soap and shampoo in the bathroom. We were required to resupply the toilet paper, trash bags, and wash the beach towels. We also had to rearrange the furnishings to fit the essential floor fan into the cramped bedroom. A pool was mentioned online, but there was none.

Great private place with easy beach walk.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable stay. Easy walk to the beach and to many eating options. Short drive to the La Jolla Village and many eating and shopping options. The nearby beach is dramatic and beautiful. This cottage had everything we needed.

The location is great and the apartment is perfect for 1-2 people. The only thing I would improve is that some items like the laundry basket or kitchen utensils should be replaced. It is well equipped with cookware and silverware.
