Nice Condo

The condo was cozy just enough space for our small family of four. The private jacuzzi was a great time at the end of the day. Lots of local spots to eat or grab a drink and the beach was walking distance which was also nice.

Great location and space!

My husband and I stayed for a week to visit our first grandchild. The location is close to everything you need in PB and a short ride to La Jolla, which I always like to visit. The space was perfect for the two of us and we used the seating area outside every morning to have our coffee, which by the way there are plenty of good coffee shops (like Java Earth) close by. Of course, the is a coffee machine and coffee provided, but we liked walking to get our coffee every morning.The space is clean and gives you everything you need. I would definitely stay there again!

A real Gem

My wife and I stayed here for s couple weeks this winter. The location is great, a quiet neighborhood north of the main action in Pacific Beach. But there were also several great bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The apartment is cozy, but perfect for two people. Kim was very responsive when we had a glitch and it was cleared up quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location with hot tub and garage parking

The apartment was in a great location and we especially enjoyed the hot tub and having a garage to park in. The kitchen needs updating but for the price, you can’t beat it. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location and host!

We really liked this place. It was so simple to check in and out, and we were in a very central location. I loved the use of the hot tub! It’s not super private but the people nearby were not nosey or loud. We really liked it!

Great Patio and outdoor living

We enjoyed our stay at Kim’s place. We know the North PB area and Kim’s has a typical alley entrance, but the location is quite, has its own garage and private entrance. The place is spacious with a nice bedroom and comfortable bed. The best part is the large comfortable patio, which is unique in this area. There are a number of coffee shops and restaurants within a short walk and beaches are walkable, too. Good value.

Exactly what I was looking for!

Perfect location for a morning coffee and beach stroll. Less than 10 min. walk to Tourmaline surf park and plenty of unique coffee & food options along the way. Super easy to get to/from the airport and the highway. We did leave SD a few times so having the garage parking made leaving easy and stress free. The place itself is cute and quaint and had the basics which was good enough for us. The private patio area and hot tub is an awesome feature, definitely wish we had more time to enjoy that space. Overall I’d absolutely stay here again, the host was helpful and easy to contact.

Clean and comfortable. We were surprised to learn that there was no central air in this unit. However, once we got a little more acclimated to the climate, the space was comfortable with all of the fans provided.

Pacific Beach stay

Short walking distances to a great market and a great French bakery - can’t beat that. Nice clean hot tub in a pleasant courtyard although not very private - visible from two upstairs apartments right next door. The kitchen was decent although not as well appointed as some we stayed at. Close to some good restaurants on Cass Street. The two tv’s could have benefitted from some written instructions for the more technically challenged. We would stay here again.

Gem in the best SD neighborhood

Nestled in a great location straddling Pacific Beach and La Jolla, this place is a hidden gem with a private outdoor space, lots of natural light, and a hot tub! Stone's throw from a surf/coffee shop, grocery store, gas station, etc and walking distance to the beach (I surfed after I logged off working remote each day and just walked down in my bare feet). We took advantage of eating out the whole week, but the stove is a little dated for those looking to cook). Will stay again next time we are in San Diego, thanks!

Meh, it was ok

This place is adequate. It was clean. Bedroom is nice. Kitchen desperately needs to be updated (w a dishwasher). It’s kind of a cave with limited light. Neighbors are too close. It did the trick, but I wouldn’t stay again.
