Fantastic Location

This property’s location was awesome - only about 1-2 blocks from the beach and boardwalk but far enough away for things to be pretty quiet. Also very close to many bars/restaurants. The home had everything we needed and the beds were super comfy.

Tiny Clean Getaway

My daughter and I stayed a few days before she began her studies at SDSU. Steps away from the bay and the beach, it was quite convenient. The property is itty bitty, but quite comfortable with all the home away from home amenities needed to cook, sleep, lounge and relax.

It was the right size, with the right amenities and in a perfect location. Close to great restaurants The Olive, Molly’s, Mission and Guava Beach Cafe. The coffee shop next door gets you up early, but so close to enjoy fresh coffee each morning. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beach getaway for 30th bday

Stay was great at an amazing location is amazing. I wish the host did a better job emphasizing how to prepare for parking if you arrive midday. I also recommend adding a pillow topper to the mattress (which was very firm) and some additional lighting throughout the space.

Perfect/most vibey little spot

This beach house was the perfect/most vibey little spot for our end of summer family trip! We brought our 9 month old and 2.5 year old and has the BEST time ever! So cozy and accommodating and right in the heart of anything you could want! There’s no shortage of options for breakfast, coffee, dinner, shopping right smack between the ocean and the bay. We felt so at home which says a lot when having two little kiddos away from their routine, beds, etc! I wish I could give this experience more stars because we made lifelong memories and are so grateful.
