"Kim was prompt on her replies and very informative. The place it outstadnign. It has everythign you can think of, even over the counter cough medicine, sleep aid and such.

The only thing is the parking is super tight, almost to an uncomfortable spot. Although Kim offers alternatives i think in the...

"Great location. Clean & cute. Loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Walkable to many restaurants. Only downside is absolutely no view, but the location and the roominess outweighed having view. Adam was a great host !!! "

"We enjoyed how close to the beach the unit was. The location is perfect! It's the perfect size for a couple. We loved having access to the hot tub especially after a long day of walking the boardwalk. It would have been nice to have more towels on the unit since they wouldn't dry after showing . There were also times when the hot water wouldn't come on at all for wuite a while in the shower. Overall, it was a good experience. "

"This was the best place I have stayed with VRBO!! 10/10 stars. I felt safe, clean and comfortable bungalow, near eateries, shopping and the host was great! Communication with the host was awesome, they answered my call and kept me informed of little details of my rental. It’s a hour or so walk to Sunset Cliffs and worth it!! 20 minutes walk to dog beach & beach. I’d stay here again!! "

"We visited San Diego for spring break and this spot is in the PERFECT location! We have stayed at other places and it always seems to be a hassle to get around. We did have a rental car but didn’t use it until we left for LA. It was so nice to be walking distance to the beach, the bay, Belmont Park and plenty of restaurants! The owners were very quick to respond with any needs. The location is pretty busy late at night, thus it is a little noisy but our kids easily slept through it. Would...
