great beach stay!
The location was perfect, we walked everywhere! The house was very cute, clean, comfortable. We loved having the outdoor areas with the grill and fire table. It was really nice to have a garage, it is small but we were able to get a Ford Edge into it, wouldn't go any bigger than that though! We would definitely stay here again!

Great spot!
Perfect spot for a beach getaway. 1 block off the pacific, easy walk to loads of restaurants, shopping, etc. The outside space with a shower was helpful, and the garage spot was a huge convenience. Nice kitchen, plenty of space for a family of 4.

Fantastic little house Great location
This place was perfect. Great location to the beach and bayside. I was hesitant due to it being right off Mission Blvd, but it was totally fine and not noisy at all. The garage was a bit tricky to get into. I recommend backing into it. The house interior is great and so clean. It had all the amenities to cook and clean and the air conditioning makes it so worth the cost. Grill works great as does the oven and stovetop. All the appliances are top notch. The owners really made the house a home away from home. Would definitely stay here again. I would recommend a fly swatter if I had one tiny complaint. 5 ⭐️

Family vacation
The house was very comfortable for my family of four. It had everything we needed to cook a few nights, it was close to beaches which was wonderful. The area had restaurants, coffee shops, rental places that didn’t know we needed. We had a wonderful vacation and would stay here again.

Perfect Location
This little beach cottage was such a fantastic find! It’s completely remodeled with nice appliances, bathrooms, and furniture. We loved having the outdoor patio to relax on and enjoy the sunny mornings with our coffee. Literally steps from so many restaurants, shopping, and the beach. Very responsive property management. The one car garage is small, but fit our Subaru pretty well. We did have a 2nd vehicle and parked along mission Blvd and once we found a spot we didn’t move again until we left. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Immaculate, new, fantastic location
This was the cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed at. The property managers were super responsive and the unit is impeccably clean. 50 yards to the strand and enclose proximity to restaurants, bars, grocery, and the catamaran resort. I would definitely stay here again without a doubt.

Chic Cottage
The attention to detail and cleanliness of the cottage is impeccable. The photos are accurate but do not do justice to the physical space.There is nothing lacking to make your stay stress free. Bluewater Vacation rental was in constant contact to ensure that if anything was needed they were there to help. We were also graciously given supplies for our Thanksgiving visit. The only issue with the cottage is the proximity to Mission Boulevard which at times can be disruptive during the day if you want to relax on the enclosed patio but is not an issue during the night. In short, I would consider staying here again and most certainly consider any other property managed by Bluewater.

Excellent Location / Great Layout
Walking distance to everything Pacific Beach has to offer - beach, restaurants/bars, Supermarket (Ralph’s). The private outdoor area, with the outdoor shower and large sliding glass doors made the space feel much larger than what the pictures show. Overall, just a great layout for friends looking to stay in San Diego. Garage was a bonus, did not have a car by allowed friends we knew nearby to park. Overall management was help and responsive, checking in throughout my stay. Could not recommend more for those looking to stay in PB.
