Stayed twice ..will not again

This is our second stay at Bettys Beach Bungalow. Checkin was 3pm...maid still there at 4:15, delayed our checkin. Happened last time too. Many broken or non functional items, celing fans, washing machine didnt work, oven takes twice as long to bake and front right burner not working. Hot water DANGEROUSLY HOT EXTREMELY bright at night. Neighbors lights shine right into bedrooms and since no AC Cant hang shades over Windows. Woken multiple times by loud cars and screamjng fights at 2am. Big party neighborhood. Laura at Nancys vacation rentals was EXTREMELY helpful but none of issues resolved during our stay. Would use Nancys again but NOT THIS PROPERTY. .

Great Little House in SD

Everything that is in the control of the property management company is done excellently. House was clean, plenty of linens, fans, supplies, etc. Communication was above and beyond. We felt well taken care of and looked after during our stay. They even gave us a number to text to make it easier to communicate. Location was great. Easy walk to sprouts for groceries (literally behind the house. I felt goofy when I drove to it). Great restaurants and coffee shops all within walking distance too. Ocean and bay are both walkable but a little far with wagon and beach gear. On our tired days we just drove (but beware parking is difficult every where). Overall a great, comfy stay, away from the downtown SD area which kept things mostly quiet. We would stay here again and will definitely book with Nancy's Vacation Rentals when we're in the area again. 5 star property management company. Couple things of note: * the neighbors enjoy having parties. They were over by about 11 each night so we slept fine (and the fans generally blocked out noise) but some nights were harder to get kiddos to sleep than others. * there is a green trash can in front of the property that is used by everyone as a general purpose trash can even though it's organic matter only. We didn't put anything in it and it was overflowing when we got there. The trash company didn't take it either. Use the trash cans out the back of the property.

Appalled at Condition of House

I sent a letter summarizing all that was wrong with the condition of the place. Without hesitation I requested a full refund. The experience caused my brother and I a tremendous amount of stress. Shame on you all!! Please refer to my letter dated 8/20/23. It was sent priority mail yesterday.

Great location but needs update

First and foremost - we have appreciated the prompt attention to all our correspondences. Everyone has been kind and attentive and easy to work with - they did a fabulous job of attending to costumer service Unfortunately.... There was a mildew oder in one of the rooms with visible mold on the wall that never completely resolved enough to feel comfortable sleeping in that room - even after trial of mold blocking agent and use of a fan to dry it out - ultimately, this meant that the 2 bedroom home became a 1 bedroom home - resulting in 4 adults and 1 infant uncomfortably crowded together. Summary - This home might have worked if the 2nd room was usable - otherwise - it's more likely a home where people just come to sleep after being out and about in the area. We frequent PB and have rented multiple times - this is our first less then ideal experience. I do not recommend Betty's beach rental - it is in desperate need of t A more thorough cleaning, updating and repair

Comfort at Great Location

With this great location, I might have anticipated the noise of neighbors and traffic, but I didn’t (we live in a quiet neighborhood). Nonetheless, the noise wasn’t too bad, and it ended before late at night. We enjoyed our stay.

No issues at all renting. Loved the house. Loved the proximity to all that PB has to offer. My only recommendation is the drawers in the kitchen need a deep clean as does the laundry room and the dishwasher needs to be replaced as it is not stable.

Good Family (with small children) Vacation Experience

The house is exactly as described - and in a location that offers all types of options for food and entertainment. It was clean and stocked with virtually everything you could possibly need. Kids slept in the bunks with plenty of room for 3 and the main bedroom has ample space for all your "stuff". If you're a light sleeper you might struggle with some neighborhood noises, but otherwise it's within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and the beach. Plus, a grocery store about 100 feet away. No real problems getting rides from the location - we didn't rent a car but there's a driveway for at least 2 vehicles. We walked each night to restaurants and while the street is dark at night, we felt pretty comfortable walking with three kids and a stroller around the area. I received several calls from the management company to check on our satisfaction before and during the trip - very responsive and accommodating. If you're looking for a cute, clean, simple house within walking distance to the beach/boardwalk you've found the right place.

Betty is the Best!

The four of us had a wonderful time at Betty‘s. Check in/out was easy peasy. Well located, clean, smallish but very adequate for our party of four. The full sized bunk beds where a nice touch for comfort. Loved the private outside deck in the back with the grill. Really appreciated having the bikes to use and a significant cost savings. Having the Sprouts right out the back door was very convenient. If I’m back in Pacific Beach I will definitely rent this again.

Family and Pet Friendly Betty’s Beach Bungalow

We rented this cottage because it was dog friendly and because of its location and it didn’t disappoint! It is fabulous to be able to walk to the beach, bay, coffee shops, restaurants, grocery and drug stores Oh, and did I mention Trader Joe’s? The bed and bedding were good as were the towels. There were bikes, beach toys and chairs we didn’t use as it was January after all. It is an older home and could use a little TLC but we would consider renting it again next year.

Perfect Location

This house was perfect for our family of four (plus puppy). Close to a ton of restaurants, literally around the corner from Sprouts, less than a ten minute walk to the beach, and within a 20 minute drive, so many different activities!! The house is a little older, which adds to it's charm and the fall breeze goes through wonderfully!! The property manager(s) are easy to contact and keep in touch to make sure things are going well.

Charming and great location

Nancy’s vacation rental staff was so accommodating. Communication about home and check in/check out was great. Location was everything for us. Far enough away from beach to sleep well yet only a 3 minute bike ride or 10 minute stroll to beach. House was spotless. Loved having 2 bikes, beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards available. Might I mention not only is Sprouts basically next door, but Better Buzzed around corner, Thai Orient Cafe and Fillipes walking distance and many other good restaurants. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Cute little beach house

This was such a cute little house in Pacific Beach. The location was great, being super close to Sprouts and Better Buzz was amazing. It’s far enough away from the beach to be away from the crowds but close enough to walk. The house itself was clean and although it’s small we were able to fit 4 of us comfortably in it. Overall, it was a great place to stay in PB.
