The Family Beach House

Our San Diego property is located in the lovely neighborhood of Pacific Beach, just two blocks from the beach and two blocks from Mission Bay. It is ideal for families, retirees, and young couples alike with it having an enclosed back yard (good for the little ones) with a brand new BBQ, lawn chairs for telling stories, as well as a lemon tree! The property has a driveway with a private gate for two vehicles as well as street parking available-- a huge plus for summertime in this popular San Diego beachside suburb. This property is within walking distance (3 minutes or less) of not only the beach but many popular restaurants, bars, coffee/ice cream shops, Garnet street shopping, and a grocery store! Our neighborhood is quiet but close to fun so we ask our renters to be respectful of our wonderful neighbors who live in the area year around. The house was built in the 1950's when Pacific Beaches' palm tree lined streets were made of sand so it has an old feel charm which we LOVE! There is cable, smart TV, a DVD player, & WIFI internet access, AND washer/dryer in home. Shower towels provided.

We had an incredible 16-day stay at this beautiful home in July! The house was exactly as described—comfortable, well-stocked, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing beach vacation. The location was unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach, which made our daily trips effortless and enjoyable. Everything about this home made our stay feel easy and memorable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, well-located beach rental.

Charming House and Location

From waking up to the sound of seagulls to having family chats on the porch swing surrounded by rose bushes, the home truly added so much to our vacation. With my four teens we were able to make it a home base for exploring the beach, the bay, shopping, and restaurants all on foot. Thank you for sharing our house with us!

House was incredible/location noisy

Our house was absolutely wonderful. Small luxuries (super comfy bedding, nice linens, plenty of kitchen utensils, luxurious showers, etc) and plenty of helpful items to use in the home. Contact with our host was incredible, super fast and friendly. The location was really good, near the beach and lots of restaurants though we ended up driving into San Diego quite a bit, but that was a personal choice to see family and the city. Still a super fast drive. The only reason I’m rating slightly lower is the neighbors directly next door were extremely noisy all night. My 60 year old mom stayed in the room next to their house and didn’t get a wink of sleep because they were up very late and being very loud. There was also a very loud couple fighting for about an hour in the street the first night we were there. I know this isn’t the hosts fault as they truly were wonderful but it was a little frustrating to not be able to sleep due to the noise at all hours of the night.

Quintessential CA Vacation Spot

I brought my teenage daughter and 4 friends to San Diego on their first ever visit to California, after a school trip got canceled for them. This was the perfect spot to explore the area on foot, seemingly very safe neighborhood and well-located for everything we wanted to do. The host Jess was extremely kind an accommodating, communicative and available before and during our stay. The house is so cute and had everything we needed. The back yard and front stoop were favorite spots for the girls to hang out during downtime! We were traveling on a budget so almost every meal I cooked in the house kitchen and served at the big table family style. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a perfect relaxed beach experience in Pacific Beach!

Cute and convenient beach house

Cute and cozy 3 bedroom home that was perfectly sized for our family of 4. The beautiful and large backyard is an added bonus to the close proximity to both the beach and the bay. There are lots of food options nearby (including a grocery store) and you could easily spend time here without driving if you really wanted to just have a beach trip. Our kids loved playing with toys and games inside and in the backyard when we weren't exploring. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in San Diego!
