The thing that kept going through my mind as I saw the apartment was that this is how I would want my rental to look like if I had one. There were a few times where I would think it would be really great if they had this and then I would look and there it would be. You want negatives? The toilet paper dispenser is behind you in the master bathroom so you have to reach back to get it. There you go.
We went with a group of four for a last minute (very quick) anniversary trip. Very happy to find this listing. Apartment was extremely clean and updated. We didn't notice anything missing that we needed. Three beach chairs and three beach towels were provided. A small umbrella was also there, which we didn't use. Communication was A+ (with Nathan). He sent us a long email with a bunch of recommendations. Day of communication was provided for getting into the unit. Oh, I thought of another negative! Trying to get the two keys back into the lockbox was a struggle. Believe me, I'm really trying to think of anything negative.
Location was perfect. About a block from the beach and a few blocks from some restaurants, a small store and a liquor store. We had a car so we decided on Pacific Beach (10 minutes away if that) instead of the one close. It's beautiful but limited space and only during low tide. Also a rougher surf. Great for laying out but if you want to go in the water I would try a different beach location. We did walk down for the sunset both nights we were there and it was amazing.
Highly recommend this rental. There was a sister unit above this one if you need more space.
