Upon arrival our unit had not been cleaned. The bed had been slept in and towels were on the floor. I contacted the management co and the response was immediate. We were then given the unit next door, which was in better shape and clean. Loved the location, steps to the beach and many restaurants. Would stay again.

Great location!
The property is 1 block from Pacific Beach., and close to all the action. It’s not plushly outfitted or updated, but it was appropriately lower priced than nicer properties in that location. Checkin was quick and easy.. we enjoyed our stay there.

Great Location—but it could be better
To start off with the great, this was a wonderful location. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants. However, when we first got to the apartment, none of the windows had been opened so it was SO hot and muggy inside. Because it is an older property, it has that older smell, which was worse when it was hot or any of the closets were opened. We immediately opened all the windows and realized there was no AC. Just a ceiling fan in each bedroom. The windows in the queen bedroom didn’t have screens, so every once in a while we would get some flies inside. The couch in the front room is comfortable, but it is stained and there are multiple cracks in the ceiling and walls as well. Overall, we had a really good time. However, I have paid less money to stay at nicer VRBO’s and I was just shocked at the quality when we got there. Just be aware you are paying for the location more than the quality of the property. If that is all you need, than this is a golden place to stay. (And no, we didn’t reach out to the property manager—because there was nothing they could have done.)

Great getaway
This was a great location - so close to the beach (the sand toys and chairs were a great perk!) and also to restaurants. It was so easy to access anything we needed by walking just a few minutes down the street. Megan was super responsive when I brought up a minor issue and fixed it right away. Overall, a great place, great location - my family and I loved it.

Convient location, appreciated parking spot
Our family of 4 stayed in Villa Blanca for a week at the end of June. The apartment was accurately represented by the pictures. The internet connection was simple and fast. We especially appreciated the parking spot included in this unit as street parking can be hard to find in this area. Communication was easy. We especially appreciated the simple check out! There was a broken patio chair, but we didn't need to use it so it wasn't an issue. I was concerned about the unit not having a/c, but it truly wasn't needed (and I'm hot-natured). The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure was great!

Villa Blanca experience
My family and I had a good time at our stay. I was a bit bummed not to see shampoo anywhere in the villa. It seemed to be listed as part of the amenities & dead batteries in the remote controls.That didn't stop us from having a great time. Thanks again Vince

POPS 60TH BIRTHDAY WEEKEND
The floors were super dirty upon arrival, sand and dust, and the water was shut on a full day of our stay, we couldn't shower to start our day or do the dishes. Had to find another place for all 6 of us to shower! Contacted management and they said they were supposed to notify us. Which they hadn't. So it was very inconvenient for us, especially trying to enjoy our last day on the beach in San Diego we couldn't get cleaned up! Other than that the house was great size and location, quiet neighborhood and surprisingly easy to find parking!
