Fantastic Location

This property’s location was awesome - only about 1-2 blocks from the beach and boardwalk but far enough away for things to be pretty quiet. Also very close to many bars/restaurants. The home had everything we needed and the beds were super comfy.

Tiny Clean Getaway

My daughter and I stayed a few days before she began her studies at SDSU. Steps away from the bay and the beach, it was quite convenient. The property is itty bitty, but quite comfortable with all the home away from home amenities needed to cook, sleep, lounge and relax.

It was the right size, with the right amenities and in a perfect location. Close to great restaurants The Olive, Molly’s, Mission and Guava Beach Cafe. The coffee shop next door gets you up early, but so close to enjoy fresh coffee each morning. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great location. Cute and clean place. Was pretty noisy on Saturday night because it's so close to a bar, but not enough to keep us awake. Thankful there is parking available in the nearby park. AC stopped working but they responded pretty quickly.
