Chris is an amazing host, quickly answered any questions and provided awesome accomodations which were safe, clean, spacious and close to all the fun in Pacific Beach. Listen to the waves and watch the beach activity right from his deck! The PB sandy beach is amazing, and tourmaline beach just north is a good place to look for beach glass and other treasures. I spent 5 days there, and only used Uber to arrive from the airport, walked everywhere else. (Ok, my daughter has a car and lives in PB so she did shuttle me a few times:)) There are many beach front eateries nearby, but no excess noise from them. Parking in the area is ok this time of year, but can be difficult in the summer months. Would definitely stay at Chris' again!
