The thing I enjoyed most about this condo was that it is so close to the beach, but that was about it. I run in the mornings, so the 1 minute walk to the ocean side trail was really nice. However, In the future I would try to find another rental.
This condo was just OK. Nothing terrible, just mediocre. Cleanliness was just OK. Pull out sofa was full of crumbs and stains. Condo was full of flies when we came in. Bathroom had been redone which was nice. Didn’t need AC. Ocean breeze cools off the place quickly, but if the windows are closed, it gets stuffy quickly. You can tell it’s not individually managed. There’s zero pride taken to maintain this place, like a private owner would. They do just enough to barely keep it up and keep recycling it. It’s a bit run down. The beach chairs were broken, there was no umbrella, and the bikes were rusty. This was a selling point for us, but we would have been better off just renting these items in much better condition. Parking in San Diego is a nightmare, so the garage was super nice. There were plenty of clean towels, the bed was clean; cheap linens and pillows though. Even my son, who is so easy going said he would have preferred a nicer place.
The area itself is like a college town. Lots of younger people being super obnoxious in the evenings into the wee hours of the morning. Windows were open to keep things cool, but you could hear all the rowdiness into the early morning hours. Lots of trash from parties the night before on the streets and beach every morning, even on the weekdays. (I mean a LOT of trash). So sad.
Will look for another rental elsewhere next time.
