Great stay in Crown Point

Great place to stay in Crown Point. Short three block walk to the bay, which was super peaceful. The place, as advertised, is small but perfect for two people, and the outdoor space was really nice and comfortable. We had beautiful weather and spent any time we were at the unit during the day outside. Really nice to have a parking spot to come home to at night, too.

Clean. Great location! Perfect size for 2. Enclosed patio was a plus!

We had a great time at sail bay! We were walking distance to the beach and some great restaurants! Our lyft rides to mission beach and downtown weren't too pricey and the neighborhood was very cute. The house was very clean, it had everything we needed and the enclosed patio was perfect for keeping the sliding door open and made us feel safe at night. Would definitely recommend this place to others and would love to come stay again!

Easily accessible to the Bay. Lovely drive throughout the area. Downtown was not far. Holiday traffic time versus regular commuter time so the timing of our stay worked well even for the airports, that being day after Christmas to day after New Year. YearGreat to

Honeymoon Bliss

My husband and I spent the week here for our honeymoon in San Diego. The property was beautiful and exactly as listed/pictured. It was a nice walk to the beach and an even shorter one to the bay where we got to watch the SeaWorld fireworks at night! Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance and a short drive to many tourist attractions in San Diego. Would definitely recommend to any couple looking to stay in the area!

Nice place Horrible weather

With rainy cold weather we were super lucky we chose these accommodations . The kitchen was well equipped with a gas stove to heat up soap. The shower had hot hot water and the bed was comfy fort napping! Comfortable coach with electric fireplace and excellent TV with wide variety of channels. Small space however the layout was maximized for functionality!

Extremely Accommodating

We loved our stay at Renee's property. Less than a mile from Pacific Beach, about 2 or 3 miles to Belmont Park. Everything was very close. Although our stay was short, Renee was extremely accommodating in helping me setup a small surprise decoration for my wife. The property itself was clean and cozy, had everything we needed. I would not hesitate to book with Renee again. Thanks for having us!

Great little cottage close to the beach

A wonderful little cottage so close to the beach, perfect for a solo traveller or a couple. While cozy, it has all the room one would need to sleep, chill and cook - we used the kitchen quite extensively and greatly appreciated the tools available. It was great being able to walk to all of our favorite haunts, too!The only reason this didn't give 5 stars was the noise from a neighbor or neighbors - I don't hold the host responsible, but overall it did affect our sleep. Ideally this is not something that occurs often, it may have just been our bad luck. Don't let it stop you from enjoying a great place in Pacific Beach.

Peaceful

We really enjoyed our stay. Because it's a rental property and not someone's home it wasn't filled with knick knacks. It was nice and clean and everything worked perfectly. As others have noted in their reviews, the living room seating is extremely uncomfortable and could really use an upgrade. But the bed was delightful and the shower was outstanding. The kitchen had everything we needed except perhaps it could use a larger frying pan. We felt safe and cozy in this little cottage. Great location. Thank you very much.
