About this property

New Year Special at Ginny's! Balcony Bayfront with direct beach access and parking!

Below you will find details about our 1 bed/ 1 bath home, Ginny's Riviera Villa in Pacific Beach. NEW FLOORING AND PHOTOS!

Ginny's lovely condo up on the top (4th) floor features a breathtaking 180 degree unobstructed, panoramic view of beautiful Sail Bay. The almost floor to ceiling, wall to wall windows and sliding glass door in the living room lead out to the balcony, with a table and chairs for enjoying the view. This is the only floor which provides a view of the entire ocean horizon as well as the bay. There is a king bed in the bedroom, a comfortable queen size Murphy bed that folds down from the wall and a queen size sofa bed for additional guests. The kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, is fully equipped with everything you need for dining in. The living room has a plush carpet, gas fireplace, large flat screen TV and that unbeatable view! The spacious bathroom has dual sinks, a large oval soaking tub perfect for bubble baths with a shower. There is a coin operated laundry room about 30 feet down the hall.

The Riviera Villas are situated on the quieter East side of beautiful Sail Bay (the loveliest part of Mission Bay)! You will have a magnificent view of the sunsets with the activities of the bay in the foreground; kite-boarders, sailboats, water skiers, catamarans, etc. Yet, you are only 12 minutes from San Diego's bustling downtown historic Gaslamp area with its fine dining, 1.5 miles from SeaWorld, and within 15 minutes from the lovely Balboa Park with the famous San Diego Zoo. So, you can have it all!

Enjoy your coffee on your private balcony as you watch the boardwalk come alive. Right below, people are on the boardwalk riding bikes, skating, jogging, and just strolling at leisure. Take a stroll or ride our two provided beach cruiser bikes around the bay and if you like, cross over to Mission Beach with its wide boardwalk to watch the surfers or catch a glimpse of the green flash at sunset.

Vacation rentals in San Diego are for the most part, second homes for the owners. Therefore, some furniture or decor may differ from what is pictured because the owners needed or wanted to replace something.

(*Please note: We do not give refunds because a piece of furniture or artwork has changed)

*NOTE: This home is in a residential neighborhood and, as such, is a NOISE SENSITIVE property. Respect must be shown for the property and neighbors at all times.

Please note our policies:

Holiday 2024 Policy:
6 night minimum AND Saturday check-in is REQUIRED during our holiday season (December 21-January 4). One reservation CANNOT take both holidays, unless it is a 2-week reservation. There are no arrivals OR departures on Christmas or New Year's Day.
*An arrival on a Friday or Sunday may be possible, please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you!

Summer 2024 Policy:
Beginning Memorial Day to Labor Day, Saturday to Saturday is required with 6-7 night reservations. On July 4th 2024, check-in or check-out is NOT permitted. An arrival on a Friday or Sunday may be possible, please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you.

Last Minute Booking Policy:
If a guest books with us directly or on any OTA such as Airbnb and VRBO, within 72 hours of arrival, verification credentials are required. By making a payment on the reservation, the guest agrees to comply with our last minute booking policy.

To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a “selfie” photo specifically of the booking guest's face and holding either a Driver's License, Passport or State ID photo under their chin. We are just looking for a name to match and the photo on the ID to match that of the person in the selfie. This can be sent by email or text to our company email address. Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as, payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.

This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.

4 night minimum required in the off season.

Waterfront view - fabulous!

A wonderful property to enjoy waterfront views and relax — great location for immediate waterfront walks and access to parking, bikes, and beach equipment included. The application submission and deposit was an extra step beyond the expected VRBO process, but it was handled with clear steps and excellent communication from the host. The gas fireplace is a bonus feature for this unit, helping warm the living room during cool mornings or after sundown. Bed and shower were comfortable and clean — 5 Stars all the way!!!

Nice clean digs, great view

This is a lovely property overlooking the bay and sunsets. Communication with rental agent was very good. Might be a bit crowded for four, but the Murphy bed (which we didn't use) looked perfectly serviceable. The place was perfect for two

Relaxation

Place perfect away from crowd, beach front and spaciousA plus has a fireplace.Spacious and clean.Very close to the Airport, easy access to freeway and grocery. La Jolla one of the places we hangout so close nice walk and restaurants.Kitchen could have been nicer like, bowls 2, serving, and cookware and its doable. Limited to what you can used, we made dinner for family, perfect 4 people they have table for 4. Needs improvement the staff not same page and can be more helpful if questions are being answered instead of referring to the orientation paper. Too many codes and can easily get confusing. For example someone can't read or speak English what happens?In there application there's a question who is going and age. Two days before someone will call and asked what is the purpose of your visit to San Diego. This part is a bit passive aggressive question and even aged our age. It was indicated on our papers before we ageed to pay.

Would go again

After getting through all of the instructions and codes for this, that, and the other thing, just to get going in the unit, we thoroughly enjoyed the condo. We were within 15 minutes of everything we wanted to do while there giving us lots of time to relax and enjoy sitting on the balcony which was calming, despite all the (surprisingly quiet) activity all around, including sailing, water skiing, beach volleyball, dog walking, etc.. Great for people-watching! We loved it and have discussed going back next year.

Laidback Baytime

We will be back! - Location was great- we were able to bike everywhere we wanted, although I would suggest the unit have a bike tire pump easily accessible, as well as a wrench to adjust the bike seat up/down. - View was refreshing- enjoying a cup of coffee off the balcony was great in the morning and watching all the volleyball games in the afternoon was entertaining. - Construction and landscaping noises were annoying. At the time of our visit the unit next to us was being renovated, so we encountered a lot of pounding. Every morning we were woken by the sounds of mowers and weed whackers as well as the sounds of road construction and grinding (which we were informed of prior to confirmation of unit), but still unpleasant. - Unit is dated in some aspects- squeaky security door, rusty and difficult sliding balcony door/screen door, but still well taken care of, clean, and pleasant. There was a minor ant issue in the kitchen, as long as one was diligent with the dish soap they could be corralled. - Codes, codes, codes. I highly suggest limiting these or at least making it so they are all the same, but good thing I took a screen shot of the orientation guide to keep them handy/accessible. - Untimely text communication offering. The texting service provided was lacking. We had no major issues, but obtaining a response 4-5 hours after posing a question was not helpful. For more immediate response, call.
