Dream home!

I do not have enough nice things to say about this listing. Location a block from beach, beautiful mature landscaping. Perfect size for our group with updated interiors but retaining the original charm. Really wish this house were my own

All as advertised

Loved the property, loved the location. Steps from the beach, quiet at night . Only negative (and this is out of control of the property manager) is that we couldn't use the beautiful outdoor space during the day because of construction noise from the home behind the property.

Great Stay

We absolutely loved our stay here! You can't beat the location from Pacific Beach, just a block and a half away. We love drinking our coffee in the backyard in the mornings and being able to walk over to the beach to see if the sunset was any good or not. We were here over the 4th of July so everything was super crowded, but it didn't feel that way here at the house. Loved that there was a long enough driveway to fit both of our vehicles. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect in PB

Efficient little house in Pacific Beach. Close to the beach. Centrally located. Easy to get to La Jolla, Downtown SD, Coronado, etc. All the essentials in the kitchen. Nice fenced back yard for our pup. Perfect for a week away from home and to explore the city.

Always a Special Place

This was our ninth extended stay and, as always, we loved it! 821 is such a warm, inviting and comfortable home with all the amenities you need … clean, well-appointed, comfortable seating and beds, well-equipped kitchen, excellent internet service, lovely fenced backyard, off-street parking, only a block to the beach, and an easy walk to all that PB has to offer. It would be hard to find a better place.

Great Vacation House

Perfect location. Cute house that looks recently remodeled. Has AC, fans in every room, windows open with screens. Walk in shower has 2 heads and loads of pressure to tidy up from the beach. Outdoor shower to rinse off as well is a nice feature. Kitchen is well supplied. The TVs do have Rokus attached so you can stream content. Garage is stocked with beach toys, beach chairs, an umbrella or two, and one boogie board. Was hoping for more, but there are several rental shops right around the corner. All in all, very satisfied with the property. Would stay again. You cant get much closer to the beach and all the shops and restaurants are entirely walkable.

Great vacation, awesome location!

I take my family to San Diego just about every year. I have to say that this rental was the best one we have stayed in. The place was clean and fully stocked w/ anything we might need. We cooked at home a few nights and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. We also loved the fact that we could use the grassy backyard for barbequing and hanging out. The location is right in the mix of some of the best restaurants and activities. Drift was exceptional to work with and made our trip extremely enjoyable. We will be back!

Perfect Beach House

We have stayed at this property several times over the years and keep coming back. The location is great being just one block from the beach and a few blocks from all the shops and restaurants. They recently updated the interior which turned out nice. Kitchen is well stocked and having private parking and the garage for storage is extremely convenient. We would highly recommend this property.

Loved this home

We had a few issues from the beginning. However this being our 2nd time staying at this home BUT the first time with the new Vacasa management. The good is this home is adorable, great location, perfect backyard, close to beach, and restaurants. Those are the reasons we rented this home for a 2nd time. The bad and the horrible of our stay. On our first day the ceiling fan did not work and did not work for our week stay then later the shower got clogged and flooded the bathroom then later that night while doing a load of laundry the washer started flooding into the kitchen and then the sewage backed up into the kitchen sink and the washer ruining all our clothes. The house smelled like well sewage. Thank god we were leaving the next day. Please make sure all appliances are working because our last day was horrible. Also beware of bugs and rodents running around the backyard. The banana trees really need to be cut back so that you don’t get rats or oppussums … pretty creepy. Vacasa did not take care of the issue that was immediately reported and we have yet to hear back from them. So good luck if you rent a home from them and something goes wrong. I am leaving this comment public since we are waiting for some sort of acknowledgment maybe this will trigger it. The house is great location perfect but there are issues that need to be addressed and taken care of. Thank you

I'd Do It Again

A nice home in a great location. Clean and comfortable. The back yard is lovely and was a perfect space to entertain our elderly pup. We were able to use the outdoor grill for a meal.... all the conveniences of a home away from home. We'd definitely look to stay in this home again.

Great location

The house has an amazing location and was very well stocked with a super cute backyard. There were a couple small things that we contacted Vacasa about, like the bathroom sink not really draining, but unfortunately didn’t get any help from them.

Great Place in Pacific Beach

The house is perfect for 4 people. Two queen beds in good sized bedrooms. It is well stocked with everything you need to cook or BBQ meals. In the garage are beach chairs and umbrellas. Beach towels are also provided. The location is ideal. Two blocks from the PB boardwalk and the beach. It is near all the restaurants/stores/pubs without most of the noise and traffic. Off road parking for two vehicles is definitely a positive. Would like to see some updated TVs in the house that allow access to streaming services. The internet connection worked great. Hope to return soon!

Great location

Close to everything. We enjoyed lots of walking and the boardwalk and restaurants were near by. We chose this property for location and having a yard. We do enjoy sitting outside in the morning and evening. It could have been cleaner out there. The table was dirty and the chairs and overhead wood had cobwebs. There were cute lights strung around the yard which created a nice evening ombiance.
