About this property

Luminous Home With Shared Pool - 4 Blocks To The Beach!

NOTE: This property is mostly booked for 2025, with the exceptions of these openings:
March 16th - May 24th
Sept 5th - Oct 5th
Nov 4th - Dec 31st

It sleeps up to 6 for a weekend, 4 for a week and anything over a week, we prefer 2.

This airy and light loft is a sanctuary to relax into. The 13' ceilings and ample windows give it a spacious and roomy feel. You have everything you need, yet is not cluttered or cramped. It is well thought out and very organized.

There is a separate entrance and is very private from our main house. Nestled in a well established residential area that is predominantly original owners and people who were raised in this soulful beach community.

You'll feel at home in this peaceful home. It's a great place to unwind and recharge your batteries. Yet, there are plenty of restaurants, stores and places for outdoor adventures within 4-10 blocks of our home.

This kitchen is open to living room and has everything you need, including a dishwasher. There are several grocery stores within blocks, so that you can eat in and relax at home.

It comes with it's own washer and dryer for your convenience and savings!

Our weather is ideal for outdoor dining on the balcony off of the kitchen and sun bathing on the roof deck in the chaise lounge chairs. There is also a bistro table with four chairs on the roof deck, for enjoying sunset while you dine!

Walk four blocks west, and enjoy the best stretch of the beaches in Pacific Beach - well known Law Street Beach. It has a nice grassy bluff to watch sunsets from. Public bathrooms for your convenience. The surf there is gentle and small, ideal for young children and inexperienced beach goers. Yet, the surf just blocks to the North is more enticing for those water lovers who want to hit up the surf.

This Law Street Beach is also the North end of the boardwalk that goes south for miles. It's a fun stroll along to see the fun PB has to offer and also great for bikes, making it a nice beach cruise.

The bay is due South of us (9 blocks) and has it's own boardwalk that lines it in a full circle. More quiet and laid back than the ocean boardwalk and fun to see the sail boats glide along with ease.

The Primary Bedroom has direct access into the bathroom. The rooms are comfortable, as are the beds. The entire loft (minus the bathroom) has an awesome real wood floor that is unique and wonderful to walk on. The bathroom has a beautiful tile floor. This is a non-smoking property; vaping, e-cigs, cigs and cigars. Thank you!

Perfect all atound

This location was perfect for our family of 3 weeklong vacation in San Diego. Shari and Doug were wonderful to work with and ensured we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The location is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to beach and restaurants within walking distance. Could not have been happier with the house or the hosts

Perfect!

I felt so at peace and didn’t want to leave. The pool and hot tub allowed relaxation. Being able to walk to the beach added to the peacefulness. We were 3 adults and 2 children and had just enough space. I hope to be back soon.

Wonderful Stay

The apartment and location were great. It was clean and well maintained. The apartment space felt separate from the main house and felt very private. We could walk to the beach or use the pool/hot-tub as we liked. There were lots of restaurants within walking distance or a short drive. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We had a great time and would book again.

Beach loft

We enjoyed our experience. It was a very comfortable loft that allowed wonderful ocean breeze throughout when the windows and doors were open. My daughter enjoyed the pool and the owners were very friendly, kind and great hosts. Thank you Shari!

Perfect apartment for a relaxing beach vacation

I rented Shari’s place for my 2 grandmas who were visiting for a few weeks. The place came equipped with everything they needed to feel like home. The apartment is on the second floor so it has a great view of the beach. There’s a staircase up to a 3rd floor/rooftop with an even better view. Pool and jacuzzi access! The place is about a 10 minute walk to the beach so you don’t even have to worry about parking. Beach towels and chairs were available on the property as well! The owner Shari is really what made the experience even better. She was so nice and when my grandmas needed help she was up at the apartment in a couple of minutes to assist them. Oh and they had a Roku TV with Netflix and Hulu etc and a few local channels on cable which kept them entertained The whole time. Overall we would come again and recommend to a friend.

Highly recommend! Shari is awesome. Pool is amazing + everything you need for a group at the beach!

We booked this place based upon reviews. Knowing it was a shared property with the owner, the reviews on Shari were everything. We have high standards re service, cleanliness and amenities. I’d come back here again and tell others to as well. We were here with 2 kids— 10 and 5- and it was perfect. Quiet neighborhood close to everything. La Jolla is 3 Miles, Pacific beach just a few blocks. Airport maybe 20 min. Kids reviews “I loved it” and “loved the pool” It’s a shared property with the owners but they are very friendly and really respectful of your personal space. We had the pool and patio (note they have a pizza oven outside) to ourselves the whole time. Thank you to Shari and Doug!

Close to everything, we loved the neighborhood and the loft was so awesome!

We absolutely loved our stay at the loft! We used it as home base when we brought our three kids to San Diego and it was so comfortable for all of us. Shari and Doug are awesome hosts and made everything so welcoming and they took great care of us. This place is great for couples or families, you will love your stay!

Great rental, close to everything on PB

Been living here as a student for 4 months, and Shari's loft is a perfect place to stay. Amazing backyard with swimming pool, jacuzzi and barbecue and everything you need. Furthermore, the rooftop terrace is a beautiful addition, where one can see large part of Pacific Beach. The kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms are all of high quality, and everything looks clean and neat. The place is close to everything you need on Pacific Beach, and the owners will be more than willing to sort you out with anything you need, i.e., places to eat, places to see, where to go out and so on. I am truly going to miss this place when I leave in December.

Sunny San Diego,perfect end to a California dream

The last leg of our 17 day California road trip took us to Shari's loft sanctuary in sunny San Diego. After 13 full on days we were ready for chilling out by the beach and what a perfect place to do so. The apartment was clean and well equipped and although we arrived slightly earlier than anticipated Shari was welcoming and very accommodating. We are a family of 4 - 2 boys of 12 and 15 and this place was ideal, close enough to all the tourist spots we wanted to visit and just 4 blocks from a wonderful sandy beach - Pacific Beach has a student/ bohemian feel which was great for the relaxing spell we needed, it's quiet and felt very safe - the pool was good for a dip too. Shari was fantastic - she gave us our space but was on hand when we needed her with helpful tips and directions etc. The shower was fab - so much room and a massive shower head - the boys loved Netflix and the nightly fireworks that you can catch on the roof terrace. Quiet at night so sleep came quickly and Shari lent the boys boogie boards for body surfing which they thoroughly enjoyed on our last day. Local restaurants were good and we found an Indian takeaway too. We cannot fault the place and feel we have found another American friend in Shari - would recommend her and her loft highly, you can't go wrong ! If the world wasn't so big we would be back again and again but this corner of San Diego will stay with us forever.

Lovely rental

The listing description and pictures were very accurate. Everything was very nice including the fold out bed, bathroom, and bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals. Having two balconies was lovely, one on top of the loft and one just outside of the kitchen. Shari was really helpful, flexible, and easy to contact. She even gives back the entire deposit if you do a minimal amount of clean up at the end of your stay. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in a quiet area in Pacific Beach. Children should probably be over the age of 5, though, to stay here. There was a new ice cream place on Mission Drive where you customize your ice cream sandwich with cookies and choice of ice cream. Yum! It was a bit difficult to keep our two young boys working within all the limitations of the property. We had to constantly make sure they weren't standing on railings, staying away from windows, and out of things in general. Also, the washing machine was broken (Shari let us use her personal one, though) and the dishwasher needed some repairs. Both were going to be fixed soon. Overall, a really wonderful experience.

AMAZING STAY!!!

Shari's loft is AMAZING...and so is she!!! The pics are right on and everything was very nice and clean. Felt like we were part of the neighborhood, just like she describes. Loved how it was close to everything, including the beach. Shari was very helpful in giving us tips for the area and made us feel very welcome. She is so easy to talk to and has such a good heart. She truly had our best interests in mind and made sure we were comfortable and happy with everything. Wish we weren't so busy so we could've hung out more, but had a great time with her. Our girls loved the chalkboard wall and enjoyed sleeping in the loft bed the entire stay. The balcony was great to enjoy breakfast n coffee on and had wonderful views of the sunrise and sunset. Its just a 4 block walk to watch from the beach too. LOVED the shower!!! I would DEFINITELY recommend this rental to anybody! Very peaceful neighborhood, but within walking distance to the busy areas too. Will absolutely stay here again when planning a trip to this area. Very quick return of our deposits which was greatly appreciated! OVERALL AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! THANKS SO MUCH SHARI!!!

Wonderful!

We feel very fortunate to have found this condo for our stay in San Diego. We are a family of four, including two school aged children. My parents also joined us for part of our stay. We couldn't have been happier with the condo. It was beautiful and very clean and well maintained. The location is close enough to walk to the beach, but still in a quiet neighborhood. It also had convenient to access all of the local attractions (zoo, sea world, etc) Shari is a wonderful host, and was very helpful with any questions or needs we had. The home was well stocked, the beds comfortable, and the layout very livable. The kids loved sleeping in the loft! We enjoyed visiting nearby restaurants (Fred's, Roberto's, Thai Basil), and it was nice to have a Trader Joe's close by. Overall we would highly recommend this VRBO, and we would certainly stay here again. Thanks Shari!

Oasis of Calm

I don't know where to start! We had such a great trip and really enjoyed our stay in Shari's loft. The property is beautiful, with many thoughtful details. It is in the perfect location for just about any beach experience you could imagine: minutes from the boardwalk, 4 blocks from the ocean, very close to shopping and ocean adventures...did I mention 4 blocks from the ocean?! I cannot put into words how wonderful Shari is, she has a genuinely kind and generous spirit and goes out of her way to make her guests comfortable. I would DEFINITELY recommend her loft to anyone looking for a calm, relaxing getaway.

Great!

Five of us just spent a week at Shari's loft and we couldn't have been happier. The location gives you the sense of being a neighbor, not a tourist. You're far enough away to avoid the PB party scene, but close enough to have access to everything you need. We did not have a car our entire week and walked just about everywhere we needed to go. Shari is a perfect host, we felt like we left with a new friend. She gives you as much space as you want, but is there for any travel advice and tips. She doesn't mention the beach chairs, towels, umbrella and boogie boards she also provides. I recommend this spot wholeheartedly.

Perfect PB vaca spot

Our stay could not have been better. Shari is an incredible host, very welcoming and accomodating. The "loft" was truely that...open and airy with all the special touches of home....coffee pot, candels, soft throws. Best of all however was the location. It is truly right up the street from the entrance to the beach, and only a few blocks from main street..Garnet, where food and fun can be found. My husband and I and our three girls look forward to staying at our new summer vaca spot next June. Thanks Shari for everything.

YOU WILL LOVE THIS LOFT!!!!

Beautiful loft, very spacious, great location!! Modern features, awesome kitchen and bathroom. Close to coast, Pacific Beach restaurants and bars, and all San Diego sites. Even though the condo is on top of the owner's private home, we felt like we had our own space. She was welcoming and accommodating to anything we needed, without being invasive. Price was the most affordable among Pacific Beach rentals. We will be back :)

About the host

Hosted by Shari Sanchioli

Host profile image
We were both born and raised in this beach community and we have great pride in our home town. We love our it here and the loft that we created for you to enjoy our neighborhood as well.

We are so grateful to not only be able to live at the beach, but to have found VRBO, so that we can share it with you.

We're looking forward to possibly meeting you, to show you our world here, it truly is paradise.

Why they chose this property

We love sharing this tranquil and lovely home. We're very proud of this amazing space we've created.

You will feel welcomed into our home that we worked hard to create and have made it so special, all the while having autonomy and plenty of space and privacy.

We have spent a lot of energy on not only creating an amazing space inside, but in the outdoor space as well. We have redone the landscaping in the front yard. Created an outdoor shower for your convenience to keep the beach out of your home and our pool. The backyard is a miniature resort. The lower patio has a BBQ island with a small fridge and side burner. Adjacent to that is a pizza oven! Seating for four at the BBQ island plus you'll find a wonderful fire pit that seats 10 just steps away.

Step up into the second half of the yard to our newly redone pool! The salt water pool now has a baja shelf and a jacuzzi. We kept the jumping board and added LED lights, this pool is truly a one of a kind! Dine at the unique wood table that seats 10, gather at the couch that seats 7 or lounge in the chaise lounges next to the couch and let the day fly by as you relax and catch up with loved ones!

What makes this property unique

We would say what our property has that is unique to others in the area are two main things.

First of all, it's very quiet where we live. So, if you are looking for a place to relax, and not a place to party, then you found the perfect private get away.

Secondly, you will feel entertained and satisfied, for this quiet and remote retreat is within blocks of beaches, the bay, restaurants and shopping.

If you want the balance, of getting out and seeing lots of fun things, then being able to come home and relax in a quiet native setting....... allowing you to feel more at home than being a tourist in the thick of it, then you found the right place!
