Clean and ready-used the BBQ patio area for a small birthday gathering which worked perfectly! Nice high-end finishes in the space.

by Jill L.

Great spot, so close to the beach. Parking is an issue thankfully my daughter’s Subaru Crosstrek fit in the garage. Clean and ready-used the BBQ patio area for a small birthday gathering which worked perfectly! Nice high-end finishes in the space.

We had a wonderful vacation and would stay here again.

by Katie K.
The house was very comfortable for my family of four. It had everything we needed to cook a few nights, it was close to beaches which was wonderful. The area had restaurants, coffee shops, rental places that didn’t know we needed. We had a wonderful vacation and would stay here again.

Perfect quiet getaway!

by Samantha A.
The property was in a great location, minutes from the beach. You have two outdoor areas to enjoy people-watching or have a private area. There are also plenty of amenities to enjoy. Would highly recommend and consider visiting again!
May 2024

The house was a very nice space. All of the pictures were accurate and everything was very comfortable!

by Beth W.
The house was a very nice space. All of the pictures were accurate and everything was very comfortable. While the house is on a main street and there is sometimes loud party vibes, I feel very safe in the space and that wasn’t a concern. Having parking was very nice too, I’m so glad we didn’t have to hunt for street parking. The house is very well represented in the listing.

We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

by Julie H.
This little beach cottage was such a fantastic find! It’s completely remodeled with nice appliances, bathrooms, and furniture. We loved having the outdoor patio to relax on and enjoy the sunny mornings with our coffee. Literally steps from so many restaurants, shopping, and the beach. Very responsive property management. The one car garage is small, but fit our Subaru pretty well. We did have a 2nd vehicle and parked along mission Blvd and once we found a spot we didn’t move again until we left. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
April 2024

Would recommend and definitely stay here again.

by Carole S.
The is a great property. Close to all the restaurants and shopping. Footsteps to the beach. Clean and well appointed - has everything you need! Updated and modern, clean and comfortable! Would recommend and definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend this home and I will absolutely be back!

by Amber W.
Amazing vacation home for my two teenage daughters and me. The house was beautiful and had everything needed to be comfortable both in the home and on the beach (chairs, boogie boards, an outdoor shower for sand). There’s even a garage for parking so I never worried about having to find a spot in a very busy area of town. Speaking of the beach, the location was perfect! It’s an easy 2 minute walk to the sand. Everything else (groceries, activities, restaurants) was within a 5-10 minute walk from the house. The vacation company did a great job communicating and even checked in regularly to make sure that we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this home and I will absolutely be back!

Very clean and nicely renovated. Looks brand new! Highly recommend!

Great location! Perfect spot near bay and beach. Very clean and nicely renovated. Looks brand new! Highly recommend!

I would definitely stay here again without a doubt.

by Jeff D.
This was the cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed at. The property managers were super responsive and the unit is impeccably clean. 50 yards to the strand and enclosed proximity to restaurants, bars, grocery, and the catamaran resort. I would definitely stay here again without a doubt.
December 2023

The attention to detail and cleanliness of the cottage is impeccable.

by Vince I.
The attention to detail and cleanliness of the cottage is impeccable. The photos are accurate but do not do justice to the physical space. There is nothing lacking to make your stay stress free. Bluewater Vacation rental was in constant contact to ensure that if anything was needed they were there to help. We were also graciously given supplies for our Thanksgiving visit. The only issue with the cottage is the proximity to Mission Boulevard which at times can be disruptive during the day if you want to relax on the enclosed patio but is not an issue during the night. In short, I would consider staying here again and most certainly consider any other property managed by Bluewater.
December 2023

No detail left unattended. Excellence in every way.

Highly recommend and hope to stay here again in the future.

by Katie S.
This property is better in person than the pictures show which is rare. It was spotless, roomy, great outdoor spaces, comfortable beds, comfortable living room furniture and kitchen appliances and dishes etc were top notch. Highly recommend and hope to stay here again in the future.

Cute Home

by Cassandra
This home was perfect for our last minute trip. It\'s super cozy, clean and perfect location right on Mission Blvd. The garage is very small but I\'m glad I reviewed the house guide before hand and rented a smaller vehicle. We had an amazing time and we would happily be back!
September 2023

Everything was great, would definitely stay again.

by Jennifer D.
The house was exactly what we expected, the garage is very much for small cars. Everything was great, would definitely stay again.

A comfortable, great place. Close to the beach. Furnished well. Tasteful.

by Sara H.
A comfortable, great place. Close to the beach. Furnished well. Tasteful. Clean and has all the extras. Full kitchen with kids\' plates and spoons too. A little loud sometimes but to be expected right next to the main road. Would stay there on vacation again!

Wow!! Beautiful in the photos, but even better in person!

by Jenny H.
Wow!! Beautiful in the photos, but even better in person! The location was perfect! Steps to the beach, yet private and away from the crowds when it was time to relax. The decor and finishes in this home are unbelievable and the home is equipped with everything you can think of, and then some! It was very easy to get in with the instructions provided to us and they checked in on us via text throughout the stay to make sure we had everything that we needed. My family had a great time there and we will put this one on her trip to stay there next year as well!

Could not recommend more for those looking to stay in PB.

by Corey A.
Walking distance to everything Pacific Beach has to offer - beach, restaurants/bars, Supermarket (Ralph’s). The private outdoor area, with the outdoor shower and large sliding glass doors, made the space feel much larger than what the pictures show. Overall, just a great layout for friends looking to stay in San Diego. The garage was a bonus, did not have a car by allowed friends we knew nearby to park. Overall management was helpful and responsive, checking in throughout my stay. Could not recommend more for those looking to stay in PB.

Clean and perfect location for our family vacation!

Clean and perfect location for our family vacation! Loved the outdoor spaces and how close it is to the beach.

Great Location in San Diego

by Shauna S
Walking distance from the beach. So close to Sea World and Petco Park. Nice set up for sleeping. Beds we comfortable and design was perfect. Two patios to enjoy the perfect weather. My family had a great time. We would definitely stay again.
June 2023

Would rent again

by Tamra G
Our family enjoyed the home, the location, the restaurants, the walks on the beach and around town. It was a lovely home and we would definitely stay there again.
