Perfect spot!!
We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The location was perfect. We walked pretty much everywhere. We have three kids ages 10, 7 and 1 and this house was perfect for all three. Tons of toys for the beach and even toys/games for at the house. The house itself had everything we needed! Towels, silverware, cooking utensils, etc. Fully stocked! We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely book again!!

Can’t say enough great things about stay and our hosts! It really was like staying with friends who weren’t there. Aside from no AC on 2 horribly hot/humid nights it was great short trip! We’ll be back for sure!!

Great Vacation Spot
This house is exactly as advertised. The location couldn’t be more perfect. The house was clean and well stocked with plenty of supplies. The views are phenomenal. Beware, the garage is very narrow. We were unable to get one of our vehicles in the garage but we were able to find other convenient parking nearby. You can easily hear noise from the upstairs unit but the owners give you resources to help manage that if it becomes excessive. Great stay. We loved it.

2024 Fun
Such a fun way to kick off 2024. Visited San Diego with my family of 5 and my brother’s family of 4. We had two kids 12 and under and three teens 14-16. Plenty of things for all kids to do on the boardwalk, beach, amusement park, and nearby shops. We definitely want to visit again. Can’t beat this location!

Super get a way
The cental location and right on the beach was perfect. You are off the main road so that you hear the waves and not traffic. The kitchen was well equiped and worked well along with the bbq. We eat most of our meals in. We ere surprised at the extensive beach equipment available. This place is really well outfitted. Mark was very attentive. Anytime we had a question he responded quickly. We highly recommend this place. We will be back. Thanks for a great week.

Amazing location
Really enjoyed our long weekend at this property! More than enough beds for all of us and the location/views can't be beat. As other reviews have mentioned, the parking garage is very narrow so make sure to have friends help you back in. Place was clean and the only complaint (very minor) was we could've used more bathroom towels. Otherwise, fully stocked with tommy Bahama chairs and beach towels. Would definitely return. Thanks for an amazing trip!

A fantastic stay
We loved our stay at Gull’s Nest. The weather wasn’t as warm as we had hoped but fortunately, the rental was fantastic enough on its own that we had still had a great time. The location can’t be beat. So much to do. But even doing nothing is enjoyable here!! We definitely hope to return next year!

Great location!
House is perfect location with amazing views. Great accommodation for a beach day with chairs and coolers. We enjoyed the patio area that made for great people watching. Cleaners could have paid closer attention to a few areas such as the dishes, fans, and floors. House was a little outdated but the views made up for it.

Excellent in every way
This beautiful beach house was the perfect setting to celebrate our daughter's graduation from SDSU. It was so nice to have the family all together in one spot. The location and outdoor patio is so nice. The house was equipped with so many nice touches, plenty of supplies and beach equipment. The most impressive part was the wonderful service from Mark & Tara. When I realized the iron wasn't working I messaged Mark that I really needed to iron the graduation gown, he was there in 30 minutes with a new iron. Very impressed. I hope we can visit again!
