Parking was a problem with a Honda CRV, Nissan Altima, and Toyata Tundra. Once we figured it out we managed, but we were never able to close any garage doors.
I just wish you could have done something about the cold weather we had. We would love to come back again.
Great property, great location, very spacious, very satisfied.
This is the second year we have rented this great house. It is the perfect house for our family. The furnishings and decor are lovely and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Very clean and well maintained. Close to the beach, shopping, etc. We'll be back!
I had a fantastic stay at the Big Kahuna. The house was very nice, the rooms big and the furniture fitting for a nice weekend beach stay. A brief walk from the beach (four houses away) and within walking distance of downtown PB. There is also a great deli right across the street that makes it easy to have a nice snack. I would highly recommend staying here, I had a great time.
We had a great weekend at the Big Kahuna - the beatiful weather contributed to the enjoyment, but the rental home was configured just right for my big family of children with spouses and grandkids. Plenty of beds and bathrooms on separate floors. Living room and kitchen on main floor just right for meals and games or movie watching in the evening. Location perfect - short walk to either the ocean or bay beach.Property managers attentive and helpful. I appreciate learning from the reviews of others not to expect too much in the way of parking, but we did fit two mid-size cars (Acura, Infinti) in the 2 car garage, tight, but fine; and a Toyota Camry in the small garage leaving the door open. Better than parking on the street or at Santa Clara point a few blocks away. New carpets just installed.Internet service is through the modem in the downstairs bedroom. If I return again I will take a router to have WiFi on other floors.Beach toys (plastic buckets and wheeled toys,etc.) contributed to fun for little kids; nice to have.
in your instructions you should indicate that we need to provide addl trash bags and coffee filters--- we could have brought some from home or we aat lest would have known that we needed to get spome at the grocery store. Also it would be nice to have small bowls for salsa etc.also, it is virtually impossible to get 2 medium sized cars in the garage--- it would be ok if one was a compact carthanks--- otherwise the place was great
Dear Robert, Thank you for taking the time to fill out our guest survey. We strive to offer an much information prior to your arrival via our Guest Information Email. This email provides the list of items that your vacation home is stocked with in regards to Trash liners, paper towels, TP etc.. We also provide the guest arrival instructions which offers Garage Measurements if requested. Vehicles are so many different sizes these days.. it is difficult for us to know if a car or cars will fit in the parking areas so we do offer the measurements to help our guests to plan for their arrival. We will certainly look into getting some smaller bowls for "Salsa" Great suggestion. Thank you! We do hope to accommodate you in the future and please know we will always offer you at least a $50 discount on a future visit with us! Best Regards, Daphinne Accomazzo
My family and I had a great time in San Diego and the house was perfect! Thanks again for a great place, location and overall awesome experience!
Thank you for taking the time to fill out our guest survey. We look forward to your next visit!
Had a Great Time - Great location - near the ocean and near the bay. Kids loved the freedom. also close to Belmont Park. Ideal location, great house - lots of room. 2nd time we stayed there...will be back!!!!
If the outdoor grill on the patio would have been clean and working, our stay would have been FANTASTIC. We really enjoy grilling some meals, so that couldn't happen--------but we survived.
Dear Nola, Thank you for staying with us again!! We do have an after hours number that you can call when you have any problems. We also guarantee our properties and grills will be clean and if such items have been overlooked we will send someone right over to take care of it. We hope to accomdate you in the future and will do our best to make the next visit FANTASTIC. Thank you for always choosing Sandy Beach Rentals!
This house was great for our big family. We have stayed here twice and love it. We would just love the very top to not be so hot, more windows would help.
Thank you for choosing Sandy Beach Rentals! We look forward to your next visit.
It was perfect for our family. Great decor with lots of room. It is close to the beach in an area that is not crowded. Overall it was a great vacation rental. However, there are a couple of things that could be improved. The home was very clean, except for the carpet which needed cleaning. We did not care for the glass topped dining table with folding wooden chairs. The chairs were wobbly and both the table & chairs need to be replaced.
We absolutely loved our stay. Very spacious! We had a wonderful stay in SD!
Once again we had a fabulous week. Perfect weather and perfect location. The house is perfect for our group and we had a great time! Thanks!
We found the best way to celebrate our Mom's 90th birthday was to get together as a family. The big Kahuna House was the perfect setting. The common area was large enough for all of us to relax and talk as well as eat together. The bedrooms were comfortable and offered privacy for moments you wanted to get away. San Diego had lots to do, but the beach was also a tremendous drawing card.While we cooked most of our meals, there were many restaurants nearby for a change of pace.This was a vacation we will never forget.
We love the Big Kahuna because it meets our needs in regards to sleeping space, proximity to the beach and the ability to have a little private space to read, etc. away from the rest of the group. The only observations we made this year that weren't entirely positive are:1) Some of the rattan furniture in the living room is beginning to break down and sharp edges catch on clothing.2) The mattress in the downstairs bedroom is brutal and should possibly be replaced.
We had two wet suits stolen off the porch. It would have been nice to be warned not to leave anything out. The street noise (Mission Blvd) was a little loud.
The stove top never got fixed even with a amainteneance guy out there. The carpets were stained pretty bad. Overall it was an excellent value.
Deat Tony, Thank you for taking the time to fill out our guest survey. We have been able to repair the stove top after the ordered part came in and the carpets have been scheduled for cleaning as well. We do hope to accomodate you in the future! Please save this email for a $150 discount on your next visit! Thank you! Daphinne Accomazzo
The location in Mission beach is great. The patio area downstairs is nice enough. Overall comfortable home. Cons are:1> AC doesn't work so it gets really warm2> The interiors and furnishings are a little dated, rugs and carpets need replacement in some areas3> Cleaning fee is $200, but you're expected to keep the place fairly clean, throw towels into the wash, wash/dry and put back all the dishes, clean the stove. They should be paying me.
DearArjun, Thank you for your comments. We strive to offer great comfortable homes and want your visit to be a favorite vacation. This home was proffesionally decorated just 5 years ago with a Tommy Bahama decor and has always been one of our best properties. It does not actually offer A/C as most properties near the beach do not offer this amenity. We do ask our guests to clean up any times that may have food on them or spills, crumbs, well as taking out the rubbish. This helpsus keep pests away. We do not require our guests to do any laundry or cleaning other than food items. We hope to accomodate you in the future. We do have 3 homes that offer A/C and will do our best to find the perfect property for your visit. We also offer our returning guests a discount! We hope to have you back in the future. Best Regards, Daphinne Accomazzo
Thanks for a fantastic week in San Diego. The Big Kahuna was a stone's throw awaty from the beach - and only a litle further to the shops and the Bay. We all had a fantastic holiday and were blown away by the comfortable accomodation and it's location but particularly by the friendly helpful people we encountered. We will be back soon hopefully
We love this house and would like to do it again next year, the same time (last week in June). The house did not seem as fresh and clean as when we rented it last year. The carpets were definately dirtier and more worn and the futon couch cushion in the living room needs to either be cleaned really well or be replaced because it smelled. We also had a problem with a running toilet in the downstairs bathroom that eventually overran. We love this house but it does need some freshening in the carpets and the futon couch. We will be back.
We had our bike stolen from the garageand we were lookin for a house on the sand not down the ally...
Dear Mr. Keeter, We are sorry you did not enjoy this specific property. We do hope to have you return in the future and we have several other homes that are Beach Front. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. We do hope to accommodate you in the future. Daphinne Accomazzo
