San Diego Beach King

"We have stayed at many of the Beach King rentals. Never had too many problems (except one time when Maurice just let himself into the rental while we were there). BUT I am editing my review because I was the victim of Beach Kings greed. A few days ago I rented a property for a week, paid for it, got confirmation, everything. I booked airplane tickets for 6 PEOPLE then about an hour and a half later I get an email that my reservation has been cancelled. Maurice claimed the system wasnt working right and the unit was double booked. So my reservation gets cancelled. I email him, letting him know that this is wrong. I have booked airplane tickets, we have 6 people coming, we have stayed at his properties multiple times, and he does not care. Then he says the next day the system will be fixed and he will let me know. So the next day he tells me the property is open, i can re-book. What he fails to mention is the price is now almost $3000 more! So apparently he thought he could get more for the rental than I paid, so he cancelled my reservation, raised the price, and then told me to re-book. Slimy. I will not be returning to any beach king property and I will make sure to let others know the same. For the price, you can get a much nicer rental. Look elsewhere. You do not get the luxury promised, just greed. I was always fine with the lack of amenities, cleanliness and quiet for the location and price, but now the price is too high to justify. Go find another place to rent."

"This is the place to be. The location is perfect not the busiest place on the beach nor the slowest. Tons of places to eat shop and play within walking distance. Belmont is 2 miles away. The owner and staff are people you want to be renting from. When we arrived the washer was not running water after one phone call it was fixed with a flip of a switch in a matter of minutes. There is plenty of space. We stayed in unit 4 with a family of 6, 3 adults and 3 children. We all were able to fit comfortably. Now, the magic, the view is everything we could ask for. The dolphins came by a few times durning our stay to give us our own private show. The sunrises and sunsets are such a treat. We even enjoy the people watching. Kitchen is stalked with dishes, bathroom is stalked with towels. Ralphs is a block away for anything else you may want or need. Haven’t even left and we already can’t wait to come back."

"DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! I am unable to leave a review on my Hotel website so leaving it here. We spent $750 a night for an Oceanfront unit in Mission Beach. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE Location wonderful view Overly tight Parking caused rental car damage Memorizing three different punch codes stressful Thin window screen ok during the day but see through at night. Freaky people being able to see you with the shade down. No drapes. Unit ice wet cold at night with no space heaters. Knobs missing on wall heater so you can't adjust. Small tiny Television a Hellscape barely works very stressful. A $200 TV in a Unit pulling in $15,000 a month? Shower head a joke- shower is clogged back wash which is unsanitary and could cause a Staff infection. Blender broken Buffalo stomper cleaners all morning starting at 8am above to wake you up. The lighting is terrible. Washer dryer squeaks loudly. The couches are uncomfortable to sit on but ok for sleeping on. Dishwasher doesn't clean dishes or soap doesn't dissolve- not sure which The ABSOLUTE WORSE was the ceiling fan at random unprovoked while you are sleeping turning on full blast and spewing air all over the room. The patio was nice listening to the waves.  Also nice to walk to food. Beach King needs to improve their racket."

"Very comfortable condos, with well equipped kitchens, full baths, clean and spacious bedrooms... and you can't beat the proximity to the beach."

"Great place to stay just a couple minute walk to the beach. House was just the right size for our family of 5."
