This two-bedroom, one bath San Diego vacation rental located on Law St. in Pacific Beach is just a rocks throw away from the beach. Located just steps away from Pacific Beach and a few minutes' drive from La Jolla, this cozy Pacific Beach vacation rental sleeps 4 in beds but can accommodate 5\. There's something for the whole family, including SeaWorld San Diego just a 12 minute drive away - you could practically bike there! Crystal Pier is just a 5 minute walk on the boardwalk, or continue the walk down to Mission Beach and Belmont Park. There are plenty of restaurants and shops to check out along the way if you choose. Enjoy watching the sunsets from your private patio after a long day at the beach. The living room has large windows to really bring in the natural light and make it nice and bright inside. Relax on the leather couch and/or loveseat while watching your show of choice on the 50" TV, or stream a movie on Netflix using your own private wifi network. The kitchen has nice granite countertops, gas stove, dishwasher and all the other appliances you need to cook from home. The kitchen also has dishes, pots, pans, utensils etc. If you don't have something you need, just ask us about it. Both bedrooms have a queen-size bed so four people can comfortably stay here. Each room has two windows that let in plenty of sunlight during the day, and one has a small flatscreen TV. The bathroom has a matching granite countertop and tub/shower combo where you can wash off all the sand after a long day of surfing, swimming, or playing. This home also has a garage to park your smaller size rental car (full size SUV's will not fit inside the garage - dimensions are 93 inches wide, 15.5 feet long, 83 inches tall). You will also find boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, and wagon to use during your time at the beach. There's a grill and extra seating in the front shared patio space. No smoking is allowed inside any of our properties. This house (like most in the area) does not have air conditioning. Important: Before you arrive, you will be asked to complete guest verification through third-party provider Truvi. This is done to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Truvi will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. Please do so prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the condo: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Shower/bathtub combination - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82900000/82897300/82897248/c4809082.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### VIEWS \* Walk to Beach \* AC \* Dogs Ok \* Fire Pit Pacific Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=82897248&PinnedHotelID=82897248&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34330000/34328600/34328538/w3600h2401x0y0-a0317028.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Marlin at Law Street Beach - Pacific Beach Pacific Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor Space 9.4 Exceptional 74 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=34328538&PinnedHotelID=34328538&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121140000/121131900/121131892/5f340813.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pacific Sunrise Adorable coastal cottage w/ private backyard, excellent location, & free WiFi Pacific Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=121131892&PinnedHotelID=121131892&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33500000/33492800/33492784/w3600h2401x0y0-ebf59b44.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Shark - Pacific Beach Pacific Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor Space 9.8 Exceptional 151 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=33492784&PinnedHotelID=33492784&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/85000000/84280000/84273600/84273524/4e24e23f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 Bed / 1 bath BIG PRIVATE back yard LOCATION Linda Vista - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=84273524&PinnedHotelID=84273524&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35140000/35132700/35132643/f87a7448.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Entire house, yard and parking in Pacific Beach - Always Super Clean.
