Situated in San Diego, 200 metres from Sail Bay Beach and 1.4 km from Pacific Beach, Bay Beach Bungalow offers air conditioning. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The holiday home has facilities for disabled guests.

This place was perfect for us. Being able to wake up and walk 50 feet to the beach was great. The kids had so much fun digging in the sand and swimming in the ocean. Having some boogie boards and sand toys available at the property was a great bonus. There were bikes too but we just didn't have enough time. The showers were super. We didn't use the kitchen other than the microwave but everything looked good. Communication with the hosts was very easy and they provided everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay again!

    Location - plus and minus : Located right in the watershed of several great areas- such as Gaslamp and Little Italy. Walked to Seaport Village and Midway Museum as well. Perfect location for us due to proximity to daughter’s apartment. Close proximity to great neighborhoods, but not actually IN a great neighborhood, not a place to walk alone, especially at night.

    Great location. I went to the baseball game and the stadium was within walking distance of the hotel! The Seaport Village and the waterfront walkway are a real plus, too! And the hotel is just a short cab ride from the airport. Lots to recommend!

    Last year we had a view of the bay (awesome). This time we had a city view, but we still could see the bay (again awesome). Seaport village is a 5 minute walk. The aircraft carrier museum "The Midway" is about a 10 minute walk, and the Embarcadero is right there also. The pool is nice, also the hot tubs. Oh yeah, high fives for the valet team. Awesome people. Don't forget to tip these guys, they do an excellent job.

    Perfect location next to Seaport Village and within easy walking distance to Gaslamp District, MTS stations, USS Midway and Petco Park. The hotel is very big but always feels extremely clean and the staff make you feel extremely welcome. Take advantage of the complimentary offers that come with the room, including free kayak hire and discounts at local shops/restaurants. Pool facilities were very clean and the pool is heated so a lovely temperature.
