Gem is a quite fitting name!
Location, vibe, & private hot tub! This place was just what we needed for our two week vacation in San Diego. A short walk from Tourmaline Surf Park & convenient to everything!

Exactly what I was looking for!
Perfect location for a morning coffee and beach stroll. Less than 10 min. walk to Tourmaline surf park and plenty of unique coffee & food options along the way. Super easy to get to/from the airport and the highway. We did leave SD a few times so having the garage parking made leaving easy and stress free. The place itself is cute and quaint and had the basics which was good enough for us. The private patio area and hot tub is an awesome feature, definitely wish we had more time to enjoy that space. Overall I’d absolutely stay here again, the host was helpful and easy to contact.

Clean and comfortable. We were surprised to learn that there was no central air in this unit. However, once we got a little more acclimated to the climate, the space was comfortable with all of the fans provided.

Perfect spot for our little family
This place worked great for us with our 1.5 year old, while exploring San Diego. Plenty of walkable restaurants, surf beach to walk to in the mornings, sand beaches to hang at all day only one mile away. The spot was clean and had a comfy couch and the hot tub was a nice addition that we didn’t expect to use much, but with the cold weather that came in, was much appreciated!

Great Patio and outdoor living
We enjoyed our stay at Kim’s place. We know the North PB area and Kim’s has a typical alley entrance, but the location is quite, has its own garage and private entrance. The place is spacious with a nice bedroom and comfortable bed. The best part is the large comfortable patio, which is unique in this area. There are a number of coffee shops and restaurants within a short walk and beaches are walkable, too. Good value.

Meh, it was ok
This place is adequate. It was clean. Bedroom is nice. Kitchen desperately needs to be updated (w a dishwasher). It’s kind of a cave with limited light. Neighbors are too close. It did the trick, but I wouldn’t stay again.

Great location and host!
We really liked this place. It was so simple to check in and out, and we were in a very central location. I loved the use of the hot tub! It’s not super private but the people nearby were not nosey or loud. We really liked it!

Perfect Get Away!
My husband and I were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary on our trip to San Diego. Our stay at the Saphire Gem was exactly what we needed! It was close enough to the beach to walk and also within walking distance to some amazing food places. There is also a private patio with a hot tub that you’re able to use which was great after our long days out walking around. Overall a great stay!!

Pacific Beach stay
Short walking distances to a great market and a great French bakery - can’t beat that. Nice clean hot tub in a pleasant courtyard although not very private - visible from two upstairs apartments right next door. The kitchen was decent although not as well appointed as some we stayed at. Close to some good restaurants on Cass Street. The two tv’s could have benefitted from some written instructions for the more technically challenged. We would stay here again.

Gem in the best SD neighborhood
Nestled in a great location straddling Pacific Beach and La Jolla, this place is a hidden gem with a private outdoor space, lots of natural light, and a hot tub! Stone's throw from a surf/coffee shop, grocery store, gas station, etc and walking distance to the beach (I surfed after I logged off working remote each day and just walked down in my bare feet). We took advantage of eating out the whole week, but the stove is a little dated for those looking to cook). Will stay again next time we are in San Diego, thanks!

Good location but ……..
I had a love hate relationship with this property. It feels wrong to be charged a cleaning fee when the house was dirty from the start. The very dated kitchen (disgusting stove) was almost horrible. Dirty dishes, pans, etc. we’re found in the cupboards. I literally had to wash everything we used. Throw pillows on sofa and bed were obviously dirty with grime and spots. All of that was very off putting. The good parts - bathroom was updated, sheets were clean, the bed was comfortable. The space inside was big enough, the outside space nice though not very private. The local area had lots of restaurants and an upscale grocery store close by. Getting to the beach was a nice short walk each morning. I found things to enjoy and and also things to hate. As usual the pictures posted don’t show any of the downside. Be aware that it’s not as spacious and modern as the pictures imply.

Cute spot in an awesome location!
The place was perfect for our weekend stay! Host was very communicative, checking to make sure our check-in process was smooth and that we were having a good experience. The main part of PB is just a 10-15 min walk away, and the beach is even closer! The bedroom is comfortable and spacious. Outdoor patio is really nice too!

Priced affordably and super cute!
Owner checked in everyday to make sure all was well and needs were met. Easy to get a in touch with and we forgot our bathing suits; owner is mailing them out for us which is above and beyond. The place is super clean and cute. Caddy corner from a bougie little grocery store and coffee stand we saved some breakfast money grabbing fresh baked goods and fresh brewed coffee for breakfast. Close enough to take a bird scooter to mission beach and pacific beach. We explored and walked across the street took a left and walked about 100 feet and you can look down and see a surfers paradise... So many people surfing and just enjoying the ocean. Def would book here again. Thanks so much Kim!

The apartment was in a great location and we especially enjoyed the hot tub and having a garage to park in. The kitchen needs updating but for the price, you can’t beat it. We would definitely stay here again.
