Remodeled Crystal`s See the Sea Condo on boardwalk

New photos of remodel at Crystal`s See the Sea Condo: Hot Tub, Parking, and Steps to Restaurants & Bars!

Welcome to our 2 bed/2 bath home, Crystal’s See the Sea Condo, located in Pacific Beach next to the Crystal Pier!

This unit was remodeled in late 2022 with completely new bathrooms, living room furniture, and kitchen appliances!

Crystal's condo is located in the "SEE THE SEA" Oceanfront Complex right on the boardwalk. There is nothing between this building and the ocean except for the famous Pacific Beach/Mission Beach boardwalk and the white sand beach.

This condo is located right in the middle of the action of Pacific Beach; surrounded by restaurants, shops, and the bustling boardwalk. From the balcony, (this is not an ocean front facing property) take in the corner view of the ocean and the ever changing activity and excitement right outside! The balcony is perfect for enjoying a cup of joe or libation with front row entertainment.

This location can’t be beat! Rent some bikes and take the family for a stroll along the 3.5 mile stretch of boardwalk. Find a nice spot on the pier where you can rent tackle and bait to fish in the sunshine in a matter of minutes, just steps away! Kono's very popular restaurant (breakfast and lunch only) is right across the street.

At See the Sea, relax in the lounge chairs in the common area which are behind a glass wall that cuts the wind off the ocean and provides a privacy barrier while still allowing you to enjoy the sight and sounds of the waves. There is also a jacuzzi to help you relax after a long day of sightseeing.

This first floor condo is just above the gated parking garage. There is an elevator for your convenience. The California-style kitchen with NEW appliances and 4 breakfast bar stools, opens to the dining and living room areas with a dining table for 4-6 guests, and is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and enjoy meals at home. This table can be moved to allow the Murphy bed to open from the cabinet for additional sleeping accommodations.

There is a king size bed in the master bedroom, and the guest bedroom has a double bed with a pull out single trundle bed. There is a full size Murphy bed in the living room. Both bedrooms have stunning private in-suite bathrooms, NEWLY remodeled! There are smart TVs with Cable mounted on the wall and roomy mirrored closets with plenty of space to keep the condo looking orderly. Beach accessories can be found in the second bedroom closet along with portable fans, portable heater, portable a/c units (additional rental fees apply), ironing board and iron, and plenty of hangers.

For your convenience, there's a coin operated washer and dryer right across the hallway and 1 reserved parking space in the gated garage under the condo building. You have the option to leave your car parked and walk to everything you need and just enjoy the wonderful temperate climate that San Diego is famous for!

We are happy to chat before booking if you have any questions! Please message us with your inquiry.

This property is not air conditioned. The listing is very misleading. We were charged an additional 500/week to add portable room air conditioners to the bedrooms and the living areas and bathrooms were not air conditioned.The condo and location are great otherwise, but we would not have rented a unit without A/C for a two week stay in August.

Family beach trip

The check in process was confusing because I didn’t receive an email with information until I requested it. However, when we did receive it, The email was very thorough and helpful.The location to the beach was nice and they had beach chairs, boogie boards. Beach toys and beach towels for us to use. We also appreciated the hot tub. Being able to park in a gated garage was more worth it than we thought. There is a bar across the street that gets noisy, but the hosts provide ear plugs if needed. We played white noise on our phone and it helped. This was the only negative thing I can think of.We were a family of 7 and used every bed.

Great location but expect lots of noise.

This location is amazing as it's basically right on the beach and within walking distance to essentially everything you need. It is extremely noisy at night as both windows face bars that are open until 2 A.M. plus the stragglers after they close. They do warn you about the noise and they are serious. My suggestion would be to pay the extra for the air conditioners to drown out the noise and so you don't have to open the windows. Parking is extremely convenient, and the communication is excellent. Even though it was extremely noisy to all hours of the night, I would stay again and try the air conditioners with the windows closed.

No AC, VERY VERY LOUD - horrible stay

The listing says it has AC but only if you pay extra for plug in units. Since this is an expensive place I was not going to pay extra for AC that they advertised! Thats a bate and switch and is probably illegal. This area is extremely loud- with 2 night clubs one on either side within FEET of our window and blasting music and bass until 1-2am. With no AC. you have to leave all the windows open and this makes the noise impossible to sleep. They also advertise a hot tub which looked like no one had been near it for 10 years - wouldn't set foot in it. False advertising and horrible stay. Families should NOT stay here. The building is run down and not very clean. The condo itself was fine but not worth the money we paid. I would not recommend this place. We could not sleep and that affected the entire trip. VRBO should not work with Nancy's vacation - they lied on the listing.

In the center of everything

See the Sea was a fantastic place. Right on the beach with amazing views and right in the center of all the SD fun. Everything you need is within walking distance. The place was clean and very spacious. Lots of beach toys for every age. The only potential issue that is beyond the capacity of the owners to take care of is because the location is in the heart of it all, it is loud, especially at night. For us it wasn't an issue. We kept the windows closed and the fans on and slept like babies. But for kids or actual babies, the noise might be a bit much. It is very manageable and worth it to be right in the center of it all. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone wanting the full San Diego experience!

I loved this place. The condo was in a great location and was very nice! I loved the tile in the bathroom it was so fun.

Perfect Location on Pacific Beach

This condo is located right on Pacific Beach, our particular condo unit, was convenient to the elevator and off by itself. Perfect location for breakfast, lunch and dinner spots with lots of variety. Get your walking shoes, skates or sandals on, lots of miles to walk down the beach, boardwalk or street shopping. Easy walk to Mission Beach. Can't wait to stay again, we LOVED it!

Could not have been better

Our family stayed at the condo for a week. We have a 3 year old and he had the best time. Lots of sand toys, beach chairs, and boogie boards. The condo had plenty of fans the we were able to move around to wherever they were needed. In the cupboards were spices and seasonings. A ton of kids plates, bowls, cups, and utensils. Really all we need to bring was food and sunscreen. The location was just right. Ralphs, CVS, and food was very close. TV's in each room with more than enough to watch and relax after a long day at the beach. We would recommend this condo for families. Parking garage was very convenient for parking and the building was secure and safe.

Good and not so good

Location was great. Communication was rough. Slow to respond and usually required more then one attempt or form (i.e two phone calls or a phone call and email) to get a hold of them. Once we booked we received a number of emails (7-8 which were confusing and not super clear) told us our booking was not confirmed until we did a few verification things. I completed these, but still never received a confirmation after that stating it was confirmed and booked. Had to call a few times to confirm. They are not helpful providing property specific information. Company with lots of properties, they don’t have confirmed details or specifics about the property. Broad answers to questions. For example, I asked if there were sand toys as they mention beach supplies. I was told no, so we purchased some on our way there, turns out there was a ton, which was great, but would have been nice to know, to save us the time and money. We were told there was a grill on the porch so some of the meals were planned had to be adjusted since there was not one there.

Great Condo, LOUD location

Overall, the property was clean, and as pictured. There was no BBQ grill on the balcony, but other than that, it was as described. Bogie boards and beach chairs were available to use, which was great. Location is steps from the beach--so that part was great! The one thing that I was not expecting was THE NOISE. This is a corner unit on a VERY BUSY CORNER. There was live music until 2 am on one side of the condo, and a busy bar/restaurant on the other side. So it was noisy until after 2 am each day, along with a chorus of emergency vehicle sirens that we heard at least once an hour all during the weekend hours. . Closing the windows helped, but the Condo was HOT. It was nice and cool and breezy outdoors, but in order to enjoy that, you had to put up with the noise. So, it was a trade off! Either hot and quiet, or loud and cool/breezy. Either way, it resulted in sleepless nights. Friday and Saturday nights were the worst, as you might expect, Sunday and Monday nights were quieter. If you have kids that are sensitive to noise--this is not the condo for you. If you want to enjoy the local bars and restaurants until the wee hours, it would be awesome for that!

Worst Property Ever

First, we only stayed in this property 1 day due to water leakage that was flooding the lobby floor from the property rented. Both showers were leaking to the lobby floor. The kitchen table leg was broke, missing screws. The chairs were zipped tied together. There was a huge whole in the ceiling in lobby and directly above was the property we rented. The property management did not inform us of the shower situation prior to arrival, but had knowledge of it. The maintenance man stated that no inspector had come out prior to our arrival to ensure the property was even safe to stay in. The door opener to get in the garage did not work and we were instructed to use the shopping chart from the inside of the garage to set the sensor off, to open garage door. For this being a first time in San Diego for some of our party, this was by far one of the worst experiences.

Location, location, location

We’ve stayed in several condos at sea the sea condominiums. This one was pretty basic. The property management are all over it. Very responsive and proactively communicate. Here’s how I’d summarize the condo: They spared no expense – literally, no expense. Think crash pad. If you’re trying to decide between this and another condo, go with the other condo. If this is all that’s left, you’ll survive because of the location. 😉
