Best place to stay in San Diego 10+ 5/5 Stayed Dec 2018 Jim MN What a wonderful place on Mission Bay. We arrived Christmas Day. Cindy met us and showed us everything. She is a wonderful host! The unit is steps from the bay and has a beautiful walking path by the patio. We spent every morning on the patio, eating breakfast, reading and relaxing in the sun. Pacific Beach is a short (100 yards) walk away with a beautiful boardwalk along the ocean. You are also close to Belmont Park, shops and fun little restaurants. There is a Ralph's supermarket close by as well. This unit has everything you need for a vacation. If what you need isn't there, you don't need it. The bedroom is large with a comfortable bet and a large closet. We are making plans for a return visit in 2020 with our granddaughters. I have used VRBO on numerous occasions. All have been really good but this was the best by far. I can't wait to return. Submitted Jan 10, 2019

Relaxation on the Bay 5/5 Stayed Aug 2018 Julie S. My husband & I were in need of a 'break' & this was the ideal place. It was very clean & had all the right touches. I forgot playing cards for our cribbage tourney & even found a deck in the drawer! The location is perfect. We arrived on a Friday, took one drive out for lunch on Wednesday & didn't drive again! Lots of walks w/ a lot of choices near by. Cindy, the owner is a delight & is there & ready to help if needed. I just hope that this little gem is available the next time we need a 'break'! Thank you so much! Submitted Sep 15, 2018

We loved everything about our stay at this adorable place! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our stay was all we hoped for and more! From the moment we spoke with Cindy she was extremely accommodating and helpful. She met us when we arrived with a very warm welcome which started off our week perfectly. The apartment was spotless and equipped with everything we needed. We were able to settle in and enjoy our anniversary week hassle free. We spent much of our time on the patio which is right on mission bay. When we did leave, we walked just about everywhere. The location is fantastic. Close to the ocean and restaurants. I can't say enough about our entire experience. We will definitely go back! Date of arrival May 21, 2017

Great spot for young family ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stayed at the Dunlin for one week with our 6 and 3 year old boys. The location was perfect! The patio opens out to the calm waters of the bay. The kids loved playing in the sand and riding their scooters on the trail right in front of the house. There are also some water sport rental (e.g. paddle boats, kayaks, SUP) spots close by. The house had plenty of space for the four of us. Just a short drive to Sea World, zoo, downtown, etc. So much to do in San Diego! We definitely plan to return. Date of arrival June 17, 2017

Darold I. said... Jun 20, 2016 The perfect location for a family with children while on holidays 3532 Bayside Walk, San Diego, CA, 92109, United States Date of Stay Jun 9, 2016 Helpful votes: 3 We have never stayed at a VRBO before and my wife was a little reluctant as we have always stayed in hotels. After the first day there my wife quickly changed her tune and said never again would we stay in a hotel if we had a VRBO available! I have no negative comments about our stay except I wish we could have stayed longer! The location is perfect, you can see the fire works from SeaWorld, the beach is right outside your back patio door. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance as well as Belmont park which is an amusement park. You have the bayside beach outside your back door and the Oceanside beach only a block away. Several spots to rent bicycles from to tour the many walkways. There are too many good things to mention about this location. Cindy was very professional to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to rent from her again. The house was extremely clean and had everything we required including beach toys for our daughter. My Response Hello and thank you for your great review and taking the time to share with others. It was great to have your family come stay at our rental, The Dunlin. I love families and yours was top of the list. We love our Canadian neighbors and always welcome them to our rentals. We love that your first experience was positive and that you will feel comfortable coming back to any of our rentals. Thank you too, for taking such great care of our home. We are honored to have had the experience of hosting you and your family. Come again to our beach front home anytime. Best Cyndi

Jul 7, 2016 Wonderful place for family vacation and couples 3532 Bayside Walk, San Diego, CA, 92109, United States Date of Stay Jun 17, 2016 Helpful votes: 7/0 We enjoyed our stay so much! Cynthia has everything worked out in detail (a binder has all the info you may need for grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals, etc) ahead of your stay so you do not have to think about anything but having a good time. There were sand toys, beach chairs, an umbrella and beach towels which we used daily. The kids slept out on the sleeper sofa and we slept in the back bedroom. I used the shared washer/dryer during the last 2 days of our stay with no problem. The other guests in neighboring units were also very friendly. We would love to stay again. The bay side seems quieter than the ocean side which is great at night. The ocean is just a few blocks walk so we spent the days on that side and walked back to the more subdued area for patio dining. Thank you again for a great trip! My Response The pleasure was ours to have such a wonderfully respectful family such as yours. We appreciate you, and thank you for taking such great care of The Dunlin. Its always an honor to have families such as yours as our guests. I have said this before, its what fill our wells, and keeps the business and our spirits fresh. Also, thank you for the time you have taken to write a great review. Many potential vacationers will have the information from you to make a decision on The Dunlin. Come back to us any time. Best Regards to you and your family. Cyndi

Best vacation we've ever had.3532 Bayside Walk, San Diego, CA, 92109, United States Helpful votes: 5/0 Owner/Manager was absolutely wonderful to work with at every interval and their hospitality was just delightful. The Dunlin cottage was even more than we were hoping for, a far better place to stay than any hotel could offer. A great place for a couple to rest and relax and rejuvenate on Mission Bay. It is beautifully beachy decorated. It contained everything we needed for a week of no worries. All we needed to do was buy food. I can't say enough how much my husband and I enjoyed our stay. Neither of us wanted to go home. We hope to visit again some day. Thank you so much for the most enjoyable vacation we've ever had. My Response: Thank you, thank you so very much for choosing The Dunlin. You both were the perfect guests, in so many ways. Thoughtful, kind, funny, respectful and an honor to meet have come stay. The Maine maple syrup and jam were such nice and thought gifts. Its folks like you both, that make it all worth it for me. I am so happy you had such a memorable vacation at The Dunlin. Come again anytime and hopefully soon. Best Regards Cyndi

A Little Piece of Paradise 3532 Bayside Walk, San Diego, CA, 92109, United States (306762) Date of Stay March 31, 2015 Helpful votes:1/1 Perfect location to get to everything San Diego has to offer. With the view of Mission Bay in front of us and the ocean a very short walk away, we had the best of both worlds! We enjoyed the calmer, tranquil, less hectic atmosphere of Mission Bay from our patio, and walked to the ocean side to take advantage of the gorgeous sunsets every night. Both the bay side and the ocean front have miles of walkways for biking, walking, skateboarding, and Segue-ing! We didn't rent a car while in SD for 10 days; city buses were easy to use and stop very near the condo. Uber was a great way to travel, too! The condo was not only comfortable, but pristine. Cynthia, the owner, provided everything to help make the stay easy and homey. Giving suggestions for eating places, helping with public transportation questions, answering email inquiries quickly, taking care of needs promptly all added up to feeling we were in good hands. One of us was recovering from hip replacement surgery, and felt this was the place to be to easily get around. We hope to return soon! Recommended for: People with Disabilities, Sightseeing, Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Age 55+, Romantic Getaway My Response Hello Kathryn, Oh I loved having you both and felt such joy in seeing your stay and vacation be such a happy and content one. You both were excellent guests in every way, and I am honored after all your travels around the world, that you were so happy with our accommodations, service and San Diego as well. We are very blessed to have such wonderful guests such as yourselves. Come again anytime, especially when the Midwest is blowing a cold storm. Best Regards to you both. Cyndi
