Being from england, we don't really celebrate
Thanksgiving and always make the most of the time
off work and go away on vacation. This year we
decided to go to San Diego and was instantly drawn
to the condo at Pacific beach. When we got there, it
exceeded our expectations. Right on the beach, the
sound of the ocean was mesmerizing. We were
made to feel very welcome with fresh fruit, candy
and cookies (for our kids). The condo did not lack
anything, it probably was one of the better equiped
vacation properties we have stayed at!! We felt at
home instantly! If only our real home had the same
view and sound of the ocean!!!
We loved the location, within walking distance of
great bars and restaurants. We had Thanksgiving
dinner at JDRN, along the boardwalk, which was
fantastic. When I ask our kids what their favourite
thing was, they say, the frozen yogurt at
YogurtLand! Just around the corner (near Denny's)!!
We loved San Diego, so much to see and do, I think
we will definitely be back!!
Thanks again!! |

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Capri by the
Sea" and found everything we needed in the condo.
The kids were so grateful for the boogie boards and
that ended up being their favorite thing to do! The
kitchen was nicely equipped and the bathroom was
wonderful. It was great to have a laundry down the
hall and we felt very secure with the guard in the
lobby and the special key fobs. We also took
advantage of the rooftop grill and great views.
Probably the best thing about the condo was its
location: we were within a 10-15 minute drive of
everywhere we wanted to go. Thanks for opening
your place to us! |

I just wanted to let you know that we just got home
from a wonderful week at your condo. We were so
comfortable there and it was a great place to come
"home" to at the end of our daily adventures.
The kids loved the pool and the beach and I
couldn't get enough of the view from the lounge
part of the sofa! Rowena was great and the family-
friendly touches (high chair, play pen, beach toys)
were very much appreciated. We'll definitely be
looking you up if we return to San Diego in the
future!
Thanks again!

| We enjoyed our second visit in this nicely renovated appartment. There is hardly anything you would miss from home. We and our children (6 and 8) just love the place. The view, the sunsets, the beach and the pool just great. We are already sure we will come back next time. |

| From the moment we booked Laura's condo in Pacific Beach-it was a great and very organized experience. The pictures on the listing do not do justice to the beautiful views right outside the sliding glass door. Rowena was wonderful when we checked in-making suggestions for Sea World, restaurants, and transportation to the US Open. She was also available when we needed information about the condo or the area for the entire week. The condo is beautiful and in a great location close to La Jolla and San Diego. Our kids really enjoyed the heated pool after a long day of sightseeing. We will definitely book with Laura again on our next trip to Southern California! |

On a scale of 1 to 10, we'd rate this experience -- a 100!!! The condo is absolutely gorgeous, well-appointed, comfortable and with all sorts of conveniences and amenities provided. The view from the unit is absolutely stunning, and every day, we saw dolphins frolicking in the ocean -- a totally unexpected delight!
Everything posted on the web-site, pictures and all, was absolutely accurate, and we'd echo all the positive comments prior guests have made.
We loved the location, with a nearby grocery, multiple restaurants (The French Gourmet was a personal favorite!), and of course, all its nearby recreational opportunities -- walking on the beach, biking along the ocean, shopping or simply relaxing by the pool or in the condo with a book (and that glorious view!) Even the weather cooperated, being sunny and warm virtually the entire time, during mid to late January -- a far cry from the weather back home in Wisconsin!
For those with concerns, the security in the building is failsafe, and the laundry rooms were very handy for our two-week stay.
Finally, we truly can't say enough about our hosts! Laura Vail Sage was lovely and went out of her way to accomodate us in every way, and to promptly address any questions or concerns we had. And it was truly wonderful having Rowena on-site to welcome us, offer us recommendations, and solve any problems that might arise. She's an absolute dear and it was lovely knowing she was available at the end of the phone, and close enough to stop by if the need arose. She would bend over backwards for a guest, and her knowledge and competence, her kindness and her personal charm ensured that everything about our stay was far more than satisfactory. In fact, she was responsible for some of the most delightful times we had during our stay in Pacific Beach!
Perhaps the best measure of all of our our complete and utter delight in our two weeks at the Sage's condo at Capri by the Sea, is the fact that we decided, before even departing for home, to re-book for the following year! |

Our stay in the San Diego Condo was excellent and we had a wonderful time, and for sure we are going to return back again in the near future, we also like to thank Rowena for being very helpful sorting for us the parking, and giving us valuable advise on restaurants, shopping centers etc.
Thank you again

| We really enjoyed our time in this condo - great view and really well appointed with big fluffy towels and nice bed linens, and lots of beautiful tilework throughout. It was like staying in a 4-star hotel, only better! Rowena provided lots of advice and was available whenever we had questions. Good place to stay - we highly recommend it! |

We LOVED staying in your condo!!! The only major problem we had was that it was so nice & the view so beautiful, that we had a hard time getting going in the mornings--not a bad problem to have, eh? My mother-in-law had a wonderful time, which make us happy, as we had planned this as a special trip for her. She had never seen the ocean (on either coast), so she couldn't believe that she was waking up to it every day. I think if we had done nothing but just stayed in the condo, she would have been happy.
Some friends of hers who now live in San Marcos came to pick her up to take her to lunch couldn't believe the view! I wouldn't be surprised if you hear from them sometime, as they asked for the web site.
Besides everything else, it was so nice to meet Rowena - so nice to have someone welcome us and to know that if we needed anything she was just a phone call away with all kinds of recommendations. Very personable and knowledgeable.
We seem to return to San Diego at least every couple of years, so we hope your unit will be available when we return. It is not only a beautiful place to stay, but very convenient to everything we like to do. |

We just returned from our Thanksgiving holiday at this AMAZING condo. Everything the previous visitors have raved about is true. This condo has it all!!
We decided to cook Thanksgiving dinner at the condo and let me tell everyone, the condo was not lacking for anything to prepare a Thanksgiving spread of all the traditional dishes (even a cookbook, which came in very handy as well). It is truly a HOME away from HOME!! The only difference was we where looking at the beautiful ocean and hearing its sounds instead of starring at SNOW !! The location couldn't be better,close to grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants (let me recommend the FIREHOUSE and Kono's Cafe) all within walking distance.
This was truly the most memorable Thanksgiving celebration we have had and I would like to thank the Sage's and their Property Manager for providing their home with everything needed to accomplish that. We will definitely stay here every time we return to San Diego. |

We found the condo at Capri by the Sea to be very well fitted out and clean. The location was first class and there was plenty to do.
One of the problems we had was getting the TV repaired and we were without service for three days which was not helped by the fact that I broke a bone in my foot on the beach and was basically house bound.
We also could have done with a welcome pack with a map of the immediate local area and the various shops in which to get groceries as we did not have a car.

Homeowner Response:
There was another TV in the bedroom for renter's use. We appologize for the problem - the high humidity this summer has taken out TV's in many beach front units. We have replaced this TV with a new flat screen TV for renter's enjoyment. Laura Sage

| We had a fabulous time at this condo. The owners are exceptionally easy to rent from. Great location - easy to get to Sea World, Zoo, restaurants, etc... Right on a gorgeous beach that is not full of under 25 partiers. One of the few places in San Diego that is on the beach and has a pool. We would definately rent here again. |

Our stay at the condo was wonderful! It was absolutely beautiful. The view, the weather, the furnishings and atmosphere... all of it was perfect. My family and I would like to thank the Sage's for sharing their place and allowing us a truly relaxing environment to have our vacation. The beds were very comfy, the living room is great because you can relax anywhere on the couch and enjoy the view. And the kitchen is marvelous! The pool is only a few steps away and there are plenty of places to dine within walking distance. My husband and I definitely want to come again. I can't thank you enough. We are so lucky to have found the perfect place to stay.

| We live in San Diego and decided this year to actually vacation here instead of flying away somewhere. I found this Oceanfront condo and booked it online, easily, and hoped it would all work out. INCREDIBLE! The property has everything you could need and is extremely comfortable. This met and defintely excceeded our expectations. |

| This place is perfect, it is spacious, clean, bright and literally right on the beach. Great location-it's a 5 minute walk to the main strip in Pacific Beach, filled with restaurants, shops and bars. The Sage's are extremely pleasant and accomodating and returned our deposit promptly. When we return to San Diego, we will definitely stay here again! |

| Our family had a wonderful time at the Capri. The condo was very comfortable and the view was spectacular. Beautiful sunsets, surfers and even dolphins were visible from the living room. Security was very good although the area seemed pretty safe and we walked to many of the shops and restaurants. Next time we plan a trip to San Diego we hope to stay here again as this was an ideal place for a small family. Thanks Laura! |

| I stayed in the unit for almost 3 weeks. The unit overall was clean and in good repair. The view was SPECTACULAR! The neighborhood was quiet and safe, however, just a few blocks away were lots of bars, food and shopping. The security staff was pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend this unit, it's location is ideal and it has all of the ammenities necessary to make your stay enjoyable |

| We enjoyed the wide Pacific views (and sunsets) so much that we fixed and ate dinner every night in the condo. There was simply no place else in San Diego where we could have had such a great view and refreshing ocean breeze. The location is great for watching surfers and all those others who enjoy Pacific Beach. We'll definately rent here again. |
