Villa Blanca is a beautifully restored six unit vacation rental apartment complex in a safe, tranquil, garden like setting steps to the beach and boardwalk. We refreshed the apartment in November 2025 with new flooring, paint, and lighting. All of the apartments are named after world famous beaches. Our 'Catalina' apartment is bright and sunny with spectacular white water ocean views. You can hear the waves and smell the surf! This spacious one bedroom, second floor, apartment is charming and bright . The large galley kitchen is fully equipped for making a gourmet meal or simply packing a picnic lunch for the beach. The grounds of the building contain a barbecue area and outdoor shower with beach toys and boogie boards. This upscale, family friendly neighborhood is a minute walk from every restaurant cuisine you can imagine, plus shopping, grocery stores, bars and all the boardwalk activities. Freeway access to all San Diego attractions is nearby.


If you're planning a family reunion, wedding, corporate event or are traveling with multiple friends or family members Villa Blanca is a perfect alternative to a larger house or hotel. The entire vacation complex can accommodate up to 20 adults plus children. The complex consists of two large buildings. Building one has two apartment on the second floor...a one bedroom/one bath and a two bedroom/one bath. The ground floor is the same..both floors have shared porches and ocean views. The second building has two apartments on the second floor with two bedrooms/one bath. Please contact us for further details if you would like to rent multiple apartment or plan an event.

    This property REEKS of mildew and mold. The building has not been kept up and there are numerous dangerous electrical issues. Lights flicker. Outlets do not work. Lightbulbs burnt out. Sockets where the light bulb has gotten to hot and the socket is unusable. Fire alarms were broken or batteries missing and property manager did not replace batteries even after informed. Screens in windows were falling out, allowing bugs in and I did not feel safe enough to keep all windows open at night. Windows do not lock correctly. Hot water heater makes loud banging noises & sounds like an icemaker continually. Furniture was filthy and needs replaced. Towels and bedding were spotted and stinky. Bedroom closet smelled like dog. Bedding on bed smelled sour. Ceiling fan broken. Other fans did not work or were so rusty they were falling apart. Lamps in bedroom falling apart and did not work. Dishes and silverware filthy. I thought the moldy smell was going to make me ill. I woke up choking in the middle of the night. I couldn't wait to leave. To top it off, as soon as I booked, I emailed owner to ask if I could get an early check in and ask what type of hairdryer was provided in the unit. She responded that, This is not the Four Seasons and told me I should cancel my reservation. I was appalled at the unprofessional, disproportionate response & should have heeded this red flag. She is clearly a slumlord. Stay far away from Seahawk Vacations and Villa Blanca. Greed & filth abounds.

    Short walk to the beach, restaurants of all types and Crystal Pier. Neighbors are close by, can hear them and their dog while in the apartment. Not luxurious or fancy but queen matress was comfortable.

    Location was great. cleanliness could have been better. Parking was a challenge. Oven didn't work. Grilles on the heater & bath fan were disgusting.

    An older property that can use a fresh coat of paint, especially on the doors and wood trim. Could use new windows, as some of the screens were ripped. The property manager was prompt in bringing me a coffee machine , and light bulbs. Location was excellent!

    Very easy to find and ocean views were great. Very clean and cozy. The only 2 things were parking first come first serve. The other thing was the cooking pans needed to be update and a few utensil were outdated. Overall it was great and can't wait to come again.

    If we are back in the area, we would stay again! Property manager is on WhatsApp which was very helpful since we only had access to Wifi based communication. Just wish the weather was better!

    Great location, very close to the beach and amenities such as restaurants and groceries. Generally quiet with just a little street noise off Mission Blvd. Will definitely rental there again.
