    Ms. Wendy was a great pleasure to deal with. She explained everything we needed to know and got everything easily setup and ready for us.

    Sand City/Seaside Public Storage-?? Wendy & Nick were extremely helpful. They focused on meeting my needs and not on upselling. Wendy handled my phone reservation and Nick checked me in. Both listened and responded in a manner that was clear and understandable. They were friendly & considerate. Nick walked me thru registration and escorted me to my unit, making sure my key worked and all was in order. Highly recommend Public Storage 709 California Ave in Sand City, CA. ... Read more

    Really cannot stand using this storage facility. Make sure you read the fine print. The pricing goes up every 6 months. The prices are just ridiculous. If I would have known I would have never moved. Some of the employees are very nice and some of the employees are very rude just depends on who you talk to. ... Read more

    I've had a storage unit at this location for longer than I'd care to admit, and I can honestly say that I've always received top notch customer service from all the staff here. In fact, just recently, Wendy went above and beyond to help me out during a temporary financial hardship. Thank you, Wendy! :) About the location: The Sand City location is easy to get to, easy to park in for loading/unloading for both large moving trucks and personal vehicles, includes member-only access safety features with personalized entry codes and locked doors at all times, is always clean, is temperature/climate controlled, has a spacious elevator, and has no pest issues. There are usually enough moving carts available, but sometimes you have to wait for one to be returned. There's also a public bathroom in the office, which has come in handy on multiple occasions. And, the office sells moving supplies, in case you find yourself needing more tape, paper, or boxes etc while in the midst of move day. ... Read more

    I rented a unit Sept 2024. My unit had rope tied up on the sprinkler pipes and since I was having a busy day for me. I said that's fine and accepted it. Mon. Sept. 30 I came to the office to pay for October and I was told(by Wendy)that I am good and no need to pay and that my next payment wont be until November 1st. I asked to make sure and I took her word for it. BIG MISTAKE! Weeks gone by, I got a call from Public Storage telling me I'm late on my rental payment. Went to the office and informed Wendy of the issue. I made my payment and Wendy was nice enough to waive the late fee. (BUT NOT INFORMING ME that the time to process waiving the late fee WILL NOT grant me access to my storage.) Days gone by I found out my access code is not working and telling me to SEE THE MANAGER. This was after office hours. I pressed the button, called the number, knocked on the office door and got NOTHING. Couldn't get my tools to do extra work. Around 3rd week of October took time off early from work to make it to the office and told Wendy why I cannot access my storage that I've paid. She did something on the computer and then everything was ok and told me I'm good to go. Not feeling happy of the situations I was going through. I decided to vacate. October 31st my unit was cleared out. It was already late in the afternoon and the office was closed called and nobody answered on the phone or get a recording. Besides I had to do some Halloween stuff. November 1st, I reported that I'm moved out. Nick who was nice to help but can't resolve the issue told me I have to pay for November. Came back a couple days and Wendy said the same, I have to pay. I get it, it's policy. Let's go back to September 30. NONE OF THIS would have happened had my payment been accepted. I do my best to comply with policies but like any human, we all have our days. Why was I told I didn't have to pay. I DON'T KNOW. Got nothing against Wendy or Nick. But now I am being charged for a storage that I cannot use. I am really disappointed going back and trying this company again. Human error or not. Given the details above, I don't think it's fair at all. ... Read more
