    Read some helpful reviews of Pacific Coast Self Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

    Five stars for Mari at the front desk! She made the process seamless and was incredibly helpful. I chose this location because other places were out of my size, and while Mari’s service is truly top-notch, the facility itself could use some upgrades to better justify pricing that is comparable to the competition. Mari really makes the experience! ... Read more

    We had a great experience with Pacific Coast Self Storage. The facility was clean, secure, and easy to access. Mari was especially helpful—she was friendly, responsive, and made everything easy to understand. Excellent customer service can be hard to find, and Mari consistently went above and beyond to help us whenever we had questions. I would definitely recommend Pacific Coast Self Storage to anyone looking for a storage unit in the area. ... Read more

    Mari was awesome! Helped me get setup right away and made the whole process very easy. The unit itself is spacious enough for all my belongings. I like the location too since it’s tucked away and not near any major streets or foot traffic. Highly recommend. ... Read more

    They increased the price on my unit by $30 and refused to negotiate. I was told they would ask management but never got a call back. I understand prices change, but this is outrageous. Price gouging drives customers away. Don't fall for the introductory rates. ... Read more

    I’ve had a really positive experience with this storage facility from the very beginning. Mari is consistently super nice, helpful, and accommodating. Anytime I’ve had questions or needed assistance, she's been responsive, patient, and genuinely pleasant to work with, which makes a huge difference! The facility itself is very well maintained. It’s always clean, well-lit, and feels safe and secure when I visit, even during early or later hours. It’s clear that they take pride in keeping the property in great condition. Access is easy and convenient, and I’ve never had any issues with my unit or the overall experience. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this storage facility to anyone looking for a reliable, safe, and well-managed place to store their belongings. ... Read more

    I had the most amazing experience with Mari. The wonderful lady at the front desk. Great conversation, super helpful, and just a kind soul. Usually when people require a storage unit, it can be stressful and filled with angst but this process was seamless. Thank you again Mari! Also the pricing was extremely reasonable. Will recommend this spot to all my friends :) ... Read more

    i've had a storage unit at the facility currently DBA Pacific Coast Self Storage since 1983. The experience has been, and still is being quite satisfactory. Just today i upgraded my original unit to a much larger one, with only great things to say about the staff, facility and service. (Shout out especially to the site manager, Fred!) ... Read more

    We rented a storage from Storage Pro and if I could give ZERO stars that would be ideal. Almost the entire contents of our storage were stolen after the unit was burglarized. The thieves cut through the fence, then broke off the handle of our unit. If either the fence OR the handle were actually in good condition this would not have made it so easy for them to break in. After we talked to the onsite "manager" when we were obviously distressed losing all our possessions he was so incompetent he couldn't even help re-secure the unit and instead half fixed it to where it wouldn't lock at all and the roll up door would barely open. This forced us to have to immediately remove everything that was left since you failed to secure the unit for us in a timely manner. Honestly the whole scenario was ridiculous and this manager had no idea how to handle anything. There is someone living in the unit two down from ours. There are obvious stolen goods all around the complex. To think this storage facility is "secure" is woefully inaccurate. They failed to meet literally ALL of their contractual obligations to us. Oh and as a bonus the upper manager never even bothered to call us despite multiple requests to speak to her. I can't say enough bad things about this storage complex and the staff and safety. AVOID at all costs. ... Read more

    I really like this place. I found it about three years ago after having recently purchased a piano and not having a home for it. The management has transitioned a couple of different times but all of the workers that I have had contact with have been very pleasant, very professional, and helpful for the most part. If you end up getting a unit here for your storage purposes, I recommend being on auto pay so that your code will work every time you are trying to get through the gate. It seems to work for me. I must say that my only negative feedback about this location has been the rental fee increases. The unit I am currently in, and have been in the whole time that I have been a customer at this location started at a rate of $89 per month. After 12 months, it increased to a rate of $189 per month. There have been additional increases in the monthly rental rate to date. For the same amount of storage space that I initially entered into the contract agreement for, I now pay $210 per month. That being said, I still give it five stars out of five. ... Read more

    So far my experience has been great! Reserving the unit online was easy and there was a good variety in sizes to choose from. I thought the different discounts were reasonable and the size of the unit is perfect! Angie was in the office when I checked in and she is a delight! Very personable and friendly customer service. Couldn't ask for more from a storage facility really. Good job so far! ... Read more
