Great location that’s right on the beach and within a short distance of all the popular places around San Diego. Just one thing to make note of, especially if you’re coming with young kids: the condo/neighbor is directly in the crosshairs of departing airport traffic so hearing rumbling jets every couple of minutes should be expected. The good news is that it typically quiets down at night and you get used to it pretty quickly. Outside of this, I highly recommend this place for anyone interested in visiting San Diego!

We love the views and location of this apartment. It is exactly in front of Pacific Surf School's children's program and we love watching all the volleyball from the high deck. It is less noisy since it is farther from Belmont Park but an easy bike or walk to Belmont as well as our favorite coffee shop, the Blue Palm. We have stayed in this apartment twice.

We enjoyed our week at this property. Some appliances need replacing-the dishwasher does not clean the dishes and the oven temp only show partially, making it a difficult guessing game. Beds are very comfortable. Maurice was very helpful and communication was awesome.

I don’t think there’s a better location on Mission Beach than this house. Watching all the volleyball action right outside the window was incredibly entertaining. We would return.

Location was perfect. Home was spacious and perfect size for 2 couples and a small pet. There is a grassy area at the south end of the beach (a short walk is involved) to take your fur baby to for potty breaks. The home has a 180 degree view of ocean with beautiful sunsets. Located in front of the volleyball courts at the quieter end of South Mission Beach. Parking garage is suitable for small to mid-size cars which would be helpful to have noted in the property description.Home could use a major cleaning with updates to some of the furniture and linens and rug in living room which was badly stained. Mattress in master suite needs to be replaced as it was badly stained which we discovered the day we checked out after removing the bedding. Would happily stay again once items noted above have been addressed.

Fun in the Sun Penthouse

Wonderful location and a very comfortable place. Garage was deep enough for two cars which was nice when we had guests. We didn't cook while we were there, but kitchen was well-appointed (except no chip clips :-) ). Bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. Recommend some maintenance on the windows in the back bedroom (2 queen room), as only one window was able to open.

Graduation weekend

Great location in MB and wonderful space, good communication, comfortable beds, 2 spaces for medium car parking a big plus. .House was surface level clean but I would suggest a good spring cleaning. Kitchen cabinets and drawers, windows, baseboards, etc were dirty, dusty and grimy. Appliances worked but oven was tricky to figure out because display is not functioning. All in all very good stay-thank you.
