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!

Nice place next to the beach

Clean and nice 3 bedroom place right on the boardwalk of Mission Beach. The parking is tight so you wouldn’t want to bring anything bigger than a mini van. Great times! Hope to come back again!

Great spot

Property, location weather were all fantastic. Only negative is that they were doing some construction on the property and we were woken up by hammers on the wall and workers staring into our bedroom and bathroom one morning. A little uncomfortable to say the least, but I wouldn't let this stop me from coming back (after the work has been completed).

Fun in South Mission

Our family had a wonderful time at this property over spring break. It was exactly as expected based on the listing. Are a huge differentiator from past VRBO properties I’ve stayed at was the communication with the property manager, Maurice. He was phenomenal. Extremely quick to respond to any questions and always very helpful! Hope to go back again someday.

Spring Break

Overall the property was ideal for our family Spring Break. The location just steps from the beach and Belmont Amusement park was ideal for running back and forth with small kids and a dog. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had the basic necessities. However upon arrival there was a strong chemical smell that lingered throughout our stay from a mop stored in the closet and the living room furniture and chair cushions need to be replaced due to stains wearing. Prior to booking I read that cleanliness was a concern and I would concur. I expect higher quality for the per night price.

Look no further as this place is in the perfect location In Mission Beach ! You can literally walk to everything and the view from the condo is spectacular. Not only do you have an amazing beach right in front right by the volley balls courts so it’s fun to watch but you can walk one block to the bay to a beach that would be excellent if you had small kids because they could safely swim and play . We walked along the bay every morning We enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return to Mission Beach . The condo has everything you need and the master bath has a huge tub perfect for two ! The management was quick to respond if we needed anything. We had a teenager and she loved walking to Belmont park . Excellent restaurants walking distance . Close drive to all the fun spots like the zoo .

We had a great stay, the location was perfect!! I would recommend a deep clean in the kitchen and the sectional in the living room. I would also recommend a new dining table and chairs. The chairs and table were not compatible meaning you were sitting so low that it was very hard to enjoy your meal. The stove/oven definitely needs to be replaced. You couldn’t tell if the temperature of the oven and I wasn’t sure if I turned it off after. The sink and the shower in the master drained very slowly.

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.

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.

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.

The property location was perfect for us but the unit needs some TLC. Many items in the unit were broken including lamps, front windows, oven display, fans and the floor was filthy. Many pots and pans need to be disposed of as they are no longer safe for cooking. We did not receive check-in instructions until 4:45. It would also be very convenient if collapsible luggage stands, like you find in hotels, were in each bedroom.The bedroom with the second balcony has a glass door with no privacy or light shade so we placed a sheet there. Photos below.

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.

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.

Pleasant unit in great location

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this penthouse condo. It’s fun watching people use the sports court on the beach and surfing in the distance, and it’s an easy 10min walk to Belmont, 5min walk to some good coffee and breakfast spots, and 15 to 20min walk to many other restaurants and activities.Note that you should plan to bring or buy your own sand/beach supplies (e.g. chairs, umbrellas, etc). Also note that unit doesn’t have AC, but during our stay we were able to be comfortable with ocean breezes and strategic opening of windows/doors.Remainder of amenities were useful: sugar/salt/pepper, pots and pans, coffee filters, etc. Had what we needed, and getting anything else we wanted was easy. Glad we chose this spot!
