The place was easy to find and when I first got set up it was in excellent condition with more than enough amenities. Beautiful location that wasn’t super loud but walking distance to so many great places. A 1 minute walk to the beach was amazing. The host was very responsive. I will 100% look to see if this place is available the next time I head out. Thank you for a great stay!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My wife and I were in town for a couple of days. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach and to different shops. It was nice that the rental property had a deal with a local bike vendor so we could rent some bikes and ride around. If we come back to Mission Beach, I would strongly consider coming back to this same property again.

The property was well maintained, it was clean and exactly like the photos. It was centrally located and close to restaurants and stores. We found public parking on the Mission beach side very close to the unit. We were disappointed that there were several loud parties that went on all night, we were unable to sleep for three consecutive nights, the host asked us to be respectful and responsible to the neighborhood by ensuring we honored the quiet times after 10:00 pm we were hopeful others would do the same. We had to call the non-emergency police line twice to notify the police of the parties which were quite outrageous. This made it difficult to enjoy our vacation, the host cannot control this situation.

Thank you for the review, and for your patience during a tough stay. We're glad the home was clean, well maintained, and just like the photos, and that the location and nearby parking worked for you. We're very sorry the late-night parties kept you from sleeping. That's not the experience we want for our guests, and we appreciate you handling it respectfully and calling the non-emergency line. While we can't control the neighbors, we'll look into ways to help guests in future, like better noise guidance. Thank you for understanding, and we hope to host you again.- Extraordinary Stays.

The host was very responsive and helpful. The place was clean, aesthetic, and very relaxing. Our host had a fully stocked kitchen which allowed us to cook a full breakfast and even had board games and beach gear. Our destination was Sea World which was only a short 10 minute drive away.

Love this place, it's my go-to place when visiting my son. So comfortable inside, decor is light & airy and of course when you step outside you can see the beautiful bay. The patio outside is a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee. Staying in Mission Beach is the best if you want easy access to the beach. Location, location, location...this place has it!
