Wonderful beach home rental in Mission Bay

We had an amazing time spending our Christmas holidays at this wonderful beach home in Mission Bay in San Diego. The home is located at a very convenient location close by to the pacific ocean, stores, restaurants, etc. We enjoyed the mission bay views from the beach home and loved getting cozy at nights in front of the fireplace. The beach house provided good amenities and was very comfortable. We highly recommend this rental. We will definitely come back again soon. We enjoyed the mission bay views from the

Great Location, Clean, Well Stocked

We loved our stay at this location. It is so close to so many things - restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, etc. but also just enough off the busy sections to be relaxing and quiet. The bay side is really nice is if you like things to be a little quieter. The place had everything we needed and the property manangement team was very repsonsive when we communicated with them. Some reviews talk about the noise from above and we did notice that but it would not stop us from staying there again. Just something to be aware of.

Short Getaway

Family wasn’t able to take a vacation this year so we decided a short trip closer to home would be great. My kids love the beach and this was a great location. Lots of activities, food, and shops nearby. We rented a car but didn’t really need it. Cute place. Well decorated.

Outstanding in every way!

Perfect property - it has everything we needed for our family. We really enjoyed the activities available on the bay for our boys, while having the ocean across the street. Easy walk to several great restaurants. Kimberly and Michael are also incredible hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay in this home and at a properly managed by Kimberly and Michael

Noise from upstairs

The location is good, the inside is nice, but the design between the upstairs unit and downstairs unit is terrible. Do not count on sleeping unless the upstairs has the same sleeping patterns as you. You can hear them talk, walk, any stool or chair movement sounds like it is coming through the ceiling. I had read this issue in previous reviews, but never would have booked if I had known the extent of the problem.

Sand Castle ❤️

My family of four had the best time in this bay front property! The perfect size for us. We loved being able to sit on the patio and watch the kids play on the beach, the included paddle boards and toys, the fully stocked kitchen! 5 stars and we will definitely be back. Please keep in mind you can hear upstairs unit when they are walking/ moving things around but since our kids are a bit bigger it didn’t bother us… probably would’ve been hard with a baby/ toddler as it would interrupt naps/ earlier bed times.

Beautiful property

The property is beautiful in a great location to the bay and restaurants. I had read previous reviews about how noisy the upstairs tenants can be and they weren’t wrong. There was a small family above us during our stay and we heard every single movement from chairs at the dining table to children bouncing balls on the floor to what I assume were bathroom visits in the middle of the night. If you are a light sleeper you may want to stay somewhere else. With all of that being said, we had a great stay. There were bikes, SUPs and kayaks for our use and the location can’t be beat!
