Mission Beach Cottage

This cottage is perfect, complete with modern furnishings, appliances, and a fully stocked kitchen. The outdoor patio is a great space to relax after a long day. The beds are the most comfortable we've ever slept on. The location is close to everything you could want; park the car and walk to the bay, the beach, and all the restaurants. The host is very responsive and knows all the local hotspots. Will definitely return to this one!

Second Stay

This was our family’s second stay at this wonderful beach home & it was just as amazing as our last. The home is comfy, cozy & clean. Great location with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. It’s a short walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to the bay! Another incredible stay—thank you, Robin!

Love this Mission Beach cottage!

We are a family of 4 who visited San Diego and decided to spend a few days in Mission Beach. We loved our stay in Robin’s cottage!Communication with the host was super easy. Her directions are helpful and clear. Easy access to enter with a door code. 2 bedrooms with queen beds plus a comfy couch and extra bedding. Lovely smart TVS in each bedroom plus the living room. Each bedroom has a portable AC unit plus the cross breeze through the unit made it quite comfortable. The upstairs deck was fantastic! Loved the beach chairs, towels. The kitchen is well equipped. Parking is tight- we had a Mitsubishi Outlander for a rental and did fine but a larger SUV or truck may not fit. The walk to the beach or bay is short. The laundromat is 3 houses away. The neighborhood felt safe. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you

Beautiful home

We were very excited to find the rental exactly as described. Communication with the owner was great and we appreciated the 'extras'...history of the home and area, and the suggestions for places to go and where to eat. We will definitely stay here again.

Very Cute place in great location!

We enjoyed our stay and Robin was very friendly and gave clear directions, information about the area and responded promptly to any questions. We loved being so close to the beach and the bay side. We walked for coffee and restaurants so did not use the kitchen much but it had lots of pans and was well laid out. The place is decorated nicely and the beds were comfy. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

North Mission cute cottage

Excellent and accommodating host, clean and cute cottage in a great location. We loved our bay side walks, as well as close proximity to great restaurants (Moe's, e.g.) and bars. (Miss B's, e.g.) Way too many to list. We loved our stay here! We utilized the upstairs patio and firepit every day - its a great place to have a snack or cocktails! We would definitely recommend this place!

Cutest gem for our San Diego short stay!

In celebration of my daughter’s college graduation - her best friend joined us on a short celebratory trip on Mission Beach. This house is so precious- cozy & Extremely comfortable.Robin the owner, was impressively helpful and responded immediately with communication and answers to questions.It is one of the only original houses where the rest of the neighborhood has mostly been torn down and built with more modern homes. Robin has done a wonderful job of updating and the decoration/vibe was so appealing. It looks like the main space that has not had a major renovation is the bathroom. It’s small & simple but clean and worked fine.

Excellent Stay and Amazing Location!!!

Wonderful property and excellent location! My wife and 2-year old daughter rented this place and had an amazing time! Nice, clean property with plenty of room for our small family. The host was excellent and clearly put some love and attention into the cottage. Maybe most importantly--the location was perfect! The bay is essentially in your back yard. The main beach is just across the street. Walking distance to multiple coffee shops, nice bars, restaurants, etc. and less than a mile from a full-service grocery store. No car needed to have a wonderful vacation! But if you do want to drive to check out other sites, we found it a reasonably short/easy drive to the SD Zoo (15-20 minutes), La Jolla (10 minutes), and other touristy places we checked out in SD. Five stars!

True Mission Beach cottage - Cute!!

We're local to San Diego, have 2 kids 9 and 6, and just wanted a break and change from the winter break routine. The kids got new bikes and roller-blades for x-mas so we though, Mission beach would be awesome. We could just head out the door and go up and down the boardwalk!Found this gem of a place on VRBO. The pictures and description are spot on and it won't disappoint. It's an old house but very much updated. For our family of 4, it was prefect. We stayed in the winter so our concern was around having heat at night. There were space heaters that quickly warmed up the place. The owner was SUPER responsive and easy to work with. Only downside was parking (parking stinks in mission beach and the fact you have 2 spaces is amazing!!). Just keep in mind you need 2 pretty small cars to fit 2. 1 - no problem. Not a deal breaker by any means. Just park the car you don't need to go in and out of on the street and the other at the property. We'll be back and highly recommend this property. We had a blast!

The communication from the host was top notch. The accommodations suited us perfectly and the proximity to the beach was perfect. The well equipment and updated kitchen made cooking a pleasure and the outdoors space was also a great feature. The onsite free parking was a huge plus and so convenient. Would definitely stay again.

A much needed mini vacation

Property fit the bill for our group. Manager the parking even with the rental car company giving me a ram 2500. The home owners were responsive, easy to deal with and generally cared about our stay. The location is great if you want to just stay at mission beach or want to go explore greater San Diego. Grocery is .7 miles away and plenty of other establishments for eating and shopping. I highly recommend this cozy cottage!

This was our 3rd stay at this wonderful beach cottage & it was just as incredible as all of our previous stays. Great location, cozy, comfortable, clean. It is the perfect place for our small family.

Fantastic Stay

We loved our stay at this quaint beach home! It is located in a great location and the host was so easy to contact from start to finish! She was so accommodating and really was the cherry on top to such a great home. The home offered everything we would needed to make our stay even better! Spices, coffee, utensils, toiletries, comfortable living spaces, great bedding, plenty of extra linens- even beach towels and equipment! We loved the addition of the beach cruisers and all the vintage details within the home! It is safe to say we will be back! Thank you for making our family vacation so comfortable and memorable!

Lovely cottage in Mission Bay

We had an excellent stay at this cottage! The property was clean and comfortable, appearing exactly as shown in the photographs. The location was excellent; just steps in either direction from the bay or the ocean. I wish we could have stayed longer, and definitely hope to stay again in the future. Even though we didn't need to reach out to Robin for anything (she provided so much helpful information ahead of our stay), I felt confident that we could touch base with any questions or concerns, if we had any (we had none)!
