Our group loved our stay!! The location is unbeatable, and we enjoyed spending time on the roof. Kitchen and living spaces are perfect for a group! Bunk rooms are on the smaller side but would work great for a family with younger children. Overall, would definitely book again!

Loved our stay. People looking to rent this house should be aware that the 2 non-king bed rooms are very small. Best suited to small children. We brought children but they are over 6ft. Otherwise we truly enjoyed our stay!

My family had a wonderful stay at the beach house! The location is just perfect, close enough to Belmont Park for convenience but far enough away to enjoy quiet nights on the upper deck. Plenty of beds, towels and dishes for our core party of 12. Highly recommend!!

This property is in an ideal location- just steps to the beach! The roof patio is amazing with a great view of the sunset and ocean. The house itself is nice- the kitchen and living room have been updated and are beautiful. The rest of the house is nice- needs a little bit of TLC in a couple of areas and it got a little warm in the bunk rooms at night. However, you just can’t beat the location. We love staying on Mission Beach. There were plenty of chairs, boogie boards, sand toys for the kids!

Thank you for your great input. We added more air circulation on the bunk rooms. We also maintained a few other items that needed TLC. We always strive to do all we can to keep it in top condition. Thank you!

Host is amazing! She bends over back to accommodate all her guests. Seriously best host ever! We met the cleaning crew since Sharon (host) was trying to let us check in early. The crew was SOOOO nice! The place was very clean. Location is perfect. The only negative would be the bathrooms could be a little more updated and maybe some fresh paint. Nothing major the pros are far more than cons. I would absolutely rent here again!

The place was roomy and offered two bunk bed rooms for kids. I love the open living area and windows to see the ocean. I was not aware that there was no AC but the fans and windows open it was cool enough. The garage parking was very skinny but we were able to fit our Chevy Traverse and our friend fit the Honda Odyssey in there as well. We all loved how close it was to the beach. It was also nice that they had washers and dryers available. I was happy they provided beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, mats, and beach toys. Perfect area within 70 steps to get to the beach.

Great experience, house was beautiful and clean and just a few steps away from the beach. It fit every body perfectly. The only thing I would say it would need but is not a big deal is more patio space. It only had a small roof top with a table. The lower front patio(yard)belong to another portion of the house that get rented separately. And since there were other guests down stairs I constantly had to tell the kids not not be running , so we would not bother them. Other then that it was a perfect experience

Family get-away

Booked for a quick getaway for the family. Place was stocked and was pretty much the standard for the area. We've stayed in 10 or so short term rentals along the southern CA coast, we enjoyed this one as much as any of the others.
