About this property

Bright Beach Home • 3 Minute Walk to Ocean & Bay • Huge Private Backyard


Welcome to our family's beach house! Built in 1948 and cherished by our family for four generations, this home has been the setting for countless vacations, holidays, birthdays, and unforgettable beach days. We've thoughtfully updated it with modern comforts while preserving the relaxed charm that has made it such a special place for nearly 80 years.

Unlike many Pacific Beach vacation rentals, this is a detached single-family home—not a condo or apartment. You'll enjoy the privacy of your own home along with one of the area's rare oversized private backyards, all while being just a 3-minute walk to both Pacific Beach and Mission Bay.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, traveling with grandparents, or enjoying time with friends, we hope you'll feel right at home.

WHY GUESTS LOVE THIS HOME

• Just a 3-minute walk to both Pacific Beach and Mission Bay
• Detached single-family home with privacy that's hard to find this close to the beach
• Rare oversized private backyard with a furnished patio and grassy lawn
• Quiet residential street that's close to everything without the late-night noise
• Updated kitchen and beautifully remodeled bathrooms
• Comfortable layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms
• Parking for two full-size SUVs in the driveway
• Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, and a folding utility wagon provided
• Hosted by a Premier Host with perfect 10/10 ratings for communication, cleanliness, and check-in

THE HOME

Our bright 1,400-square-foot home combines the character of a classic California beach cottage with the conveniences guests appreciate today. Hardwood floors, comfortable furnishings, an updated kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, and inviting gathering spaces make it easy to settle in and relax.

Because everything is on one level, the home works well for families with young children, grandparents, and anyone who prefers to avoid stairs.

Whether you're cooking dinner together after a day at the beach or relaxing in the living room with family and friends, we hope you'll enjoy the home as much as our family has over the years.

The home comfortably sleeps up to six guests.

Bedroom 1
• Queen bed

Bedroom 2
• Two twin beds

Bedroom 3
• Queen bed

Two Remodeled Bathrooms

• One tub/shower combination

YOUR PRIVATE BACKYARD

One of the features guests mention most is the backyard.

Large private yards are surprisingly uncommon in Pacific Beach, especially this close to the ocean. Whether you're returning from the beach, enjoying dinner outdoors, or simply relaxing with family, this space quickly becomes everyone's favorite gathering place.

Features include:

• 15' × 45' furnished patio
• 25' × 30' grassy lawn
• Gas grill
• Comfortable outdoor dining and shaded seating
• Outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach

Enjoy coffee on the patio in the morning, let the kids play on the lawn during the afternoon, then relax outside after another beautiful San Diego sunset.

BEACH GEAR INCLUDED

We've tried to provide many of the extras that make a beach vacation easier so you can spend less time packing and more time enjoying your stay.

Available for your use:

• Beach chairs
• Beach umbrellas
• Boogie boards
• Sand toys
• Folding utility wagon for carrying beach gear—or making an easy trip to the nearby grocery store

After a day at the beach, simply rinse off in the outdoor shower before heading inside.

LOCATION

One of the best things about staying here is how little you'll need your car.

Most guests park when they arrive and rarely drive again until it's time to leave.

Walk to:

• Pacific Beach (3 minutes)
• Mission Bay (3 minutes)
• Mission Beach Boardwalk (3 minutes)
• Restaurants
• Coffee shops
• Grocery stores
• Shopping
• Bike and water-sport rentals

When you do decide to explore San Diego, you'll appreciate having two dedicated off-street parking spaces waiting when you return.

San Diego International Airport is approximately 17 minutes away.

AMENITIES

• Large washer and dryer
• Roku Smart TV
• Games for all ages
• Free 500 Mbps high-speed Wi-Fi

A HOME WITH HEART

Our family built this home in 1948, and it has remained a special gathering place ever since. Every generation has made memories here—from children learning to swim in Mission Bay to evenings spent together after watching the sunset over the Pacific.

We're grateful to be able to share this special place with our guests and hope your family creates wonderful memories here as well.

GUEST EXPERIENCE

You'll enjoy the privacy of having the entire home to yourselves while knowing our friendly local property managers live next door if you need assistance or recommendations during your stay. They're available when needed but always respectful of your privacy.

As Premier Hosts, we're proud of our perfect 10/10 ratings for communication, cleanliness, and ease of check-in. We look forward to welcoming you to Pacific Beach and helping make your stay relaxing, comfortable, and memorable.
