The perfect beach-front place! Plenty of space and an amazing sunset view! We will definitely return!

Thanks so much for your review, Emily! We’re so glad you enjoyed the space and those beautiful sunset views. We hope we can host you again in the future!
This is the place- no need to look further. This property is well kept, clean and you can't beat the views. It is literally steps from the ocean with ocean views from the master bedroom and main living area. The decks provide great places for enjoying a meal or watching the people walking by below. The kitchen is fully stocked. We cooked most of our meals and they had every appliance, gadget, serving bowl or pot or pan we needed and more. This is a great location for families. We appreciated the large garage- big enough for our mini van. I could go on and on about the amenities. The only problem I had with this place was saying goodbye!

Heidi, thank you for your incredible review! We were so happy to host you here as a last minute reservation with us. You were so friendly and appreciative— we were happy to accommodate your stay here! We love to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us. Come back again :)
Very nicely constructed and decorated. New windows and sliding doors provided a stunning ocean view. Lots of hooks for hanging items for drying suits and towels. It has the nicest master bath and walk in closet of all VRBOs I have ever had.

Lisa, we’re so glad you appreciated the design details, the ocean views, and the master suite. It’s great to hear those features stood out during your stay! We’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Had a great stay!So many positives to share: beach view/access, modern/clean property, garage parking, extra bathrooms, prompt host communication, etc.Just one suggestion: Consider moving the WiFi router to a more central location, or adding mesh WiFi -- Internet access from the back bedrooms of the property was pretty spotty. No problems from the living room/kitchen though.

Beautiful beach home
We will definitely try to stay here again next year! Beautiful, clean, well-stocked home within walking distance of restaurants, bars, groceries, and the BEACH! Great property!
This property is fantastic. New and up to date. Great views. Love the location where it’s close to restaurants and bars, but far enough away to not be right in the middle of it or noisy. We will rent here again for sure!

Husband's Birthday
We all had such a great time at this Condo. We live in SD so have stayed at many locations throughout Mission Beach and Bayside, but we will be back here. Everything is extremely well taken care of and in excellent condition. One day we didn't even leave the unit we just bbq and watched the beautiful view and enjoyed the beach. We will be back soon.
Great place and great location! The garage was a “must have” in this neighborhood.
