Family Vacation

Bayfront Dreams was a perfect place for our family vacation. A highlight for us was sitting on the back porch and enjoying the view of the water and all of the activity. There were multiple restaurants and coffee shops that were walkable from this location as well, which was a big plus.

This our 5th year in a row staying in this condo and is a good indicator that we like it. The on demand hot water system would be better. A gas water heater with a recirculation system. Also, the mirror in the master bathroom has been cracked for the past 3 years and the lighting could be better for applying makeup.

Beach House

We all loved your house. The description was accurate. The home provided beach chairs, towels and some beach toys. The patio was spacious and was great for watching the sunrise and the SeaWorld fireworks. The location was perfect, we walked to Pacific Beach restaurants for dinner and Belmont Park during the day

Great location!

I bring my family down to Mission/PB at least a couple times each year, this visit was fantastic. Bay front is my first choice, and the Santa Clara Pt area is great because the restaurants are so close. I always look for places with a garage, this had a tandem garage for both units. I was able to back my F-150 in (mirrors folded in) and my SDSU student daughter was also able to back her Chevy Volt in. Plenty of space for my bikes, golf clubs, etc. The space was clean, it had everything we needed. I would absolutely stay here again.

Bay front condo

Really nice place with some of the usual home rental issues which were shared with the company already. Great view of the bay and easy access to everything. We were on the bottom floor so we could hear the upstairs neighbors when they were walking around and talking but we’ve been going to Mission Bay for years and are used to noise from the alley way and along the bay front walk. Lots of activity going on all the time. 4 pm check-in and 10 am check-out is a bit extreme.

Nice, but…

The location is excellent, just two blocks from a variety of eateries and grocery/liquor store. The unit is charming inside and out, and bountifully stocked. But Vacasa’s “24/7 support” is just a call center in Belize, a country in Central America, which was slow to respond to lack of heat, and later a leaking roof. A reply to our inquiry into extending our stay took 5 days.

Third year in a row

The property is well maintained and the few issues with burnt out lights was handled very fast. Thanks Austin. The carpet was replaced in the bedrooms and the facets in the master suite were replaced from last year. Only suggestion from our stay is to replace the facets in the first-floor restroom. Post signage in the upstairs Unit "B" to remind them that there are people in the bottom unit and not to stomp around like elephants. Overall wonder 10 days and will be back next year.

Great location, nice house

Location can't be beat! Also it's nice that all the kitchenware and appliances are in good condition, great place to stay. Some idiosyncracies (hot water is consistently inconsistent) but no deal-breakers. The only thing to be aware of is if there are people staying above you will hear them whenever they walk around, open the door, etc.

our favorite place so far. would rent again!

Pros: good placement on the block. Nicely stocked with paper goods, trash bags, dish washer tabs, clothes det, body soap, shampoo, & conditioner. Good amount of utensils. clean oven and frig with working ice maker and a fresh bag of ice. NICE TOUCH. Property manager was easy to work with. We called to have a few things looked at (dryer blocked with lint, bulbs out dishwasher needing some attention, stopped sink in master, stair lights not working) all were taken care of, and more in quick order. Cons: The hot water does not stay hot for more then 5 min in master shower, then 5 min later gets hot again. carpet looks tired. Over all we will rent this place again. The outside draws a lot of attention, its very cute. love the picket fence on the patio, lets more air through. The placement of this house is the best on the block. We have rented others for years, this one is the best. there was only 3 of us, but for sure this place would hold more very comfortably. we were there to celebrate our Mother's 93 birthday Sept 23, 2022. She too said this place has been her fav so far.

Great property for a family trip

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable.

Great location in Mission Beach

My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The condo is bayside and you can see the sunrise every morning. There is a nice walking path right outside of the condo and a grassy area/beach on the other side of the path. This beach area was perfect for my young children to play. The condo had everything that we needed, including linens, towels, beach towels and kitchen items. If we are in San Diego again, we will definitely stay here again!

Very nice house in great location on the bay

The house was very well maintained and cleaned. Very cute inside and fairly spacious. It's on the bay side so it's quieter than the ocean side and very calm water. There's nice sandy area right outside the house with chairs and some toys provided. Our only complaint is that there's another rental up on the 3rd floor and you can hear everything (footsteps and slider door being opened). It wasn't a big deal in the day but woke us up in the morning.

Beautiful Home & Location!

This place was absolutely perfect for our long weekend vacation. The view is AMAZING and the house was a great size for 6 of us (my parents, husband, 4 year old, and 1 year old son). My 4 year old absolutely LOVED running out to play in the sand every morning! And my husband, parents, and I loved sitting on the patio and people watching :). The kitchen is very well stocked with plates, cups, utensils, cutting boards, etc. And it was great that beach chairs were included! Only warning to future families renting is it is VERY loud when people are in the upstairs unit. We had noise machines for our kids as a bit of a blocker but it was still loud.
