Perfect on the beach get away!

This was the perfect place for my family of 4 (2 boys ages 2 and 4). Loved being right on the beach and the house had everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our vacation. Can't wait to stay here again!

Great location to enjoy the beach with ease!

This is such a great little cottage, with a great view and location! The amenities were more than enough for us to enjoy the beach, the place was clean, and the team was responsive whenever we needed anything (especially Laura!). It wasn't swanky, but that wasn't needed. It fit all of the needs for a nice little beachside getaway! We will be back!

We had a great stay!

The property was as advertised and great for our family of four. The parking space, as they mention, is a bit tight, but we kept that in mind when choosing our rental car and had no issue at all. Beautiful location - was wonderful to wake up every morning right next to the ocean. We would not hesitate to stay here again and recommend it to anyone!

Condo on the beach

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The view of the ocean and beach from the living room was incredible. Listening to the sound of the waves each night was calming. Rooftop deck offered a wonderful view as well, great place for a evening cocktail and morning coffee. Location was fantastic...able to walk right out the door and you're on the beach!

Long weekend trip

The location was amazing. The condo was directly across from the beach and a super short walk to Belmont Park and great restaurants. Since there wasn't air conditioning we had to open the windows and the boardwalk was a little loud throughout the night. Other than that it was perfect! We would definitely stay again.

Perfect location, dated property.

A little surprised upon checking in, property so dated; amenities run down. But then the location and proximity to the beach and boardwalk takes over! The ocean,, sounds and people watching were awesome. Rooftop deck truly has the best view in Mission Beach. Overall great trip, would book again.

Awesome property and location!

The property was very clean, had everything we needed, and met all of our expectations. The property manager communicated with us multiple times before and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We had no issues. Such a beautiful place right on the beach! The rooftop deck was a bonus and we spent every evening up there watching the spectacular sunsets. Also enjoyed our morning coffee up there. We would definitely rebook if we ever come back to San Diego, which I hope we will.

A week on Mission Beach, San Diego

This is a great spot on Mission Beach- nice condo friendly neighbors. Rooftop view is lovely. The owners do let you know about the small garage, but side parking is available and everyone staying in the building cooperated with leaving phone numbers on the dash so we could get out when we needed to. Furnace is a bit loud, but it was February. could definitely use a lounge size chair on the rooftop. no laundry soap was available. Rental was very easy and friendly communication with rental managers.

Mission Beach at your doorstep

Excellent location! Fantastic amenities, well-kept and clean unit was just the right size for our family of four. Coming from out of state, we especially appreciated the beach gear (sand toys, boogie boards, etc.) and bikes provided. It made our experience even better! If you have a vehicle, make note of the small garage size, as fully disclosed in the description. Considering the location, it is still a perk. Unless you have a tiny car and/or you are a master at fitting your vehicle into small spaces, plan on parking in one of a few spots on the south side of the building or elsewhere.

Great Location

The property is in a great location. Close to Belmont Park but far enough that it's not too loud at night. We traveled with our 16 mo old. The 2nd room was perfect to allow him to go to bed early and we could still enjoy the roof. Having beach access right out your front door is the only way to go in San Diego. The garage is challenging. We had a Honda CR-V as a rental and it wouldn't fit. Street parking can be a challenge but we made it work. My only suggestion to the owner would be to replace the master mattress. My wife and I both left with sore backs. All in all I would still recommend this place. Thanks for having us!

Absolutely Perfect!!!

I was a bit skeptical in writing a review. Not because the place does not deserve one. Simply for selfish reason. I didn't want this place to be overbooked in the future, so I won't be able to rented it again :)) On the serious note, this place is just perfect. Nice, clean, with everything you might need. The best future for me personally was the rooftop balcony. Our kids (8 and 11 year old) spend almost all day on the beach while we watched them from the balcony or from inside thru a big window. Check-in and check-out were very simple. Everything was handle very professionally. We are definitely coming back again.
