Amazing family stay. Beautiful nautical theme and great location right on the beach. My favorite place I’ve ever stayed at in San Diego. The owner was super helpful with our stay and getting baby equipment delivered. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Location is great in mission beach. Owner was quick to respond when we didn’t have access to the check in information, as well as a question from usThe property is dated a bit, but overall the only real “concern” was the cleanliness. We ended up having to vacuum a good bit when we got there (giant rug in living room had some leftover snacks under it), and clean up some surfaces like the secondary bath. Overall I think the property was a great location and worked well for us.

The location was fantastic on Mission Bay. Wake up, set up chairs and umbrellas. Paddleboard, kayak, bike, or go surfing at Mission Beach. Didn't move the cars the whole time. Met the owner very nice a gracious host. We had a great time will do it again.

We had an amazing time. The condo was perfect for what we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. Location was perfect because it was nice and quiet on the bay side, but a quick walk to the ocean side, we saw the Sea World summer fireworks every night. Cannot say enough good things. We would definitely book here again.

Another 5 star stay! We loved our 8-day stay. After using the property last year, we knew there would not be another place for us when we visit the Bay. See my review from June 2024.

We had a wonderful time stating at Carolyn’sProperty. The location between the beach and the bay was fantastic. Our family of 5 had plenty of room and the air conditioning and water and dryer could not be beat. The kitchen had all of the supplies you could imagine and what a pleasant surprise to sit outside and view fireworks every evening. It was a pleasure to stay here and if we come back to mission beach we would definitely stay again. Thanks Carolyn!!!

Great location, loved the tandem parking and the garage to store our paddleboards and bikes. However the upstairs renters decided to use our paddleboards as they didn’t understand the shared garage. He thought all the equipment was good to use, so perhaps better instructions on the shared garage! Also my rating as good was because the master bedroom bed specifically needs to be upgraded, the bedding was old and run down! Loved working with Carolyn she was a great host!

Amazing property

Everything about this property was exactly as advertised and excellent. The location is PERFECT. It is on the bay side, and more relaxing and quiet than Mission Beach, yet you are steps away from the Mission Beach boardwalk, restaurants, and shops. The owner was very kind and helpful. We loved our stay!

Mission Bay Gem: Highly Recommend!

This rental was beautiful inside and out and impressively clean. It was also very thoughtfully stocked with extra conveniences and comforts. It felt more like we were staying at a relative’s beach house, rather than a rental, because of how much care the owner puts into maintaining the property and ensuring guests have an enjoyable stay.

Great location!

I can’t say more about the great location of this condo. Being on the bay side was perfect, as it had immediate access to sand/water as well as grass, but was within a short walking distance to the beach when we opted for beach time. Was also just a short walk to some great restaurants, coffee shops, and Belmont Park. The condo itself is definitely older, but had everything we needed for our family of six!

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Benson

Host profile image
Born in San Diego, married a farmer from Imperial Valley and quickly learned where to spend our family summers!
This Bayfront property was purchased in 2000, demolished with completion of 3 wonderful condos in 2005. (The 3rd level condo is not available for rent.)

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! I love the day time action - watching sport, dog walkers on the grass & sand; and in the water the paddle boarders, sailboats, jet skis, seems something new is added each year. Just steps away on Santa Clara Point you can rent water "toys" for all ages...from boogie boards to party boats with hot tub! Evenings & nights are magical from sunset to sunrise - from cloud watching with changing colors to moon rise & reflecting lights across the bay. The view will be a lasting memory whether with family or friend!
