About this property

Incredible location, steps to beach & bay!

Summary:
Situated a few feet from the beach and a block from the bay, this is a prime location! It is a 3 br, 2 ba, with a total of 6 beds (1 king bed, 2 queens, and bunkbed w/ trundle and sofa bed). This beach house has 3 floors, large deck, w/ BBQ, dishwasher, , 2 car garage w/ a space behind garage for a larger vehicle and washer/dryer. We include all the beach toys, bikes, kitchen/bath essentials, WiFi, netflix.
STR-02653L

The Space:
The living room features a large comfortable couch, large enough for your entire group. There is a large fully equipped kitchen, a large patio with ocean views. Compare our location to other homes you are considering -- our address is 714 Whiting Court. We are literally 20 steps from the ocean-side beach.

The large 1,200 sf 3 bedroom/2 bath single-family home, sleeps 10. it is ideal for two families or one large family. Two ocean view decks/patio including a huge bottom floor deck (great for meals and watching the sunset), and all the toys -- 3 beach cruiser bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. Perfectly located just off the boardwalk in north Mission Beach, walk or bike to tons of great restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and full grocery store.

Why rent Mission Beach Paradise?: We think you'll love our home for the same reasons we do. When we decided to buy in Mission Beach, we selected this home because of the size, convenient floor plan, terrific views, and incredible private location—close enough to the ocean to hear the waves crash, but not right on the noisy boardwalk with people staring in your windows. The convenient location is close to everything you need for the perfect vacation: lots of great restaurants nearby, Ralph's grocery store is a 10 min walk (or 2 min drive), SeaWorld is 2 miles away, San Diego Zoo is 10 miles, and La Jolla is just 6 miles up the road. You can even catch a Padres game at Petco Park (10 miles to downtown).

The home also has wireless internet, puzzles, board games, and multiple streaming services and 3 TVs.

The first floor has the deck, living room with a couch that can become a queen sleeper, the second level has the kitchen and a queen bedroom and bathroom and the third level has a master bedroom with a California King Bedroom and a bedroom with a Queen bed and a bunk bed (full on bottom, trundle and twin on top). There is a shared large bathroom on the third level.

We include beach towels, an umbrella, boogie boards, beach toys and an outdoor shower so you have everything you need to enjoy Mission Beach.

Guest Access:
You can't beat the location! The property is steps away from the ocean and boardwalk, across the street from quiet Mission Bay and just a few blocks from the dining and shopping district of Pacific Beach.

NEIGHBORHOOD: Mission Beach is a lively beach town with miles of boardwalk, hip shops, restaurants, bars. The home is 1/4 mile from Belmont Park -- a beach front amusement park with a historic wooden roller coaster, mini golf, bumper cars, rock climbing, escape room, fresh water pool, restaurants, bars and more). We are centrally located to everything in San Diego - the Airport (5 mi /10 min drive), downtown (7 mi/10 min drive), Sea World (2 mi/6 min drive), and the Zoo (10 mi/15 min drive). Bike, surfboard, and scooter rentals are within easy walking distance.

The Neighborhood:
Enjoying the people-watching on the beach, riding bikes along the boardwalk, surfing or swimming in the ocean just steps away.

Getting Around:
After planning several vacations ourselves we loved the location and flexibility of this home. It is perfect for family gatherings or special get togethers. This home provides 3 parking spaces, virtually unheard of! And it's walkable to everything you need.

Other Things to Note:
Please note that we rent the other side of the townhome (a separate 3 bedroom home that is connected on the second level by a hotel style door that will be locked). There is a large front deck that is separated by a small gate, but guests should be aware of this area that may be in close proximity to another set of guests.

ATTENTION: This home is in a high-density neighborhood and is only appropriate for quieter groups. There is a "no tolerance" policy for excessive noise, parties or indoor smoking. Failure to abide by these policies may lead to immediate eviction without refund. Please be sure you are comfortable with these policies before renting this home.
This vacation home offers coffee/tea makers and hair dryers. Kitchens offer refrigerators, stovetops, microwaves, and cookware/dishes/utensils.
Guests can surf the web using the complimentary high speed wireless Internet access. Smart televisions are featured in Living room and a bedroom.

Interaction with Guests:
This is a family run business and my husband and I are actively involved in our vacation rental. We live only 5 minutes away and enjoy checking the guests in and out unless requested otherwise.

Great location just off the beach

The location can’t be beat; far enough from the boardwalk noise but the ocean still visible from the front porch. A RAV4 and a 4-door sedan fit in the garage. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are decent. The living space and kitchen were comfortable for our party of 4 adults and 2 kids (though the later arrival of a 5th adult made things feel a bit cramped). The kitchen has nice appliances, and as we didn't cook, it was well equipped for our needs. The owners were responsive and easy to work with. With that said, the place is worn and in need of a deep clean and fresh coat of paint. The bed pillows need to be replaced. The 3rd bedroom off the kitchen is much smaller than it appears in the photos, with the bed taking up almost all the space and only a tiny alcove to hang a few items. There was barely room to get around one side of the bed, and the other side was taken up by our suitcase that we couldn’t unpack because there was no storage. It was a bummer to be the couple in this bedroom. The bathroom next to this bedroom has ample counter and cabinet space, but the shower is a very small stall, and there was only space to hang one bath towel (a hook or 2 on the back of the door would be good). The price seemed steep given the above, however in the end, we really enjoyed our stay because of the proximity to the beach and parking. We would stay here again if we couldn’t find a nicer place at a similar price point.

Great Family Adventure

This property matched all of our family needs: proximity to the beach, enough space for togetherness and “breathing room”, well-appointed kitchen, on-site parking, laundry and again proximity to the beach! There were seven of us, and the house and area provided a great place to create new memories! Thank you!

Amazing beach stay with kids

The twin townhomes were perfect for our family of 12! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Beds were very comfortable. Laundry machine on site is awesome! Garage, house, etc just as described. Owners responded to inquiries very quickly. House is literally 100 feet from the beach. 10 min to SeaWorld; walking distance to dozens of restaurants, Belmont part and pier. Would definitely stay again!

Great location

Location was perfect, very close to the beach! We were able to walk to shops and restaurants. There was plenty of parking for our rental cars. The house came with plenty of beach toys, chairs and towels. We had 18 people and there was plenty of room. I will definitely consider renting this property again!

Amazing location

The location and price point can’t be beat! The property manager was helpful and quick to respond. I would not recommend the property to families with children under 5 due to the number of stairs and the railings that have large gaps between that my 18m old could easily fit through.

Family beach vacay

Absolutely loved the space this property provided us and the location was wonderful!! We had 3 families of 4 and had plenty of room for the kids and the adults. The upper rooms did get a little warm but the fans did help with that. This is our 2nd year doing a San Diego fall break trip and we all agreed the location and space were a definite plus!! The added beach gear the owners provide was very helpful as well! Would stay again!

We loved the location

This was a family vacation. We have 3 married children and 6 grandkids. It’s a great location for a beach vacation. We would start in the morning at the beach go back to the house for lunch. The young kids would take naps while the others would head back to the beach. Each individual family had their own private space. There is plenty of room for everyone to gather for games etc. We enjoyed meals on the large tables outside on the front deck where we could see an hear the ocean. The house was very clean and easy to access.

Wedding/Vacation

This is a great property if you have a large group. We ended up have 13 adults and 4 kids staying here. It was great having 2 living rooms, kitchens etc. Easy for getting meals done and spots for the kids to hang out. Beach was a few steps away and plenty of chairs and toys for kids and adults. Parking was a breeze with 2 garages and in front of the garages. Boardwalk and street had plenty of dining and drinking options. Having washers and dryers was a bonus. House was a bit dated and could probably use a deep cleaning. The outside deck was great to have breakfast or dinner on. All in all, it is a great place for large families.

Great for family reunion

Ideal property to house three family generations under one roof. Steps from the beach. Although the property had no AC, the constant ocean breeze kept us cool throughout our stay. Issues we encountered were quickly addressed by the owner.

Views of the beach from the Patio!

This was a great property. It has a great layout for groups and families. We had both units, side-by-side and it fit 4 families with all ages of kids very comfortably! Everything worked great. Parking in the garage and on-street was a definite bonus! Great property, and the Owners were great, easy to work with, and checked in on us during our stay. We loved being just 1/2 block from the patio to the beach, made it so convenient to run back and forth with the kids, and beach toys, chairs, etc. Plus they’ve got a ton of chairs, boogie boards, toys, etc. for use. We’d definitely stay here again!

For 11k a week, I was not wowed

Family of 18. Excellent proximity to the beach. The house is old and needs work. Carpeting smells and the wood floors are filthy. Anyone wearing white socks turned brown from the dirt. Small appliances, dishware and utensils looked like they were from Goodwill. Not enough of dishes for 18 people. Not sure everything was washed before we checked in. The owners were as nice as could be, but I have to be honest so people know beforehand what to expect.

Narrow stairs

The stair’s coming up from the living room to the kitchen are very very narrow to put your foot on. Our oldest son and myself slipped on them which he hurt the top of foot pretty seriously. Thank goodness our youngest sons wedding was over. He is still dealing with the pain. It would also be a good idea if you could put some lighting on them. I had to go down them sideways for the fear of falling. The toilet paper roller was broken when we arrived. Thank you for letting us stay at your house. Deb
