The place was clean and has enough room for a family of four. The place is a block from the beach and it was a great place to stay.

We had an amazing stay at Karin’s property. You are close to the beach, bay and Belmont Park. The garage was perfect for parking and had all the amenities for a wonderful few days at the beach. The house was perfect for our family of 4 and had everything we needed.

My daughter and I enjoyed staying at this property. It is the perfect spot close to restaurants, the bay, the ocean and all the attractions. This property had everything we could need for a 4 day stay. The garage and the addition of central air was priceless!
Karin is great to work with and we would love to come back!!

Great Location in Mission Beach
We couldn't have asked for a better location for our family vacation. We were taking our first trip with our six month old and Karin had a pack and play and high chair ready for us upon arrival. The condo is located in a great spot in Mission Beach. The garage parking spot is an added bonus; many people drove by on the busy weekend asking how we had gotten our spot. Would definitely stay again if we're back in Mission Beach!

Hi Creed~ Thanks for the great review! It was my pleasure having you as a guest! Hope to have you and your family back in the future! Take care~
This was the perfect spot for our relaxing vacation. Only steps to the boardwalk on the bay in one direction and a block the other way to the open ocean. Loved walking the beach and boardwalk. Having the bikes available to use was a great bonus too. The boogie boards were so much fun! The unit was well stocked with pots, pans and basics. I would certainly stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Karin Watkins
Hi there! Karin and Mark here! We live in San Diego and have two teenage kids and one Yorkie named Barkley. Mark runs a local business and Karin is busy managing our vacation rentals. Being a property manager/vacation host has been a fun journey, really getting to know some great people along the way. Fortunately our guests have all been wonderful and it's been our pleasure to find new ways to make our rentals even more comfortable and enjoyable.
Why they chose this property
We chose this cottage because we love hanging out in Mission Beach! There seems to be something to do for everyone! We looked at properties for a year and half and knew this would be perfect for us the moment we saw it! We loved the front patio, just being able to relax there with a good book or BBQ with friends. It's a great place to hang out and people-watch as there is a walkway which connects the bay to the ocean right in front. We felt the location was ideal, as it is within walking of everything we like to do ~ biking on the boardwalk, taking the kids to the roller coaster, swimming in the ocean or jogging along the bay... There is a huge park across the street and tons of restaurants and shopping within walking and/or biking distance.
What makes this property unique
We provide everything you need for a day at the beach! Beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, etc. Plus we have beach cruisers, paddle boards and a kayak for rent which will be available at the property when you arrive. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking or grilling on the BBQ and there is a washer/dryer and one car garage for your use. Well behaved pups are welcome! The biggest is the LOCATION, which just can't be beat. Our cottage is in the heart of MB. We like that it is super close to everything, yet just far enough away that you don't have all the noise. Just a minute's walk to everything!
