About this property

Perfection! Beautiful fully remodeled cottage w/AC, view, and steps to the sand!

* Note - If this property is booked, or does not suite your needs, please see my other Mission Bay Luxury Rentals - VRBO #497367 and #379170

This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, bright and breezy cottage embodies all the best of being at the beach wrapped up in an elegant shabby-chic design.

Every detail has been addressed to ensure a delightful stay.

Open plan gourmet kitchen, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances.

Two queen size bedrooms. The bunk room is custom built in cedar and has its own 40' TV for the kids. The beds are a particular treat with 600 thread count white linens, exquisite mattresses and down and feather duvets and pillows.

The living/dinig area features a stone fireplace over which is a 50' flat screen TV with cable and complimentary YouTubeTV.

There are ceiling fans in every room.

The subway tiled bath room has the original refinished cast iron claw foot tub and custom antique vanity.

Separate laundry room with full size washer / dryer and second restroom.

Single garage (186 inches x 106 inches)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST…….The front porch is the perfect place for morning coffees and afternoon cocktails :) ….. is decked and beautifully fenced with custom dimmer controlled lanterns.
The cottage is located on the sunny side of the court (south facing) so the porch will always be sunny.

Propane bbq and patio furniture.

Within a stones throw there are the coolest cafes, coffee shops breakfast spots and restaurants. Olive Cafe, Better Buzz Coffee, And The Mission to name but a few within a hundred yards.

Quaint and cozy

We had the best experience! So easy to communicate with Molly. The beds/pillows were amazing…best sleep…I keep thinking about it. Haha. It was the best place for us to relax and rejuvenate! Close to the airport, beach and sea world! Thank you for the recommendations on the best coffee @Saltwatercultureco !

Perfectly acceptable

Molly's place is located in a incredible spot. Excellent owner communication, and a lovely place. The half bath requires you go outside - and is missing sink. This wouldn't have stopped us from booking but I think listing probably should just say one bath!

From check in to check out we had the best stay for our little weekend girls trip getaway..! Communication was on point with Molly the whole time we stayed! The place is decorated so beautifully and has everything you need for the best stay! Perfect location to enjoy the beach or the bay. We were able to walk to some amazing restaurants and shops! Everyone is so kind and neighborly! Just a great place and well worth staying at this VRBO you won't be disappointed! :)

Fabulous Family Vacation

We had the best time at this rental. We loved being steps away from the beach. Some highlights included- using all of the beach things the host provided ( it was one less thing I had to think to pack so thank you ), having a playground and sports facilities nearby, walking distance to Belmont Park, the ocean, and yummy food, we loved having a designated parking space, the front porch was delightful, and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The size of property was perfect for our family of 5. San Diego is one of our favorite places, and we will be booking again if we come back.

Nice beach house right off the bay and blocks from the ocean

We enjoyed the kitchen and living space the house offered. The location offered good access to the active beach scen, but was also quiet enough for just the two of us to enjoy and relax. And, the host was available for questions, and made our stay a positive one. Thank you.Marc and Amy

Great Property

This property is well located, clean and excellent communication with owner. I would absolutely book this location again. We had 4 adults and two kids and the space worked very well. Proximity to beach is excellent. It was very quiet in the evening and the airflow was great with the windows cracked.

Cute spot

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 year old and had a great time. We were steps from the bay and a short walk to the beach. The location couldn’t be any better. Molly was a great host. The dryer had some issues during our stay and she offered a temporary solution and had it serviced ASAP. We did find quickly that there were pesky ants. We were diligent on not keeping food out and cleaning up right away. It is known issue and addressed in the book provided by the host.

Location was great! But…

Location was perfect & is where we are use to staying. It’s walkable to so many great places to eat & the beach is about 2 min walk & the bay 20 secs away. The house was so charming & lovely given its tiny size. We loved the little touches of a welcome basket! so thoughtful & appreciated. But we wouldn’t stay again due to the beds being so small. We couldn't sleep comfortably, it’s just too small of a space for my husband & our two kids. This would be the perfect place for a couple to have a romantic getaway. But we enjoyed our trip & had a great time. Communication with Molly was great very responsive & friendly.

Host profile image
I was born in England and Ivey, my husband in South Africa. We moved to The States 25 years ago and have called it home ever since,. We live in Solana Beach, have two children of 23 and 19 and an oldJack Russell Terrier.
We love outdoor sports/activities adventure and travel and combine all on trips as often as possible.
We have two other vacation rental 379170 and 497367 which we also completely remodeled. I love the whole process from demo through to interior decor and am hands on at every stage. I hope it shows how much thought I put into you having the perfect place to stay while visiting Mission Beach.
I hope my mission will be accomplished.
Have a wonderful stay.
