Below you will find details about our NEW 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom beach cottage.
Our charming, historic Jamaica Beach Cottage is truly a San Diego hidden gem! This cozy beach cottage was built in 1901! Located just steps from Mission Beach, this property has the comforts of home with a spacious patio, garage parking space, and old-world charm.
Just south of the parking garage you will find a relaxing beachside outdoor patio with access to Ocean Front Walk that takes you straight to the beach! Upon entering our beach cottage you feel transported to another time with rustic brick fireplace, antique leaf ceiling fan, original wood floors, and sweet old-fashioned details.
Just off from the kitchen is the dining room with a table for 4 guests. Perfectly located to move meals from the outdoor grill into the kitchen and to the table. The kitchen is fully equipped for meals at home. Cookware, bakeware, pots, pans and utensils and flatware are provided. Appliances include an oven, gas stove top, refrigerator and freezer. Please note: there is NO dishwasher.
The living room is perfectly cozy for cooler nights by the brick, decorative (only) fireplace. There are wall heaters as well.
Down the hall are two linen closets for extra linens, bath and beach towels. To the left is the master bedroom. The room has been designed to immediately bring you to a "zen" state. Tranquil colors and decor encourage relaxation is the comfortable queen bed. The closet has ample storage with additional portable fans. Please note: This property DOES NOT have A/C.
Between the bedrooms is the single full bathroom. Complete with small vanity, toilet and walk-in shower.
The guest room is great for kids! With a sweet, Mickey Mouse theme and twin bunk beds. A small closet and turn mirror/storage tower is available as well.
The master bedroom and living room have TVs with Direct TV cable.
Back outside to the patio is a large grill, dining table for 4-6 and lounge chairs. Gather with friends and family for games, meals outside with the sea breeze, or take a post-beach nap in one of the loungers!

Inside the garage you will find more storage with beach accessories including, beach chairs, boogie boards, a beach umbrella and sand toys.

Come enjoy all San Diego has to offer along with the best weather in the nation in our charming, historic hidden gem, Jamaica Beach Cottage!
There is also an upper unit (second floor above the garages) 2bd/1ba behind the cottage - great to reserve both to share with family and friends!
This convenient location is right by Belmont Amusement Park and W Mission Bay Drive that will lead you out of Mission Beach and toward Point Loma, SeaWorld, Old Town, I-8 and I-5 to get to the airport, downtown/Gaslamp District, Little Italy, and Balboa Park with the Zoo!
Vacation rentals in San Diego are for the most part, second homes for the owners and this one is no exception. Therefore, some furniture or decor may differ from what is pictured because the owners needed or wanted to replace something. Professional photos are expensive and we can not re-photograph the rental every time something is changed but we do maintain the listing content with any notable furnishing changes especially related to sleeping arrangements. (*Please note: We do not give refunds because a piece of furniture or artwork has changed and anyway, it's usually an upgrade when something is changed.)
*NOTE: This home is in a residential neighborhood and, as such, is a NOISE SENSITIVE property. Respect must be shown for the property and neighbors at all times. No loud music, parties, and or loud talking outside after 9 pm. Violation of these rules MAY result in immediate eviction from the property per your rental agreement, and/or fines from the San Diego Police. Please review your rental agreement for complete details and rules about your home!
It is important for you to read all the details about your property. We highlight everything you need to know about your vacation rental in our listing, through emails, some home manuals, in-home signage and phone correspondence. We want our guests to feel prepared, informed and at ease while staying with us. We are always available if you have questions!
Upon confirming your booking, we will send you a rental agreement for your upcoming stay which you will need to complete. We will also contact you within 24 hours of the booking to obtain contact information and to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding your upcoming visit along with the House Rules & Rental Agreement. The check-in details will not be shared until the rental agreement has been signed.
Attention Guests: In addition to completing our electronic rental agreement, you will also be required to participate in our identity verification process. The service is offered through Autohost; an intelligent guest screening software that automates ID verifications, background and credit checks, security deposits and more, helping to improve guest experience and safety. Please note: for the credit card verification, a $2 hold will be placed on the card to run the report. This hold will never process and will fall off automatically within 7 days. Please contact us with any questions.

Please note our policies:
Holiday 2024 Policy:
6 night minimum AND Saturday check-in is REQUIRED during our holiday season (December 21-January 4). One reservation CANNOT take both holidays, unless it is a 2-week reservation. There are no arrivals OR departures on Christmas or New Year's Day.
*An arrival on a Friday or Sunday may be possible, please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you!
Summer 2024 Policy:
Beginning Memorial Day to Labor Day, Saturday to Saturday is required with 6-7 night reservations. On July 4th 2024, check-in or check-out is NOT permitted. An arrival on a Friday or Sunday may be possible, please inquire if your group needs accommodations that are different as we may be able to accommodate you.
Last Minute Booking Policy:
If a guest books with us directly or on any OTA such as Airbnb and VRBO, within 72 hours of arrival, verification credentials are required. By making a payment on the reservation, the guest agrees to comply with our last minute booking policy.
To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a “selfie” photo specifically of the booking guest's face and holding either a Driver's License, Passport or State ID photo under their chin. We are just looking for a name to match and the photo on the ID to match that of the person in the selfie. This can be sent by email or text to our company email address. Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as, payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.
This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.
Nightly Minimum Policy:
4 night minimum required in the off season.
6 nights AND a Saturday Check-in is REQUIRED during peak season (June - August). Arrival on Friday or Sunday instead may be an option.
