Older Furnishings Throughout - Excellent Oceanside Location
Easy walking distance to a wide variety of food establishments, local attractions & grocery stores. “Yes” the beach is outside the front door. There is a 3rd floor roof-top hot tub with old loungers on a large painted patio. Attached 2 car garage. Clothes washer / dryer included but No laundry detergent. The kitchen is in dire need of a complete update. The old living room repurposed movie sofas felt sticky but the large tv screen was a plus. There is a large old dining table with uncomfortable sunken leather web strap seats. There are No bath toiletries (soap, shampoo) in the house. Lots of stairs going everywhere. The portable second floor barbecue is new however the second floor patio table is very wobbly and old. I highly recommend this beach house as your rental if you are looking for the Best “Mission Beach” location and staying in an older worn interior with stairs and limited amenities!!

Wonderful Home!
We rented this spacious wonderful home to attend my son's wedding in November. It has a stellar location on the beach, and its spacious decks are great for sunsets and hot tubing. Curtis was easy to work with, accomodated dropping one day, and explained all the house systems. Everyone loved staying here. The living area was large enough to have a comfortable 2-family get together (16 for dinner). One note: the Fifth queen bed is in a library like space that doesn't have a door and that another bedroom is accessed through; it might be awkward for a couple. We didn't need it. The groomsmen enjoyed the hot tub! and there was even an ironing board and iron for touch-ups. It's a very spacious, comfortable home and perfect for our needs.

50th Birthday Getaway
Beautiful house right on the beach. Everything you need in a house plus a hot tub on the roof. Great outdoor furniture on the decks for morning coffee or sunset watching from the roof. There is plenty to do nearby and it's a short walk for stores and great food. I would book this place again for sure. We had a blast.

Christmas Week 2024
Pros: Perfect location in Mission Beach. Home sits right on the boardwalk (paved path for walking, biking, running). 2 bars and a bakery essentially at the end of the driveway! Teens walked to Belmont Park (day pass is 54 online). We utilized roof top deck for hot tub and sunsets. We enjoyed watching dolphins every day right in front of the house. Know Before You Go: If you have 2 rental cars, they will not fit in the garage. We had 2 compact SUVs (typical rentals) and could not park them (perhaps if we crawled through the trunk to get out. I parked my car on the street each night which was inconvenient. The home sleeps 10, but the queen is a Murphy’s bed with no door on the room, so not much privacy. Also, the couch accommodates 5, so not terribly comfortable for 8 of us to gather and open presents or hang when it was cold outside. The fireplace is also not functioning. All good things to be aware of before you book. I highly suggest you bring your own toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion etc). I confirmed amenities prior to arrival and then found Mens Dial 3in1 in the shower. All of the ladies did not want to use that, so I went to the store to buy everything. They also don’t have hair dryers (this home is not stocked like all other VRBO homes I have stayed in). They also don’t stock other basics like tissues or things for the kitchen like ziplocks, tin foil etc, so plan to purchase or bring your own. Many of the outlets in this home do not work and som

best house on the beachfront
I scanned through every Vrbo on the beachfront and ended up splurging on this one because aside from being one of the few that had everything I was looking for, something about it told me we just HAD to stay here. Was WELL worth the choice. Think of the nightly rate as being the cost of staying in the nicest house you’ll ever set foot in your life. Curtis is a chill dude as well and knows a lot about San Diego

The Perfect San Diego Vacation!
We adored everything about our stay at the Tuscan Villa Mansion! The owner was absolutely delightful and so helpful accommodating our every need - and offered tons of helpful tips and recommendations about the area. The location is PHENOMENAL!! Literally there is just a walkway between the home and the magnificent Mission Beach. Throughout the day, we watched pods of dolphins play in the surf right in front of our home. It was magical! At high tide the beach is huge - and at low tide it's even more incredible - with shallow tide pools - and pretty shells and tiny sand dollars to collect. The home is loaded with towels and blankets, beach chairs, beach toys and boogie boards! The washer and dryer were new and huge - and easily handled our needs. The roof deck jacuzzi is one of the best features. It was pristinely clean and warmed to just the right temperature for us upon our arrival. We so enjoyed relaxing in it after visits to Sea World and the Zoo - and so did the grandkids. Especially loved watching the dolphins and sipping on a cocktail! The house was very clean and the sheets and towels smelled freshly washed. There is fabulous breakfast food right around the corner and wonderful restaurants in walking distance. We can't wait to return to this heavenly spot! I would recommend for any and all families - or a group of friends. And be in touch with Curtis - the owner - he's fabulous!

Perfect Spot On The Beach
Great location! While it was just a friend and I along with some of our colleagues during the day - it’d be perfectly suited for groups up to 10 comfortably. If someone doesn’t mind sleeping on a couch or two - bump that up to 12-14. Great vibes all around. Within a 20min at most of anything you’d need and within minutes of great food spots and rentals for bikes, boards, wetsuits. Property owner is great to work with. Informative. Gives a good layout of his place. Chill and easy. Will be coming back next time I’m in San Diego.

Family getaway
The views were spectacular and sunsets amazing! We loved walking to restaurants and bars close to the house. The hot tub on top floor - fabulous to soak as we watched the sun go down. Very comfortable lounge chairs, couches and beds. If you rent this home, don’t forget soap, shampoo & conditioner - as they are not included. We barbecued each night and enjoyed the beach by day. The parking is a challenge in the Pacific Beach area. The garage fits one car and a motorcycle. Parking on the street is difficult to come by. Carpooling to this house is best.

BEST RENTAL EVER!!
We easily give 5 STARS to the Tuscan Villa Mansion ocean front rental!  The property was vacation ready with nothing for us to do. From the constantly heated hot tub on the 3rd floor deck, to the BBQ on the 2nd floor deck, we truly felt “vacation ready.” Our large family who rented nearby (22 total) were all able to enjoy several BBQ meals together at sunset on the 2nd floor deck trying to spy the illusive “green flash” at the ocean/horizon. The outdoor deck amenities at this property are so amazing, we had to keep reminding ourselves to leave the house and enjoy the beach which was literally steps away! The inside of the house gives the true feeling of living in a mansion, with all the magnificent luxurious antique furniture. The master bedroom is unbelievable with its size, the royalty like four post bed, fireplace, and the two french doors which open out to the 2nd floor patio with ocean views (and sounds if you sleep with them slightly open). Finally, the house is located at a perfect spot near Santa Clara Pl./Lifeguard Tower 19, all within a very short walking distance to a bakery/coffee shop, a breakfast restaurant, two restaurant/bars, and a bike/beach rental shop. Also, it’s equidistant between Crystal Pier & Belmont Park. Our family, which is comprised of adults, young adults and their young children have been vacationing at Mission Beach every year since 1995. The Tuscan Villa Mansion is part of our tradition because after staying there, nothing else compares!

On the Beach Villa
I loved the place when I saw it in January as I planned a June family vacation for 9 of us. It was absolutely perfect for us; bedrooms worked, kitchen great, decks roomy, hot tub a huge hit. Location was a major plus: lots of fun walking the walk, talking to people, favorite restaurants, Sam's Little Market close by and the sandy beach steps away. We had chairs, toy buckets, boogie boards, towels provided. The villa got even more use because the weather wasn't as warm as we had hoped. It is a very special house and we loved our stay.

Mission Beach will never be the same
This house is the definition of Mission Beach. Having stayed here several times for over 30 years, I’m glad we didn’t discover this house until now. To put it simply, we won’t be going to Mission Beach unless this house is available. The house is exactly as pictured. It is designed with the beach in mind using flooring that makes sand clean up a breeze. The two decks offer an unbeatable view of the ocean. We spent days just watching the dolphins, seals, whales and pelicans do their thing. When it was time to hit the beach, it was literal steps away from the door. At night, the jacuzzi was perfect to relax and still keep an eye and ear on the ocean. Sleeping with the door cracked open made all sound machines obsolete. Curtis was friendly, helpful when needed, responsive, but also hands off. It was perfect for us. If you have multiple groups at multiple times, I’m not sure how you could do better than this house. My wife and I were the only ones who stayed for the duration but friends and family came throughout. It was awesome knowing we had room for everyone with minimal planning. As long as Curtis will have us, we will be back!

Why they chose this property

I asked 6 different rental agencies :
What is most beautiful ocean front property in Mission Beach ? & 3715 Ocean Front Walk was the property
that was at the top of each list.

What makes this property unique

The ocean front , 66 feet of ocean front ,the detail of the house with it's style , each room is a different vibe the size of the house plenty of room,
the palm trees surrounding it's foundation ,the boardwalk use of the area for biking , basketball , surfing, swimming ,tennis +the convienence of restaurants , pubs , markets. are walking distance (not driving distance ) this particular area of mission beach is quiet , unlike the rest of mission beach . it is a prime location of this 5 mile strip & also close to the bay & marina for Boating.
