About this property

Ocean or Bay steps away- Beach House with charm and comfort

Delightful 3-story, 3-bedroom, 2 ½- bath, vacation home in Mission Beach. 1 vehicle garage, single window AC unit for living room only.

Nestled between the dynamic energy of the Pacific Ocean and the calm of Mission Bay, it’s the juxtaposition of two amazing worlds (just steps away from each other in opposite directions from the house). An ideal getaway with the full gamut of beach pleasures. Immediate access to boating, surfing, biking, restaurants, shops, and more. Walk out the door and you’re steps from where you want to be.

The home is furnished and designed for comfortable beach living. It includes a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen, three separate sleeping quarters and a one vehicle garage.

The master bedroom occupies the entire third floor with a king size bed, full bathroom, and private outdoor patio with a bay view.

The middle floor has the main living room with a single window AC unit, the kitchen, a half bathroom, an additional bedroom, and an outdoor patio. The bedroom here has a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and twin above. It’s typically suitable for a single guest or children, although it's sometimes used for couples.

The bottom floor has a second master bedroom with a queen size bed and full bathroom. The garage is accessed here.

The ground floor frontage patio is set up to barbecue, relax and enjoy the vibe of the beach community.

Bay boating options are many: catamarans, wind surfing, kayaks, ski boats, jet skis, etc. All ready to rent and launch at Santa Clara Point, a close walk. You can sail in the bay or out into the Pacific Ocean, or just walk over to the ocean side with a surfboard.

Hop on a bike and you can travel for miles on both the bay and ocean boardwalks, crossing over from one to the other at whim.

Enjoy your aprés sea at renowned restaurants, bars, and coffee houses in the historic Mission Beach Business District, which is where you are, just steps away like the ocean and bay. A latte, a margarita, prime rib, fish, pizza, tacos, all at your fingertips. There’s no reason to leave the beach area, as everything is readily available by barely moving.

But if you are inclined to explore all of San Diego there is much to offer, and it’s a short drive to La Jolla, downtown San Diego, Coronado, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, and many other desired locales.

We look forward to being your host and on call concierge.

We had the best time at this amazing property!
This property was in a great location with a very quick walk to the beach, lots of good restaurants and stores nearby, and the neighborhood was lively but also seemed very safe and was quiet at night. The property is very clean, beds were incredibly comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, and there were even lots of beach items--towels, chairs, beach toys, a wagon to cart things to the beach which was so nice to have.Lee was such a good host! He met us when we arrived to make sure we found the place easily and help us get acquainted with the property and the area. He was so friendly and really made us feel welcome. Thank you so much! We had a great time and would love to come back some day.

Unbeatable location
The house is perfectly situated with minutes walk to either ocean or bay as well as several cafes and dining options. We enjoyed watching sunsets and catching a coffee or meal without getting into the car. The house was clean and well stocked. The owner communicationwas terrific. We would readily return.

Birthday stay
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The house was spotlessly clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. Speaking of the beach, the location couldn’t have been better, just a block away!The property was well-stocked with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable, from beach chairs, toys, and boogie boards to shampoos and conditioners. It’s clear the hosts thought of every detail to ensure their guests have a great experience.The owner/host was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a perfect vacation.The added convenience of having coffee, restaurants, bars, and stores all within walking distance made this trip even more stress-free.We highly recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future.

Great Stay!
The host works very hard to ensure everything is provided as stated - and it was! Many thoughtful little nice-to-haves if needed - toothpaste, shaving cream, sunscreen, etc. His restaurant recommendations were right on. (Try Moe's for "Social Hour", and the pizza place down the way.) We enjoyed the beach and tried out our new metal detector - didn't find any diamond rings, though. Never got a chance to try out the barbecue, but the patio is large and has plenty of room to sit out and people watch - we would have used it more if we hadn't been sightseeing and visiting family. Enjoyed a couple of Dodger games on the large tv (sorry, Padres/Mets fans!) Beds were ridiculously comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

The stay was outstanding for beginning to end. Lee greeted us at the property gave us a tour. The property was stocked with beach, chairs and umbrella and a cart. View to the Bayside and the beach. House was squeaky clean. Kitchen fully stocked With utensils and appliances. They even supplied. Toiletries that you might’ve forgotten. I don’t often review. But I was itching to author this one. Outstanding.

Great location and attentive owners
We had a great stay. The house enjoys a great location with beach, bay, restaurants, and a market all within very close proximity. The house was perfect for our three small kids (2-6 years old). Lee was extremely responsive and helped resolve all our needs during our stay. The garage is large and relatively easy to get in and out of. We would definitely return and rent here again.

The house was great! Lee is a gem and is very communicative. The house has everything you need , plenty of towels, toiletries and beach fare. We grilled out and had a great stay! Having everything so close was a big bonus! Surprisingly quiet for being in the middle of everything.

Great Location and Communication!!
Great location for a family trip to San Diego. Steps away from the beach but secluded enough for peace and quiet. Private garage parking is great, as you can walk to Belmont Park etc. Every thing we did (Sea World, Petco Park, Midway Museum, fishing etc) was less than 20 minutes away. Was great to meet Lee, he’s very communicative and will do anything he can to make your stay enjoyable. Best VRBO experience I’ve had.
