About this property

Sunny Mission Beach house, steps to Ocean & Bay!

Summary:
Bring the whole family to this oversized, comfortable & cheery 2-bedroom home! You're just steps to the ocean and Mission Bay, with miles of boardwalk for walking, biking, or scooting right out of your front door. Enjoy wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurants - all within walking distance. Mission Beach is an excellent location for ocean sports, family-friendly activities and fun on the sandy shores of the beach or bay.

The Space:
The home has three levels with an attached garage (please bring a small to medium-sized vehicle, as the garage is a bit lower height than a standard garage (Dimensions: 74" from garage floor to the top of the garage door when it's rolled up, length of the garage is about 16.5 feet). The lower level has a single bedroom with its own full bathroom. Middle level has open kitchen, dining area, living room, half-bath, and balcony. Upper level is a huge loft master bedroom and beautiful full bathroom with walk-in shower and a small balcony. Beach gear and a washer/dryer included!

Full-over-full bunk in 1 bedroom.
California King in 2nd bedroom.
Huge, leather reclining coach with floor room for a queen air mattress (provided).

Guest Access:
Check-in is all contactless. You will be given a door code 3 days prior to arrival.

The Neighborhood:
Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around "courts" with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to "live at the beach".

Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away).

Getting Around:
Rental bikes and scooters are plentiful for rent by the hour/day/week. The Boardwalk and Bayside Walk are wonderful ways to travel throughout the beach and bay. The 2-car garage guarantees that you will always have parking should you venture out into greater San Diego. We've also partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!

Other Things to Note:
This property is dog friendly. A $150 pet fee applies per stay.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

Amazing location and amazing property

Had a weeks vaca with my folks who were visiting and it was great. Lots of space, comfy sleeping and also great kitchen to hang in and lovely front room with fireplace to relax in. The location was unbelievable, the oven one block one way and the bay one block the other way. And also a great taco shop 100 yards walk.

A lonely place!

This was such a unique property. I layed in bed and saw the full moon through the sky light. Woke up to the sun coming theough the small window. Sat by the fireplace for tea in the sun in the mornings. The architecture was unique and fantastic. The garage was fantastic to have. Could walk to great restaurants. Plus could walk easily to the bay and beach. Ill definitely be back. Absolutely fantastic time.

Great communication with property mgr

The house is situated a block from beach and from the bay. It’s a beautiful setting. The garage is probably only 6 feet tall in height so i would only rec a sedan park in there. We had a dodge ram truck which wouldn’t fit but Aaron was helpful in letting us park in their business spot at night because street pkg is difficult to find. We were very grateful for his help and communication

Great Space and Location!

This place was awesome especially for somewhere that allows dogs. It was clean, stocked, and room enough for my family of 5 plus 2 dogs. The property management was super helpful and accessible. Being able to take the dogs to the bay or the beach on a simple walk was priceless! You are tucked in enough from the street that it isn't too noisy but yet you are right by all the good restaurants and coffee shops. We would love to return!

Great Location

The location of the home was great! Easy to book, easy in an out! Aaron was great to work with! the only things I would recommend would be more dish wear ( glass ware in particular ) and to make sure the BBQ is clean prior to anyone checking in. Also a better vacuum considering sand is every where with kids no matter how much you rinse them off before hand! My family and I had a great time!

Great location great communication. Be careful. The garage is very very small but you can put a car in there. I will definitely be back. They did little things like coffee and towels and beach toys as well. A little extras meant a lot.

Great location- short walk to beach or bay

The home was a decent last minute option for us in lieu of two rooms at the catamaran hotel. The location was great because the kids could walk a few shorts steps to the bay, or cross the street to the ocean side. The only issues i had were that my stock ram 1500 was too tall for the garage, so i had to find parking a ways down the street, which was inconvenient. The main bedroom (of 2) had little privacy because of the loft design. The 3 floors of stairs were really dirty, but understandable at a beach house. We wore sandals inside because of that. Other than those issues, the home was comfortable and clean. It was nice to have AC, as not all beach houses have it. I would recommend this home, but not sure I'd choose it over some other options out there. The host was responsive and friendly.

Cleanliness is a relative question.

This is a 3 level home with enclosed garage Bottom level is bedroom and full bath Second level is full kitchen, living, and 0.5 bath room Top level is a loft bedroom with full bath and generous closet space. Pros: bathrooms on each floor, full kitchen, living room, outside shower, garage, washer/dryer in garage hist responsiveness, accepts pets. Cons: Overall cleanliness, broken shower and poor drainage on bottom floor, no washcloths, and linen was seemed to be dirty. This was a last minute rental for our family of 5 with a service dog. We arrived very late based on our travel, around 1:30 am. Unfortunately, we experienced some bathroom trouble and ended up having to all use the upper floor shower. As stated cleanliness is relative, we are from Hawai’i and live in our home without shoes or slippers, take a shower every night and in the morning. Just our way of life. If this is how you live as well, then this is not a recommended place to stay. The carpet area is rather stained, flooring throughout is not clean for barefoot use. Also, we experienced finding hair in the bedding and the linen did not smell clean. Fortunately, we were able to wash everything on site and the drainage in bathroom was fixed in a timely manner. Nonetheless, I compare staying at a local home vs. a hotel. There are certain basic needs you expect when you pay a certain amount. Therefore, I would prefer to stay in a hotel rather than this location. If you are ok with shoes in the house and are accustomed to bathing only in the morning, then this may be a good value for you. Plus pets are welcome here.

Centrally Located

We've stayed in this area before and really like the close proximity to the bay, ocean and restaurants. Aaron was very responsive and had the place well stocked. Very clean and pretty quiet..people wise. Street noise can be obnoxious at times, which is hard to get away from anywhere near Mission Blvd. The one surprise was the recently built house next to the parking lot that does block any view to the west. Otherwise, I would definitely stay here again.

Great Place within Walking Distance to Beach and Bay

PROS * Clean (with one exception) * Owners were excellent at communication * Baby crib * Patio areas' doors can be secured shut. * Electric touch lock makes it easy to access and no fears of losing keys at the beach * Steps to the Bay or Beach CONS * As this is a tri-level, you cannot avoid stairs. (seniors, senior dogs, young children, people with physical disabilities and anyone carrying luggage, groceries, etc.) * Top bunk bed duvet was stained * Garage height and length is SHORT. Just **barely** fits a mini-van (pacifica) but you can't open the hatch. Don't think about 2 cars. You can squeeze them in if you turn the side mirrors in but you literally can't walk between them, much less jump in to go out and about without removing both vehicles. * The lane you turn from/into while parking is very tight and there was a work truck right next door all the time blocking the lane. * Ground floor bedroom and bath were freezing. We ended up using the space heaters from the closet, but with children and dogs, did not dare use them unless an adult was in the room. So we had to be cold when we first went to bed. * The 2nd floor was pretty cold too but once we got the fireplace and heater on, it was okay. SUGGESTIONS * Tell renters they may want to bring (or provide) 2 removeable baby gates (2nd floor top of stairs, 2nd floor bottom of stairs) and avoid letting children on the 3rd floor at all as it is a loft bedroom. * The Bay side was a let down for our family (not enough sunshine and not much area to play in sand without a giant sand wall in front of your view) but the beach side was great. * Fireplace turns on gas with key and you'll need to manually light it. This could easily be dangerous. Key CAN be removed so kids don't fiddle with it. * A labelled map of the small side streets and the main street so you know exactly where the house is because the 'street' it is on is not the one where you park. Finding the right alley took us a couple tries and some one way streets. Directions were not super helpful until we decoded them but at that point we'd figured it out. Overall, we would definitely rent here again but have to come up with a parking strategy because the on-street looked like we'd lose a mirror and the paid parking was way pricey. And we'd bring baby/dog gates.
