Graces Beach House was owned by Grace Withey and managed by Pat and Mike Withey. In december 2012 Grace passed away at 90 years old.James Patrick [Pat] and Mike Withey inherited Graces and are still managing it. In 2009 Grace decided to remodel her home which included gutting it down to the studs and completly remodeling the home with new everything then turned it into a vacation rental.
The home is in South Mission Beach and is a single family home. It is one of only a few Ocean Front single family homes left most are condos and consist of 2 or 3 units which means at Graces there are[ No Shared Spaces]. South Mission is much quieter and low key compared to north mission and I believe is much nicer and better suited to families and retired vacationers. Boardwalk is right in front of the property then a huge white sand beach then the Pacific Ocean. This is a beautiful location and a awesome place to live or visit.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were reasonably comfortable. The location was the best part. We loved being right on the boardwalk. It allowed us to go to the beach as much as we wanted without having to pack kids and supplies into the car.There were plenty of beach toys, chairs, and towels. It was nice to have a pack and play available so we didn’t have to fly with a crib.The only downside was the cleaning status. The bathrooms and kitchen were nicely cleaned. However, on arrival one of the beds had clearly been slept in and not changed. The house overall could use a deep cleaning (lots of dust, dirty blinds, outdoor furniture not cleaned, etc). It wasn’t enough to bring down my overall rating, but some more attention to housekeeping would be a good idea.I would absolutely stay here again, but I hope it’s a little cleaner next time.
We had an incredible 5 nights at Grace's Place. This home is one-of-a-kind: A standalone, 3 bedroom oasis a short hop over the boardwalk to the beach, volleyball, and ocean. The kitchen is nicely outfitted for all of the seafood cooking we did, the outdoor space is wonderful for enjoying the sun at home, and the home is spacious and open enough for everyone to spread out or watch movies and play games together. Thank you for listing this wonderful space!
We absolutely loved our stay at Graces Beach House! The location was perfect on the boardwalk/beach and close to everything. It had everything that we needed and was very clean. We enjoyed our daily walks as well as watching the volleyball games. The sunsets were beautiful! The hosts were amazing! We can hardly wait to come back! Thank you so very much!
We enjoyed using Grace’s Beach House as our home away from home for spring break. The extras were perfect for our group- the kids enjoyed the beach toys and inside puzzles/ games. Thank you for sharing this space with us!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The beach is just steps from the door. Our 6 year old loved walking every morning looking for seashells and sand dollars. The house has plenty of sand toys and beach towels/chairs. It also has a really well stocked kitchen with basic spices, Tupperware, even Saran Wrap and ziplock bags, a variety of pots/pans that don’t stick and knives that actually cut! It’s in a great location at the south end of mission beach, which is definitely much quieter for families with small children. And a perfect launch point for SeaWorld and the zoo. This place is a real gem!
Very nice location, perfect spot for small family right across from the beach. Our kids loved being able to sit in the patio and run over to play in the sand and water. The house was clean and had everything we needed for cooking or playing. Plenty of sand toys and towels as well as beach chairs. The patio was also really nice. Easy to check in, and we appreciated being able to get in a little early. We would definitely stay again. I also appreciated that it was a single unit.
The location on the quiet end of Mission Beach. The location was convenient to go to the zoo and Old Town. It was comfortable for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The kitchen had the dishes and cooking supplies the make meals. Pat was very helpful answering the questions we had. It was a great trip!
My husband and I stayed with our 2 year old and loved every minute. Being right on the beach was amazing and we were a 7 minute walk to a playground and near so many amenities. The house was great and had everything we could need. We’ll definitely be back!
Amazing location right on the beach. So much fun sitting on the patio and watching the volleyball courts. Cute house and comfy beds. Perfect for our stay.
Thank you!
The property was the perfect cozy spot along the boardwalk to spend my 40th birthday with my husband and our kids. It was outside of the busiest areas so the spot was quiet and peaceful but you could easily walk to Belmont Park for brunch or dinner.
We enjoyed our time here and appreciated the great communication, easy check in, and available parking.
Myself and 3 friends stayed in this property for a long weekend in Nov. We had a lovely time. The location is wonderful - right on the boardwalk, oceanview, can walk to tons. Nice they offer bikes (and locks). Kitchen had a few spices (no oils or condiments) and we used the grill. I would stay here again for sure. Pat even let us drop our bags early and he let my friends stay 1 hour past check out! Sunsets are so nice here! Plenty of towels and pillows!
Would recommend the bar "The Pennant" right there - food in the back is cash only. Was a nice "dive bar".
Random things I was not expecting and want to pass along (not big deals, but worth mentioning): I was mailed a paper lease to sign and return. There is a credit card fee that doesn't show up until you try to book. These are just FYIs and did not affect my stay.
Had a great long weekend stay with family. The private patio right on the boardwalk and all the included beach chairs and toys were awesome to have access to. A little dated, but perfectly nice place to stay. Easy communication with the hosts about check in and check out. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, but I believe Pat is nearby if needed. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Host was very easy to communicate with, location is awesome and it’s just as advertised. Tons of amenities and the perfect spot for a relaxing beach getaway. We will be back!
Fantastic property! Location is superb for beach, restaurants, grocery, marina, etc. Communication with owner was easy, along with check-in process. Highly recommend, and will stay there again if we get the chance.
Had the best time ever! Very clean, comfortable beds. Everything you need to stay! We enjoyed staying there it was easy to get to! Parking was ok for one car! Lots of beach towels, coffee pods and other items! Would definitely stay again
My name is Mike Withey I manage Graces Beach House with the help of my brother James Patrick [Pat] Withey. Our mother Grace Withey was the owner but recently passed away in December 2012 at 90 years old and Pat and I inherited Graces. My wife and I live in Topeka KS. and moved here to watch our son Jeffree Withey play basketball at KU. My brother Pat who lives 2 blocks away does all maintenance and checks in and out vacationers and I do inquiries and bookings. We hope you choose Graces Beach House for your next vacation. Thanks for your interest Mike Withey
