Perfect Thanksgiving Staycation

Our family had a fantastic Thanksgiving staying at this beautiful condo on the bay! The kitchen is so well stocked that cooking was a dream. All of the televisions worked and the view of the bay is breathtaking. We especially love the deck and watching the sailboats. and paddle boarders. We are San Diego residents and do this every year. We will rebook for next year as this exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic beach house for 10

This was a very well stocked house that had everything we needed. The kids loved all the games and puzzles. We quite enjoyed being on the bayside as it was so calm and the lights on the bay at night were beautiful. Great balcony to enjoy your morning coffee while the kids run down to the beach and play!

Exceeded Expectations

Our group of 9 had a wonderful stay at this home. The kitchen was well stocked with quality appliances and cookware, the view was even more beautiful in person, and the bunks were larger than they appeared in person. It was tight, but we were able to keep 2 small SUVs in the garage, and also found a variety of beach toys and a collapsible wagon that the kids really enjoyed. The location just can't be beat! We loved being on the quieter bay side and having easy access to the ocean. Most of our excursions were just a few miles away and took less than 20 minutes to get to. The hosts were attentive, but respected our privacy. Everyone in our group agreed that we would stay here again and recommend this home to anyone looking to travel to San Diego.

Great House-Perfect Bay Location

Great bay front home for a family of 6. We stayed here during the 4th of July week and it was perfect. Drift Vacation Homes was excellent to work with and made us feel like valued guests. We will be staying here again soon and using Drift for sure.

A beautiful and comfortable stay

The property is beautiful, comfortable, spacious, and at an excellent location. While the kids enjoyed playing at the beach, the adults can watch them at the balcony, enjoying the shade and the view. We saw many fish jumping out the water and even a sting ray swimming by. It was also nice biking around the bay. The only problem we had was parking. We had one mid-size SUV and one compact SUV. It's too tight for both cars to be parked in the garage, and in the afternoon or weekend, it's very hard to find a street parking in the nearby neighborhood. The neighborhood is at the bay side and is much more peaceful than the ocean side. It's a wonderful place for a family vacation.

Great Location and Home

Our stay was more than what we could ask for. This is an amazing house in a great location. It is steps from the bay and steps from the beach. The house was clean and the beds were so comfortable. We enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning. Also the 2 car garage was a major selling point. We would absolutely stay here again.

Mission Beach Meet Up with Grandkids

Overall, the condo is excellent! The views of the bay (tons of glass) from the kitchen, living room, and deck are fantastic! The kitchen is well appointed and the couch in the living room quite comfortable for a view of the bay or TV. Deck has about ten bar stools good for drinking a glass of wine and watching activity on the bay or on the bike/walking path. (The deck, however, could benefit from a few chairs and a small table.) And the location is perfect imo. The condo is waterfront (bayside) but just 2-3 blocks from the ocean. Easy walking on bay path or ocean “boardwalk”. Grandkids loved the beach by the bay when they came for visits. Would rent this manse again.

Loved our time here

This house has everything needed for a fun, relaxing stay. There’s plenty of room on the main floor, the kitchen is well stocked and the bedrooms are comfortable and roomy. Parking is always a challenge but the garage held our Ford explorer and Hyundai Santa Fe with plenty of room to get the beach gear and bikes out. We plan on coming back!

Great location and property

This condo had everything we needed and more. The kitchen had all the appliances, pans, utensils that you could possibly need. There were games for the kids, beach toys, wagon, and many more things to make the stay perfect. There are a lot of stairs in the property, so I don’t think this would be great for someone with mobility issues. The garage is tight, but it looks like all parking in this area is snug. We had a full size SUV and it barely fit. There was no way to fit another vehicle in the garage at the same time. I would highly recommend the property….the location, amenities, view. It was a great stay and we would come back again!

Family Getaway

Beautiful location! Beds were very comfortable and lots of helpful amenities. Great water pressure in the showers. We appreciated the little extras like the shampoo/conditioner in every bathroom, dish soap, hand soap, lots of towels, blankets and extra pillows. Unfortunately, the BBQ didn’t work properly which we had bought food for and the couches and flooring had food, dirt and sand from previous tenants. The vacuum to clean the floors didn’t work well enough but we used the broom often. We appreciated the quick fix to the kitchen faucet when it broke off. All in all, we would totally come back and stay at this place again. Thank you

Great Location with Views

The family was very impressed and we would stay here again. Pros • Large family room and kitchen (one of the main reasons we booked this place). Everybody was able to relax together in comfort. • Nice kitchen and bathrooms. • Great views. • Immediate access to the bay and easy access to the beach. • Walking distance to many restaurants and the grocery store. • Garage parking. We parked a 4runner and civic with little issue. • Well stocked. Cons • Dirty floors. I read a review saying the same so we packed a swiffer but the floors need a better cleaning between stays. • The bunk bed is difficult to get in and out of.
