Bayside views

Second stay here, love the views from deck/patio : morning sunshine and evening sunsets, fireworks at night! Stayed a different week this year and lots more little kiddos around and below us so not quite as calm and relaxing on the beach below. Spent more time beachside as a result. Love this place and being on the bay .

Pictures didn't lie

Our week at this lovely, comfy condo was perfect. Our view of Mission Bay was soothing and colorful when Sea World shot off fireworks in the evening. The location was ideal for long walks along the ocean. Susie was great at responding to any and all questions in a timely manner.

Cannot say enough good things about this property

The property is a third floor unit overlooking the beautiful Mission Bay. It is perfectly located within easy walking distance of numerous restaurants. It backs up to a large bayside beach and is only a block away from the ocean. The unit is very spacious, very clean, and has all amenities you could ever need. The owner, Susie, is super responsive and courteous. It was a perfect vacation!

Just awesome!

We love this place so much, this is the first time we've done a return visit! The house is always clean and very well maintained. The view of the bay is just spectacular and never fails to bring that "wow" factor as soon as you walk in the door. Every detail has been very well thought out that makes your stay very comfortable and makes you feel at home. Susie is so great to work with, from preparing for your arrival to when you sadly have to leave and return to reality. Thank you for giving us our best vacations ever Susie!

Breathtaking Bayside Home

We absolutely loved the home! It was so beautiful from the moment you opened the front door and saw an incredible view of the bay. Everything was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed! Susie, the owner, was extremely helpful and did all she could do make our stay the best! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location

The terrace has the most beautiful view. It was so nice to just relax and look at the birds, the boats, the walkers. The third floor gives quite a bit of privacy, too. This is a very well run property. We would definitely stay again.

Mission Bay Heaven

Everything about this stay was perfect. The condo was gorgeous. Steps from the bay, the views were awesome. The kitchen and living room had spectacular views out over the bay and at night the lights were amazing. The kitchen was big enough for multiple folks to be chopping and cooking and had everything needed. Back the other way, we were minutes from the ocean and could take the chairs and board and spend the day. Scrupulously clean, best shower I've been in and the views mean we will be back as often as we can.

Perfect location and accommodations

My two sisters and I stayed here, and we found it to be perfect for us. The view is fantastic and the furnishings were very comfortable, which was good because we had to cancel two days of activities due to the worst weather San Diego has ever endured. It has the best-equipped VRBO kitchen that I have seen. Susie was very easy to work with and even called to check on us during the storm. We would go back in a heartbeat!!

The BEST in Mission Beach ? NO LIE!

We had two Seniors - Two millennials and one 6 year old. Our host, Susie, accommodated all three age groups from an elevator (we were on the third floor) to beach toys (we literally were ten steps from sand). Communications with Susie were smooth as butter and the pictures of the condo are TRUE to form enhanced only buy the sunrise views and two block walk to the ocean. THANK YOU Susie... we hope to have a return trip!

Perfect piece of beach area paradise

This spot is a gem! The space and views from every spot of the living area are magical. The location can’t be beat and the host is fantastic and making our stay a seamless and wonderful experience. She goes above and beyond with communication, and checking was a breeze. The location and two parking spots that come with this unit are a game changer, but the views of the water are what makes this spot so special. We even had fireworks every night of our stay that we could see from the huge balcony. We hope to be back! I highly recommend!

Probably the best property we’ve stayed at, & we have stayed at many, many properties over the years. Susie Purvis was also the nicest owner I’ve ever worked with. I could not believe how well stocked the house was! We have stayed at units where we were lucky if the bathrooms had a roll of TP! We are renting Susie’s units again next summer!
