The large kitchen boosts quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, free standing island and unique charm. Italian crockery service for 8. Full range of pots, pans, utensils and serving dishes.

Open plan lounge with chandeliers, comfy slipcovered sofa and armchairs, and freestanding gas fireplace make it the perfect place to curl up with a book or watch movies. Flat screen SmartTV with YouTubeTV.

Both bedrooms feature:- Queen shabby chic poster beds with down pillows, down duvets and 450+ thread count linens. The beds are exquisite and should ensure all the rest you will need for your busy days.

Great place to stay
This was a fantastic place to stay for our family of four. The bay was on the one side only a few steps away, and the beach was on the other side. The only “downside” is parking. There is a small garage, but our suv would not fit so we had to park on the street, which was fine but when the street sweepers came we had to move and then lost our spot. Minor detail, still a 5/5, would totally go back again.

Perfect Beach Bungalow
This was a beautifully refinished house inside which was perfect for the four of us. Very close to both Mission Bay and the ocean. The traffic noise was the only negative thing but not bad. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice Getaway
We were visiting friends in San Diego recently and wanted to stay in the Mission Beach area. The cottage fit our needs well! So close to both the Bay and ocean beaches, as well as plenty of great dining options. The garage is small, but we were able to get our Jeep Grand Cherokee inside so had onsite parking, which was a plus. Very nicely appointed cottage with ample kitchen space, a nice sitting area, a cozy deck and two comfy beds. The only "downside" were the occassional morning deliveries to the nearby resort loading dock, otherwise a great stay and very recommended! Definitely would stay there again!

Perfect place!
Our stay at this cottage was wonderful. It was beautifully decorated and beds were comfy!! Molly was very attentive and the location was perfect!! Steps away from the bay and ocean. Our kids live in San Diego so this location was perfect to get to everything we needed. Will definitely stay there again!!!

We enjoyed the cottage very much The patio could use a clean up around the fence. The palm trees need stimming as there are lots of dead fronds.

Perfect location, so close to such great restaurants, private and quiet for being on main road, so amazingly close to the beach and loved the decor! Having a garage to park was a great perk as well. I would definitely recommend staying at Molly's. You will love it!

Beachy Cottage (Mission Beach)
Great location. Nice, historic (1930s I think) property near the beach- be prepared for some wear and tear ( bathroom in particular) which we’d expected given the vintage). Private patio area a bonus and very lovely. Beach toys were also much appreciated. Private garage is a godsend in Mission Beach. Beware that garage is small as the owners advertised. We downgraded the rental to a Nissan Versa which just fit with inches to spare, so nothing bigger than this model. Would stay again.

Our stay at cottage in Mission Beach
Overall Shaz's place was nice, close to beach & bay, but beware on busy street with loud trucks esp early in the morning. One night had car alarm going off all night long, in car parked on street. Had to use large floor fans to block out noise when sleeping. I was disappointed when sent 2 texts to Shaz complaining that needed a new shower liner, 1 in there was pretty disgusting with mold & also shower floor very slippery when soapy, almost fell 1st day, had requested a shower mat; but never got any response to my text. So we made do, but would have appreciated response to text. She did respond to my text when garage door off track & not opening or closing, but did have my husband talk me through to get it back on track. We also did not have a spatula, only large metal one for grill that was difficult to cook eggs in frying pan. But figured again would make do since never addressed other issues. Overall beds were very comfy & loved close proximity to restaurants & beach. But a beach wagon & cooler would have made walk to beach a little easier. Patio was great with privacy, but unfortunately we were there during excessive heat wave, so unable to enjoy as much as wanted to. Washer & dryer easy access in garage, but beware garage is as small as reported.

Mission Beach Oasis
We had a perfect stay at this lovely beach cottage. My husband and l were visiting my son who is stationed at the Navel Base. This was a perfect spot . Close to both bay and ocean beaches less than a 5 minute walk. You can tell that who ever purchased furniture , bedding and kitchen supplies bought high-quality products and not the usual cheap items you some times find in a rental. The outdoor was great lots of greenery and a privacy fence do you could drink your coffee in your pj's. Managmest response also top notch. Can'not say enough great things about this property.

About the host

Host profile image
I was born in England and Ivey, my husband in South Africa. We moved to The States 23 years ago and have called it home ever since,. We live in Solana Beach, have two children of 21 and 17 and two Jack Russell Terriers.
We love outdoor sports/activities adventure and travel and combine all on trips as often as possible.
We have two other vacation rental 379170, which is next door to this listing and 657994 on Pismo Court which we also completely remodeled. I love the whole process from demo through to interior decor and am hands on at every stage. I hope it shows how much thought I put into you having the perfect place to stay while visiting Mission Beach.
I hope my mission will be accomplished.
Have a wonderful stay.
Shaz :)

Why they chose this property

I wanted this cottage at first sight. It had such 'lovely bones' and I was fortunate enough to be able to demo and then nurture into the most adorable place. It is located next door to our other vacation rental VRBO # 379170.

What makes this property unique

Restored beautiful old wooden floors add to the charm of the cottage.
