About this property

Right On The Beach! Exquisitely Remodeled 3BR/3BA . Perfect For Families.

Enjoy our completely remodeled and tastefully appointed 3-bedroom 3-bathroom waterfront home as a fun family adventure or a quiet getaway. Our home is located on the exclusive, private and peaceful Bay side, as opposed to the crowded, noisy oceanside of Mission Beach. From your cozy beach retreat, you will experience some of the finest panoramic views of famous Mission Bay. Our home is absolutely perfect for children. You can step out of our home and onto the fine beach sand of Mission Bay, and not have to worry about crossing a street. ‘Bayside Walk’ is right at your doorstep (One of the most scenic walking and biking trails in Southern California that curves gently around Mission Bay). If you are looking to enjoy big ocean waves and the hustle and bustle of Mission Beach, it is only a 5 minute stroll away.

Start your day relaxing inside or outside with a cup of coffee, and watch a beautiful Bay sunrise. During the day, take advantage of 19 miles of sandy beaches, 14 miles of bike paths, a network of channels, islands, coves and wildlife preserves, including so many recreational activities that you could easily spend all your time at the bay without having to think about driving your car! When the sun goes down, fire up the BBQ, and look out over the blissfully quiet beach, and the tranquil, calm water of the bay. Before you turn in, enjoy a grand view of the explosive and spectacular Sea World fireworks (seasonal) right from your own patio.

The master bedroom has a California king-size bed, and is fitted with fine linens. There is a large flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable and various streaming services that you can use with your own account. The large en-suite bathroom has dual vanities, a large shower and a bathtub. There is a walk-in closet leading off the bathroom. You will enjoy stunning views of Mission Bay from your master bedroom and can watch the sunrise from your bed each morning!

There is a beautiful glass atrium leading off the master bedroom, which is a place where you can sit and work at a desk or relax and read a book, while looking out over the beautiful Bay.

The second bedroom has a queen-size bed and is fitted with fine linens. There is a flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable and various streaming services that you can use with your own account. The en-suite bathroom has a single vanity and a large shower. There is a walk-in closet leading off the bedroom.

The third bedroom has 2 twin-size beds and is fitted with fine linens. There is a flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable and various streaming services that you can use with your own account. The en-suite bathroom has a single vanity and a large shower. There is a walk-in closet leading off the bedroom.

The living room has a full-sized sofa bed and accompanying fine linens. You can sleep in the living room with the ‘La Cantina’ folding glass door wide open, while enjoying the wonderful sights, sounds and fresh air of the Bay. There is a large flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable, and premium home theater surround sound stereo.

The patio offers spectacular 180-degree views of the Bay. There are very comfortable patio lounging chairs and tables to relax around, and a high-end large Weber gas grill.

The kitchen is fully appointed with cooking, serving and dining ware. It has granite tops and high-end appliances including a professional Dacor stove top, conventional oven, microwave oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

The dining area has a table that will seat 6 people comfortably and 8 people if you pull up the 2 stools from the kitchen counter area. A wet bar with granite top is attached to the dining area.

There is a separate laundry room inside the house, that has a washer, dryer, and additional sink area.

High-Speed wireless internet is provided throughout the house and will also work on the patio and beach in front of the house.

There is double-car garage equipped with an automatic door. Note that the garage was originally built at a time when vehicles were a little smaller, so if you have 2 full-sized Vehicles/SUV’s, they will not both fit into the garage. However, 1 full-sized Vehicle/SUV and a small car will fit into the garage.

If you are looking for a slightly smaller home, we also have a 2-bedroom 2-bathroom sister property that sleeps 6 and is in exactly the same location. Please go to www.vrbo.com/299442 This home has also recently undergone a significant remodel.

Belmont Park's historic roller coaster, Crystal Pier, the trendy, funky shops, cafes, restaurants, and nightlife of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach are your neighborhood destinations.

Easy access to San Diego County's most popular attractions including Sea World, the World-Famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Seaport Village, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Downtown San Diego, Coronado, Del Mar and much more.

Beautiful spot!

The condo was very clean, updated and decorated beautifully. Location was perfect for our group since it was not far from any of the activities we wanted to complete throughout our stay (beach trips, downtown exploration, bay boat tour, etc). Owner was very communicative and accommodating as well. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Family Fall Break Getaway

You and Karin have a lovely beach home! We're pleased with our decision to stay on Bayside Walk instead of Ocean Front Walk. The peace and calm of Santa Barbara Cove is more our speed. We appreciate the detailed instructions. We've been able to figure everything out from those. We appreciate organization and cleanliness and were easily able to adapt to the environment. Please let your wife know the house was very well stocked upon arrival. It was great to have tissue, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish cloth, dish towels, dish sponge, dish soap, and dishwasher pods in the house and easy to find. The live flowers were also a nice touch and the art in your entryway is lovely!

We enjoyed our time staying in your beautiful condo.

My nephew enjoyed seeing the ocean for the first time and getting to build sand castles. Your home fit our needs very well and we are glad that we stayed here. '

We had just 5 of us. Property beautiful. Enjoyed running on path and local breakfast. Very clean. Process for check in easy. The details and warnings were a bit disarming as we were afraid we’d get the few dishes we used back, linens in right place, garbage out, cushions in etc.

Great communication to start with owner. Very simple booking and access. This was the perfect location for us to call home base while in San Diego. Kids loved playing on the beach bayside and the walk to the ocean was very quick and easy. View was spectacular from living room. Would definitely come back.

Beautiful house, excellent stay

Truly a beautiful house on the quiet bay side. Easy, quick walk across the street to the bustling beach. Everything is high end, modern, clean. Well appointed kitchen. Loved every sunrise and sunset! Three floors with spiral staircases- just thought I’d mention for anyone for which that is important. The building is angled to the alley and the garage is just past once you see the front door. That was a tiny bit confusing when we first arrived but a nice neighbor helped us out. Would have loved a few more restaurant, cafe recommendations in the welcome book but that’s nothing Yelp can’t solve. Cleaners arrived at 9:45am so check out time at 10am is truly strict. Thank you for allowing 6 college friends to use your home to reunite for a wonderful 50th bday celebration weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Grant McKinstry

Host profile image
My name is Grant McKinstry and I live in San Diego with my wife Karin and our 2 children.

The 'Beach House', as we like to call it, was purchased as a second home for our personal use and is only 20 minutes from our primary residence. It is our home away from home and we have furnished and appointed it as a comfortable and relaxing place to enjoy with family and friends. We outfitted the Beach House in such a way that we can jump in the car and go to without having to think about packing much besides our clothes. We try to use the Beach House ourselves as often as possible, but with the competing priorities associated with family life there are times when we cannot use it, and therefore look to share it with others.

My wife Karin and I actively manage all aspects of this property ourselves, as we quickly discovered that property management companies do not measure up to our high standards for cleanliness, personal communication and organization.

We feel very fortunate to be able to have a second home in this wonderful place that has so much to offer, in a neighborhood of people who are always friendly, welcoming, and happy. Waking up every morning with a beach on your doorstep will do that to you!

Why they chose this property

Mission Bay is a premier location in San Diego, with 19 miles of sandy beaches, 14 miles of bike paths, a network of channels, islands, coves and wildlife preserves, and a huge number of recreational activities right on your doorstep.

The panoramic views of Mission Bay are spectacular. Whether you are watching the sunrise in the morning, the sail boats that glide back and forth in front of the house throughout the day, looking out over the blissfully quiet beach and mirror-like calm waters of the bay at sunset, or watching the explosive Seaworld fireworks at night.

When we purchased this property our kids were much younger, and the close and easy proximity to the beach was a major factor. They were able to walk right out of the patio gate and onto the beach without crossing a road. When they were playing on the beach, we could actually keep an eye on them from the patio, or from inside the house. We are a family who love water sports and it is extremely convenient to be able to ‘park’ a Hobie Cat, recreational boat or kayak on the beach right in front of your home.

We were looking for a home in a quiet and safe neighborhood, and Mission Bay is one of the only beach communities in Southern California that offers this. If we want to spend time on the livelier and noisier boardwalk and Mission Beach, it is only 2 small blocks away.

Parking at any beach city in Southern California can be problematic. As a result, we wanted the ability to be able to park our car at the Beach House and not have to drive anywhere. Our location puts us within walking, biking or skateboarding distance of many restaurants, shops and recreational activities that we might need.

What makes this property unique

- The views
- The proximity to the beach
- The 'happy' and safe neighborhood
- Being in walking distance to most things that are needed
- The San Diego weather
- The many things to see and do around you
- Did I mention the views!
