Welcome to Light and Airy on the Bay! A penthouse condo with 3rd floor views overlooking beautiful Mission Bay! You will really feel like you’re on vacation when you walk into this bright and sunny unit, with floor to ceiling windows it feels like you’re flying above the bay. Impeccably kept, the amenities are endless, including pecan hardwood floors, an A/C unit that keeps you cool during the summer, and a large extended deck with over-sized seating area overlooking the bay.

You'll find your stay a little bit quieter and more relaxed and family oriented in this unit. The location is perfect for the true "Southern California Experience", a short walk to shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants. Walk from the bay to the beach in under 5 minutes to surf, boogie board, people watch or catch a beautiful sunset.

The layout makes it great for families and friends to share. You enter this unit on the 2nd floor of this 3 story building, expect 2 flights of stairs. The entry floor holds a foyer and a private king bedroom with a full bath. Walk upstairs to the 3rd floor and look out in amazement at the gorgeous view. This level hosts the open living room, kitchen, dining room and large open balcony overlooking the bay. Down the hall are the master suite and guest room. The master bedroom suite features a king bed, large soaking tub and separate shower, a double sink and walk in closet. The master bedroom closet also has two twin XL cots that can be rolled to wherever you would like. The guest bedroom has a queen bed, bay windows with views of the bay and its own full bath.

The kitchen is stocked for meal preparation, dining and entertaining. The living room and all bedrooms are equipped with a smart TV and cable. The beds are soft and cozy and the sofa, while it doesn't have a pull out, is large enough to accommodate a sleeping teenager!

The garage can fit 2 cars and has a washer and dryer, stand up paddle board, boogie boards and beach chairs. On the outside stairwell you’ll find an outdoor shower perfect for rinsing off after a surf, swim or playtime on the beach!

Enjoyable weekend on Mission Bay
Very clean place with beautiful upstairs patio that has bay views. Super nice 2 car garage (parking around Mission Bay is horrible). Only downside is there are lots of stairs, we have 3 young Grandkids. We will stay there again!

The Best Beach Vacation!
This beach house is amazing! We will absolutely stay here again! We have stayed in multiple beach houses around this area and this by far was our favorite. The house was immaculate inside and out, and had plenty of everything. You can literally come with your clothes and toiletries and don’t need anything else. Also the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, very easy to communicate with throughout the booking process and our stay.

Perfect Location
The photos made the rental appear more updated. When we checked in, in the height of summer, the heater was on and the temp inside the home was 84 degrees. The glass doors to balcony did not seal, with large gaps, and made it difficult to keep insects and heat out. The internet did not work well in downstairs unit, nor did the AC which was absolutely freezing in the main bed/bath. The location was perfect and the night views are pretty spectacular. Would not stay again, but enjoyed our vacation none the less. Property Manager was very nice.

Family Vacation
Our family loved the week stay at this property! The home was a perfect set up for two couples and children with three en suite rooms. Being right on the bay was perfect and next to the street directly to beach access was extremely convenient. We will definitely be back!

Great property for a family trip
We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. Being bay front and so close to the beach was perfect for our family. We were only a steps away from a number of good restaurants and coffee spots which was convenient. We will definitely stay again.

Wonderful property
This is a fantastic condo with an amazing view - as advertised. The kitchen was well appointed with glassware, cookware and plates. The unit was spotless, and the outdoor furniture very clean. Very cute "beachy" artwork and home accessories are found throughout the living spaces. We were amazed how quiet and peaceful this location was! Such a nice spot to sit on the deck and soak in the spectacular view of Mission Bay. One suggestion would be to install hooks in the bathrooms for travelers to hang their toiletries bags as the counterspace is limited. Overall a fantastic stay!

Great Location! Soak up the sunshine.
Great location overlooking the bay. The bay is outside the door. The ocean and beach walk is also very very close. This may be the best location to access the bay and the ocean. Easy walk to convenient store, restaurants, Belmont Park, etc. We walked to The Mission restaurant. Fantastic brunch!! So much California sunshine comes through the glass door wall, it is perfection. Open the doors to a nice breeze. I could stay here forever. Listing photos and description were accurate. Management communication was ok. They send automated messages but were non responsive otherwise.

Great communication and well stocked for beach play
We stayed at this unit for our son's wedding in San Diego and unfortunately, didn't end up with the time to play at the beach that we had hoped for! Positives: *Amazing communication before, during and after stay. provides an online book that gives all the info needed to plan trip *So well stocked for beach play: SUP boards, boogie boards, sand chairs, toys and cooler *Beautiful views to wake up to! Negatives: *SO many stairs-if you can't handle stairs, this isn't the unit for you. *The unit below us was being renovated and they began pulling tiles off the wall at 7:00AM both Saturday and Sunday mornings. I actually went down there on Sunday morning as it was constant banging-luckily, this would probably only affect stays currently *The unit is clean, but is definitely showing wear and is getting in need of some updates.

Better than anticipated
This unit was perfect for our family group of three couples. Some of the highlights were the glass walls and doors facing the bay so we could watch the SeaWorld fireworks every night and one night there were a school of stingrays feeding at the edge of the bay! The deck was perfect for coffee in the morning and reading books when we needed down time. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking our own meals easy. It was a very quick walk to the ocean with the bonus of a wagon, chairs, boogie boards and an umbrella supplied in the garage. This was a wonderful place to stay, would definitely book again!

We loved our stay. It is a sanctuary. Once you enter, you leave behind the world. The view is stunning and is incredible to wake to every morning and enjoy at sunset each evening. Spotless, has everything you need, very comfortable and well decorated. Plenty of space. Communication was efficient and thorough. We definitely will return as our son relocated to San Diego.

Wonderful vacation
The location and amenities that this beautiful home affords was just what we needed for a long overdue vacation. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed to eat in and the location was perfect for nearby dining out when we wanted to go out. We used the paddleboards and other beach toys to fully entertain ourselves on the beaches. We walked to Belmont Park numerous times for adventures and more fun! Booking, check in, check out, and any needs that were communicated were always responded to efficiently and with courtesy. The view from our “perch” was perfect for both wildlife and people watching. We would definitely love to return to this home for a future vacation!
