We loved this stay. The location was great and it had pretty much everything we needed. The only thing is there was no air conditioning and the fans were SO old and did not work well. We spent most of our time there sweating like crazy.

Cute location. Loved how close we were to the beach

cozy beach house. The only issue was the upstairs guys who were enjoying way to much spring break. We could hear thrir conversations and when the bars let out and they returned to beach house they were loud and obnoxious.

Nice stay

Nice house with privacy and room to relax. A bit noisy when people are upstairs, but I'm sure there is nothing that can be done about it. It wouldn't hurt to provide a king bed with more than a bed frame in the master bedroom. Bed easily slides around. Bedsheets had a hole in them. Love the living room, kitchen, and dining areas. Nice bathrooms too. Could use more beach towels.

Lovely South Mission Beach 2 Bedroom 2 Bath

We were a group of 3 and just wanted to go somewhere cool. This was a perfect spot a few houses off the ocean. This time of year, Mission Beach was pretty unbusy during the week. The TV and wi-fi worked great (one couch potato in our group) and we enjoyed riding our bikes all over. There were fans in each room and we used them if we were home in the afternoon. And I loved that hooks were everywhere! Dave was a very responsive host. We thoroughly enjoyed our (way too short) stay.

Good location and responsive owner

After staying for 8 weeks, and enjoying the area and location of unit, these are my reviews. Noises,...the remarks from Owner in overview, are very accurate. The unit upstairs sleeps up to 10 people and when rented, You do hear inside movement throughout the morning, day and nights. The planes are constaint and do interfere with telephone connections...all no fault of the owners, unless better insulation put in! Owner was very responsive to day to day concerns, when they occurred.

Perfect Location

My family and I loved staying at this property. It was cozy and had almost everything we needed. I was thrilled to see that they had plenty of towels, and annoyed later to find out the teens were using a new towel with every shower (sorry about like every towel being used David). Host was responsive, and everything worked the way it should. The only 2 things we felt would be incredibly helpful to have supplied to make it a perfect stay were a laundry basket and games/cards. With the washer/dryer being in the garage that you have to go outside to access, a laundry basket would make it so much easier. And games-I think there was one maybe. We don’t like to watch tv on vacations if we can help it, but without games, we ended up with it on once or twice. But the garage full of allllllll the beach gear was so so so so nice to have. To address the concerns about no bathroom fan/needing a deep clean. It’s a beach house, not a beach palace. I wouldn’t suggest this house for a fussy person. But if you want to go enjoy Mission for a while, it’s a great little house, but is far more spacious than pics reflect. Bonus:the master pillows were seriously amazing. I forgot to look at the brand but gosh I loved them. And the bed didn’t make my back hurt at all. I have 3 mattress toppers and an adjustable base at home, so, I’m particular, haha. It was awesome. Thanks for a great stay, hoping to come back again in the future.

Trotz der Lage nicht zu empfehlen!

Leider war die Unterkunft sehr dreckig und die Möbel sehr alt und abgewohnt. Das ganze Haus müsste renoviert werden. Der Staubsauger war so schwer und alt, dass er kaum zu manövrieren war. Nachdem wir die Möbel und Teppiche in der Wohnung weggeräumt/weggeschoben und alles von Grund auf gereinigt hatten, fühlten wir uns etwas wohler. Die Schlafcouch im Wohnzimmer ist allerdings nach wie vor so dreckig, dass eine Staubwolke entsteht wenn man oben an der Rücklehne drauf klopft. Diese muss ausgetauscht werden, das ist wirklich unzumutbar. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgeber war nicht ideal. Er wollte mit uns wegen unserer Beschwerden wegen des Drecks sprechen, kam aber nicht vorbei. Sehr schade. Zumindest die Reinigungsgebühr zum Schluss (175$) hätte er erlassen müssen! Leider ist die Wohnung auch sehr hellhörig. Wenn Mieter in der oberen Wohnung sind, hört man jeden Schritt. Die Lage der Wohnung haben wir sehr genossen. Ein Katzensprung zum Strand und eine schöne Terrasse. Wir würden nicht noch einmal hier wohnen wollen, sondern uns eine andere Wohnung in der gleichen Gegend suchen.

Neice Beachfront Property

The location was great and the property was in very good shape. The only difficulty we experienced was it is a two level home and the renters above us were a little too loud early in the morning and the floor was not very sound proof. I would recommend this place if you were going with another family you know where you can rent the entire home to hangout together.

Great location!

Great location on the quiet end of Mission Beach-- 65 steps and you're on the beach. Good communication from the owner-- we had an issue with the garbage disposal and it was fixed within 24 hours. The house was roomy and the patio was beautiful, sun all day long. Some things could use upgrades/ updates: the pillows were old and lumpy, the bedding was low quality polyester and not comfortable. Overall, a 5-star stay and we would not hesitate to book again.

What a great location. Home had everything we could need for a fun week at the beach. Bed was comfortable, teens enjoyed having their own bathroom. 2nd bathroom is a real plus! Kitchen had most everything you could need, many things had been recently replaced. The patio is so peaceful and you can hear the waves while having your coffee. This is a down stairs unit but the folks above us tried really hard to be quite, and it was appreciated! At this price point I was more than pleased with our stay and would stay again.

Great location but the property needs serious upgrading. Bathrooms especially. I know it’s tough to own a place at the beach but many things were subpar considering what we paid. Invest in some decent dishes which would cost next to nothing at IKEA or homegoods. Towels were new and nice. Sheets and living room rug were really bad. And finally, no AC and the fans did not work. Bad. Ring your own fans.

About the host

Hosted by David Catalino

Host profile image
From Buffalo NY, came to San Diego for grad school and the weather in 1985. Won't ever leave, this is the place!

Why they chose this property

The property faces south and gets sun on the front patio all day long. Sunsets are visible from the beach area 100 ft. away. This beach in South Mission by Lifeguard Tower 10, is the longest and widest beach area in San Diego, stretching north to Pacific Beach. There is surfing, body surfing, volleyball courts and room for any beach game you want to play. You can also find an area of sand all to yourself.

What makes this property unique

Large patio to grill and enjoy the sun and your family. Mainly families with young children stay in this area of South Mission Beach which is quiet, but the action of Belmont Park and the roller coaster are only a short walk away. Other Attractions: Seaworld, San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum, Seaport Village, Gaslamp Quarter, Torrey Pines Golf Course, Old Town San Diego, Village of La Jolla, Coronado Island, Petco Park where the SD Padres play April to September, Del Mar Race Track for thoroughbred horse racing July to early Sept.
