Amazing place to stay right in Mission Beach. We traveled with our teens and the included bike and beach rentals were great. There were 6 in our party and this home was perfect for all of us, especially the outdoor space. Walking distance to the bay and Ocean was minutes away. We’d definitely stay here again! Host is excellent and you can tell they take pride in covering every detail!

The internet didn’t work for the first 3 days and intermittently the 3rd day. We asked for help and the technician came promptly but didn't fix it. One of us brought intenet dependent work and couldn't do it. Plus the internet-dependent TVs wouldn't work. This was -very- frustrating. Also FYI the right front burner on the gas range top doesn’t work.

Great neighborhood walk to everything
Stayed 5 weeks and had an awesome time! Everything just as advertised beautiful place. Best street on Mission beach! Ninety degree turn into a narrow garage was challenging with my suv. Thankfully I had electronic folding mirrors. The garage is 2 car tandem depth so length not a problem. Once you’re through the garage door opening there is no problem. Home is spectacular with great patio and fire table.

Great location and super clean rental.Would agree with other reviews the 3rd “bedroom” is more of an entry area and pull out couch rather than a bedroom. And you do hear occupants above moving around.Neither of these impacted our stay.

We stayed a month, everything you need to know
Overall impression: Perfect location, great house but has some negatives (below). Would still recommend this house, it was a very enjoyable trip. Walkable to the beach and tons of restaurants.
Important notes: This is not a 3-bedroom house, this is a 2-bedroom with a pull out couch in a common area. The couch is located in the room where the front and garage door enter. There is no privacy/bedroom door, no shower on that floor, and anyone sleeping there will have the rest of the guests walking through their space regularly. May work for children, I would not want to sleep in that space as an adult.
The building is a 3-story building and this rental is only the first 2 floors. So that means there is someone living above you and you will hear footsteps through the ceiling.
The water heater is disappointing. You have 10 minutes max of hot water in the shower. If you expect to have a bunch of people showering regularly in the house, you will not have hot water for all. The water heater also regularly shuts off (sometimes mid-shower) and you have to go into the garage to turn it back on.
There are a/c units throughout the house that work. Mildew is a big problem with these types of units (according to the a/c guy) and we had to clean a couple ourselves.
The garage entrance is in the back of the house and across the alley is another rental, sometimes they would park poorly (or double park) and getting into the garage was tough. If you are a poor driver, beware of this.

Great property and location, very poor communication
We absolutely loved the location and property. We went there with our family and it was conveniently located to the beach and plenty of other things. Very poor communication from the property manager. We asked for an early check in and crickets. We then asked for a late check out and you guessed it, crickets. We made the most of it as the cleaners were there the minute check out was supposed to be.

You can hear footsteps from the property above and we did wake up to city truck Tuesday early early am and street sweeper Wednesday, killed a few spiders but overall great experience.

Beautiful property & great location!
I couldn't have been happier with my choice for a vacation rental! Location sits perfectly between the Bay and Ocean. Walking distance to both north and south sides of Mission Beach for shops and restaurants. Home is newer, spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated. Contact with rental company was easy and helpful. Just FYI that parking in the 2 car tandem garage is a little tight so a large SUV wont fit, but I was able to get my Kia Sportage to fit. Highly recommend this property!

The PERFECT location.
Easy walk to beach, bay, shops, restaurants, Belmont. Our spot was just perfect for myself and grandkids.. ages 21, 18, 15 and 9. Immaculately clean. Having a garage is a great perk. Just don’t rent a large car. We had a VW Tiguan and that was a great fit. Highly recommend. Thank you for attention to detail. Much appreciated.

This is a beautiful property and neighborhood. I wanted a quiet space and this was it. Very quick walk to both the beach and bay. Luigi's down the street was great for dinner. Lots of eateries and bars a little north in pacific beach. We enjoyed renting bikes and riding along the beach and bay. Beds are on the very firm side. Overall, i highly recommend staying here and the property management is very responsive.

Pleasant Spring Break at Mission Bay
What a wonderful location for our spring break, with easy access to Belmont Park's activities and restaurants! The townhouse was very well maintained, with updated furnishings. They have gone the extra mile to make the unit easy to use, like marking which light switches are for which room. There's not central air conditioning, but a/c units in each room worked great - they were not the "old timey" window units that I had in mind. We had a small SUV (Ford Edge), which we were able to park in the garage with a few inches to spare on each side when pulling it in. I wouldn't recommend a car any wider! And the rental agency was very timely with information we needed for our stay. Overall, a very enjoyable stay for our daughter's spring break!
