About this property
Steps to the water on both sides!!
Very small (under 400 sq ft) & cozy 1 bedroom located in the heart of San Diego's most famous beach community. Just steps to Mission Bay, the beach, the Boardwalk and Belmont Park, Only 1.5 blocks to the beach, and only two doors from the Bay! Only has 1 queen bed and a very small sofa for a small child.
Please note, this is literally the center of Mission Beach, less than a block from Belmont Park, which is great, but expect a lot of people, noise and possibly traffic congestion especially during spring & summer.
This home is a tastefully designed one-bedroom with a full kitchen that can sleep three. Our beach cottage features a queen-sized bed and a couch. The kitchen is equipped for cooking, and amenities include free parking, free Wi-Fi, and Apple TV.

The property was the perfect location for my boyfriend and I. It was clean and quiet and we had a wonderful time! Would definitely rent this property again.
This was the perfect property for access in the Mission Bay Area! One block from the ocean, the bay, Belmont Amusement Park and more. Easy access to numerous shops and restaurants. The house was clean with a nice covered patio, equipped with everything you need and good parking. Communication with the owner was easy and they gave us all of the needed information ahead of time. We look forward to visiting the area again and will definitely stay at this property!
10/10 Everything, thank you for letting us stay in your amazing home steps from the beach! Amazing location, stayed for a week and my teenager (17 y/o) slept on the couch comfortably. Phenomenal host helped us get another key minutes after we lost ours. Very comfortable space with nice outdoor space. Had everything we needed. Thank you very much for this amazing week getaway. Looking forward to staying here again some day!
If you're wanting something close to the beach with dedicated parking, it's the spot. You can save so much money and time by staying here because parking in any of the beach areas is a huge pain. We left our truck and walked everywhere. The park, the beach, the Mission, pizza, Mexican food, Starbucks, everything you want is within walking distance. The patio is big. The unit is very small but workable for two people. The bed was clean and the linens were soft. We didn't use the WiFi or TVs or kitchen but it was all available. The shower has good water pressure and there was shampoo and conditioner and body wash. Access was simple. Neighbors were quiet the area was safe. We slept with the windows and doors all open with no issues. The street is very noisy at night but expected considering the location.
We loved our "San Diego home" away from home. The location is great, the host is responsive, the place is small but clean with all the kitchen setup you need for an extended stay.
I only have two small suggestions for the property description. It cannot sleep 3 so I suggest that it is changed to sleeps 2 or 2.5. Also (and this is very minor), the "front door" is on the right side of the property, which confused me and made it harder to find the lockbox for the key. These are minor points, overall I give the owner high marks for responsiveness and being a great host.
Although California struggles with homelessness, which you will see all over the city as you explore, we did not have any security concerns. We felt safe in the apartment. I say this as a senior citizen woman traveling with my adult autistic son.
The owner has put a lot of thought into providing what is needed for a comfortable stay.

Could be better but not bad
The good: location was walking distance to the bay and eatery’s which was perfect not having to drive too much. Outdoor patio was spacious enough to have our meals. Kitchen is a good size and packed with spices and things you’d normally forget to bring with you. Couch is different as pictured (not a futon) but still pretty comfy for a night or two.
The bad: There were old food items left in the fridge from prior guests and dirty silverware. Not very clean. Everything was sticky from counter tops to remote controls. Fans provided were full of dust and hair so I took 1 of them out to the wash area to clean up with a rag before use. Neighbor to the left of wash area was very rude and snarky for no reason. Towels and rugs were mixed matched, stained and had a funny smell to them so we spent as much time on the patio as possible and purchased febreeze from a local store.
Overall would stay again if the cleaning company that provides their services to the host steps up their quality in cleanliness. Place has potential.
This small unit was great for my little family's vacation. It is very small, but has everything needed. The location is excellent and the assigned parking spot is just great.
Perfect location. Access to a whole lot of things. Was a little smaller than I had expected and a little warm. Noise above us was a lot a couple nights. Even with all that I would still stay there again. I now know how to prepare for anything I didn’t like.
My wife and I flew in from Oklahoma for a quick few days ,family function to attend on Mission Beach. The property was perfect for just the two of us. It was very quiet, clean and in a very convenient location. 10 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from Sea World, Great food places, entertainment, shopping and beach in very close walking distance.
The accuracy of the pics of the interior was spot on. The misleading part was the location of the building in relation to the neighboring buildings. Upon arrival, I got a bad feeling about my stay due to how the surrounding area looked. Also, the building being right off the main drag had me deeling concerned about noise. However, once inside, the experience was nice. I wouldn't call it a 5 star experience, but it was nice for the price.
Really great communication with manager and he was very attentive to my needs.
The bed was broken upon arrival and the sheets did not appear to be fresh. Next day he came and fixed the bed and provided new sheets for me to use. Kitchen and bathroom are sufficient.
This spot was very convenient for my conference at the Bahia resort and a much more affordable option. I was there on Memorial Day weekend, and although the bedroom faces the street, it was not overly noisy.
After a drop at the apartment from Uber, we enjoyed the ability to walk everywhere we needed for our three day beach getaway. Mission beach was only a block away, as was the bay. There are too many restaurants to list that were very close , and convenience and liquor stores with basics for a couple of days. We loved the diverse neighborhood and energy. We had access to a couple of folding chairs, an umbrella in the building's outside storage, lots of sand toys, too. Nice for our days on the beach.
Unit is small but adequate for 2 adults. Location is convenient to a ton of the Mission Bay attractions. No beach views only a view of the street, fyi. Overall, I would recommend this property for long weekend adult getaways.
