Mermaid's Hideaway! Just steps to the ocean!

70 steps to the BEACH! Three block walk to Belmont Park and local dining and attractions. Newly remodeled (May 2023) with a wonderful open design, perfect for enjoying with the whole family! Four bedrooms are as follows: TWO KING bedrooms and TWO bunk rooms. Great for sharing!

Located on the beach side of Dover Court in South Mission, just south of Belmont Park and the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster. Part of a two-unit home, this property is the whole upper-level, located above a separate two-bedroom beach cottage.

TWO OUTDOOR AREAS: ONE BALCONY DECK OFF THE LIVING ROOM WITH A WHITE WATER VIEW AND ONE ROOFTOP DECK WITH AN OCEAN VIEW! Note that this property does not share the ground-level patio, and instead has a balcony as well as a private rooftop deck. Spend your mornings and evenings on the rooftop complete with BBQ, sitting area, and ocean view! Enjoy grilling and dining while just steps away from the deep blue sea, the boardwalk, sandy beach, and surf. The location is ideal, making this property convenient to beach activities and all the other sights you don’t want to miss while in San Diego! Check the map to see for yourself!

Two king bedrooms, two kid bedrooms, as well as two sofa sleepers. Plenty of sleeping space to choose from.

* We love our furry family, but please leave your pets at home. We have a strict no pet-policy to keep our homes clean and allergy-free for all guests!

* Markets and restaurants are all within a 2 to 3-block walk.

* Lots of bike, kayak, surfboard, and sailboat rentals all nearby.

* Plenty of boogie boards and sand toys available at the property for guest use.

* We have a guest laundry room with multiple washers and dryers that will help you pack lightly. Don’t forget your beach towels!

* Garage parking! Private reserved two-car garage that barely fits a large SUV with big garage door open, but we advise to bring/rent an average or smaller car at the beach, if you can!

Check out all of the extra photos and compare with others. This is the best value in Mission Beach! We would love to have you visit us, and want you to come back again and again!

The kids and I really enjoyed our stay. The beach is so close to see from the balcony or rooftop, and nice to have a short walk onto the sand. The place was clean and comfortable.

Great house with a fantastic location!

Just spent several days at the Mermaid house and loved it. I took my teenage son and several of his friends. The boys loved the location. We were steps from the beach, very close to Belmont Park and lots of restaurants. Its in the middle of things but still quiet. The house was perfectly clean and, although not beach front, has great beach views. Two of the bedrooms are kind of small but there are plenty of beds. The kitchen and living room have been beautifully updated. The rooftop deck has a great view of the ocean. There is plenty of hot water, lots of towels and the kitchen is well appointed, there is even a fantastic kitchenaid mixer. The washer / dryer is not actually inside the house, its down the stairs but easily accessible and there are two so its easy to get it all done quickly. This condo gets the whole garage, the spots are tight so do not bring a big SUV. We had rented a mid sized SUV and it fit but was tight. We had a slight issue with the grill and the management company was very responsive and found us a solution quickly. I would definitely rent it again!

We had a great time! Location is perfect for a beach vacation. We enjoyed the rooftop balcony, grill and well-supplied kitchen. As suggested, bring smaller vehicles…a Chevy Tahoe is too big for the garage but public overnight parking was nearby.

Holiday Get away!

We had a wonderful time in Mission Beach at Mermaid’s Hideaway. It was lovely- the space was large and open, with great bedrooms and the rooftop deck was awesome. It was steps to the beach and conveniently located close to restaurants and coffee shops. We had great breakfast at the Blue Palm, right around the corner. The kitchen was really well stocked with equipment and the owners were so friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend this property!
