We have been coming to Sandiego/Mission Beach for the last 7 years. This rental was great location. The amount of room this place has was amazing. It was a great experience. We will be booking soon for our trip next year on the Marine Corps Birthday/Veterans day weekend.
The location was great, which is why we chose the property. It appears the building was under ownership change (sold sign out front), which may explain a few of the issues I'll mention. Overall, it was an ok place. Having a garage that my full-size SUV would fit in for the trip was HUGE. The place had what we needed. A few shortcomings were: the front slider will not lock. Needs adjustment so the latch will catch. We had wooden poles to slip behind the door, but it would be nice to lock it. The refrigerator and freezer are just barely getting by. At max settings, the stuff in the fridge never made it to preferred temperature and items in the freezer took about 2 days to freeze. Not ideal. The place needs a little TLC, which may be planned by the new owners. But it was acceptably clean and as mentioned, you are staying and paying for the location.

Amazing Location!
We enjoyed our time with our adult kids + partners. The location is amazing!! Beautiful views, sunsets, and people watching. It was perfect with us having our own bath and the other two couples sharing the 2nd bath. Check in process was a little frustrating - all the communications say please don't ask about early check in, if its ready early we'll let you know. It was clear the unit was ready earlier in the day (we drove by), but we did not get a notification until I bugged them a few times, received 'bot' replies about parking, then finally they said the unit was ready about 1.5 hours early. We did not have any major issues with the interior but several small ones ...the patio furniture was filthy .... they sent someone the next morning to clean it off. The dishwasher and oven both had issues - loose hinge on the dishwasher and oven handle that came off when we pulled it open. Other reviews mention the lack of seating, that is definitely something to upgrade. 3 person couch for a place that holds 6. Its great to have the garage (very small but standard for that area), but more than once we went to leave and were blocked in by another car. The first time I messaged about this, I got the same bot reply about parking. After that I received a reply that was not very helpful about how it looks like I can still get out. Overall: location makes up for a lot of the small issues, but with a makeover and improved response time (no bots!) it could be a real gem!
The house was so nice! No complaints! Rental management was great to work with! Definitely will stay here again!

Very close to the beach!
Very clean and nice inside. Very easy to walk to the beach and restaurants. The views is great. Only complaint is the walls are pretty thin so you might have a problem with the noise if you're a light sleeper.
Such an amazing place! Close to loads of stores and places to eat. It was awesome to have garage spots to park the cars. We had everything we needed and Bluewater was very responsive to all of our inquiries.
The home was ideal for my family of 6 and two small dogs. Ideally located right across the boardwalk from Mission beach, the home was spacious and was stalked with everything we needed. The patio had enough separation from the boardwalk that our small dogs were well contained. As mentioned in other reviews the garage is small, barely accommodating our Honda Pilot, but we were able to make it work. i would highly recommend the unit.

Awesome location!!
Great beach front location! Lots to do and see! Overall was very happy with the condo. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of a musty smell upon arriving at condo, but cleared up once we opened windows and got airflow. Also the shower would turn cold at random times while showering but then would warm back up after a few minutes. Condo was well equipped (kitchen, towels, beach towels) and even had washer and dryer, which was handy. The Key Concierge service was suburb as well.
Nothing beats a property on the boardwalk in Mission Beach. Nonstop people watching, and look out for Slo Mo who skates by in his slow style twice a day. In the mornings before 9 am and in the afternoon after 4 pm, the dogs come out! The apartment is great with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Also rare was an enclosed garage for the car. The dining table is right in front of the large windows to enjoy the ocean view. The management was always ready to answer questions.
The people upstairs were running around and making noises from 4 am to midnight. We could hear every footstep. Cheap floors? No carpet? Ruined the trip. We complained to no effect. Also check in and out too strict. Lighten up, we have a toddler.
This condo has the most amazing views from all rooms. Beds are super comfortable with great bedding. Well stocked kitchen, great tv’s and a wonderful patio to sit relax and watch the waves. While we were there over Thanksgiving we saw so many dolphins playing in the waves and a few whales. It was an amazing place and stay!!
Spent a week with 8 close friends. This place fit the bill perfectly. Super clean and in excellent condition, spectacular view. Convenient location, reasonable walking distance to Crystal Pier area with its amenities but far enough away to be away from noisy evenings.
Awesome property managers (Bluewater) took care of all our needs.
It’s a great property. Only problem was with grill which they sent tech out immediately but we had problems with it our last night. Kitchen needs bigger skillets and the tile floor makes the bottom of feet black.
Great location right on the sand, nice patio out front, very nice garage. Master suite is nice and large facing the ocean while the kids bedrooms are fairly small and are in rear of the property.
