The house has lots of places to sit outside, and bikes, paddle boards, beach chairs, and more to use. Also room for 5 cars to park. We hope to visit again next year!!

During our week's stay (March, 2024) the beach was lively and fun without being chaotic. We played on the beach, swam, used the nearby kid's park, rode the bikes that came with the house, cooked and grilled a ton, and were able to really unwind.

Ample room. I loved the big garage door fronts that allowed a lot of air flow. Lots of beach toys in the garage. All beds were comfy and clean. Kitchen had everything you needed. Tons of restaurants and bars in walking distance. We had a concert in Chula Vista one night and El Cajon the next. Worked out great. ##### Nancy A.

Our family loved this house!! We stayed here in early November. Great location and a very short walk to the beach side. It was on the bay side so not as busy but perfect for our 3 year old. The house is very well stocked with everything a family could possibly need - towels, chairs, beach stuff, bikes, the best stocked kitchen we have ever experienced! We made cupcakes for our mother’s birthday and there were 3 cupcake pans! I would definitely recommend this place. There were 9 of us and it was plenty big enough. We really enjoyed running along the beach and riding bikes. We opened the garage doors every day and it was very enjoyable! ##### Leigh Ann K.

The beds, bedding, towels, and appliances are first class; the pantry gave us coffee and spices as well as paper products and storage options. Toys (bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, etc) for the beach and water are all available as are games, books, and TV for inside. We were given clear instructions for entry and INSTANT responses when we asked for recommendations. Seriously, this place is amazing and the location is a perfect spot to stay put OR launch to do other things. Thank you for being AMAZING hosts! ##### Jennifer M. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna S., Westlake, TX USA May 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location We initially had planned a family trip with my daughter and her family but at the last minute they had to cancel, so my husband and I had the whole place to ourselves. The unit was as pictured online and, besides being right on the bay, was a short walk to the ocean. Instructions for checking in were emailed prior to arrival and made accessing the property quite smooth. Parking is the only issue than could have been a problem. There was already a car parked on the outside and our Kia Sportage rental just fit in the garage. We initially had a minivan which I’m not sure would have fit. Also after washing clothes the night prior to leaving we found the dryer wasn’t working. It was too late to call anyone so we managed to air dry the clothes. Even though we didn’t have the trip we had planned, we did enjoy our stay. ##### Donna S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Barry O. Apr 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Property Was Clean Hours before they let us in We had a problem with main door lock several times--the door lock is loose but there must be other issues and should be replaced to allow for easier access to the property once you have entered the access code. Other locks around the doors are also loose. The large front awning closes intermittently without activating it or programing. The instructions should identify which alley way leads to the property like Vanitie off of Mission Street. It appears the unit had been cleaned hours before we arrived at noon. We waited for that promised message that we could get in early, but it never came. During that entire time there was no cleaning crew or vehicles parked around the two garages; access to the property could have come much earlier. Many of the cooking utensils were old are pretty dated and can be replaced. There was a construction vehicle parked at the property the entire time we waited. We also appreciated the one hour extension at the end of our stay. Thank you ##### Barry O. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francesca L. Jul 20, 2018 #### Excellent location, stocked well with amenities, great property manager We stayed for one week in July 2018 with 4 adults and 3 children. It was located perfectly in a quieter area of Mission Bay right on the beach. We had plenty of space. Don’t go buy any beach toys because they have it all ready to go in the garage. Rowena, the property manager, was quickly available and I have never before experienced the level of service she provided. She even dropped off skewers and supplies for s’mores. They have a fire pit to use on the beach too. The kids loved it. The busier beach location is just two small blocks away. There are many restaurants and coffee shops close by (but they supply the coffee too). It is a few minutes from Sea World and very close to the zoo too. We were in the second floor unit and never even heard the guests staying above and below us. The air conditioning is only in the bedrooms so the communal living area does get warm during the day and opening the cool living room garage doors let a lot of flies in. We had to have the fly swatter handy and make sure to not leave any food out. They did provide a couple fans which helped some. Overall it was one of our favorite trips. We are planning to return next year because there is so much more to do in that area-we just did not have enough time. ##### Francesca L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Trent S.

Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and so well appointed We stayed here for a week long family vacation. Our ages for 9 guests spanned from 8 years old to 50. This is a great location with footstep access to the bay and only a short 2 block walk to the ocean side beach. Loved having all the water “toys” readily available. Plenty of room for everyone and the multiple outdoor spaces were wonderful for morning coffee, happy hour drinks, and sunset. Owner was so communicative and responsive. Only a 15-20 min to drive to everything we wanted to see: La Jolla, Torrey Pines, the zoo, sea world, downtown. Highly recommend! ##### Kim A.
