There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms as well as 2 large living areas, decks on each of the 3 levels, kayaks, paddle boards, boogie boards, sand toys, a hot tub, the dining table could accommodate all of us at the same time, etc. The best part is that it was right on the bay so that the little kids could walk right out and play without having to drive somewhere or cross a street. Cindy was very responsive and quickly took care of some storm-related issues that affected the property and compensated us accordingly. We have spent time at 3 different properties in Mission Beach/Bay and by far this one was the best. We will likely stay there again. ##### Mark K.

Steps to the bay waterline and a two block walk to the Ocean water line. Beautiful paths to walk right outside your patio or enjoy the view complete with decorated sailboats and fireworks (viewable from sea world show) during our Christmas Week Celebration Communication was excellent and we had a couple first day hiccups which were addressed in person immediately- great customer service! Note twin beds as pictured were now a full size - dissappointed the littles we had, but everything else is great! ##### KC S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff T.

It accommodated our large group comfortably with easy access to the beach. The house was set up with everything you need for a great beach house vacation. We are already looking forward to next year! ##### Jeff T. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark E.

The bay is a great calm spot for the kids to play in the sand and the paddle boards were a massive hit for everyone. Cindy the property manager was also fantastic. I would recommend the property to anyone! ##### K H. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie G.

We were here the last weekend of March and had amazing weather! The house is filled with everything you could need; beach equipment, baby stuff, Roku on the tv, lots of clean towels and bedding. There is nightly fireworks at Sea World that reflect in the bay. So beautiful. We ordered groceries and food and the delivery guys all knew where to find the place. I did a ton of research and we definitely had the best vacation home on the water. The location is amazing. You are a block away from Starbucks, restaurants, the beach side, Belmont Park. We never drove anywhere except to visit Coronado one day. I loved the Bay side, a lot more quiet and less windy than the beach side. Definitely worth it. And check-in and check-out were a breeze. Great communication with the property manager. Would totally stay here again. ##### Stephanie G. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith K. Mar 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The best! We are local San Diegans with the advantage of knowing how wonderful our beach and bay are so believe me when I say you will not find a finer vacation home for a family stay. The home is beautiful and blessed with four (!) parking spaces. The sunrise and morning peace over Mission Bay is tonic for the soul. We had to postpone from January to March because of the coronavirus and Cindy could not have been more helpfully with the change. She has my eternal gratitude. This was beyond what we hoped for when we planned this family gathering. Memorable! ##### Judith K. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean M.

Cindy the Property Manager was awesome, and very helpful. This house is by far one of the best residences on the beach. Nice and quiet with cool neighbors as well. Five stars! ##### Scott L.
