We will take care of the rest. This unit has been recently updated with new furniture and decor. You will love everything it has to offer. Guest Access: The grounds are a shared common area but each unit has its own set of outdoor furniture. Note your patio furniture is in the front of your unit. The Neighborhood: Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around "courts" with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to "live at the beach" Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away) Getting Around: Please note that there is no parking at this residence and street parking tends to be difficult find in peak season. You can always park in alleys (just look for breaks in the fire lanes or on Mission Blvd (Just check the street sweeping signs). If you head east on Santa Clara Pl towards the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, there is free daytime parking (not for overnight use). Next to Santa Clara is the Mission Beach Women's Club, which offers paid parking when they have it (look for the envelopes by the door. Finally, in a pinch you can drop stuff off and then park in Ventura Cove and grab a Bird scooter and jet back to the property. Most of our guests never use their car once on site since everything at the beach is walkable (or Uber-able in a pinch). Other Things to Note: There is a fully stocked kitchen with all items needed to bake, cook or grill, pots/pans, cookie sheets, casserole dishes, outdoor plastic dishes, knives, cutting board, blender, coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, first aid kit, a/c & heat, wifi, Smart TV, hair dryer, iron, iron board, shared washer-dryer, luggage rack, hangers, extra linens, pillows and blankets, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, beach umbrellas, and patio furniture. Beach Equipment: despite the inclusion of snorkeling gear, we do not offer it at our rentals For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement. Interaction with Guests: We are a self-service destination (check-in details will be sent 3 days prior to arrival). However, we are also a full-service, professional management company (that has been a Superhost/Preferred Partner for over 4 years running) and we are just a phone call/text/email away and have agents that are almost never more than 10 minutes away should a need arise. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the condo: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Self parking on site (surcharge) - Limited onsite self parking ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Furnished balcony/patio - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Sailing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 450 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121810000/121809800/121809735/04d15cf0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Seaside Nook (steps to sand!)

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was absolutely perfect, with both the beach and the bay within a short walking distance. Same for restaurants and other things to do. We loved our little place although the online photos made it look roomier. But it was only the two of us here so that was fine. The outdoor patio was wonderful and I spent relaxing time out there getting some sun and reading. The inside was very clean, modern and comfortable. We had an issue with the heating unit the first night, but after that was resolved we had no other problems. The host was very responsive to us which was greatly appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend this to others. ##### Deborah P. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob S.

The property was clean, safe, and well-appointed. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable making for plenty of good sleep. It is one of few properties that has air conditioning and, although we didn't need it, it was wonderful to know it is there (there have been other San Diego visits where I wished I had it!) Location is ideal with easy access to both the ocean and the bay and surrounded by plenty of decent restaurants and coffee houses. Don't skip this gem if it is available! ##### Jim I.

Cute, clean and great location! There were plenty of towels and beach supplies for us to use. There isn't really any closet space so if your someone who needs to hang their clothes up, this might not work for you. After going back and forth with finding a parking space the first two days we ended up just leaving our car parked and walking along the beach for the rest of the trip. It was a very short 4min walk to the beach and if we wanted to go to belmont park it was only a 15 minute walk or pacific beach was only about 20 minutes away. There is so much to do in these beaches, we rarely found the need to go any further. ##### katie m. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mike p. Oct 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mission Beach sojourn Lovely downstairs unit (we were there in off season and could hear walking around in upstairs unit but nothing too outrageous) within walking distance of ocean beach, bay and restaurants, bars, etc. Had a very relaxing time and enjoyed our stay. Management easy to communicate with and entry a breeze. Unit was clean and ready for us (acceptable size for two). Only negative- a bit of an odor when first entered but I attributed to it being closed up and needing some air circulation. Fine afterwards. ##### mike p. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea L. Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location We spent five nights at the condo. The proximity to Mission Beach is less than a block. It was lovely to spend time on the beach and walk the boardwalk. There is an amazing bakery close by- Olive’s- highly recommended the cinnamon buns. Aaron was easy to communicate with and did his best to accommodate us. The condo is clean and stocked with coffee, filters, sugar etc. Appliances are new and clean. There’s an outdoor shower to rinse the sand after a day at the beach. There is little space to unpack your suitcase as there are no dressers in the bedroom. There is a large closet, however. Perhaps some under the bed pull out storage containers would alleviate this issue. If you’re hesitating over booking this condo, don’t. It’s better than the photos and I could not have chosen a better location. ##### Andrea L. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy W. Feb 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Live like a Local This apartment was renovated nicely, and once you figure out how to use the stuff, it was very comfortable (the A/c is also heat in the living room!). I enjoyed the location but if you have a car (and I did) it was sometimes a bit difficult to find parking; but if you are willing to walk a bit, not really an issue. The only issue I had was with the construction of the place, you hear every sound above you. Not to mention the planes. But I am a light sleeper and like to sleep until 8 am. The owner did make my life difficulty with lots of back and forth (no telephone conversations allowed) making things more difficult than they should have been. He did apologize and I believe he would be available if I had needed him. All in all, a nice place to stay where you can cook and not be at restaurants every night. ##### Cathy W. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dan C. Apr 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Worth the price We enjoyed our stay and the location is great as our daughter lives just a few blocks away. The place was very clean and had just about everything you would need. The noise from upstairs is more than we were expecting, especially when they came crashing in at 4am talking very loudly then having some extended “intimate” fun which we could hear quite clear. A few things that would cause us to give a full 5 starts: darkening curtains or roller blinds in the bedroom. There was quite a bit of light coming through and we had to use a blanket over the blinds to block it out, there were only 2 skillets that were quite small and had to cook in stages, the shower door is missing a screw causing it to not operate smoothly, the bedroom chair in the corner was not attached to the base causing a safety issue, the coffee pot has no auto off and we mistakenly left it on all day, lastly some distilled water for the iron would be nice so all the minerals don’t end up on your clothes like they did with mine. Other than that we do recommend this place and would stay again! ##### Dan C. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim I. Aug 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### My go-to property in Mission Beach I've stayed here before and I will stay here again. This gem is just as described. It is extremely clean, well maintained and very inviting. The bed and bedding are extremely comfortable. The air conditioning works well for the very rare occasion of a hot summer evening. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed. The shared laundry room was clean and easy to use. Plenty of beach equipment to take out on the sand. This property is in a prime location in a quiet neighborhood just 50 steps to the bay and 200 steps to the beach. It's on the narrower part of the isthmus so you will find things to be much less crowded than near Belmont Park or Crystal Pier. No parking for this particular property but we were able to always find a spot, even in the middle of August, on Santa Clara Point just two tiny blocks to the north (I didn't count the steps to the parking lot). Shout out to our host, Vacation Rentals by Aaron, for thorough, thoughtful communication always at just the right time. We never needed to reach out for an issue of any kind but I knew, if needed, Aaron and the team would be right there for us. Bottom line: Book this place now, before I do. And you know I will! ##### Jim I. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kristin M.

Directions to the place were a little confusing to both myself and Uber driver but with the help of a kind woman in the rental office was able to find it right away. I was very sad all the outdoor cushions were not only rain soaked but filthy; pretty much the reason why I rented this unit was because of this potentially lovely outdoor space. I understand they’ve gotten a lot of rain but the sun was shining when I arrived and those cushions should have been brushed off and set to dry in the sun! The indoor space was great with a well stocked kitchen ( although ice in freezer was an old half used stale bag of ice I immediately threw out). I would also recommend better lighting; half the outdoor lights were burned out and minimal lighting inside with the exception of very bright overhead lighting ( can you spell mood spoiler) and the wall sockets were in hard to reach places as I wandered around wondering where to plug my things in. The hair dryer was filled with old hair and dirt rendering it useless and disgusting. First time I opened the closet door the entire door came off its tracking! I will close with saying the rental agency was very quick to respond to my calls; although most disappointed when they said there was nothing they could do about the wet/ filthy cushions outside. Believe a little more attention to cleanliness lighting ( including easier access to wall sockets) would help this rental imensely. ##### Kristin M.

The property was clean and stocked with everything we needed. It's within walking distance to everything Mission and PB have to offer. ##### David H.

The location was great, in between the ocean and bay. the condo was a perfect size for a couple retreat. The only down side is parking was very limited. Mission Blvd is really close, but we had to park 5 blocks away.I will visit it again. ##### Matthew M. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen S.
