  My family rented this condo for 5 nights over the Thanksgiving Holiday. What a treat this location was! Right on the bay, and just a minute or two walk to the ocean. We really enjoyed the view from the condo. We found the condo very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, as we proved when we cooked a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and found everything we needed. Everything was in excellent working order as well. There are plenty of activities nearby. Miles of walking near the bay and ocean. We enjoyed Sea World on one of our days; it is so close by. There's plenty of shopping nearby, and while the girls shopped the guys played golf at a nearby course. Susan provided plenty of information prior to our arrival, and when when we had questions, we received prompt replies. Susan was very accomodating and easy to talk to. We will never forget Thanksgiving 2012 because of the wonderful memories we made here. We hope to return in the future.

  We found the penthouse condo to be amazing! Our middle son was getting married on the beach and our other sons also flew in for the wedding. What a great family space we had! We spent a week enjoying the views, listening to the seals barking in the morning, saw dolphins jumping and of course time on the beach with our grandchildren. The condo has everything you could possibly need. I wish it had an elevator, but I'll take the views over the elevator! There is a Ralph's supermarket about 2 miles north on Mission Blvd. for stocking up on groceries, beer, etc Our favorite breakfast restaurant from when we lived in San Diego is located on Garnet in PB "The Broken Yolk". The condo is very clean and well maintained. With grandchildren we really appreciated having a washer and dryer in the condo. We will definitely rent this fabulous vacation home again! Thank you Susie and Steve!

  We had a wonderful time at this location. One of the best in Mission Beach. We had 9 people staying here and we were very comfortable. Very quiet at night with easy access to the ocean and a wonderful view of the bay. One of the best features is the keyless entry. You use codes to access the condo and the garage- so much easier than dealing with keys. The parking was better than expected. You can park a MInivan in the garages without any problems. When they say a full kitchen, they mean it. Pizza cutter, cheese grater, all were available. The balcony and its view were perfect. My dad loved having his breakfast out there every morning and watch the fireworks at Sea World each evening. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

  The condo was great! It had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. The underground parking was nice because during our stay we had rain and this way it kept us dry. With it being so close to the sand it made it super easy for me and my 16 mos old to enjoy and be super close in case of emergency. The owners were super easy to deal with and very accomodating. They kept us in know for any issues which was also super nice. After taking a walk on the ocean side with all the crazy spring breakers we were super glad that we chose this condo because it was quieter (not a big fan of waking up to partiers when you have a little one asleep). And we also got plenty of good exercise as there is only stairs up to the penthouse which we also enjoyed. Nice touch adding the bottle of wine to our stay. Thank you so much! If we come to SD again, I'm sure we'd rent from you again. A+++ - The Taylors and the Kyes

  We met our daughter, her husband and their two children in San Diego for a week long winter break in February. We were extremely fortunate to find Susan McArthur and her VRBO rental condo in San Diego on Mission Beach. Susan is extremely helpful in setting up our vacation location. Every detail was handled with incredible professional and personal attention. The condo with it's two private enclosed parking spaces met our every need. The location was perfect and the condo is everything that we could have hoped for. We actually had a group of 8 people very comfortably stay in this great 3 bedroom unit. I would highly recommend this unit to any family looking for a clean, well provisioned roomy condo to relax in. It was quiet with a great beach on the bay side, and easily within walking distance of a lot of great beach attractions. Our teenagers, including a girl friend found a lot to do right in the area and were well pleased with our choice of housing. GIve Susan a call. It was sure worthwhile for us.

  Our family stayed here for 9 days over the holidays. We traveled from New York State to celebrate Christmas with our new granddaughter and her parents, and had an unbelievable vacation! This condo is spectacular plus the view is priceless! It was so, so nice waking up to the view of boats docked in the bay! It's quiet and has a nice beach right out the front door. The ocean is a mere block away to watch unforgettable sunsets! In the unit, there is plenty of room to sleep 6 comfortably, as well as 2 parking spaces & 2 bikes. It's clean and well decorated. The owners were wonderful, adding special holiday touches to make our stay more homey. If we need a place to stay in the future, this will be it! We hated to leave! It was one of the best family vacations we've taken in years! I would not hesitate to recommend this unit! You will not be disappointed!!

  We rented this condo for a Thursday thru Monday weekend to catch the Packers play the Chargers. The condo is absolutely beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. Everything you could possibly ask for in a vacation home. Close to numerous tourist sites and the view out of the patio was fabulous. We had 6 people spend the weekend and had visitors also. The condo had plenty of room to entertain. The owners are great to work with and respond very quickly to any questions asked. I would rent again without question! Wish we were going back next weekend!

  We had a wonderful family week at this condo. If you look at the pictures and the video, you will have no surprises. The beach area was really great for our 4 year old granddaughter. The two parking places were real important to have. The condo was well stocked, clean and comfortable. Susan was most helpful and very prompt in responding to questions. She even sent back the razor my son left! The view is awesome. Good vacation!

  Our family spent Easter week at the Mission Beach condo and had a fabulous time! The owners were easily reachable and communicated well with us during the entire process and were very responsive to our needs. The condo was clean, comfortable, location was excellent and all essentials were readily available. Thank you for the great visit!

  We very much enjoyed staying here. The condo was spacious, clean, quiet & had a well-stocked kitchen. Having 2 garage spaces is like hitting the jackpot! That's a rarity in Mission Beach area! Restaurant recommendations were also helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!
