  • We just returned from staying at Steve and Susan's condo in Mission Beach and we cannot say enough positive about our experience. The condo was very clean, very comfortable, was in a great location and worked well for us and our teenage/young adult children. In addition to the condo, we really appreciated the parking space and the extra amenities that the owners provided. We highly recommend the McArthur penthouse for able bodied people who want a great place to stay. (The stairs could be a problem for elderly people or people with disabilities).

  • Our family stayed during the last week in April, 2009. We had an absolutely fantastic time. The weather cooperated,the beaches were beautiful. We parked the car and explored on foot. The Condo had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The owners went out of ther way to make us feel welcome and to provide all the necessities and much more. Thank you Steve & Susan, we'll be in touch soon to make plans for next year.

  • We stayed at this condo for a week in June 2008. As a matter of fact, we have just returned home. This is a fantastic place to stay. You won't lack for any needed items as the owners have filled the home with little extras like batteries (should yours run out as ours did at an inopportune time!) and every kitchen gadget you could possibly need. Parking was tight but adequate and much appreciated as it looks as if that is a premium.(We drove a Toyota Highlander if that helps) This condo is convenient to EVERYTHING and the location is gorgeous. TONS of fun things to do. I wasn't sure about staying on the bayside as we usually like to view the ocean, but the view was so surreal and calming. I never tired of just sitting on the balconyh and looking at all the different landmarks. We were even able to view a fireworks display each night from our balcony that Sea World does across the bay!! It was something we looked forward to each night after a long day of touring. If you are fortunate enough to reserve this condo, you won't be disappointed. What a great place for a great price. Many thanks to Steve and Susan for opening their home to us. It was by far the best vacation our family has ever experienced. If we ever return to the San Diego area (from South Carolina) we will be sure to try and stay here again. There are no negatives to this condo. Even the 3 floors climb on the stairs was easily managed and the view was indeed worth it!!!

  • My family and I stayed at the Bayside Condo in Feb 2006. The condo acted as a common meeting place for our friends and family that traveled from out of town for my brothers wedding. When I was searching for accommodations that would suit our needs there were several that made it to the elimination round, but my mind was made up after speaking to Jeff. His hospitality came shining through phone. To say the least we had a FANTASTIC time. The condo was perfect!! Clean, well furnished, very comfortable, and having a kitchen with unexpected amenities was outstanding. I've stayed in condos that didn't have salt and pepper, so I (we) really appreciated the kitchen and laundry items that you just don't throw in your suit case when traveling 3,000 miles. Jeff and Dawn, thanks for allowing us to stay in your home away from home.

  • We had a great time in your condo Jeff & Dawn. We took our 2 daughters and their families - 4 grandchildren ranging in ages of 6 - 20. We did the tourist things - Sea World, Zoo, Lego Land, Wild Animal Park & toured the Midway, and the grandkids couldn't wait to get back to the condo so they could play on the beach and go to the ocean. It was so convenient and we were thrilled with the beach equipment we were able to use. Viewing the Sea World fireworks from the front balcony became a nightly occasion. Having a BBQ and washer and dryer available to us were great. Thanks so much - our family vacation was wonderful.

  • Thanks for sharing your wonderful condo with us. I took my 2 daughters and their families (5 grandchildren) and we had a great time. There was plenty of room for all and the kids enjoyed the easy access to the bay and the ocean. The views are fabulous and everything we needed was in walking distance (which is good because parking is difficult everywhere). The kids really enjoyed the boogy boards provided and we all had a great time. Thanks!

    Glad you had a good time. July is a very busy time at the beach, having 2 parking spaces really helps. Jeff and Dawn

  • We absolutely loved this condo. The location was just perfect. The bay is right outside your door and is very peaceful. If you want the activity of the beach, it is really just a blocks walk. I felt very safe here. There are many permanent residents in the neighborhood. They help to keep an eye on things. Our kids were even able to walk (alone) the 2 short blocks to the store to get ice cream at the full fledged market. The same distance also offers a couple of nice neighborly places for cocktails. And, we were just far enough away from Belmont Park to enjoy all the activities. It was also fantastic to be able to bring our dog. She really enjoyed her daily walks on the bay. My only negative comment would be that the stairs get a little exhausting at times but, it is good exercise for everyone. I would highly recommend this condo to everyone.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks for staying, and the great comments about the condo. The location of our building is the best in Mission Beach, and the third level penthouse views are unequaled. Our repeat guests agree that the few steps to this third level Penthouse are well worth it. FYI, only a few buildings in Mission Beach have third floors (and thus, the spectacular views), as they are no longer permitted with new construction. Jeff Kelley

  • We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful condo. It was better than expected. The pictures do not do it justice. The location is perfect because it's out of the really heavy traffic area and noise. Penthouse , so the views are fantastic . This condo was extremely clean and very well appointed. Nice decorating. Close to some of the best restaurants and shopping. Close to the Spa. We highly recommend this condo and you can't find a more accommodating owner. Thanks... The wild Angels

  • We enjoyed our May stay at the Batiki condo. The location is pretty close to ideal, especially for families. The condo fronts directly on a quiet, sandy beach, which we had to ourselves during our entire stay. It's perfect for relaxing and for children to go into the calm Bay water. Just 3 blocks away (an easy, safe, flat walk) is the oceanfront, should you want waves and a busier beach. We walked 4 blocks to a shop and rented wetsuits and surfboards, then walked just 1 block further for fun surfing. Maybe a half-mile south (another easy, flat, and pleasant walk along the beach) is a grassy park with playground equipment. The condo itself had everything we needed. It is even more spacious than indicated by the website photos. Best of all, Jeff (the owner) was a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Jeff and Dawn, for a great vacation. We'll be back!
