Mission Bay Hideaway - Sparkling New & Full of Amenities
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Mission Bay
Our Mission Bay Hideaway, in North Mission Bay, affords the vacationer all the best of the San Diego Beach and Bay atmosphere. Virtually everything is within a very short walking distance: the beach and bay with every conceivable water sport, marinas, bicycle paths, children’s playground, dozens of excellent restaurants and night clubs, lots of shops, a modern supermarket, internet café, local library, Post Office, Metro Bus Stop, and an amusement park and combination gym, indoor pool and wavehouse recreation facility. Most nights of the year, you can watch the evening fireworks from Sea World, a few miles away. Most other attractions in and around San Diego are just a short drive away.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Anyone who as stayed at rental with an absentee landlord knows the value of having him or her residing on the property. As resident landlords, we are available 24/7 if needed. We also try to anticipate every need before it arises. That's why we stock a canopy with lots of chairs for the beach, bicycles with combination locks, a kayak with life preservers, a cooler, hundreds of videos,lots of beach toys for all ages, and for the small ones, a high chair, porta-crib, car seat, small stroller, & shoulder baby carrier. The unit also has purified water at every tap, airbed for extra sleepers, a shopping cart for quick trips to the Ralphs supermarket, ceiling fans in every room for warmer days and a gas fireplace in the living room for cool nights. And that's all in addition to being steps away from both Mission Bay to the East and Mission Beach to the West.

Owner's Map of Mission Bay
Calina is a Native San Diegan, and Bill arrived in San Diego with the Navy in 1975. We married in 1977, and vowed to someday move to the Beach. We loved taking long walks on the bay or beach and watching gorgeous sunsets. We built our dream home in North Mission Beach in 2002 and built the first floor as an apartment for Calina’s parents. We made sure that Mom and Dad’s place had all the same modern conveniences as we had upstairs. When Mom and Dad decided to move further inland, we converted the apartment to a Vacation Rental. "Mission Bay Hideaway", is the newest, cleanest and nicest apartment in Mission Bay. Since then, we have had the pleasure of hosting hundreds of families, from all over the world, to enjoy wonderful vacations in Mom and Dad’s apartment. Bill & Calina, San Diego, CA

When I first came across this rental I was slightly hesitant about owners residing upstairs, you would never even know they were there, but they were available if you had a problem. Gave us an over veiw of where things were, how to operate garbage disposal etc and were gone. Unit is very clean & neat, close to everything. The photos in listing are very accurate, no suprises. What you see in photos is what you get. Only downside is parking is very tight, my husband decided to upgrade his car rental to a Lincoln town car...very tight to park, so if you can make do with a full size car like the size of an Impala or smaller you will be fine. . After long days of sight seeing it was a pleasure to come back here, grill some dinner, throw some clothes in the washer & sit outside & relax with a glass of wine. Oh that was a huge plus not to come home with a suitcase full of dirty clothes. This unit is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend to family & friends. I would not hesitate to rent again on my next visit.
Owner response:We loved having Rich & Kate stay at our Mission Bay Hideaway and hope that they hurry back really soon. Bill especially enjoyed reminiscing with Rich about their days in the Navy - both had been on aircraft carriers deployed to Vietnam in the late 60's. As for the parking - everyone in the beach areas in San Diego vie for each inch of parking space. The space on the side of our house for the rental is actually quite roomy when our neighbor remembers not to crowd us with his large van. This will automatically improve in the very near future since he's in the process of selling the van and moving back east. We also have an arrangement with our neighbor, Hank, 2 doors down, on the corner lot, to swap parking spaces with our tenants, and let them use his large parking space when they have a large vehicle that needs extra room.

Very clean,there's nothing that we can say we didn't like

Perfect for my wife and two kids, near all the spots that you want to go to in San Diego,and the price is the best. The owners are very acomodating,they are there to help you with all your needs,the parking wont be a problem,you'll get the hang of it. Mission bay is beautiful and fun to explore. This property has everything that you need and more.
Owner response:We enjoyed hosting Rodolfo & his family and hope they hurry back. We were able to provide them 2 car seats, a stroller, and high chair for their two little ones, and had a porta crib available if they chose to use it. They were also able to use these items for a side trip to Disneyland over a weekend. It gives us a warm feeling to be able to help our tenants save time & money by not having to transport these items.

We stayed here in mid September with our two kids ages 2 and 4. The location is outstanding because it is right next to Mission Bay and across the street from Mission Beach. It is also a great location for going to the zoo, SeaWorld and Legoland. The apartment itself was perfect for our little family. The owners are more than accommodating and welcoming to make the stay wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend time in San Diego and can't wait to go back and visit beautiful San Diego.
Owner response:We greatly appreciate these kind words and hope that Celeste & Family hurry back to our Mission Bay Hideaway. Over the years we have added several items for small children, such as portacrib, high chair, stroller, car seat, baby bjorn, & side rail for bed. We also have a small child's bike. These items come in handy for our young family visitors and save them some on airline fees.

This place worked out very good for us; five adults - mom and dad and 3 adult children. Bill is around to help if you need him, but he leaves you alone for your privacy. We will definitely come back if we need to go to San Diego again.
Owner response:We felt privileged to have Chuck, Rosemary & their family stay in our Mission Bay Hideaway. It was especially great for Bill, as an old Navy retiree, to meet and share experiences with their son, who was on leave from the aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln, just back fom the Persian Gulf. It brought back memories of his days on the carrier, Shangri-La, during the Vietnam war. We look forward to having the whole family back sometime very soon. Sincerely, Bill & Calina

Our family had a great time staying at the Mission Bay Hideaway, it was so close to everything and you pretty much had the ocean at your door. I'm so glad we also had access to the bay because the weather was not great, but we could still take the kids to the beach and out of the wind. It was pretty quiet and nice and clean. The only down side for our family was that it is not to appropriate for a baby who has just started crawling with all the ceramic tile and an updated high chair would have been better. The listing description is pretty accurate-the beds are very comfortable. One tip I would give anyone staying here make sure you get a mid to small size rental car, we got a 7 seater Jeep and it was a VERY tight squeeze.
Owner response:We truly enjoyed having Colleen and her family stay at our Mission Bay Hideaway. It's always great to see our visitors enjoy themselves in Mission Bay and take advantage of all the fun things to do in San Diego. Regarding the parking, a mid-size car is recommended; and if a larger car is needed, we have worked out an arrangement with our neighbor to use his large space in exchange for our side-of-the-house space.

Our family which included 2 small boys aged 3 and 4 years stayed at the Mission Bay Hideway for one week in January, 2009. Bill and Calina were excellent hosts. They were very friendly and helpful. The aprtment is very well laid out, comfortable, and a great place to stay. It is steps in either direction to the Bay or the Ocean and very close to Sea World and the sights and sounds of San Diego. Our children did not want to leave when we had to go and refer to it as our San Diego home. Will will go back again and highly recommend the Mission Bay Hideaway for anyone looking to stay in the San Diego area. Bob, Catherine, Ben, and Graham

Ten Fabulous Days At Mission Bay Hideaway

We spent ten fabulous days with our son, his wife, and their 16-month son at Mission Bay Hideaway at the end of May 2009. Everything was perfect - -Location - one minute away from the sand but very quiet -The beautifully decorated house spacious enough for 4 adults and a baby -Firm and very comfortable mattresses -Fully-equipped kitchen -Fast and stable wireless internet connection -TV channel selection beyond any imagination -Proximity to Sea World (which allowed us to take a break for a nap in the middle of the day and return back for evening shows) But most useful and impressive was the spectacular yard - while we were cooking, preparing for the beach or daily trips, our toddler was safe there enjoying the fountain, flowers, and lots of toys. We are looking forward to returning to Bill's and Calina's place soon.

We spent a week in July in Bill and Calina's Mission Bay Hideaway. What a perfect house for our family. We have 2 adults and 2 boys ages 15 and 10 who loved fishing on the bay and boogie boarding at the beach. Bill and Calina were so welcoming and made us feel like we were right at home. We loved everything about this place!! We have already made plans to return next year!!!
