Location: Other San Diego Properties, San Diego, San Diego County, California, USA (1 mile to SeaWorld- Quiet Upscale Neighborhood on Sail Bay) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
Reduced Summer Pricing. Save Today - Book Now! 180 degree unobstructed views like this are hard to come by. Imagine yourself sitting at the waterfront dining table or on the balcony watching the action below on Sail Bay; water-skiers, catamarans, sail boats, outrigger canoe teams, kite-surfing. Or go down the elevator to join the people strolling on the boardwalk or ride my four provided beach cruiser bikes on miles and miles of paths along the bay and oceanfront.
Sip wine on the balcony as you watch the sunset over the ocean or walk around the bay 8-10 minutes to the ocean to watch for the "green flash." At night you will see the two big paddle-wheel boats cruise right by your window, the lights of the strand across the bay and the moonlight reflecting off the water.
This Non-Smoking large (900 sq ft) 1 bedroom condo also features a guest Queen Murphy bed that pulls down from the wall right in front of the sliding glass doors and you have the sensation that you are sleeping over the water. You wake up to the most incredible changing colors on the bay. There is also a new queen sofabed.
Pelicans sitting on the buoys and egrets standing on the shore. Open the triple panel sliding glass door all the way and you will feel like you are dining outside over the water.
Professionally decorated in the colors of the extensive shell collection displayed on specially lit shelves, cabinets, and in dining table. Fabulous adjustable lighting lets you have as much or as little light as you want. Gas-log fireplace turns on in an instant. This is a very romantic place!
I have a large plasma TV, DVD and docking station for your ipod, as well as games, puzzles and books. (There is also a single Hide-a-Mat, toddler bed, Pack-n-Play, high chair, etc. available.)
PS Weddings or Family Reunions? Rent up to 10 condos in this 22 unit building (2 and 3 bdrms also). If this one is full, one of the other identical units in this building or my other 30 units close by may be available so write me anyway and I'm sure I can help you.

Just a few steps from the water’s edge
VRBO Bear stayed here - 07/30/2009 Greetings from sunny San Diego, California! I was looking for a great place to stay and had a lovely time at Nancy’s Mission Bay condo.
This property couldn’t have been in a better location. It overlooks beautiful Sail Bay and is situated right on the sand—just a few steps from the water’s edge. The views from the large condo windows facing the beautiful Bay were simply amazing! When the slider doors were fully open (up to 8 feet!), I felt like I was right outside on the water. This was especially enjoyable in the evenings after catching the sunset.
There’s so much to do on the Bay and the condo was only a short walk to the ocean! I especially had fun riding around the Bay bike paths with the bicycles Nancy provided. Plus, there were beach chairs, sand toys, a beach umbrella and beach towels for use during my stay. The Bay was perfect for swimming, sun bathing and for play. Who wouldn’t love to relax in front of the fire place, watch multiple flat screen TVs or enjoy the use of the Wi-Fi after a day of fun?
With all the conveniences of home and many added luxuries, I had such a lovely vacation staying in Nancy’s condo. You would be missing out if you didn’t visit Mission Bay, and specifically this condo right off Sail Bay. If this one is already booked, you’ll be sure to enjoy professional, quality service when you stay at one of Nancy’s many other properties!

Why the Owner Chose Other San Diego Properties
We live in a historic gold rush town in the mountains NE of San Diego and needed a second home closer to the airport. We bought this condo on beautiful Sail Bay and used it for 11 years before I retired from the airlines. I started renting it out as a vacation rental and now my "retirement" and first vacation rental has turned into a vacation rental business with 36 rentals, 10 of which are in this same fabulous building,Riviera Villas! This quiet upscale bayfront area is the perfect convenient and scenic location for visiting San Diego!
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We love riding bikes on the boardwalk, walking to some of the great restaurants over on the ocean or the plethora of ethnic restaurants on Garnet Ave. We often stay in one of the condos we manage when we are attending plays or concerts in town. Best of all, we never tire of the changing bay view from the still, soft colors of early morning with the UCSD ladies rowing club practicing in their long outrigger canoes to the sail boat races in the afternoon to the brilliant sunsets in the evening and the paddle wheel boats all lit up at night cruising the bay. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone about this secret location, the best in San Diego!!!
A very nice young children's playground right on the bay with clean restrooms, water fountains, showers, grassy areas, sand and lots of play equipment with rubber mats below.
The two best grocery stores in town. Henry's is like a Wild Oats or Whole Foods. Trader Joe's has interesting and delicious gourmet and ethnic food and inexpensive wine. A must see!
Historical wooden roller coaster and Olympic-size indoor pool built in 1925. Lots of rides from carousels to ones that will make your hair stand on end. Eat lunch at The WAVE and watch the surfers and
Catch the Bahia Bell paddle-wheel boat at the Catamaran dock and cruise around Mission Bay with live music...for the cost of a drink.
A three mile boardwalk for strolling or riding beach cruiser bikes provided free of charge from NancysVacationRentals for our guests. Lots of restaurants along the beach in this area, a 10 minute walk
Sail Bay is the western-most section of Mission Bay, a 4000 acre Aquatic Park, and there is a 3.75 mile boardwalk around this part of it for strolling and riding beach cruiser bikes provided free of c
