Location: Mission Bay, San Diego County, California, USA (On the East (Quiet) Side of Sail Bay) View Map
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
From sunrise to sunset (and all hours in between), you'll love this house and its quiet location on the east side of beautiful Sail Bay.
Enjoy your morning coffee or tea with a pelican or kayaker as the sun gently rises on this blissfully quiet beach, but don't forget you're in the middle of one of the most exciting beach towns in San Diego! Covering more than 4,000 acres, Mission Bay is the largest man-made aquatic park in the country. You can walk from the back yard out your private gate and directly access the boardwalk and the bay -- paddle, pedal or glide -- you just can't get any closer!
Take advantage of 19 miles of sandy beaches, 14 miles of bike paths, a network of channels, islands, coves and widlife preserves -- there are so many recreational activities that you could easily spend all your time at the bay without moving your car! Go for a leisurely stroll, hop on one of our bikes and pedal around, go rollerblading, jogging, kiteboarding...or test your skill building a giant sand castle without leaving home.
SeaWorld, Belmont Park's historic Rollercoaster, Crystal Pier and the shops, restaurants and nightlife of Pacific Beach and Mission Beach are all within easy reach.
Rent a motorboat, kayak or sailboat. Pedal to Mariner's Point, PerezCove, Stoney Point, Government Island or Fiesta Island to witness endangered birds like the California least tern and Belding's savannah sparrow. Have a picnic in your own backyard or walk to Crown Point for shooting hoops and playground swings. The hardest decision is what to do first.
Easy access to Highways 5 and 8 make it a breeze to get anywhere and everywhere else you'd like to go. The famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Gaslamp and Little Italy, Petco Park, Birch Aquarium, Legoland and the Wild Animal Park are barely 10 to 30 minute drives away.
But be forewarned -- time spent in front of the panoramic windows to the bay and the ocean turn into hours as the catamarans, sailboats and windsurfers fascinate you until the magnificent sunsets remind you it's time to turn up the grill for dinner.
With nearly 2000 sq. ft. that includes three bedrooms and two full baths, there's plenty of room for everyone, though you might fight over the extra sleeping accommodations on the veranda with a wall of windows to the bay. All new beds and linens will ensure a comfortable night's sleep for everyone. The great room boasts more than windows and views -- there's a large flat panel HDTV with all the channels you won't have time to watch, a DVD player and enough videos and board games to keep everyone busy after the sun goes down. (There's another TV in the master bedroom.) There's seating for eight at the dining room table, plus the family-sized kitchen is fully stocked and has another dining nook surrounded by windows to the bay. An oversized two car garage keeps your cars off the street, and includes a full size washer and dryer for your use.
Inside the private fenced yard is an outdoor shower, patio with grill, and oversized sand box to keep the kids safe and happy all the time. You'll also find a couple of beach cruiser bikes, boogie boards and beach toys for everyone. Everything from the beach towels to body wash is provided for your convenience.
Please note that this is NOT a "party house." Although directly on the bay, we ask that you respect the privacy of the neighborhood by refraining from unusually loud noise or behavior at all times. No smoking inside. No pets. This listing is new, so please call or email to check calendar availability and rates.

Why the Owner Chose Mission Bay
Beautiful, quiet, peaceful -- close in to everything, but a world away!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Morning coffee on the veranda watching the kayaks, sailboats, joggers...the Bay waking up! Afternoon drinks in the shade on the patio while the kids play in the sand, the yard, the beach. Evening dinner and/or drinks enjoying a breeze while watching the most amazing sunset...it just doesn't get any better than this!
Owner's Map of Mission Bay
We purchased our home not as a vacation rental, but as our retirement home because of its wonderful and peaceful location, and it's right on the beach! We haven't rented the house to vacationers in the past, but retirement is still a few years away, so we'd be happy to share our slice of heaven with you in the meantime.
