Kennebeck Ct. Beach House W/ Opt. Guest Apartment
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Mission Beach
We rented this house for nine summer vacations, starting when our twins were only one. We love this house and always called it "our beach house" even before we owned it. My husband compared every other beach house to this one. One summer we we arrived to find "our beach house" was For Sale ! We looked at every other house for sale on Mission Beach to make sure we weren't missing anything, and then we bought it. It is a dream come true to own this house and we are very thankful for all the fun times it has provided us, with friends and especially our family. We look forward to spending many happy years with our children and eventually their children in this special place.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our house is amazing. There are three levels so there's plenty of space for everyone & lots of outdoor spaces. Only two house between us and the water- close enough that you don't even mind running back to make lunch or use the bathroom. The sound of the ocean and the views are great. Kennebeck is a great court and because we are six blocks north of the roller coaster, our section of the beach is less crowded than many others. But we're still close enough to walk or bike to everything on Mission and Pacific Beach.
Ride the Giant Dipper or the Merry Go Round. Lots of family things to do. Lots of restaurants, too.
Ladies day out! Had too much sun? go antiquing and have lunch in Ocean Beach on Newport Avenue. Short drive away.
Owner's Map of Mission Beach

Wonderful Family Reunion Vacation Home

This gorgeous home was our base for a family vacation. It was our first trip to San Diego and it won't be our last! Everything was even nicer than we had hoped, including the weather; we didn't expect to be lounging on the beach in January! The house comfortably accommodated eight adults and four little ones. One of our sons is an accomplished cook and was very impressed with the kitchen and the equipment provided. The location on Mission Beach is so great for walking, we seldom needed a vehicle. Nancy, the owner, was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this vacation home.

We have stayed at this rental on several different trips to San Diego. We have enjoyed it with our teenage boys and also, just a getaway for my husband and I. It's a lovely place to stay, close to the beach, great for walking, running, bike riding, etc. Not far for sightseeing expeditions and fun events for the children. It's full of up to date amenities, but that great "quaint" family feel (Oh so comfortable!) Plenty of room for everyone. We would recommend this property to anyone visiting San Diego for the first time or if you go regularly. So I guess that just about covers everyone! Can't wait to stay there again!

Mom's birthday get-away

Perfect place for a family gathering - Mom and her 5 adult daughters. House is beautiful and has plenty of space for gathering together both inside and out, while still being able to have a bit of privacy. Plenty of places to sleep and bathrooms enough for 6 women. The house was spotless and had absolutely everything you could want. We took full advantage of the great kitchen, games and books, laundry, tv and music system, and of course used every towel in the house and the beach toys. The location is ideal! Literally steps from the beach and boardwalk. Down the boardwalk either direction are multiple places to eat and shop. We walked to dinner every night, using Nancy the owner's suggestion list extensively. Perfect central location to explore beyond Mission Beach - La Jolla, downtown, the Zoo, Sea World, and Coronado are all a short drive away. Easy on and off the freeways and to and from the airport. The parking spot on the street is much easier to use than the garage if you have a larger vehicle. If you only have one vehicle I would suggest not even bothering to try the garage parking at all, it's just a pretty tight squeeze. The welcome package we received prior to arriving contained all the info we could possibly use. Nancy was fantastic and responsive to any concerns we had, even arranging an extra night's stay at the last minute. Would totally recommend this place! I live in Phoenix and will do just that. Especially good for a large group or family, however the stairs and stone floors may be an issue for smaller kids.

This is an exceptional beach property! The house was clean, well appointed, and has a terrific floorplan for entertaining, and enough nooks for getting away from the other guests that you otherwise love! The great location offers the best of all worlds for a family vacation-a short walking distance to shops and restaurants, with the beach, the boardwalk, and related activities nearby for the kids. The house is also off the beaten path enough for some peace and quiet. You won't be disappointed! Tim and Charlotte La Canada, CA

My extended family had a fabulous time staying here for a week in mid-June. Although June Gloom was expected, my kids enjoyed playing in the waves almost everyday, and I enjoyed watching them. It was great to use the provided beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and boogie boards. There was plenty of room for us all to hang out when we returned. The 3 bathrooms came in real handy when we all wanted to shower up. Even with the 10 of us staying there, I never experienced a drop in water temperature or pressure. The rooms were all very clean, but not so perfect that you couldn't relax. Loved the slipcovers on the sofas. The kitchen had everything we needed - even big bowls and serving platters. Nancy was very helpful and very efficient. We hope to one day come back to stay again. Great Experience Overall!

This home was perfect for our family getaway. It is in a perfect location and steps away from Mission Beach. There were 6 in our party including our 2 year old granddaughter. There was plenty of room for all of us. The house is well equipped including items for toddlers. The home was clean and comfortable. The TV was an added bonus for March Madness. We really didn't want to leave. We look forward to renting from Nancy again.

This property was great! I felt like we had our own home by the beach. Nancey has made sure everything you could need or want is at the house. We spent our days at the beach and our nights on the patio, deck or in front of the fireplace. We had a party of 6 and never felt crowded. I will make sure to rent this home away from home again and again. The Barnetts

My family of 12 rented both the Big House and the Doll House and it was perfect. The attention to detail was amazing. I had packed things like paper products, soaps, etc. and was so surprised that EVERYTHING you could imagine was at our fingertips. The house is large and yet allows there to be privacy. There are a lot of stairs, but do able for someone how is in poor health. We would go back over and over without a second thought. Nancy was wonderful to work with on dates and availability. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful family home with us. Ann LaPado

Wonderful Beach Retreat

This Mission Beach home is a great retreat. Exceptionally well outfitted! We were there for a girls reunion and did alot of cooking. The kitchen had everything we needed and is well equipped for large groups. Beach chairs, towells, boogie boards ect are all there so it was nice not to have to drag all of that from AZ. Two beautiful patios and a roof deck . . it was hard to decide where to adjourn for morning coffee or evening cocktail. Cable and internet provided for the few times we hung out inside- in fact two girls needed to work and chose the rooftop deck as their vacation "office" with their laptops. Tough duty! The lockbox setup worked very well. The beach is only about an 8 iron away so easy for our group to run back and forth without the hassle of house keys. Overall, this will be our choice for future visits to San Diego!
