Before you book another Property on Mission Beach you should ask these questions.
Is the Property in the front of the building directly on the boardwalk?
Does the property have a 14ft wide window right on the beach?
Does the property have Ocean Views from the Livingroom, Kitchen, Both Bedrooms, and One of the 2 bathrooms, and privacy glass on the bedrooms?
Does the property have a private patio with high end outdoor furniture right on the boardwalk/beach?
Does the property have a 9ft wide remote controlled movie screen/shade that you can watch TV/Movies in High Definition from the living room and Master bedroom?
Can you lie on the pillowtop bed in the Master bedroom and have a full view of the boardwalk and waves and still have complete privacy with the special reflective 8ft wide glass on the bedroom wall?
If the answer is no to any of these questions than you are settling for a lower quality vacation.
The "SurfRider" is the most visually stunning condo building on Mission Beach. It features the only jacuzzi right on the boardwalk. This property is the best in the building, one of only two, out of eleven in the building, that is right on the boardwalk on the ground-floor. No stairs, No hassle, Perfect!! A complete remodel finished November 2004 has put this building on a higher plane than other Oceanfront buildings. On the outside you'll notice the copper roof, stainless steel,glass,slate, and stucco in this form make a phenomenal architectural statement. Once Inside, floor to ceiling windows with direct ocean views from the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom will captivate you. You might also notice the 42" LCD HDTV, top notch stainless steel fridge, range/oven, dishwasher, microwave, and sheet granite counter tops. What really sets this place off though are the waves crashing into your front yard/beach, viewed from your private patio. The view is just as entertaining from the living room with the 14ft wide window, or while lying in bed in the master bedroom. My personal favorite is lying in bed at night watching a movie on the High Definition 100" Projector TV, then raising the projector screen/shade in the morning via remote control. Once again the waves are crashing into the bedroom and the boardwalk traffic is passing by, but no one can see you with the one way glass in the bedroom, NICE!

Why the Owner Chose Mission Beach
After traveling the world there is no place that has this combination of Fun, Sun, Surf, people watching, dining, entertainment, nightlife and overall great weather like San Diego. With mission beach being the best of the best.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The waves literally crash right in front of you. So watching the dolphins, surfers, pelicans diving, and people watching is superb. All from the couch, or any other room in the Condo.
Famous Crystal Pier! The extension of Garnet Street which is the Main Drag of Pacific Beach with many shops,restaurants and Bars!

Where do I start. Brett was professional during the entire process of renting the unit and everything he promised went exactly as planned. For the unit itself, the pictures do not do it justice. To start with, it is one of the few rentals that will accommodate my Expedition in the parking space with out taking off the outside mirror’s. Inside, the place is even more gorgeous then the pictures. The slate floors, granite counters and stainless appliances make this seem like a luxury house. The place is well equipped and all of our needs were filled. The grounds of the complex are kept immaculate by the grounds crew who clean every morning. The view from the master bedroom/family room/patio cannot be beat. During our stay all of the other residents we met were friendly and courteous and having just as much fun as we were. I have stayed in other rental properties on Mission Beach but this out shines them by far. I would highly recommend this property to anyone planning a vacation to San Diego. The Long Family
Owner response:Thanks to all in the Long family for respecting the property, and for this gracious comment. Of course, you are welcome back anytime. Brett

The views from the master bedroom and living room are amazing! I loved the location as we were in the middle of the action and could easily walk to the surrounding shops and restaurants. Large patio facing the beach expanded the living space making this condo extra special. Hot tub is one of a kind on the boardwalk and the tv is connected to a projector for an alternative movie style experience! Very cool! Thanks Brett!
Owner response:Thanks Shawna for the great review. It is always nice when people appreciate the details that make this property unique. Isn't it great to relax in the hot tub with such a great panoramic view of the ocean, beach and boardwalk? I hope you enjoyed watching the dolphins, pelicans and other seabirds diving, and the surfers while relaxing in the Master bedroom and living room. I personally love the privacy while enjoying the view from the Master bedroom. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the 100" high definition projection tv. Please come back soon! Brett

Having enjoyed the Surfrider for over 45 years with family and friends, each year keeps getting better and better. Our kids were worried our favorite family vacation spot would not be available after having been completely renovated several years ago. Thank goodness owners like Brett have welcomed visitors to the Surfrider as it is without a doubt the nicest accommodation on the boardwalk. We have been fortunate to stay in Brett's unit for the past three years and can't wait to arrive for our fourth. Brett has been a pleasure to work with and has always had the unit in excellent condition for our arrival. The amenities are second to none and the views out the front windows will leave you thinking of how beautiful Mission Beach is long after you have departed for home.
Owner response:Wow what a nice review Bryan! Thanks for the kind words. I hope you and your family will continue this great tradition. Mission beach is pretty hard to beat and your comments explain why quite nicely. Have another great vacation! Brett

Just stayed there for 5 nights and it was terrific. The view (and one-way glass) was awesome. Having a high quality matress was also nice as well as the hot tub. We'll be back.
Owner response:Thanks Steve! I am happy that you appreciate the Ocean view from every room and the one way glass (exclusive to this unit) as much as I do. I hope you enjoyed the HD projector 100 inch screen viewing as well. The overall combination of features,view and location is pretty hard to beat isn't it. Please come back anytime! Brett

Brett, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful condo with us. We had a great time, and found it just the perfect spot. Our sons loved the location, the hot tub, and the electronic system. We loved the privacy of the master, with a view of the ocean. We are considering a return trip this summer. Also, we appreciate your picking us up and taking us to the right address. Jeri Nowakowski
Owner response:Thanks Jeri for making such gracious comments. I will look forward to your return. Happy Holidays! Brett

Great View Great Location at Surfrider

Review Submitted: 05/21/09
Visited first week of May 2009. This was our first trip to San Deigo and enjoyed very much. This property had a great view, in a very good location and in good shape. The owner Brett was great to work with and very helpful. The condo is located about in the middle of the island with the ocean right in front of you and the bay only one block over. There is covered parking is within a few feet of your condo door. There is a large grocery store about a quarter mile down the road and a small individual store with neccessities, right across the street. Your only about 10 to 15 mins. from the airport and downtown San Deigo Bay. There is lots to see and do in all directions and within 10 mins to an hour drive. Should you wish to just stay around the condo, it's relaxing to just sit back and listen to the waves, watch the surfers and it's entertaining to just watch the people going up and down the walkway. Or, you can walk, skate, skateboard or ride a bike on the walkway the whole length of the island. Come back and grill out, watch the sun set, then sit in the hot tub. Depending on the temperature, it's neat to sit on the patio with the fireplace going. There were not a lot of units rented while we were there, so it was kind of like having our own private place.

Just want to thank Brett for a wonderful, long needed vacation. We were totally content to sit by the fire and watch the interesting characters roll by! Had two 15 year old girls that were completely entertained by cruising and posing at the beach. Never had any desire to leave except to ride bikes and fetch burritos! Beautiful condo with great amenities! Hope to visit again in the very near future! Thanks!
Owner response:Hello to the Martens! I hope you will come again soon. We will all go to Romero's for some Carne Asada. Muy Bueno! Sincerely, Brett Gilner

We stayed in this unit from Feb 18 to 22 2009 and had the time of our lives. This is the first accommodation we have stayed in where the actual place was better than the pictures.Also hats off to Robert the caretaker of the property. We can hardly wait to go back as we plan to make this our home away from home while in San Diego. Thanks for everything Brett The Johnson Family Moose Jaw Saskatchewan Canada

Our surfrider stay was amazing. Perfect location, layout, and amenities! Brett provided excellent customer service and made our stay that much more appealing! I have already recommended this place to friends & family! The unit is steps away from the beach. Can't beat it! Look forward to going back soon!

Our time aat the Surfrider was wonderful, the Condo had everything and more. Lots of fun things like a beautiful "big" screen TV. Lovely patio and wonderful large one way windows to watch the people strolling, skating and riding down the boardwalk. It was a great 4 nights for all of us. Brett was there to greet us and there when we got ready to leave, which was very much appreciated. Sincerely, Dick & Judy Wakeman
Owner response:I love your comments. Thank you Dick & Judy! Please come back anytime!
