Adorable Beach Getaway!

My fiance and I stayed at this very nicely furnished apartment and had a wonderful time. It was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities one could hope for. Bikes, chairs, boogie boards and towels were all provided. Even a cooler to take to the beach! We barbequed on our private deck and just enjoyed the ocean air. The owners, Martha and Larry, could not have been friendlier. They suggested great breakfast places within walking distance and even gave us a coupon for 1/2 off. We will definitely stay here again the next time we travel to San Diego.

Update on construction next door

As owners of this property, we were aghast that our guests from Alpine did not enjoy their stay in our apartment. We wish they had expressed their concerns while they were staying in our apartment but the first we found out about their disappointing vacation was when they posted their complaints here. Our new next-door neighbors did undertake extensive refurbishing projects on their house when they moved in. Windows needed to be replaced, roof and skylights needed repair and the structure needed a new paint job. The house is a large, three-story structure and scaffolding was needed to complete the projects and did encroach on our property. Unfortunately, the project took longer than anticipated and a few of our renters were inconvenienced but we didn't receive any complaints and most of our renters said the construction did not impact their vacation in the least. Our new neighbors are a lovely, retired couple who live in the house year round and have completed all exterior refubishing to their house and we do not anticipate any further major construction in our vincinity. We hope potential renters will read past this first review and spend some time reading the reviews from other renters (most of which are repeat guests year after year). We have been renting our apartment since 2005 and have never received a complaint. We pride ourselves on maintaining a quality property and doing everything possible to ensure our guests have an enjoyable vacation.

A little disappointing for us

First let me say that Larry and Martha are delightful people. We booked thier apt. last minute in an effort for our family to destress after having just been through a wildfire and evacuation where we live in AZ. When we arrived to find we would be staying in a construction zone we were not pleased. The scaffolding we had to manuever made it a challenge to even get to our apt. The apt was clean and cute, but the planes that flew overhead from 6am to 11pm and the constant pounding and cell phone conversations of the construction workers made the daily naps we had invisioned, impossible. There was also the 3 am comotion of someone coming home and chatting outside our window several nights while we were there that made a good nights sleep non-existent. We often fled to the beach just for some peace. The WI-FI was also out for several days, adding to our stress since there were class assignment to be turned in via the internet. Rather than just asking the neighbor impeding on our vacation with his construction for a password to his WIFI, we were required to hike several blocks to a cafe, buy a drink, and use theirs-which may or may not be working. The outdoor space of the apt shown in the photos was not pleasant. It is on the alley not the courtyard so you get to look at garbage cans and cars, rather than the cute quiet courtyard. Overall our stay in the apt was stressful and not very pleasant, thankfully the beach and the boardwalk was. We realize that Larry and Martha did not have control over many of the unpleasent things we encountered, however we felt that we should have been informed that we were paying prime season rates to stay in a construction zone so that we could have selected another location. We were left feeling stressed and a little ripped off, rather than relaxed and joyful as we had envisoned- and was so badly needed for our family.

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of this little beach apartment in Mission Beach. The front room contains the fold-out couch, an HD TV with cable, Internet, and a DVD player. There are many helpful guides on what to do in Mission Beach and San Diego. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, and even some cooking material. There is a dishwasher, coffee maker, and microwave, as well as the basics - fridge & stove. The granite countertops are a nice touch. We cooked dinner for about 5 nights in a 7 night stay, so this worked out well. The bathroom appears to have be refurbished lately, and is nice. The bedroom has a decent size closet to store our clothes, and contains a double-bed. The deck is small, but nice to sit outside, although there is not much of a view. However, the Sea World fireworks every night at 10pm are clearly visible from the deck, so every night, we enjoyed the firework show from the comfort of our rental unit. There is a parking spot which is absolutely essential in any portion of Mission Beach. Without one, you will most likely have to walk pretty far to get your car. The location is a few blocks south of the Roller Coaster, and provides enough separation from the crowds in that area, but is close enough to walk to that area. The location South of the Roller Coaster also means that there is lighter traffic that you would get if the location was between Pacific and Mission Beach, almost none. Plus, the property is located on the beach side of Mission Blvd, so you are very close to the beach. The Beachcomber and the Pennant are a few blocks away, as well as some small grocery stores. For a big grocery store, you have to drive up to Pacific Beach to Ralph's, but the nice thing is that the owners provide a loyalty card to get the discounts. Overall, a very enjoyable stay, a well-kept property, and good location for a relaxing beach vacation. The owners, Larry & Martha, are very friendly and welcoming, and have provided for all of our needs. We hope to stay again.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time at this rental for a four night, San Diego beach getaway this past May. The apartment is located within close and convenient walking distance to Mission Beach on the ocean side and Mission Bay on the bay side. We especially enjoyed taking advantage of the boogie boards included with the rental to head out into the surf. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in Mission Beach that are close by the apartment, either on foot or by a very short drive, plus Sea World and Belmont Park are right nearby. The apartment was clean, attractive, and well taken care of, and the owners were helpful with anything that was needed. I could definitely recommend a stay here to enjoy Mission Beach and San Diego.

This 1 bedroom apartment was absolutely adorable! I couldn't have been more pleased! It was well kept, very clean, and 100 times better than staying in a hotel room (full kitchen!). The beach was within walking distance, only 1-2 minutes walk and shopping & dining were only a quick bike ride away. Towels (even beach towels!) and beach toys were provided for us as well as a parking spot. I will absolutely recommend this place for a relaxing beach getaway... It is so nice to have found a place that we can count on for a comfy beach vacation!

Fantastic "beach cottage"

I have stayed at this beach cottage at least 4 or more times over the past 2 years. It is the cleanest, nicest beach cottage in South Mission. While not large, it is perfect for a couple or family with 1-2 children. The owners are very friendly and accommodating...this is the closest I've felt to "at home" while renting someone else's place.

This is quite simply the most home like home away from home you will ever find in South Mission Beach. My wife and I come to S.D. a lot (usually 5-6 trips a year) and have stayed any numerous places but none as many times as we have stayed here. This condo/apartment is clean, quiet, close to the ocean (and my favorite coffee shop) and it looks better in person than the pictures did online. The owners have been more than friendly and very accommodating. I have probably referred this property to at least 10 different people in the past 2 years and I will continue to do so.

We love going to Mission Beach and staying at this clean and well maintained unit. It has everything you could ever want to make your stay comfortable and is in a great location. You'll be inspired to take walks along the beach or over to the bay. The kitchen is fully equipped but you'll want to try the many restaurants and bars that are close by. Just pack your bag and enjoy!!
