Wonderful Spring Break Beach Retreat!

Guest: Scott (Pasadena)
Date of Stay: 03/31/12 Review Submitted: 04/23/12

Our family and another spent the better part of spring break here with 5 Adults and 5 Kinds (4-6). The location on the bay was great, quiet and safer for the kids. We could actually sit on the deck while they played on the grass and sand. The home feeld just like that, a home. very relaxed and comfortable. Plenty of stuff in the kitchen so you can actually cook.

Week stay - Presidents day weekend

Date of Stay: 02/15/12 Review Submitted: 02/29/12

Incredible home! Everything is great - from the quiet, serene location, to the home amenities. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which prevented hallway traffic and congestion. The 3 balconies were amazing - breath taking views of the sunrise that can be seen from any of the 3 balconies. The location perfect - being in a quiet setting, and only minutes of walking to the strip where everything can be found. The layout of the home maximized the space for all the household activities - enough room in the kitchen, plenty to eat at the large dining room table, and the family/living room that accommodated everyone without crowding. After spending a week of walking up and down the street and looking at other rental homes - we still decided we had rented the nicest looking home, and had a better location on the bay than any other available home. Looking forward to our return in the next few months and undoubtedly renting this home again!

Great property in the perfect beach location.

I would definitely recommend this property to anyone look for a great beach getaway in San Diego with family or friends. The property is well equipped with everything you would need. I love that each bedroom has it's own bathroom making traveling with others very easy. The location of the home is perfect and you are steps away from the ocean and can easily walk to shops and restaurants.

What a great home for vacation. Home is very well kept and very comfortable, just as described. Great location, nicely furnished, close to bay and ocean and quiet. Nice restaurants and bakery near-by. Enjoyed our morning coffee and evening snacks on any one of the 3 decks, with a beautiful view of the bay. Owner easy to contact and very helpful. Would look forward to staying here again. Thanks for letting us use your home.

The location of the home is amazing. Close to everything but just far away from the beachside mayhem. The home itself is quite sacious. 4 couples had plenty of room. The whole experience was wonderful. We will be back.

We came down to walk in the Susan G. Komen, 3 day walk for the cure. The house could not have been more ideally situated. It was the perfect home to come back to after our 20mile walk days. We could relax, ride a bike to dinner, and just enjoy.

Perfect for our family vacation

Guest: Deb (Fairview, Texas)
Date of Stay: 09/17/10 Review Submitted: 10/13/10

This was a lovely home for our family of 8 - it's convenient to the beach, walking to restaurants, and all the sightseeing you might want to do. The well appointed kitchen allowed us to prepare a few meals and maximize family time. Having 4 full bathrooms & 4 bedrooms provided everyone with the privacy they desired. The owner is so easy to work with and answers your email notes promptly.

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Guest: isaac (San Diego)
Date of Stay: 09/02/10 Review Submitted: 09/12/10

The home's location on the bayside water front is perfect - so peaceful and beautiful yet only a short walk from the hubbub and excitement of the Mission Beach boardwalk and Pacific Ocean. The location is also great for quick access to downtown, the Zoo, Balboa Park, La Jolla (all within a 15 minute drive), etc. The home itself is very spacious, comfortable and supplied with all of the house wares you need. My family would definitely choose this location and home again. Thank you Sally!

Mission beach vacation

Date of Stay: 08/07/10 Review Submitted: 08/20/10

Great home with easy access to the beach and walking distance to many places to eat and shop. Beautiful view of the bay and this allowed access for my 2 y/o to play in the water and grass in front of the property. We had 9 adults and we were all very comfortable.

Great Property for multiple couples

Guest: The No Kids Club (Alpharetta, GA)
Date of Stay: 05/12/10 Review Submitted: 05/20/10

This property is unique in that all 4 bedrooms have king or queen beds (compared to many rentals with only king in the master) so it is perfect for multiple couples traveling together. We loved the location of this condo and the layout. It is very quiet from room to room so privacy is never an issue. It is a quiet by the little bay but close to the lively Pacific and boardwalk. Lovely balconies from which to chill or grill! It's fun being able to see the fireworks from Sea World every night. The condo is well maintained and the owner answered all of our questions as first time VRBO renters. If I thought I'd be going back to San Diego, I would definitely rent here again and send my friends.

Fun Stay - Great Location

Date of Stay: 05/12/10 Review Submitted: 05/16/10

Three couples (55+) who used to be neighbors try to get together every year or so. We liked the photos and description of this condo so much we changed our vacation dates for its availability -- and were not disappointed. The location was ideal -- not only a gorgeous view of Mission Bay, but easy to get to from the airport, easy to navigate to and from to San Diego attractions, and quiet. It's everything the owner's description and photos show here. You can take quiet walks on the bay or more 'people' walks by the ocean. You can see the fireworks from Sea World every night from the decks and not get tired of them. Very satisfying places to walk to for breakfast (The Mission and Olives), lunch (The Mission) or dinner (Saskas). This was our first time renting as a group thru vrbo and the owner was very forthcoming in the description of the area, their rental history, and has a friendly and informative local contact. Would definitely recommend to others or return ourselves!

WE LOVE THIS HOUSE!

Guest: Lyd (Sarasota, FL)
Date of Stay: 04/28/10 Review Submitted: 05/09/11

If you are looking for a beach house that is close to EVERYTHING, yet you want privacy! You just found it! This vacation home is amazing, the master suite is HUGH, the master bath is out of a magazine, and the other 3 bedroom are bigger than normal bedrooms. The kitchen is very well equiped, and so is the rest of the house! !We had 6 adults and 4 young children in the house and we did not feel crowded at all. We all had our own bedroom, and we all had our own space. The children LOVED going out to the beach, and the best part... I can watch them from the living room with a glass of wine in hand!

Cup of Coffee and Perfection

Guest: bobstone (Minneapolis, MN)
Date of Stay: 04/16/10 Review Submitted: 04/22/10

My trip leaves me with the lasting image of Sunday morning in my mind. I woke up relatively early Sunday morning, poured myself a cup of coffee, and went out to the balcony at this gorgeous condo. This beachview condo has multiple balconies, one of which overlooks a little cove to the East, where you can watch the sun rise. I sat out there for a little over an hour, until my friend began insinuating that if we didn't leave soon, I was going to miss my flight. I contemplated the consequences before deciding it was probably time to stand up and actually leave this paradise. I think I could have sat there watching life unfold all day, without saying a word. After a weekend with great friends, great adventures, and one of the most picturesque views I can remember, I have a hard time contemplating a better experience. If you think paradise doesn't exist in America, go to Mission Beach in San Diego, crab a coffee, and enjoy perfection.

We did indeed have a wonderful time in this beautiful home. We were able to have our children, their wives and our grandchildren with us and enjoyed a great weekend together. We'll look forward to renting this home again. My husband ranked the weekend as one of his all time best! The location on Mission Bay couldn't have been nicer and with the boardwalk at the bottom of the steps, we took many wonderful walks and bike rides.

This home was a wonderful respite at the end of the day! Beautifully furnished in the living areas and perfect location for going anywhere in Mission or Pacific Beach. Walking distance to most everything. Best of all - there is parking RIGHT there in a GARAGE!!

Was very hesitant to rent a house site unseen for an upcoming conference which I knew business clients would be coming over to see. The house turned out to be perfect, and the experience and location was fantastic! House faces the bay side with a beautiful view of the marina, and the pacific ocean is a quick walk across the street. Transaction was simple, the house was great, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to take in mission beach!
