Amazing Location, Beautiful Condo

We brought our 2 children to San Diego for spring break, and this condo was perfect for our family. The location is gorgeous: right on the beach at Mission Bay, which made for beautiful sunrises and picturesque views with boats bobbing on the bay as we sat on the patio. Very family friendly area, with the bay beach steps away, the ocean side of the beach a two block walk, an amusement park and shops just a few short blocks away, playgrounds, and all San Diego attractions within a 10-15 minute drive. The condo itself is also family friendly, with a fully stocked kitchen and lots of fun extras like kites and beach toys. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect Location, a Jewel, Very Serene, Great Value

Stunning view - right on the sand - and also completely private. The BED and LINENS were so comfortable that my husband and I are going out to get the exact 1,200 thread count sheets, pillows, and pillow top mattress (and we have a very high end bed already -- but it is not as comfortable as this one was). The kitchen was perfect - great for cooking - completely remodeled. And the living room area was so comfortable and spacious. Be forewarned, the outside of the building is not impressive - but I think this is better in some ways, kind of a hidden treasure, a place to hide out that is gorgeous inside but doesn't attract the wrong attention. Inside, the spacious condo has a very serene and calming energy to it, very clean and well kept up, clearly the owner has put a lot of love into the place. I brought my husband and young daughter and we had tons of space, but I think it would also work well as a multi-family or a party type of vacation rental. Very conveniently located next to the boardwalk - took long strolls every day. Just a short drive to San Diego Zoo - was the perfect vacation spot for a 3 day getaway. Could have stayed there another week comfortably!

Condo was in a great location! The Mission for sit down breakfast; Baked for bakery take-out (the sticky buns & cinnamon rolls are yummy!) There is a park just a short walk, maybe 5 minutes, away that my kids enjoyed playing at in the evening.

Great property at a beautiful location! Very convenient to Sea World and easy access to other Southern Cal locations. 4 kids loved being on the beach, and this spacious condo fit us well. Fun to sit on balcony at night and watch Sea World fireworks!

Wonderful Family Reunion

After almost 20 years my family was able to get together for a reunion and we found Scott's place on the internet. Wasn't sure what to expect site unseen but I must say the unit is very attractive and the kitchen has everything a cook could ever hope for. Great view, great location, very quiet and peaceful. We had six adults and two children and managed to all sleep comfortably. Everyone had a fantastic time and looking forward to planning another stay. I would recommend the unit highly.

Great bay front condo for families with small children

Date of Stay: 05/04/11 Review Submitted: 06/03/11

We recently travelled to San Diego from Denver for a family wedding & stayed at this beautiful bay front condo. The location is awesome! It's very close to everything....Sea World, Seaport Village, downtown, airport, etc...The condo is right on the bayside beach, which is so peaceful & quiet. Perfect for our young children to play in the sand and water. Also, a few short minutes walk to Mission beach with great swim beaches (with lifeguards) & the fun boardwalk. This condo was very comfortable for 2 families with a few kids to share. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals (except the groceries & wine!). The balcony overlooking the bay was great for the adults to enjoy beverages after putting the kids to bed! There is an elevator in the building that made it easy to get our stroller & luggage up and down easily. The Condo owner was easy to work with and accommodating with our special needs (early check in for kids naps, payment, etc...) We truly enjoyed our stay & can't wait to plan our next San Diego vacation!

Family Vacation

Date of Stay: 08/20/10 Review Submitted: 09/14/10

Our family consist of two children ages 2-4yrs of age, mom and dad. We all had a wonderful time. The condo was extremely clean and well maintained, the view from the condo was so awesome. My children and i watched the fireworks from sea world every night, The bay was ten steps away , so we were their every morning. As well as in the evenings for an after diner stroll. Legoland is a 25min drive away (went their twice). Deffinetly try Phils BBQ, It was scrumptous. This condo and it's location is a great find for families with small children. We loved our stay and felt extremly relaxed during our vacation. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We really enjoyed our stay at Scott's bayside condo. The location was perfect for my two young children (2 and 3 yrs old) - right on a quiet beach, but still close to restaurants, freeway, and Seaworld. Very comfortable, nice decor, well-appointed. Look forward to our next visit!

I run out of words to describe how much I love this place. If I had the time, I would come back to San Diego several times a year just to enjoy Scott's place. It's conveniently located, and I can just about walk everywhere! Not to mention it's almost private little beach on the balcony side. I LOVE the invinting decor and all the amenities included! would highly reccomend to anyone trying to space from the daily grind.

We really enjoyed full days at the beach and then BBQing fresh halibut and salmon on the deck with beautiful views of Mission Bay and the Sea World fireworks each night. Great location, comfortable digs and we loved the shower head in the master bathroom!

We stayed here for five nights with our two young sons while we visited San Diego. The apartment is just great! It's got a sophisticated feel with attractive furnishings and art. There is plenty of space and the view out the living room window is amazing. Our very favorite part about the apartment was its location. You can walk down one flight of stairs and be on a quiet beach! It is an easy walk to the excitement of Mission Beach. The kids were over the moon. Scott, the owner, was a pleasure to do business with. He's a really nice guy and very accommodating. One word of warning - the parking space is small, which is very typical for the Mission Beach area - so don't plan on bringing your Hummer :)

Lovely bayfront condo and an even better stay

I've stayed at this condo twice now and it's wonderful. Right on the water, nice renovations, high end furniture... the place is a real treat. The views are amazing and it's so quiet on the bay. After staying at Scott's place we recommended some of our friends out of Chicago and they too loved it!
