A VACATION AT THE BEACH!!!! Doesn’t that sound like fun? You’re right! It is FUN!!

Just imagine – 30 steps to a beautiful beach AND affordable!! This very cute and very family-friendly and very romantic condo is upgraded and designer decorated inside. It's an upper corner condo so you get sunshine and terrific ocean breeze!!

You'll appreciate the gleaming hardwood floors, super comfy queen bed, granite kitchen fully equipped down to the spices!! Many units at the beach are OLD and a bit shabby inside. Honestly - is that where you want to stay on vacation? You live in a nice place & you deserve to stay in a modern, spotlessly clean condo on vacation. Plus, this condo is the perfect location in San Diego to enjoy our legendary weather and surf inspired beach life!! Yes, there are surfers out there from sunrise until sunset! Speaking of sunsets, have you ever seen a green flash?

WELCOME!! The sign on the front door welcomes you! Use the coded front door lock and step inside to see this modern, beautifully renovated condo with gleaming hardwood floors, granite countertops and new kitchen cabinets. We added plantation shutters on all the windows for light and privacy. From the mirrored wall in the living room, you can actually see the reflection of Mission Bay from inside the condo! Because the condo has a view of Sail Bay, it's all designer decorated with a 'sailing' theme! Very cute. Check out the pictures!

THE LIVING ROOM: There’s a sofa sleeper in the living room that will sleep 2 and a glass dining table with a view of the bay. Check out the entertainment center with a very cool LCD HDTV, DVD player & CD/radio. Hey - bring your iPod! We even have an iPod dock!! ! You’re welcome to watch our classic DVD’s and just in case you get tired of all that sunshine at the beach, there are books and games. You’ll also find a whole box of tourist brochures and info on what to do on your vacation in San Diego plus restaurant recommendations - many within an easy walk from the condo.

Enjoy your early morning coffee on the front entrance deck or grab a beach chair (included) and gel out on the sand. A funky charcoal BBQ is located at the bottom of the stairs and we’ve provided BBQ equipment.

THE KITCHEN: Don't you just hate it when you check into a vacation rental and have to go to the store to get the basics like paper towels, tp, coffee, tea, salt & pepper? Not in this condo!!

We’ve tried to think of everything you would need to have a carefree, fun-filled time at the beach without having to pack a bunch of stuff or go to the store right away. No kidding. Check out all that is included!! The kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker, plenty of dishes, glasses, silverware, utensils, pots and pans. There are also spices, coffee, tea, kitchen towels, pot holders, paper towels, dish soap, trash bags. You'll even find margarita, martini and wine glasses! Just bring your food and drinks!!

THE BEDROOM: At the end of a busy beach and sightseeing day, you will definitely appreciate the super comfy queen bed with a Temperpedic mattress topper and quality linens & comforter. The bedroom is a separate room from the living room with a door between the two rooms for privacy. There’s plenty of room for your stuff in the mirrored closet and in the tall drawer cabinets on either side of the bed. You’ll appreciate the cool ocean breeze through the shuttered bedroom window.

THE BATH: Sparkling clean with travertine tile. There's a tub and shower with a really good shower head (not much better than a good shower - well, almost nothing). And, we found a curved shower curtain rod and a hookless shower curtain - just like in the upscale hotels! You’ll find plenty of towels and a built-in hairdryer (so you don't have to bring one!!)

Don't pack a hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, lotion or shower gel! There's a very cool dispenser inside the shower with all that stuff!! We’ve tried to think of everything so you don’t have to pack so much stuff or go to the store and pay for the basics.

CHECK OUT ALL THE EXTRAS - INCLUDED!! Two beach bikes (very cool), secure, encrypted Wifi, iPod dock, PLUS reserved and numbered parking!! Headed for the beach? Grab the beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, cooler, boogie boards and beach umbrella - all included!! And, we just added FREE long distance nationwide phone service.

PARKING: The condo includes one numbered, reserved parking space. That’s a VERY important benefit!! Parking is scarce at the beach and it’s nice to know you have your very own numbered parking space!!

WHAT'S NEARBY: Location! Location! Location! From the condo, it's a quick 1 minute walk to the sand and Sail Bay. Head the other direction along a sidewalk and you'll run into the Pacific Ocean - an easy 4 minute walk!!You can also walk or ride the beach bikes to markets, restaurants, bars, local shops, Belmont Park 's historic roller coaster & the Wavehouse (check out the pictures).

Year Purchased: 2005

Why the Owner Chose Mission Beach

I grew up just across the bay from Mission Beach and I always wanted to own a property at the "beach". Having one condo on the bayside and one condo on the oceanside is very cool. My prospective guests have a choice of locations.

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

Both of my condos are model home perfect inside. They are spotlessly clean and I personally make sure that small details are managed to insure a quality experience. I also believe in providing guests with lots of extras so they don't have to pack a lot of stuff or run to the market right away for things like coffee, tea, spices, salt & pepper, paper towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion. These are all included!! I also include 2 beach bikes with each condo and secure WiFi. Each condo has quality beds, linens and fully equipped kitchens including a dishwasher. Who wants to wash dishes on vacation?? My philosophy is that vacations are suppose to be fun - not an ordeal. I know that my guests live in nice homes and when they go on vacation, they should stay in equally nice accommodations with quality amenities. That is my goal and from the past guest reviews, I am proud to say that I have succeeded! Yeah!!

A
Belmont Park & the historic wooden roller coaster!

An easy walk along the Boardwalk. The kids will love the rides at the mimi-amusement park and a ride on the historic roller coaster is a BLAST!! I actually rode it when I was in high school for 25 cen

B
"The Wavehouse"

Ride a wave or just watch the action. Amazing!! Weekends are really busy so try a midweek visit.

C
Sea World and Shamu - San Diego's famous whale!

Don't miss this! Only a 10 minute drive from the condo! Best to go Monday - Friday because the crowds are huge on the weekend. SeaWorld is very cool!

D
Crystal Pier

Walk or ride the bikes north on the Boardwalk to Crystal Pier. Walk out to the end of the pier and join the locals as they watch the surfers and hope to see a "green flash". Yes, they really do exist.

E
The Pacific Ocean is right there!!

Learn to surf, search for seashells, build a sandcastle, boogie board or just gel out in the sun. The beaches of Mission Beach are sandy & perfect for walks & sunning. The condo is a 3 minute walk to

F
Sail Bay - 30 steps from the condo!

Sail Bay is beautiful. Much quieter than the oceanside. Fun for toddlers and those who like to kayak, sail, swim. Watch the SeaWorld fireworks every nite in the summer.

 

Owner's Map of Mission Beach

I am a native San Diegan and was very lucky to grow up at the beach during the "Gidget" years. Since I love the beach, I traveled to Hawai'i and was fortunate to purchase my first vacation rental in Maui 7 years ago. That was a dream come true! That vacation rental was so successful that I am now the proud owner of 5 more vacation rentals - 2 in Mission Beach, 1 in La Jolla and 2 in Phoenix/Scottsdale. I take great pride in personally managing my properties. I concentrate on making each one look like a model home so when a guest opens the door, they say "WOW! This is very cool". The pictures on my listings are identical to how the condo looks inside. "No surprises" is my motto and it pays off with very satisfied guests and no complaints and lots of referrals!! Yeah!! I also like to include lots of extras so the guests don't have to run to the store to buy paper towels and coffee and salt & pepper. All included!Look in the shower and you'll see a dispenser with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and lotion!! PLUS - 2 beach bikes, beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards and beach toys! Just bring your food and drinks and enjoy!! For those guests who book one of my vacation condos, I give them my "insiders" guide to fun things to do and see!!

    • My best friend of 15 years and I stayed here at Bayside Lane and had a wonderful week away from our families! Don't get me wrong we love our families dearly. This was a great place, great view, with everything you need to be relaxed at the beach. Bikes were great and we had fun sightseeing. Loved the location as it was only 10-15 minutes from everything. We went some place everyday and we only used a quarter of a tank of gas the entire week. Loved it and look forward to returning someday. Happy travel to all!

    • Great location and wonderful little condo, even for a family of four. We walked the two blocks to the beach every day, built sand castles, walked down to Belmont Park, walked to Ralph's for groceries, rode the bikes, rode the waves on the boogie boards, saw a seal and dolphins swim by, visited the San Diego Zoo one day, and slept like babies every night. We returned home tanned, de-stressed, and full of wonderful memories. Thanks Jo Ann!

    • We were celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary and "WOW" what a perfect place to stay. This condo was amazing, it is a very short walk to Mission Beach and Mission Bay where you can eat, drink, shop or just lay on the beach. We really enjoyed riding the beach cruisers on the boardwalks soaking up the beautiful San Diego weather. When we return to the Mission Beach/Mission Bay area this will be the only place we call home.

      Homeowner Response:
      "WOW"! Thank you for your rave review! Come back anytime!!

    • There was 4 of us stayed in the condo for 2weeks and we had everything we needed. Fab location, within walking distance of everything you'd need. It is right by the beach and bay, which gives you a choice of where to realx in the sun. We loved having the bikes to cycle around the bay. Great place to stay!

    • My wife and I very much enjoyed this tidy condo. With the beach bikes, we hardly even needed our rental car; you can get to dinner, the grocery store and just about anything without having to use any gas. The location is ideal, as you can see the bay from the window and the ocean is a couple blocks west. The kitchen is well-stocked with gadgets should you feel like cooking.

    • We stayed at Bayside Lane for a week in July 08. Perfect location - literally steps to the beach and the bay. We walked to the market and to many excellent restaurants. The apartment came iwth everything we needed. Especially loved the designated parking space and the fantastic coffee maker! We'd go back in a heartbeat!
