Oceanfront South Mission Beach Vacation Rental on the Sand 2737

Had a wonderful vacation splitting time between the beach and the bay (only a 5 min walk)!

This was our second summer visiting this unit and we can’t wait to come back again. The home is well stocked and comfortable. The pictures on the listing are outdated as the home has newer furniture and tv’s in every room. Kitchens have everything you would need. I would recommend bringing fans as it can get pretty warm inside (it was record temps the week we stayed- so that probably didn’t help). The patio is shared so this year we brought out more family to join us and rented both sides of the duplex. It was perfect with plenty of room for everyone. Great location on the South end of mission so it is much quieter and mellow. Thanks for another great vacation!

great price for the size of the house, great location, beautiful view! this was our second time staying here and we love it. Within walking distance to shopping and resturaunts. Walk right out the front door to the beach. Owner has quick response and worked with our vacation dates perfect and very professional. highly recommend!

The duplex was nice enough, nothing fancy but definitely not a dump. The City shut the water off not once but twice while we were there during our week stay. The property manager did everything he could to get it back on each time but it still left us and the family staying in other half of the duplex without water for the majority of two of the days. With the all small children between the two tenants and no one being able to use the toilets, wash their hands, or use any water it made two days rather unpleasant. The landlord never tried to compensate us by offering to decrease the rent or waive the cleaning fee as a good gesture for the inconvenience. That was disappointing because I think that would have gone without saying that he should have at least offered something. It was definitely more than just a simple or small inconvenience.

As for the condition of the property, as I said, it was nice enough and clean for the most part. There were empty beer bottles under the twin beds that my young children were sleeping in that hadn't been cleaned up before our arrival, quite a few of the dishes were dirty even though they were in the cupboards and we had to wash them before we could use them. I'm not a clean freak but I was not going to use some of those dishes without cleaning them first because of the old food and grease I could visible see on it that wasn't washed off very well at all. Lastly, there is a washer and dryer set in a utility closet under the porch which was great! I loved that. However, the last night we were there a homeless person helped himself to use of the laundry machines because the lock on the door to the laundry/utility closet didn't work. That was creepy. The family staying in the other half of the duplex said they experienced the same issue, too.

Besides the above, the location was great because it was right on the boardwalk and we could sit on the patio and enjoy the ocean without having to pack up and head to the beach everyday like when you're not staying right on the beach. That was the best part. All in all, we would rent this place again for that reason alone. The likelihood that the water would get shut again is very slim. Right?? ;)

Perfect location on South Mission Beach, far enough away from Belmont Park to avoid most of the "drive-in crowd". Smooth sandy beach rarely busy, with lifeguard and fire pits for S'mores directly out from condo.The large gated patio is perfect for breakfast coffee and sunset dinners, and safe storage of beach items. BBQ used nightly! Quick walk to mini-market, liquor store, and a few restaurants, and 2.7 miles to Crystal Pier on Boardwalk; 10 minute drive to Ralph's for groceries in Pacific Beach, and fishing / boating areas in Mission Bay. Key to have 2 parking spots - but they are very TIGHT, and washer - dryer.

Fantastic ocean breeze enjoyed with the opening of the glass doors and windows downstairs, and sliding glass door with screen in upstairs master bedroom. "L-shaped" sofa is comfy and big enough to sleep on.

Nothing fancy in functional kitchen. Great to have the 3/4 bath downstairs. Upstairs master bedroom spacious with patio and its own full bath. Other two rooms are small, with less ocean breeze to cool and in earshot of any noise coming from neighbors / alley.

We rented as a "beach house" for two weeks to enjoy South Mission Beach, and were not disappointed. The property manager Zach helped us when we needed him. The pictures on VRBO are accurate: this is a dated and not-fancy unit, but it is very functional. There are two items worth mentioning. The flight path from San Diego Airport puts many of the planes flying directly over the home.....starting at about 6AM. Second -- this is a condo, and you will interface with those renting the other unit, possibly about excessive noise, etc.
