Perfect for our week stay in Mission Beach! We loved the location. Watched Alex Morgan retire her jersey at the SD Wave game, enjoyed a day at the zoo, along with whale watching and an ocean kayak excursion. Knowing there is lots more to see and do … we will be back.

I don’t recommend staying here in the summer as there is no AC. Many windows do not have screens so you need to deal with flies in order to try to get air circulation. This location has an ant problem in the bathrooms and kitchen/dining area. They have fans but were dirty and rusted. We had rats run across by our feet when sitting on the patio on two nights of a 4 night stay.The home is very dated and bathrooms are small but water pressure for showers was adequate.On a positive note, the host responded quickly when I had questions and the home is of adequate size for up to 2 couples.There were 4 bikes to use and they work but as many things with this home, they were rusted and difficult to adjust seats because of the rust.The location is great but I would not stay at this location for reasons I have provided. Felt it was over priced for the accommodations when staying in the summer months.

The location is great. The house was clean but needs a little TLC, especially the carpet and blinds. Small ant problem but nothing that got out of control. Overall, it was great for the week we were there and we enjoyed our stay. Thanks for the hospitality!

Golden Birthday

For location and price this place was wonderful! We had 4 women and 4 girls in this 2 bedroom 2 bath house and it was just right. Needs some updates and maintenance but nothing that we couldn't work around. We will look into this place again next time for sure!

Great stay!

This was the second time we stayed at this house and really enjoyed it once again! It is the perfect place for our family. We love the location, especially because it is further down on the boardwalk, where is it a little calmer. We even reached out to Al on a holiday with a question and he responded immediately! Thanks again!

Cute bungalow

We absolutely love this property! We have stayed here three times and will continue in the future. We wake up in the morning, drink our coffee on the back patio, watching the volleyball players. Just a few steps away from the ocean. And a short walk to Belmont Park. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Al being such a gracious host.

Beach stay

It was exactly as advertised. Needs updating but comfortable for our group of 8. The patio was great and the volleyball courts were not a problem. A few minor mishaps with coin laundry and ants but resolved quickly. The shower in one bathroom was tricky and the ceiling fan vibration in one bedroom was bad enough to turn it off at night. All in all, a good week.

We had a wonderful time staying in this beach house!!

This house is adorable, and perfectly located for quiet evenings on the patio or easy access to lots of fun! It’s a quaint beach house, and loved the old-style charm!! It could use some sprucing up, and more ceiling fans but we were there on one of the warmer weekends for SoCal. We also enjoyed watching the volleyball players during the day, and wondering the boardwalk in the evenings. It’s just far enough down the beach for a quiet and peaceful experience which is exactly what we were looking for!! Thanks to Al for quickly responding to our questions. We had a wonderful time and hope to be back in the near future!!

Patio Makes the Stay

Wonderful patio, right on the boardwalk. It was fun watching the beach volleyball players. The house is cute & clean. It can use some updating. We didn't like the "coin washer & dryer". That was a first for us in all the VRBO's we have stayed in over the years. The other thing that would be nice is some foil, zip locks, saran wrap, maybe 2 rolls of TP in each bathroom. When you fly in from another state it makes a difference. The bedrooms are spacious. We enjoyed our girl time together. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Cute House, Great Location

We rented this house for Thanksgiving week, family of 5 with adult children and significant others. 2 bedrooms are private with 2 large, comfortable pull outs. Plenty of room for everyone. The volleyball courts are so close and fun to watch everyone playing. The back patio is the perfect place for morning coffee and afternoon happy hour. Easy walk to the escape room at the Belmont Park, or take the bikes! We decided to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in this rental, and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. So many dishes, pots, pans and even reusable containers for leftovers. I was pleasantly surprised, as some rentals have minimal kitchen items. We will definitely rent this house again. Looking forward to our next visit to Mission Beach!

Great trip

Overall 5 stars! There were some flying ants that invaded and left wings in the bedroom and bathroom (gross!) but they didn’t bother us otherwise. They disappeared after the first day. We enjoyed sitting in the back porch and watching the volleyball games. Had a couple of neighborhood cats that stopped by for some loving. Could use a second umbrella for the porch as the afternoon sun was strong and it was hard to squeeze 4 chairs with the one umbrella. Al responded instantly with a question about the bikes. Didn’t cook at all except for making coffee. No keurig but the coffee maker worked just fine. Was a perfect cozy place for us!
