Casa Brisas 826 Salem Court- Mission Bay View Large Home - Sleeps 8

We stayed in this house for a week in July and it was great. We really enjoyed the big comfy couch that held 4 adults at one time (with room for little ones) and the great patio. We also loved how close it was to both the beach and the bay. We would stay here again and would recommend it to others! It was missing a few items that I would bring myself next time such as kitchen hand towels (we went through a lot of paper towels due to this) and floor mats/towels when stepping out of the shower. Also, the main floor is on the 2nd floor, so if you have little ones with you it is hard to put up a baby gate to protect them from the stairs going down to the 1st floor. We made it work by blocking them with chairs and the sorts, but something we had to be "on alert" for all the time. Overall, this was a great experience!

We are a family of 8, 5 adults and 3 teenagers. We enjoyed cooking and dining on the patio and had extra room for a niece and cousins to join us for dinner and games after a day at the beach! This home is well maintained and equipped for the beach and for preparing meals inside or out. The only thing we could have used was a larger skillet and smaller wine glasses! We also brought some larger beach blankets and towels with us which were used as well as our own balls, but there is plenty there for younger children. Large television in the living area worked beautifully. There is also a large set in the master bedroom upstairs which we didn't even turn on as we retired late. Beds were all comfortable. Air conditioning is provided however in San Diego it is so humid we felt it would have to work too hard to cool off during the day, and we were out most days on the beach or exploring the community. The property owner was helpful and expressed his desire that we have what we needed to be comfortable. We highly recommend the location, half a block to the bay and a block and a half to the beach. Quiet area, but certainly not restrictive.

This home is located in the best part of Mission Beach. Interior is very nice and the entire home is upgraded. We enjoyed the tranquility of the bay and crossed the street to be right on the board walk. It is a spacious home with a bathroom for everyone! That is, the house has a perfect floor plan with each level having its own bathroom. The master bedroom was awesome!!! The house is a great sanctuary if you want to mellow at the beach or is great for entertaining your entire group!!!! Plenty of closet space to store all of our vacation wear/luggage so we were not living out of a suitcase. The location is excellent. Traffic getting in and out was fine. The garage had room for both our cars too!

We stayed for 11 days in late June with a bunch of teen age boys. The house is perfectly laid out for this type of group, with bedrooms/baths on each floor. Very comfortably designed, decorated with lots of amenities and everything you could want in place. We loved the Master bedroom "retreat" too, so spacious and wonderful bed and bathroom! Al was such a gem in providing excellent info and assistance before and after we arrived. The location is about as good as it gets! Close to everything, yet not right on the boardwalk which is a bit too busy for our taste. Being in the cute & funky beach alley was great. The boys did just about everything-boogie boarding, surfing, kayaking, jet skiing, beach cruisers, skate boarding, beach sports etc. All right there and allowing the kids to be super independent. We cooked/BBQ'd at the house quite a lot (made about 10 trips to Trader Joes!), but also ate a lot of fish tacos at the local places along with breakfast at the Mission, practically next door. Went to La Jolla to eat the lobster tacos at Bahia Brava which was fun and really good and cheap! Then went the opposite route and ate on the terrace at George's at the Cove, Wow! A trip to Coronado island is great too.

We highly recommend this house and can't wait until we are able to return. A great vacation!
