Our stay was perfect for our activities! On one side we could walk a few steps to the bay, and the other side, we had about a 4 minute walk to the Pacific Beach. It's within walking distance to places for a pleasant meal out, but our kitchen was fully equipped to make a quick meal in. Wonderful vacation!

We had a comfortable and pleasant stay here. The location is very convenient to Mission bay where we enjoyed Paddle boarding, and also to the ocean side. The owner was friendly and helpful. He allowed us to use his paddleboard, life jackets, and boogie boards. The manager communicated well and quickly addressed any concerns.

Nice rental in an excellent location. Steps from a walk along Mission Bay and nearby restaurants and shops. John and The Coastal Project were very communicative and welcoming—easiest check in possible and all was as described. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen for the basics, and great to have a washer/dryer handy for the longer stay. The owner of the property is very friendly as well.

Multi generation family vacation

We had a great stay. We were a family of four with ages ranging from 1 to 65 so we spent most time around the area and in the home. The home had everything needed for meals, with stores walking distance. Also the area is flat which was easy for baby/ stroller and elderly to navigate. Entertainment is every direction!
