Wake up to the sound of waves and enjoy stunning ocean views from the living room and master bedroom. Whether you're here to relax, surf, or explore the local gems, this cozy coastal retreat has everything you need for a memorable stay — beach gear included! ☀️🏄🏖️



The Space:

Our home is clean and comfortable, though not newly renovated. Some fixtures or paint may show normal cosmetic wear typical of a beach home and may not be fully reflected in the listing photos.



✔️ 2 Comfortable Bedrooms – Each with a cozy queen bed, soft linens, and beachy charm; primary bedroom includes ocean views. 🛌🌊

✔️ Inviting Living Room – Features a large sofa with pull-out bed and a Smart TV—plus stunning views of the ocean. 📺

✔️ Fully Stocked Kitchen – Everything you need to whip up meals or snacks, including a drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster, and more. 🍳

✔️ Bathroom with a walk-in shower, plus an outdoor shower ideal for rinsing off sandy feet after a day at the beach. 🚿

✔️ Beach Gear Included – Surfboards, chairs, and more available for guest use 🏄



Guest Access:

🔑 Seamless arrival with a secure smart lock and personalized access code.

🏡 You’ll have the entire apartment to yourself, with a shared entryway.

🅿️ Parking – Garage for one medium-sized vehicle (small SUVs).

⚠️ Note for Larger Vehicles – Street parking is available, but availability may be limited.

🧼 Washer and dryer are shared with the other units.

📍 Steps from the beach and close to bike rentals, surf shops, restaurants, and local attractions.



The Neighborhood:

Mission beach offers a wide variety of local entertainment and hot spots and fun beach and water activities. Belmont Park is the centerpiece of Mission Beach tourism, along with adjoining 30,000 square foot outdoor Wave House entertainment complex.



Getting Around:

Walk to everything in Mission and Pacific Beach. There is a public bus, bus number 8, that runs along the beach and also heads to Old Town Trolley Station where you can catch trollies, buses and Amtrak train.



Other Things to Note:

📐 500 sq. ft. of open-concept space with beachy decor and natural light.

🚫 No parties, events, or loud gatherings — this is a peaceful beach retreat, not a party spot!

🔈 As this is a ground-floor apartment, some light noise from the upstairs unit may be heard at times — just a heads up.

🏡 Please note: This is an older beach property, and while it’s clean and comfortable, some fixtures and finishes may be slightly dated.



Pack your bags and get ready for a sun-soaked escape in Mission Beach—we can’t wait to welcome you! 🌊🌴☀️

If you need anything during your stay, whether it’s extra towels, a light bulb replaced, or suggestions for local favorites, just reach out. We’re happy to help make your visit comfortable and enjoyable!

This place is accurately priced for the stay. The location is perfect a block to the beach and there are extra boards, chairs etc for use. The beds were comfortable and very clean, washer and dryer in the garage for use. The entire apartment was very clean and supplied upon arrival and communication was the best I have ever had by a host. Be aware there is one very small bathroom. The parking is tricky, garage shared by other guest, the host is clear about that. The street parking usually does not have open spots and if there are the hours are limited on when you can park your vehicle. Also, the owner of the unit behind the garage parks his white small suv directly behind the garage making it even more difficult to pull in and out of the garage.

Great little beach cottage!

Stayed here for a week with my 4 kids. This is a great little beach cottage. The cottage met all our needs, close to the beach, stocked with everything we needed for our stay, including surfboards so the kids didn’t need to rent them. 100% recommend!

Liked: Check-in, location

Our family of four was really disappointed with our stay. First, the cleanliness of the place (and especially the bathroom) is really poor. Fixtures and finishes were dirty/grimy. They have clearly not had anyone do a deep cleaning or more than a surficial cleaning of this property. Lots of rust on plumbing fixtures. Our second issue is that the upstairs rental unit is incredibly loud. There was a family with a very young child above us and it was pretty unbearable. We are not overly sensitive to sound but this was atrocious. I spoke with the family and they were very gracious. We had young kids at one point so I understand the challenge and don't blame them one bit. The place has car-decking style floors and they are unforgiving, acoustically.I would generally overlook all of these issues and never issue a poor review. However, I brought up the issues and the responses were not satisfactory. The photos paint an image of a quant beach adjacent bungalow but really it's just a run down quasi-basement apartment. There was new towels so that was one plus!

Awesome Location and Very Clean

Visiting from Colorado, it was great to have a location so close to the beach. Just three houses away and you are there. We appreciated having beach chairs and umbrellas available which saved us from renting. The kitchen facilities were great for breakfast and a few meals. The air conditioning worked great, and the host was very accommodating with additional needs we had. We loved the location in Mission Beach, and it was very easy to get to activities like Seaworld, a Whale watching tour, and see kayaking in La Jolla.We would definitely recommend this location for your stay.

Great location. Condo was clean. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. Plenty of clean towels to use.Garage was small and tricky to get SUV in snd out of. Would have been helpful to have an outside shower/hose to rinse off with after being at the beach. Great place to stay and vacation.

Hi Cynthia, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location, cleanliness, and well-stocked kitchen—great to know the space worked well for your vacation. The garage dimensions are noted in the listing, but we understand it can be a tight fit for larger vehicles. We also appreciate the suggestion about an outdoor rinse area—it’s a helpful idea and something we’ll take into consideration for future improvements.

Great stay

We loved the stay here. Property management was amazing and checked in on us throughout the stay! Easy location right to the beach!, and easy access to Beaumont park which is about a 15-20 minute walk, same with pacific beach. Nice little grocery shop right around the corner for necessities. Only down fall was a few roaches we found living in the WiFi router, but that’s all we saw. Beds were comfortable and water for the shower was great. Would stay again

First off I would like to start by saying the host was not the issue. Communication was great and they tried to accommodate the issues! I don’t know where all the good reviews came from but this place was the most disgusting place I have ever stayed in!!! The pictures are either AI generated for decor and etc or when they first started renting it out! If I could post pics I would! Rust all over the place, railing, closets, doors and etc. All the blinds in living room and bedrooms were broken. We had to cover holes with paper towels. They ordered new blinds for us but never put them in while we were there. Bathroom door was filthy! Shower cracked and moldy, mold all around bottom of shower, walls cracked and moldy at bottom of door ways, had to request mattress topper for pull out couch as springs were popping through. Mattress cover on couch was stained, bathroom sink was disgusting, floors were extremely dirty, had to wear shoes in shower, no extra bedding like stated, washer and dryer in garage area that was dirty and creepy, parking is horrible… it was just the worst part of our trip unfortunately. I tried to get a refund the day we got there and get something else but they wouldn’t promise a refund so I couldn’t book something else and pay double! Very very very disappointing!
