DESCRIPTION
The Mai Tai Beach House is ground central for your tropical San Diego beach vacation. This recently remodeled 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath condominium home sits directly on Bayside Walk. This home is on a special part of the bay that features gently waving palm trees on a strand of grass lawn, adjacent to the sandy beach and the tranquil waters of Mission Bay and just across the street from the ocean.
 
The property spans 3 levels, starting with a ground-level patio with lounge seating where you can watch sailboats glide across the bay and wave to passersby on Bayside Walk. On the second level is the main living area with a spacious, modern kitchen opening up to the dining area and living room overlooking the beach and bay beyond. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms with sleeping accommodations for up to 10 guests. The Primary suite is a special retreat in itself with raised curved ceilings, a waterfront balcony with bistro seating, a 50″ HDTV and an adjacent bathroom with a walk-in shower and dual sink vanity capped with beautiful granite countertops.

Family retreat

the property was clean and plenty of room for the family. Location was excellent short walk across the street to the ocean. Walking distance to coffee shops and beach rentals. Nice view of the bay. The only issue would be the noise at the Women's club when they are having a function.

Great house, well built, clean, updated

Having the 2 parking spaces was essential for an suv or minivan. great access to walkway and house. House was solid and a perfect setup for a family. Views and bay water right from the house was not spectacular but a short walk farther up and it was very nice. overall a super comfy, wonderful accommodating house

Mai Tai house

House was good, stove was not working appropriately all the time. Almost like one of the burners was failing. Vacumn didn't work very well. Parking is very deceiving on pictures compared to visibly being there. We have two full size trucks that didn't fit so we had to find parking each day off site. The bluewater company treated me as they didn't believe me by sending me measurements to the parking.

San Diego Vacation home review

• 4 stars for overall cleanliness–bedrooms & bathrooms were very clean; however, there was a damp humid smell throughout the house. We had to buy room deodorizers to fix the smell. • parking spaces are not ideal; it's much narrower than normal parking space. Only ideal if no one parks next to you or for a tiny smart car or motorcycle. • fully loaded kitchen was awesome; however the large coffee maker was broken and when we washed out the water, mold came out. Glad there was a smaller coffee maker available. Also some mugs weren't washed properly, they had coffee stains. • The pantry that hold the cleaning supplies held a terrible odor. I can only relate it to the smell of carcass (possibly recently cleared out a dead rodent and the smell remained). We have that similar smell in our outside shed when we clean it in the spring. • The location is great!! Easy access to the bay and the beach.

Good location, plenty of room

We stay in Mission Beach every year and love the area. Steps from the bay and from the ocean is a huge draw for us. The condo was nice with good views, right on the bayside walkway. Close to additional parking for guests was nice as we host Thanksgiving dinner for all our southland family. Downside was that the main level was not on the ground floor. I should have inquired, but that limited the flow out to the patio and was more difficult for the grandparents. Another downside was there was no garage to keep bikes, surfboards, kayaks etc. Four bedrooms, one with bunk beds, one with twins and the third with a queen provided plenty of space for my grown kids. The master bedroom was very nice, on the third floor with the rest of the bedrooms. The master was very spacious with high ceilings, huge windows and a balcony both overlooking the bay was a nice way to end/start the day.
