About this property
Find your beach bliss!
LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! It doesn’t get any better than this! If you are hankering for a beach vacation, you will find fun, surf, sand and quiet relaxation in sunny Mission Beach at Hale Makai (House by the ocean). This one bedroom one bath condo on the Penthouse floor of the Top of the Beach condo complex comfortably sleeps 4 and is just steps from famous Mission/Pacific Beach and Boardwalk. The condo offers a king size bed in the bedroom with 6 generous under bed storage drawers and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. The bathroom vanity area has been remodeled with a new cabinet, granite countertop and under the counter rectangular sink. The tiled walk in shower sports a beach rock shower pan which is wonderful on your feet. There is a remodeled full kitchen with new cabinets and granite counter tops, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, toaster, blender and Keurig and standard coffee maker- even a set of Henckel's knives for the discerning chef. The dining table has comfortable seating for 4. A 43” smart TV in the living room and a 32” TV in the bedroom help you unwind from a busy day watching shows in the cozy comfort of home. Wi-fi is provided too, of course. Ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom combine with ocean breezes to keep you comfortable and you can sleep with the relaxing sound of the surf. The lanai offers wonderful views of the ocean, Mission Bay and downtown San Diego with a table and chairs for your enjoyment. We also provide beach towels, boogie board, beach umbrella and beach chairs to make your vacation hassle free. There are 2 washers and dryers available (for a fee) in the upper garage for your convenience.
The Boardwalk, just steps away on the ocean side, stretches for 3 miles from Law Street in North Pacific Beach to the south Mission Beach jetty. It provides a marvelous venue for biking, roller blading, jogging, and walking. Of course the beach is just on the other side of the boardwalk where you can soak up the sun or frolic in the surf. The condo is only one block from Mission Bay which also has a boardwalk around the Bay. There you can rent an assortment of water toys from the Aquatic Center like sailboats, stand up paddle boards, wind surfers or boats to enhance your vacation experience. At the end of the day, since Hale Makai is on the top floor of the tallest building in Mission Beach, you will be treated to breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific Ocean as you relax on the lanai.
Hale Makai offers under building parking with a reserved space in a gated garage so no worries about finding a place to park. Plus the elevator is just steps from your parking space should you not want to climb stairs with your baggage or grocery purchases. But once you arrive you may not need to take your car out again since so many activities and restaurants are within walking distance. But if you have plans to go to Sea World, Legoland, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park or any of the other attractions in the San Diego area the condo is centrally located for exploring all the city has to offer. Belmont Park and its historic roller coaster is just down the boardwalk along with many other rides and amusement park offerings. Visit the San Diego waterfront with the Midway aircraft carrier museum, the Maritime museums and Seaport Village. Drive over the Bay Bridge to quaint Coronado and the famous Hotel del Coronado and beaches. Your choices are endless and you are only limited by the amount of time you have to spend in “America’s Finest City”.
We would be thrilled to be your hosts for your visit to San Diego and hope that you will return often to enjoy the warm hospitality that we provide all our guests.

Awesome place right next to the beach, very clean and secure. Plenty of places to eat and enjoy within walking distance. The owner was very communicative with all our needs. Family loved it and we can’t wait to book again!
For the price point we thought this rental was ideal. It was steps from the beach, a short walk to mission bay, and minutes to both San Diego and La Jolla. There were tons of restaurants and bars nearby. You had a view of the Ocean, San Diego, and Mission Bay. (Bring Binoculars!!) It was clean and well appointed. We had a small hiccup at check in because the last renters did not return the key to the lockbox, but Heather was very responsive, and had a friend bring us an extra set of keys within a few minutes. I would highly recommend this rental. We would not hesitate to stay here again!
Location was amazing!! The condo was well organized, clean, we literally had everything we from ziplock bags done to chairs and toys for my little one to take to the beach. The bed was comfortable as was the pull out sofa. We genuinely enjoyed our stay and will come back the next time we’re in San Diego.
This was exactly what we hoped it would be! Perfect location near the beach, coffee shops and great restaurants. Water views from the living room and bedroom too! Sit on the balcony and get the sunrise from the bay and the sunset on the ocean. We will definitely be back!
We loved this cute condo in San Diego. It’s in the perfect location! Just a quick walk to the boardwalk on Mission Beach to the west and the boardwalk on the bay to the east. So many great restaurants and shops nearby. The condo has a fully stocked kitchen, comfy bed, and a nice couch for relaxing. It’s in a quiet spot in town and centered between Pacific Beach and Belmont Park. We had so much fun! We’ll be back for sure!
Heather was great and was easy to reach if we needed anything. This rental was in the perfect place, easy to get to restaurants and beaches, unfortunately we had rainy weather and so we didn’t get to appreciate the beaches like we would have liked. Our accommodations were amazing comfortable and had everything we could have needed. We highly recommend this to anyone going to San Diego. Everything was perfect!!!
This is our second time staying. Very nice and very convenient. Exactly 1 mile walk to Crystal Pier and 1 mile walk to Belmont Park, right in the middle of everything.
The location is perfect, steps away from the beach, close to the bay and everything you need around you. Super cute and comfortable place. Owners are extremely kind and attentive. We will definitely be back.
What an amazing, blissful experience! This place was truly heaven. Everything was amazing, and we could not have been happier with our stay. I can’t wait to go back again :)

About the host
Hosted by Heather Rowley
We are forever grateful to the US Navy for bringing us to 'America's Finest City'. Though we had to move away here and there we always returned as San Diego is where our hearts remained. In 2004 Dennis and Gail (aka mom and dad) had the amazing opportunity to fulfill a life long dream of living in Hawaii and now reside on the beautiful garden island of Kauai. Sean and Heather (aka son and daughter) remain planted firmly in San Diego. We have no doubt you will love this city and all it has to offer as much as we do. The Rowley family looks forward to welcoming you for a truly unforgettable beach vacation!

We have all you need to frolic at the beach including chairs, towels, a boogie board, a cooler and an umbrella. We have updated the condo with new cabinetry, granite countertops, tiled walk in shower, and an upgraded kitchen with quality pots, pans and cutlery and both a Keurig and standard coffee maker. Come, let us welcome you to our paradise!
