Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around `courts` with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to `live at the beach` Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away)
Please note that there is no parking at this residence and street parking tends to be difficult find in peak season. You can always park in alleys (just look for breaks in the fire lanes or on Mission Blvd (Just check the street sweeping signs). If you head east on Santa Clara Pl towards the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, there is free daytime parking (not for overnight use). Next to Santa Clara is the Mission Beach Women`s Club, which offers paid parking when they have it (look for the envelopes by the door. Finally, in a pinch you can drop stuff off and then park in Ventura Cove and grab a Bird scooter and jet back to the property. Most of our guests never use their car once on site since everything at the beach is walkable (or Uber-able in a pinch).
There is a fully stocked kitchen with all items needed to bake, cook or grill, pots/pans, cookie sheets, casserole dishes, outdoor plastic dishes, knives, cutting board, blender, coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, first aid kit, a/c & heat, wifi, Smart TV, hair dryer, iron, iron board, shared washer-dryer, luggage rack, hangers, extra linens, pillows and blankets, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, beach umbrellas, and patio furniture.

The host was very responsive and helpful. The place was clean, aesthetic, and very relaxing.

The place was cute and clean which is important and felt like home . The location was perfect and blocks from the bay and the ocean .
Love this place, it's my go-to place when visiting my son. So comfortable inside, decor is light & airy and of course when you step outside you can see the beautiful bay. The patio outside is a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee. Staying in Mission Beach is the best if you want easy access to the beach. Location, location, location...this place has it!
Cute place in a great location! We would definitely stay here again!

Cute house, clean. Parking was a little difficult, as stated in the description. The front patio area is great, walking distance to the beach (5 mins), restaurants & bars was really nice! It was a little small for us, but super cute.

We had a weekend get away in San Diego. The location was great, in between the ocean and bay. the condo was a perfect size for a couple retreat. The only down side is parking was very limited. Mission Blvd is really close, but we had to park 5 blocks away.I will visit it again.
