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.

Hi Scott. Thank you for the great review! So glad you and your wife enjoyed the stay and the neighborhood. Hope to have you both back soon!
The ac worked great. Nice laundry room and toys to play with at the beach. Kitchen had everything we needed. Responsive host with questions answered very quickly.
Cute, clean unit in a very convenient area for walking. Less ideal if you have a car due to limited parking. I would have preferred a simple written info booklet instead of electronic instructions, and I didn’t use the A/C because it required watching a video. Storage was limited, so small additions like a suitcase stand, bedside lamp, and shelves in the bathroom would make the stay more comfortable.

Thank you also for the thoughtful suggestions about adding a suitcase stand, bedside lamp, and bathroom shelves. These are practical, affordable additions that would definitely improve comfort and storage, and we'll be implementing these upgrades.
This is a cute spot just steps from the Bay. My husband and I really love walking both the bay boardwalk and the beach boardwalk, this has the best of both worlds due to the location. The house was comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay here again!
