About this property

Charming Beach Bungalow steps from the Ocean & Bay

Footsteps to the sand on the bay or the ocean! Enjoy staying in your own romantic, private beach bungalow.

The beach house is 15 seconds (25 yards) by foot to Sail Bay and 2 minutes (100 yards) by foot to the Pacific Ocean.

This bright and cheery, immaculate beach bungalow has all the amenities of home on a bayside court of Mission Beach and Bay. It is surrounded by beautiful Mission Bay on one side and the magnificent Pacific Ocean on the other, both with incredible white sand beaches.

The Oceanfront Boardwalk and Bayfront Walk wrap all around Mission Beach and Mission Bay for leisurely walks and bike riding for several miles. Rentals available down the block.

Enjoy the relaxing bayside environment on the deck with a BBQ. This bungalow has a fully equipped kitchen with all the essentials. As well as a gas grill on patio.

Enjoy spectacular views while strolling on the Bayfront Walk or the Ocean Boardwalk, ending up at one of the many eateries for a leisurely breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Sunbathe, swim or surf at the beach. Rent a jet-ski, boat or paddle board for a fun relaxing day on the bay. Enjoy a sightseeing cruise around the bay on the three decker Paddlewheel Steamboat starting at the Catamaran Hotel, on Sail Bay. Stroll down to the Roller Coaster at Belmont Amusement Park on the ocean.

Just a few of the many things to do on foot from the bungalow...

Free wireless Internet. TV with streaming

1 parking space behind the bungalow for a medium sized car

Great location, needs some love

Great location. Really close to ocean and bay beaches, waterfront trails, restaurants, groceries, coffee shops - pretty much everything!Unit had everything we needed. Inside, doorknobs need replacing - we struggled to get in and out of the bedroom and bathroom! Overall, a good stay for our week in SD. Thank you!

Amazing bungalow!

Such a great spot for a getaway! The bungalow is small but clean and very comfortable. Loved the patio out back and the beach chairs — it’s literally maybe a 15 second walk from the beach and 3-5 minutes to delicious restaurants. There’s a washer/dryer as well as a hose for rinsing off before going in the house. Cory was very accommodating of an evening checkout for a reasonable price, which I really appreciated. Would stay again!

This was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay during our honeymoon. We went to the beach, and spent lots of time on the bay. Cory texted before our stay and was very kind. We didnt have any issues during our stay. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you Cory!

Adorable little cottage. The location was perfect. Fast easy walk to bay or beach! The home was very clean had what you needed for the stay. Can get a little noisy at times but overall not bad enough that would make your stay terrible.( I hate noisy locations.) I would rent this home again.

For a small/tiny house, this is very well thought out inside. Everything is purposeful and decorated nicely. The master bed inside the room makes it a little tight but that would be my only gripe and not really because the bed was very comfortable. host was very good about communicating and our stay was perfect.

Wonderful stay.

This is a wonderful place to stay and super close to the beach and bay. The house comes with everything you need to cook at home while vacationing, just bring your own food!! My only complaint is the bed needs replaced. There is a body impression pretty bad on one side of the bed but for the price I’ll still give the place 5 stars.

About the host

Hello, We are San Diego natives that always dreamed to own a beach Property and now we do. We'd like to share our dream with you. Hope you enjoy your stay at our bungalow!

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this property is it is located on the narrowest part of the strand between the Pacific Ocean & Mission Bay. Which means you're steps from the sand in either direction.
