About this property
Right On The Beach! Exquisitely Remodeled 2BR/2BA . Perfect For Families.
Enjoy our completely remodeled and tastefully appointed 2-bedroom 2-bathroom waterfront home as a fun family adventure or a quiet getaway. Our home is located on the exclusive, and peaceful Santa Barbara Cove bayside beach, as opposed to the crowded, and noisy Oceanside of Mission Beach. From your cozy beach retreat, you will experience some of the finest panoramic views of famous Mission Bay. Absolutely perfect for children - You can step from your very spacious patio directly onto the fine beach sand of Mission Bay, and not have to worry about crossing a street. ‘Bayside Walk’ is right at your doorstep (One of the most scenic walking and biking trails in Southern California that curves gently around Mission Bay). If you are looking to enjoy big ocean waves and the hustle and bustle of Mission Beach, it is only a 5-minute stroll away.
Start your day relaxing inside or outside with a cup of coffee and watch a beautiful Bay sunrise. During the day, take advantage of 19 miles of sandy beaches, 14 miles of bike paths, a network of channels, islands, coves and wildlife preserves, including so many recreational activities that you could easily spend all your time at the bay without having to think about driving your car! When the sun goes down, fire up the BBQ, and look out over the blissfully quiet beach, and the tranquil calm water of the bay. Before you turn in, enjoy a grand view of the explosive and spectacular SeaWorld fireworks (seasonal) right from your own patio.
The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and is fitted with fine linens. There is a flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable and various streaming services that you can use with your own account. The bathroom is en-suite and has a single vanity and a large shower. You will enjoy stunning views of Mission Bay from your bed or walk out of the bedroom sliding door onto your patio that spills out directly to the beach.
The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a full-size bed (2 people) on the bottom and a twin-size bed (1 person) on the top. Fine linens are provided for all beds. There is a flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable and various streaming services that you can use with your own account. The bathroom is en-suite and has a single vanity and a large shower. There is a large walk-in closet that leads off the bedroom.
The living room has a full-sized sofa bed and accompanying fine linens. There is a large flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable, and premium home theater surround sound stereo.
The kitchen is fully appointed with cooking, serving and dining ware. It has granite tops and high-end appliances including a professional Dacor stove top, convection oven, microwave oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
The dining area has a table that will seat 6 people comfortably. A wet bar with granite top is attached to the dining area.
There is a separate laundry room inside the house, that has a washer and dryer.
High-Speed wireless internet is provided throughout the house and will also work on the patio and beach in front of the home.
There is an off-street tandem parking space (2 spaces total). Note that the tandem bay was originally built at a time when vehicles were a little smaller, so if you have 2 full-sized SUV’s, they will not both fit into the bay. However, 1 full-sized SUV or truck and 1 small car will fit into the bay.
Please Note that if you are looking for a larger home, we also have a 3-bedroom 3-bathroom sister property that sleeps 8 and is in exactly the same location. Please go to www.vrbo.com/514308 This larger home has undergone a complete remodel from top to bottom.
Belmont Park's historic rollercoaster, Crystal Pier, the trendy, funky shops, cafes, restaurants, and nightlife of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach are your neighborhood destinations.
Easy access to San Diego County's most popular attractions including SeaWorld, the World-Famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Seaport Village, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Downtown San Diego, Coronado, Del Mar and much more.

About the host
Hosted by Grant McKinstry
My name is Grant McKinstry and I live in San Diego with my wife Karin and our 2 children.
The 'Beach House', as we like to call it, was purchased as a second home for our personal use and is only 20 minutes from our primary residence. It is our home away from home and we have furnished and appointed it as a comfortable and relaxing place to enjoy with family and friends. We outfitted the Beach House in such a way that we can jump in the car and go to without having to think about packing much besides our clothes. We try to use the Beach House ourselves as often as possible, but with the competing priorities associated with family life there are times when we cannot use it, and therefore look to share it with others.
My wife Karin and I actively manage all aspects of this property ourselves, as we quickly discovered that property management companies do not measure up to our high standards for cleanliness, personal communication and organization.
We feel very fortunate to be able to have a second home in this wonderful place that has so much to offer, in a neighborhood of people who are always friendly, welcoming, and happy. Waking up every morning with a beach on your doorstep will do that to you!

Why they chose this property
Mission Bay is a premier location in San Diego, with 19 miles of sandy beaches, 14 miles of bike paths, a network of channels, islands, coves and wildlife preserves, and a huge number of recreational activities right on your doorstep.
The panoramic views of Mission Bay are spectacular. Whether you are watching the sunrise in the morning, the sail boats that glide back and forth in front of the house throughout the day, looking out over the blissfully quiet beach and mirror-like calm waters of the bay at sunset, or watching the explosive Seaworld fireworks at night.
When we purchased this property our kids were much younger, and the close and easy proximity to the beach was a major factor. They were able to walk right out of the patio gate and onto the beach without crossing a road. When they were playing on the beach, we could actually keep an eye on them from the patio, or from inside the house. We are a family who love water sports and it is extremely convenient to be able to ‘park’ a Hobie Cat, recreational boat or kayak on the beach right in front of your home.
We were looking for a home in a quiet and safe neighborhood, and Mission Bay is one of the only beach communities in Southern California that offers this. If we want to spend time on the livelier and noisier boardwalk and Mission Beach, it is only 2 small blocks away.
Parking at any beach city in Southern California can be problematic. As a result, we wanted the ability to be able to park our car at the Beach House and not have to drive anywhere. Our location puts us within walking, biking or skateboarding distance of many restaurants, shops and recreational activities that we might need.
