Every day begins and ends with unobstructed views of Mission Bay from this eclectic three-bedroom, two-story waterfront condo. Located directly on the Mission Bay boardwalk, this home puts the best of the beach lifestyle right outside your door. Step through the floor-to-ceiling folding glass doors and onto your private bayfront patio, where you can fire up the BBQ, gather around the fire pit, or simply relax with a glass of wine while watching paddleboarders, boats, and the sunset over the water.

When you're ready to explore, grab the provided beach chairs, umbrella, and beach gear and head out for a day on the sand or water. With the Mission Bay boardwalk directly outside and local restaurants, shops, entertainment, and Belmont Park all within walking distance, you can easily leave the car behind and enjoy everything that makes Mission Beach one of San Diego's most iconic beach communities.

Bayfront Gem Review

The only NEGATIVE thing that I have for this property is by removing the stacked washer dryer from INSIDE the house and putting a REGULAR washer dryer in the garage created a horrible problem in getting both of our vehicles in the garage. One SUV and one small sedan can fit, however we can no longer shut the garage door. I would really like to see the washer dryer moved somewhere else. This is, however, a BEAUTIFUL unit.

We loved the place and the location. Parking was a challenge as we had two cars but we were able to find parking and then walk to the place. Overall it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it for a stay on the beach.

Nice rental location. It was great for our family. It was on the bay side, and the pictures were accurate about the beach and location. We loved the boardwalk right outside the front door. Also, the ocean side is only two or three blocks away, so we did walk over there several times. It is close to many places to eat. The bay side is a bit more quiet and was enjoyable for us.

Wonderful Stay

We had an amazing stay with Drift Vacation Homes! From the very beginning, their communication was quick, helpful, and genuinely friendly. The rental was beautifully decorated, spotless, and felt very welcoming. The fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed, which made our stay incredibly convenient. We also loved that they provided beach towels and beach chairs — such a thoughtful touch. The beds were extremely comfortable, with plenty of extra bedding available. Check-in and check-out were seamless thanks to their clear and excellent communication from start to finish. The location was absolutely perfect, nestled between the bay and the beach, with a beautiful view that made our stay even more special. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Drift Vacation Homes!
