Lovely, quiet, and clean property in an ideal location. Walk to coffee shops or two beaches - one on the bay and one on the ocean. Plenty of room and we felt right at home.

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.
Amazing spot, walk to everything: restaurants, Belmont park, ocean side beaches, fit our family of 4 perfectly. Clean house & comfortable beds, small but great outdoor patio.
Responsive to our needs. Beautifully appointed condo just what we were needing for a relaxing family trip.

Great place! Great location!
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.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us, Julie. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
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.
we had a nice stay here. Great location, close to everything. One thing the place could use is more privacy drapes on the slider downstairs.

Amazing location
You cannot beat the location. The master bedroom was a favorite with the Jaccuzi bathtub and huge walk in closet. The view from the bed was lovely to wake up to each morning.

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!
The location was perfect, great accomodations, perfect appliances, outdoor eating area with a firepit and just step out and enjoy the bay. When we return to San Diego we will see if this unit is available first.

We did a girls weekend. Great location within walking distance to everything we needed. Loved being on the bay. Home had everything we needed and was clean and well appointed.
We had a wonderful vacation. You can walk to the ocean and to many restaurants. The master suite is beautiful with an amazing view with a balcony. The host was very responsive and definitely met our needs.
Great home, clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for our family of four to sleep and hosted 7 for Thanksgiving dinner. Kitchen is well equipped, linens are fresh and new. Amazing location and views of Mission Bay. We will stay here again.
