We had an amazing stay! The house was perfect for the 6 of us. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and there were beach chairs and tons of sand toys for the kids. The location was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be back!

Amazing family stay. Beautiful nautical theme and great location right on the beach. My favorite place I’ve ever stayed at in San Diego. The owner was super helpful with our stay and getting baby equipment delivered. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Great location!

We loved how close it was to shops, coffee and restaurants in the area. Short bike ride down to Belmont Park and quick walk to the beach side as well. Our kids loved the bunk beds and being right on the bay water!

Location is great in mission beach. Owner was quick to respond when we didn’t have access to the check in information, as well as a question from usThe property is dated a bit, but overall the only real “concern” was the cleanliness. We ended up having to vacuum a good bit when we got there (giant rug in living room had some leftover snacks under it), and clean up some surfaces like the secondary bath. Overall I think the property was a great location and worked well for us.

We had an amazing time. The condo was perfect for what we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. Location was perfect because it was nice and quiet on the bay side, but a quick walk to the ocean side, we saw the Sea World summer fireworks every night. Cannot say enough good things. We would definitely book here again.

The location was fantastic on Mission Bay. Wake up, set up chairs and umbrellas. Paddleboard, kayak, bike, or go surfing at Mission Beach. Didn't move the cars the whole time. Met the owner very nice a gracious host. We had a great time will do it again.

Amazing property

Everything about this property was exactly as advertised and excellent. The location is PERFECT. It is on the bay side, and more relaxing and quiet than Mission Beach, yet you are steps away from the Mission Beach boardwalk, restaurants, and shops. The owner was very kind and helpful. We loved our stay!

We had a wonderful time stating at Carolyn’sProperty. The location between the beach and the bay was fantastic. Our family of 5 had plenty of room and the air conditioning and water and dryer could not be beat. The kitchen had all of the supplies you could imagine and what a pleasant surprise to sit outside and view fireworks every evening. It was a pleasure to stay here and if we come back to mission beach we would definitely stay again. Thanks Carolyn!!!

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Benson

Host profile image
Born in San Diego, married a farmer from Imperial Valley and quickly learned where to spend our family summers!
This Bayfront property was purchased in 2000, demolished with completion of 3 wonderful condos in 2005. (The 3rd level condo is not available for rent.)

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! I love the day time action - watching sport, dog walkers on the grass & sand; and in the water the paddle boarders, sailboats, jet skis, seems something new is added each year. Just steps away on Santa Clara Point you can rent water "toys" for all ages...from boogie boards to party boats with hot tub! Evenings & nights are magical from sunset to sunrise - from cloud watching with changing colors to moon rise & reflecting lights across the bay. The view will be a lasting memory whether with family or friend!
