Gorgeous Cottage... The Perfect place to be at the Beach.
* Note - If this property is booked, or does not suite your needs, please see my other Mission Bay Rentals - VRBO #379170 and #657994
INTERIOR DETAILS
This cozy cottage has a casual, beachy feel with vintage touches throughout. The original wooden floors and open layout give the home plenty of character, while the large kitchen makes it easy to gather for meals.
The kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a freestanding island, along with all the basics you’ll need to cook most meals at home.
The lounge is open and relaxed, with slipcovered sofa and armchairs, chandeliers for a touch of charm, a freestanding gas fireplace, and a Smart TV with YouTubeTV included.
Each of the two bedrooms features a queen bed with soft linens and down bedding to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep.
The bathroom, located between the bedrooms, has a vintage-style vanity, tub/shower combo, and simple tile finishes.
Exterior Details
A private wooden deck and surrounding palm trees create a laid-back outdoor space. The deck has a dining table with seating for six, umbrella for shade, barbecue patio, and ambient lighting for evenings outside.
This is a relaxed, lived-in beach cottage. Perfect for guests who appreciate comfort, charm, and an easygoing coastal vibe.
The cottage is located in the ideal location, one house away from the bay and a 2 min walk to the ocean. Close to many restaurants, bars, shopping but private enough to have your own space.
The property has parking for one small vehicle in a free standing garage. Free street parking is generally available 1-4 blocks from the property if you have a second car or if your car does not fit in the garage. There are maps in the information binder that can help you find parking.
Please note that on holidays and summer weekends, parking is difficult and you may have to park 5-8 blocks away if your car doesn't fit in the garage.
Everyone wants to be at the beach! :)
Air Conditioning is mini-split unit located in the main living area. With the use of fans, it keeps the cottage cool most of the year. It can still get hot during a heat wave.
FYI... Only about 1% of the properties in Mission Beach have central Air Conditioning.

About the host
Hosted by Molly McCrackin
I was born in England and Ivey, my husband in South Africa. We moved to The States 23 years ago and have called it home ever since,. We live in Solana Beach, have two children of 21 and 17 and two Jack Russell Terriers.
We love outdoor sports/activities adventure and travel and combine all on trips as often as possible.
We have two other vacation rental 379170, which is next door to this listing and 657994 on Pismo Court which we also completely remodeled. I love the whole process from demo through to interior decor and am hands on at every stage. I hope it shows how much thought I put into you having the perfect place to stay while visiting Mission Beach.
I hope my mission will be accomplished.
Have a wonderful stay.

Why they chose this property
I wanted this cottage at first sight. It had such 'lovely bones' and I was fortunate enough to be able to demo and then nurture into the most adorable place. It is located next door to our other vacation rental VRBO # 379170.
What makes this property unique
Restored beautiful old wooden floors add to the charm of the cottage.
