We loved being right on the ocean. It was a great location and had enough room for the extended family. We really liked that 3 of the rooms had their own private bathrooms, which is nice for couples. We would totally come back!

We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed one of our vacation homes in MIssion Beach, the stunning views, and had a great experience with our team at Bluewater. It’s always our goal to provide memorable stays, and your kind words mean a lot to us. We would love to host you again in the future. Thanks for choosing Bluewater Vacation Homes!
The property was exactly as advertised. The management company gets extra points as there was a problem with the primary bed in the bedroom on the first night. They sent over a qualified technician (Mark), first thing the next day and solved the problem. The views are perfect and the decks are large. The unit is large, spacious and well laid out. The kitchen utensils are well above average and appropriate for a luxury property at this price point. We were there during the hottest week of the year and the lack of AC was not an issue as there is plenty of screened windows/doors and well-functioning ceiling fans. We had a great stay.

Thank you very much for your review. It was our pleasure to host you. Please reach out to us when planning your next trip to San Diego.
The host was welcoming and accommodating. The condo was beautiful, very clean and well stocked with dishes, beach towels and other beach supplies. The garage was actually bigger than expected based on the description, some of those Mission Beach garages can be tiny. Overall one of the best places I have stayed in the area over the years, I look forward to renting it again!

The ocean views were great. There are almost 30 stairs to get in, the cleanliness was just ok, dirty rugs, bathroom sinks leak, and both the front door and garage door locks were in bad condition and difficult to use.
