Well-kept place a stone’s throw away from the beach

The place was really nice to stay in and had what we needed for our weekend getaway. I appreciated the beach accessories that it had in the garage and would stay again. The host was very communicative, completing our nice San Diego stay.

Family Getaway

Had wonderful time and house had everything we needed and more. Great location and bikes were a plus. Only drawback was parking situation, definitely not getting 2 cars in the garage with all the bicycles in there and good luck finding a parking spot no matter the time of day for a 2nd vehicle.

Lovely place for a girls trip!

The house is as described. We all slept comfortably on the beds. Some things worn down and a little dirty (I can imagine it’s hard to ever fully get the sand out ever) overall we loved the location and had a wonderful stay!

Mission Beach

Thank you for the accommodations! We really enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect! We would highly recommend your place to anyone. We typically stay closer to Belmont, but really liked this location due to the beach not being as packed. The walks to Belmont Park were just the right distance to enjoy the sunsets and ocean breeze. Thanks again for making our stay easy and breezy!

Excellent stay

In the process of moving. We stayed at the beach house for 3 days once we moved out of our home. Location was good, only downside was parking is a challenge. This unit does have a two car garage but you will need to have extremely small cars in order to fit anything in the small garage. Other than parking it was great.

Nice!

This home was perfect for my husband and and I and our 5 adult kids! The layout allowed for great privacy yet good family time. The location was perfect - directly between the ocean and bay. The home was very clean and well equipped for all needs from the kitchen supplies (enough cups, plates, silverware etc.), to the accessories for the beach (towels, chairs, boogie boards and sand toys if you have little ones). We enjoyed the bikes as well. There are plenty of rental (uber and lyft) bikes and scooters around should you need more transportation. It took us a while to realize that there was a shower outside the garage and it quickly became a huge hit with the kids - it had warm water! The garage was a tight fit for two mid-size cars, but overall, we never had an issue with parking. We only had one question for the owner during our stay and he was very responsive. We would definitely stay again!

Our family of four and two dogs loved this place! Such a great space and walkable to both beach and bay. The place was so clean and we really appreciated the thoughtful details like toothbrush holders and nightlights in the bathrooms. The owner was so quick to respond to messages and checkin was a breeze. The beds were super comfy with really soft sheets and the huge TV was clutch to watch baseball playoffs. We used the bikes and beach chairs almost every day and my son had fun with the football. Everything we needed was right there, it was perfect! Our Nissan Pathfinder fit in the garage just fine. Just a 10 min walk to a couple of coffee shops and a 10 min drive to Dog Beach. So much fun, we will definitely stay here again!

Seaside stay

This is a beautiful home, Located one block away from the beach. The local beach is very family friendly. Parking can be tough, this is a very congested area with lots of travelers. The home does have a garage to park in, but if you drive a full size SUV, it will not fit in the garage. The property has some beach, chairs, umbrellas, and other cool toys to enjoy.

Family Staycation

We enjoyed every minute at this home! Very comfortable and clean. So close to the beach and bay. Great outdoor patio for grilling and morning coffee. The beds are so comfy. A big dining room table is perfect for meals and games. We’re a big games family. Bikes, chairs, umbrella’s, boogie boards etc. were all available and we were so grateful they were provided. We grew up in the area and have since moved inland so it was so nice to go to old haunts on the bikes. Sunrise over the bay and sunset over the ocean made for beautiful photos. An altogether delightful beach house, we wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks so much to Bradley for the perfect weekend getaway.

Best time ever!

We rented Bradley’s beautiful home for my son’s graduation and were pleasantly surprised at how perfect the location was and beautiful the home was. Bikes were definitely a perk that we were so appreciative to have and the bbq and patio was perfect to celebrate with the family. We would absolutely stay again!!

Beautiful Home away from Home

We had an amazing time, and staying in a home like this during our vacation made it all the better! The house was clean when we arrived, and had all the necessities we needed! The beds were comfortable, towels were nice, the kitchen supplied all the things we needed. There was more than enough space and we loved spending time on the different outdoor spaces. We loved having access to a garage and washer/dryer, the bikes and beach items provided were great. I will say, we were expecting beach chairs and not camping chairs, so we maybe would have brought our own had we known that- that is just our preference :) Thank you, Brad for being a great and easy to talk to host! We hope to stay again one day!

Family-friendly beach house

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Mission Beach! It was a prime location with great beach access. We were not actually here for the beach but rather a great spot in San Diego, and this place was perfect for that, too! Easy drive to Carlsbad and also to downtown San Diego. Great for our large family! Thank you for the hospitality! Parking can be a little tricky. The city was working on the roads during our stay so the garage could not be accessed. Fortunately there was a free lot within a short walking distance. We would definitely return! The host was very helpful and responsive.

Why they chose this property

For years, we have spent much of our time in South Mission Beach and love every aspect of it. Our home is in one of the best locations on the strip given its proximity to the beach, bay, jetty and many of the local attractions. We have been familiar with this property for years and were ecstatic when it came on the market in Summer 2015. We can't wait to enjoy it with friends, family and last but not least, our guests!

What makes this property unique

Unique architecture, floorplan, coziness, views to the bay and jetty/inlet, amenities and location makes this a wonderful beach getaway.
