About this property

Steps to the water on both sides!! Mango Tango

Very small (under 400 sq ft) & cozy 1 bedroom located in the heart of San Diego's most famous beach community. Just steps to Mission Bay, the beach, the Boardwalk and Belmont Park, Only 1.5 blocks to the beach, and only two doors from the Bay! Only has 1 queen bed and a very small sofa for a small child.

Please note, this is literally the center of Mission Beach, less than a block from Belmont Park, which is great, but expect a lot of people, noise and traffic congestion especially during spring & summer.

This home is a tastefully designed one-bedroom with a full kitchen that can sleep three. Our beach apt features a queen-sized bed and couch. The kitchen is equipped for cooking, and amenities include free Wi-Fi, and Apple TV. Unfortunately there is NO PARKING.

Photos were taken in 2015. Please expect normal wear and tear over that time period. Furniture and furnishings may be different than pictured as items are replaced and updated.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Honeymoon Getaway

I rented this property for my daughter's honeymoon. Drew was fantastic to work with and was prompt with returning any correspondence. The property is in a great location. Close to beaches, food and entertainment. My daughter and her new husband had a great time exploring the area and enjoying the week together.

Perfect location!

This property is great if you don’t want to rent a car. It’s within walking distance of everything. It’s definitely small, but exactly as described. I also loved that they provided towels and beach toys. I would absolutely come back.

Here for work

Stayed here one week. Clean, very nice accommodations. I could hear the neighbors upstairs walking around and opening doors while I was trying to sleep but I turned on white noise and it tuned them out well. I would recommend staying here.

This property was less than 5 minutes from the beach! It was small but very cute. It served its purpose well. Unfortunately with how cold it was the directions on how to use the heater(s) were not very helpful. We had to blanket up a bit more than expected. Would stay here again though.

Boys trip

Met basic expectations! Did not have any interior mats or a bath matt! Towels were really musty and stinky! I would use white so they can be bleached! Couch was very small and uncomfortable for my son to sleep on!

The house was just what we needed for two of us on a honeymoon! It was in walking distance to everything we needed (shops, stores, restaurants, laundromat) which was perfect, as we did not have a car. There’s a ton of beach stuff that came in handy! We stayed about two weeks so we did some cooking at the house. We were able to easily get groceries delivered and the house was equipped with the few essential cooking items we needed! The host was very attentive! We had a few unexpected last minute changes and the hosts worked so well with us!

Good location and clean. We did not end up staying and got a hotel and ended up eating the cost because of no AC and the windows didn't open. We didn't want to leave the patio door open because it on high pedestrian traffic street. The unit would benefit from AC particularly during the summer months.

Mission Beach 2025

The Mango Tango is a diamond in the rough. Centrally located in the heart of Mission Beach one would think noise and traffic. Quite the opposite. The property was clean, quiet and has all things necessary for a short or long term stay for one person, a couple, or a small family!

A bad experience got worse!

The VRBO property at Mission Beach was a BIG disappointment! It was cold when we arrived and the power went out early the next morning when trying to usebthe drip coffee-maker. I attempted to contact the owner without success so we left!
