The location of this property was the highlight! Looking out at the ocean from my front room was an amazing bonus. They were only two of us so the small space was not an issue. The location is very close to restaurants and has its own dedicated parking space which is a bonus! The hosts were very responsive when I had an issue and gave personalized attention. Would recommend.

It was a perfect spot for us. We were right on ocean walk. Restaurants at both ends of the beach. Grocery store walkable. Just a lovely spot.

We had a lovely time at Sarina and Luke’s property. The hosts are incredibly organized, and we loved the welcoming touch of a complimentary bottle of wine. A special shoutout to Sarina for her lightning-fast response when we needed help with the propane tank for the new grill—thanks to her, dinner was a huge success. This property is a true gem and a absolute must-stay!

We had the absolute best time at the Beach Cottage! The location was perfect, the bed was comfortable, and the outside sitting area was amazing. We cooked most nights, and it has everything you need to make a delicious meal. We loved that the sliding glass doors make for a lovely breeze throughout the day. The location is PERFECT and communication with the host was great. Check in and out was easy, we will definitely be back!

Location, location, location. If you want to be on the beach this is it. Wife and I talked last night about how many people we saw on the boardwalk. All different kinds of people and the regulars like SLO-MO, Jay Ondo (boxing gloves guy). It was exactly what we needed. We walked to the grocery store which is about a mile away and restaurants that were close. Hosts were friendly and available. If we get back to this part of Mission Beach we will definitely stay here again. Thank you MBM

Fantastic View

The location and view is perfect for people watching. We have stayed at the property before and each time it does not disappoint. Sarina (property manager) is great.. always very responsive. Would highly recommend any of the 4 units on the property.

PERFECT Spot

I have been going to Mission Beach since before I can remember with my family. My grandparents owned a condo on Oceanfront Walk so it turns out I'm a real beach snob =P. This place was the PERFECT spot!!! The location, the deck, the layout, everything was AWESOME!!! The bed & couch were also very comfortable! We will definitely be back! Thank you Mission Beach Management for a wonderful experience!!!

Nearly Perfect

We couldn't get closer to the ocean! Being right on the Mission Breach boardwalk was fun. You'll love it if you're a people watcher. The cottage was as advertised - clean, sufficiently stocked, basic, and small. For the money, we couldn't have had a better location. We would definitely stay in this cottage again.

Amazing cottage on the beach

Had the opportunity to take my 5 year old on a father son trip to San Diego . We had the most amazing time. The cottage was clean and the location couldn’t be any closer to the water. Sand toys in the car port, chairs , and a small umbrella and beach towels . The management team communicated with any all allQuestion . Full equipped with dishes, cups silverware everything we needed. Definitely going to stay there again.

Cozy property

Had an amazing stay here. Everything you could need was provided. Plenty of storage for myself. More than 2 people might be a little cramped but doable. If you are looking for luxury this is not it, however, for me it was extremely cozy and clean. Perfect location. Lock box was a little sticky. May want to switch to a pin pad door lock for ease of entry. Would definitely book again.

LOCATION - LOCATION- LOCATION

This is a great place for 2 people with front row to ocean and people watching all day. Could not be closer to water. Close to shops and grocery store. We enjoyed our stay. Did get our propane tank stolen but on us for not locking it up. We stayed 7 nights so had a few extra amenities with us like own pillows, pots and pans was great, as house had the amenities you needed but we do a lot of VBRO places and never know you will get. Would stay again and recommend. Second time in the yellow cottages.

What a location!

We really enjoyed not only the beach access of course, but the small town feel Mission Beach provided. We were able to walk to local shops and necessities. The parking is very cramped so make sure to get a small car. The house is literally on the boardwalk which was fun to people watch right from the couch. Perfect place to stay in San Diego. The only negatives were the bed was terrible, which is typical for a rental. Also some check out rules, such as doing some maid work (starting laundry and dishwasher) and (really weird) return the TV to a specific channel or get a fine.

Too Small

Couldn’t ask for a better location. However the house is so small & the tiny one bedroom had a full size bed in it that was just the frame & mattress! No box spring. A dresser at the end of the bed that there was no way you could us it because you couldn’t even stand in front of it to open the drawers & then there is the huge tv mounted on the wall of this tiny bedroom I felt like I was laying on the floor almost trying to watch tv it felt like sitting in the front row of a movie theater.& the living room has a broke down sectional where two teenage boys had to sleep with a small TV That had something going wrong with it

You cant beat the view!! The house is so close to the beach, it made taking 3 kids to the beach a breeze! The shower outside is very convenient for removing sand. Loved having access to laundry especially with the kids. We walked everywhere to shop and eat since the house is so close to everything. This was our 2nd time staying here and we will be coming back next year!! Thank you for making this home away from home
