About this property

Ben's Beach Bungalow 3, Ocean View Mission Beach 1BR

Summary:
Just steps to the sand, this property is beachside of Mission Blvd and has recently been completely updated to provide you with the feel of luxury. It has a separate dining area and a full kitchen, so you always have the option of dining in or experiencing the vast array of PB restaurants and bars. But the highlight of this unit is the full ocean view from the bedroom...not many units in Mission Beach can boast this view!

The Space:
This is a second floor unit. Enter into an open L-shaped living room with a dining nook off the updated kitchen. Updated plank flooring and tile in the kitchen and bathrooms which is ideal for the beach. Smart TV with cable to meet all your needs. Kitchen is fully appointed (gas stove, oven, microwave, blender, coffee maker, toaster, and all the things to use them). Updated step in shower with lots of natural light in the bathroom. Ikea sofa sleeper in the living room converts into an over-sized full bed. Luxurious queen in the bedroom....wake up to the sights and sounds of the Pacific Ocean literally 100 steps from your window.

The Neighborhood:
Within walking distance of all Mission Beach has to offer, this charming unit is both centrally and conveniently located, yet offers the quiet comfort most look for in a vacation getaway. Best part of this location in north Mission is that you are a quick jaunt to all the nightlife, cafes and restaurants of Pacific Beach but you get to come home to the quiet of north Mission Beach.

Getting Around:
We provide a single covered parking space. It is accessed off the alley and as such can be a tight fit (as with about 90% of the parking spaces at the beach). We recommend a small- to mid-sized car to make it easier to park. We also recommend backing into the spot as that makes it easier to get in and pull out. There is free street parking available, but due to the high volume of beach-goers, don't count on parking nearby. Also be sure to read parking signs!
Looking for a unique way to get around Mission/ Pacific Beach during your stay? We've partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!

Other Things to Note:
This is "typical" beach parking so we do not recommend large cars. The spots will not accommodate anything more than a mid-size car or SUV.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

We only offer the air conditioning between May and September

Interaction with Guests:
We are a self-service destination but a full-service management company. We are just a phone call away and have agents that are almost never more than 5-10 minutes away should a need arise.

Excellent location

The location was amazing and the view from the bed was great! The place had all the necessitates. Interactions with the host were prompt and friendly. They also provided an option for us to have groceries delivered and stocked before we arrived! I would highly recommend this place and will look for properties to stay with this host again! The only thing i would recommend is a makeup mirror or another mirror in the bathroom that's easier to reach for short people!

AWESOME PLACE

We had a great vacation at this location. The place was clean and we love the neighborhood. You could see the beach from the bedroom window and everything was just a block or two away. As my title stated it is a awesome place. Thank you for allowing us to stay🥰❤️👍

Nice beach getaway

Really enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable bed. Easy access to the beach. Well equipped kitchen. Parking space is very very small (as described in the property description) …but just enough for our Toyota Camry. All the other vacation rental parking this close to the beach was the same though. Communication with property management was excellent. Prompt response with questions I had. I would absolutely stay here again. :)

Birdie at the Beach

Loved the proximity to the ocean and could hear the sound through open windows. Kitchen well equipped, bed comfortable and lots of towels. Boogie boards, sand chairs, beach towels provided. Parking was not usable - garbage cans blocking turn in and just too narrow to allow use. Street parking difficult especially on Sunday.

Great gem - stay four houses away from the Pacific

This is a very quiet apartment a block from the ocean, though in a very lively neighborhood. Best of both worlds. It offers all amenities you could wish for, including all kinds of beach gear (except for a washer). It is very clean, and nicely furnished, so you immediately feel at home. I also worked part-time, which went very well. Communication with Aaron is very efficient - he is extremely responsive and solves whatever minor issues there might be. I even got coffee restocked promptly, when I had asked where to buy.

Ben’s Beach Bungalow 3

The unit was just as described and pictured. It was exactly what we were looking for. A perfect location, and the one-bedroom layout allowed us breathing space and a place to get a few minutes of work done. Also the bed was really comfortable! We especially appreciated the attentiveness of the management company throughout our stay. It was a great guest experience!

Good Find

This property is what we have been looking for in the Pacific / Mission Beach area. It was exactly what was advertised and in the center of what we like to do. Clean comfortable and during the week, quite. The Host is the best communicator seen to date on VRBO.

Great communication & location

We enjoyed San Diego, and our stay at this property. Steps to the beach with lots of food options near by. The grocery, Ralph’s is just blocks away, making it easy to get essentials. There were all the basic spices, and coffee to get you started. Clean and comfortable! Above all the communication was terrific. During our stay we needed help with the internet and received immediate response. Very professional!

Perfect home base on the beach!

This was the perfect home base for a beach vacation! There were so many thoughtful details that made it a delightful experience from start to finish! Our host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed in such a prompt, organized, and professional fashion! Really appreciated the well-equipped bathroom and kitchen setups, as well as the closet full of beach gear! We flew in and couldn't bring much with us, so this was so nice!!! And the location!!! It doesn't get any better than this! Literally a minute walk to the beach, and a beautiful view of it from the bedroom! The outdoor faucet for rinsing off sand was also super handy! Lastly, if any ladies are experiencing their "shark week" during their stay, I cannot emphasize how much having a really nice bathroom so close to the beach really is a lifesaver!

Location is everything!

This unit was perfectly located and the roar of the ocean provided a perfect soundtrack. It's so close I couldn't resist popping out for multiple walks just to see the gorgeous views and the entertainment of the varied and amusing ways people choose to cruise the beach walk. Hosts were highly responsive, though I didn't have any issues during my stay. Clean and fully equipped, the unit is homey and comfortable. The couch was a bit uncomfortable as cushion tends to collapse in when sitting, but I wasn't home much. Also, beware: the garage space is more than tight for parking.

Fabulous stay

I hesitate to provide a review as we would love to keep this “gem” to ourselves! The unit is exactly as advertised; clean, very close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We used the well stocked kitchen for a quick and convenient breakfast. However, that didn’t deter us from strolling along the boardwalk each morning with a coffee from Saltwater Culture. Or indulging in local ice cream each evening as we walked along the pier to watch the dolphins and surfers. We appreciated the “quiet time” policy as it allowed us to get a dreamy night sleep, listening to the sound of the ocean. We are already looking at our calendar to plan a September stay 😊

Close to everything and easy to find

Very close to the beach. The picture of the beach from the bedroom does not do this rental justice. You can easily hear and smell the ocean from the bedroom and bathroom. The property manager has just the right amount of communication. Easy to get in touch with. Ralph's is right up the road. Lots of things to see within walking distance. Close to airport, two AMC theaters, Petco Park, and Air and Space Museum. Make sure you rent the smallest car possible. The end of Mission Beach has an amusement park. Pacific Beach Crystal Pier is incredible. Lots of surfers and beach goers taking in the sunset.
