Excellent property
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. It is one of the nicest and well kept places we have rented. The property had the best kitchen and cooking supplies. We were also surprised at the amount of paper products in the unit for our use. I would highly recommend this property.

Best vacation spot ever!
This place is a dream. The location is perfection, it's in a quieter part of Mission Bay, so serene and lovely. The house layout is great for families with the kids' rooms sharing a bath and the adults having their own lovely suite with a balcony. Everything was clean, house was well stocked with cooking basics and cleaning items. The outdoor shower was such a bonus to keep sand out of the house. It's rare to rent a place that has adequate knives and cookware—we like to make most of our meals and the knives were abundant and sharp, the cookware very nice and high quality (in fact I might buy some for my own home!). It was hard not to just sit on the patio all day, this was the most relaxing vacation I've ever had and we will certainly be back. Thank you!!
Very well maintained house in an amazing location. Great kitchen and amenities, well worth it!

Fabulous Bayside Vacation
We loved this clean spacious home with fabulous bay views. We enjoyed waking up to the calm bay life with the beach less than a block away. We enjoyed markets around the corner. The entire experience was seamless and we enjoyed our time here for a long Easter weekend. The house had everything we expected and would love to stay here again.
I had a great time visiting friends in San Diego and staying in this awesome property right on the sand on Mission Beach - Bayside!I love the south end of Mission Beach on the bayside because it is lovely and quiet. This property was right where I like to be - great view every morning drinking my coffee on the patio.I'll be back!

Thank you so much for your great review, Mary! We assume the 4 star review was intended to be a 5 star since there were no complaints :)
Great location, great lay out. Unfortunately weather was not great so we didn't make use of all the amenities like paddle board, beach chairs, etc.

Mission Beach Stay
The property and property management team were both perfect for our stay I wouldn't have changed a thing. When we come back we'll definitely book through you again. Thank you!
This was by far one of the nicest vacations we have had as a family. This house was EVERYTHING. Clean, Safe, Accommodating, Perfect Location AND if you love the sand and water it’s literally steps from your door. Nightly Fireworks. Drift Vacation Homes was amazing. Answered all my questions and even referred us to BabyQuip which saved us from having to haul a trunk load of baby equipment. I can’t say enough about this home and Drift Vacations. We will certainly be back soon. Thank you for making our trip and time together so seamlessly easy and perfect!!!!

Great beach condo at the southern end of the Mission Bay boardwalk. Great views. Well stocked house with all the amenities. Very comfortable for our family of four. Noise from upstairs tenants was definitely noticeable, but is to be expected in close quarters of Beach living. We would rent again!

We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay. We'd love to have you back!
Our family really enjoyed our stay! The property is beautiful, and the location was perfect for our family! Little walking distance to some restaurants and coffee but the tradeoff is the quite location and having a great park (with parking) nearby. Owners have thought of everything for a great stay. We were even surprised to have access to a kayak and paddle board. Can't wait to book another stay at On the Sand!

Thank you so much for your great review, Tammy! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the house so much. Come back soon!
This is a great house on the quiet end of Mission Beach/Bay. It was the perfect location for our family who enjoys fishing near the channel, boogie boarding in the ocean and paddle boarding in the bay. The house was well equipped and spacious. We will definitely be returning.
This is the second time my family has stayed at this property and we love it. The bay is quiet and peaceful with the clean, sandy beach right off of the patio. When we want a little more action, we just walk a few blocks over to Belmont Park. The owners are very easy to communicate with and it’s just an all around enjoyable spot to stay in San Diego!

Perfect Beach House
Totally exceeded our expectations. The home was wonderful. Swell Team was beyond wonderful too. We just loved it all! Planning another trip next year and coming back here! What a great experience.
If you are looking for a quiet beach front location look no further. Staying on Mission Bay is wonderful for easy walk out access to the sand and gentle water of the bay. Great people watching as walkers, joggers and bikers cruise along the boardwalk. The house had everything you need to enjoy the beach, and the house was clean and well appointed. Parking available in the garage was great to have, but small/mid-size cars only. Highly recommend this house for any gathering, especially families with young children. Lots of beach toys for the kids and the bay is ideal for the young ones to splash away in the gentle water. Love Mission Beach and this house only highlights what to love.
