Great house and great location- steps to the sand and close to lots of great restaurants. The alleyways were a little confusing at first (Google really wanted us to do some dicey things) but once we picked some landmarks it was so great to have a garage spot!! The house was more than we needed, but it was nice to have so much space; and it would definitely be perfect for 2-3 families/ a big group. The neighborhood was friendly (lots of rentals, ymmv) and while we were anxious about the remodel construction a few doors down, it was no big deal (again, different stages of work may be more disruptive, ymmv). Good communication, easy instructions, and a lovely clean and well appointed home!

Thank you for the great review. We're glad the location, short walk to the beach, nearby restaurants, and the garage spot made your stay easier. It's great the home had plenty of space for your group and that our communication and check-in instructions were clear. Sorry the alleyways and Google routing were confusing — we'll update our directions and add landmarks to the check-in guide to help future guests avoid any dicey routes. We appreciate the note about the nearby remodel; construction can vary by stage, and we'll monitor it and note it for future guests. Thank you for choosing Coast Vacation Homes; we hope to welcome you back.

Absolutely loved everything about the property as well as the location. The boardwalk was so convenient to travel for food and drink as well as being less than a block from the beach.

Perfect property for our short beach getaway with family. The property was ideally located less than 100 steps from the beach. With small children in tow, we didn't have to battle beach parking, and we could easily go back and forth to the property when needed. It was well appointed with several beach toys, cookware, towels, etc. Overall, a 10/10 stay, and we would book again.

Good location, house looks like pictures. Could use some upper deck furniture for sitting and dining

Place is nice. Well kept. Well stocked. Property management is very responsive to any issues. Bottom deck is a little tight with all vegetation but if you like privacy it’s very good. Upper deck is awesome but need a small high top table and chairs so you can enjoy the view. The lounge chairs are really not something I can think are very usable.

The property was in a great location. Everything was as indicated in the house. We had 6 people and there plenty of room. Plenty of beach chairs and towels. Also had a couple boogie boards. Only thing we asked for was more wash clothes.

Perfect location

The location was perfect. Easy walk to restaurants and coffee shops. Less than a minute walk to the boardwalk and beach. The home provides beach, chairs and umbrellas and towels for the beach during your stay. We also used the rollerblades and beach bikes provided. There are three bedrooms. One bedroom has Four beds. This is where we had all the kids sleep. The home was clean and well organized. We did use the barbecue. The walk is 20 minutes to Belmont Park.

Perfect location!

Great house - loved the open living/kitchen/dining area. Easy for 9 of us to gather. Unbeatable location very near the beach but off the boardwalk. Clean, reasonably well supplied living with just enough beach funk to feel comfortable and relaxed. Management company was surprisingly responsive and helpful. Consistently heard back from them within minutes of a question. Highly recommend on all levels.

Great place to stay, loved the closeness to the beach.

Over all experience was good, there was one thing that was puzzling. One day upon returning to the place a lady was there trying to put in a new tv. She was at the wrong location not sure how she gained access. The 2nd floor balcony was nice and the Christmas lights were fun.

Nice stay

Location is perfect almost center between mission beach and Pacific beach. It is far away enough from the crowded beach but close enough walk to all the excitement. Beautiful views from the balconies. Home layout was a little awkward but workable. Each level has a bathroom which was definitely a plus. The home has pretty much everything you need for a beach getaway including beach chairs, shades, kids sand toys, beach towels. The cleaning fee was steep for what you get, the home was not dirty but could definitely get a deep cleaning.

True to the existing reviews

Our stay in SD was fabulous. The home was exactly true to the reviews we read on line. Having 3 floors with a bathroom on each floor was awesome for our extended family. Being 3 houses from the beach is amazing! The furniture in the living room is very uncomfortable and is not indoor furniture! The carpet on the stairs is gross, the rest of the home is fabulous. The floors are great, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is big and functional. The Management team is easy to work with and made sure we had every thing we needed. We had a wonderful time and hope to visit again soon.

Great Beach House

Overall was a beautiful, spacious, well cleaned home! Have rented several houses on VRBO and this by far was the cleanest house yet! Super close to the beach, we were able to walk back and forth from the beach and the house to use the restrooms or pick up forgotten items! Very quiet neighborhood! We were able to fit a Nissan Murano and Nissan Rogue sport in the garage no problem! Our stay was mainly for a sports tournament held in Escondido CA, but for those family members that stayed behind, they had so many stores, restaurants, and activity places available to pass the time! Only complaint is that we saw two spiders in the down stairs bedroom (which is understandable since it’s ground level) and one in the living room by the couch! Thankfully no one got bit and turned into Spider-Man but definitely recommend a good pest control spray. Other than that everything else was perfect !! Thank you! Would definitely recommend this house to everyone and anyone staying in mission beach, pacific beach San Diego! To the owners, thank you again for such a beautiful home , giving us a wonderful family experience!

Loved our stay and the home is wonderful!

The home is bright and cheery with a wonderful homey feel. It actually looked like the pictures which does not always happen. The size and layout were perfect for our group of 5 adults and 2 kids. Loved the no bedspread, sheet covered top on all the beds, like they do in hotels. That is one of the reasons I chose this home! The beds were very comfortable. Also liked that the only carpet was on the stairs. The location was literally a 2 minute walk to the beach! Also close to some wonderful restaurants. I would very much suggest Olive's for breakfast, and World Famous for dinner, both just a short walk away. Having a two car garage for parking was great as parking spots in Mission Beach are hard to find. I would not bring a huge SUV but it worked great for two medium sized vehicles. The only suggestion we had was putting some kind of hanging rack for clothes with a shoe shelf in the lower level bedroom as there is no closet. Amazon has a wonderful one, Raybee, with shelves and hanging. It could use a few more beach chairs, but there were ample beach towels. We would definitely rent this one again!

Great Mission Beach

I have owned and rented in mission over a 25 year span so I know a good rental/hosts! This a great place for your family for a Mission Beach/Bay stay! A rare find-Mission house with 2car garage! It fit our two mini SUVs. Kitchen was perfectly equipped so you can save on eating out. The can opener was broken and they quickly brought us a new one. 🙌 Beds were fantastic! Furnishings clean and very comfortable! It may be noted and I missed it but the downstairs bedroom doesn’t have a closet. We used bathroom cabinets/drawers and towel racks to hang clothes. It’s a very large room so there is space for your bags. Maybe a few luggage racks would be helpful? They also brought a new beach chair to replace a broken one. Sometimes things get broken from the last guests but don't get reported. They were quick to replace! The neighborhood is quiet so if you want a party house, this isn’t it. It was peaceful even over the crazy 4th of July week! We will rent this one again!
