A Message from the Owner:
We are thankful to be able to provide this lovely Mission Beach home where families from all over the world have stayed, made memories, and filled our guest books with love. Twenty years ago we bought this beach house that our family had rented for many summer vacations starting when our children were babies. We love this house and always called it our beach house; even before we bought it. One summer we arrived to find our beach house was For Sale! It is a dream come true to own this house and we are very thankful for all the fun times it has provided with our friends and family. We look forward to spending many happy years with our children and someday, hopefully, their children in this special place. When we're not at the beach, we live in Scottsdale, Arizona. We have been married for 40 years and have three now grown sons. We love all that San Diego has to offer and never get tired of acting like tourists.

Spring Break 2024
We had a 1hr flight delay but upon our arrival the unit was ready....totally reset the questionable start. The unit was clean and easily accessible: one block to the beach, boardwalk, restaurants, bike rentals, shops and Belmont Park. Upstairs neighbors were noisy one morning, one quick text, problem solved @6am! I didn't expect a response at all so I was extremely pleased with such a prompt response. I would recommend this property.

Location! Location! Location! Pacific paradise
Thank you Nancy for sharing your beautiful home, and to your property management being so accommodating! This was by far one of the best VRBO homes we stayed at. From location to get places, to the board walk, and easy access to go eat at great places. Also all the little amenities that you provided in your home, to all the beach toys, chairs, and umbrellas. The garage was a very nice added bonus. We rented surf boards, wet suits, and rollerblades. Our last full day we did 6 miles on the rollerblades with the stroller in tow. USS Midway was an incredible ship to go and visit could have spent a couple days there. La Jolla being so close to take the kids to see the sea lions, they loved it! From the bottom of our Wisconsin hearts, thank you so much. Well done, keep up the amazing work! Epic trip!

Great location
It was the perfect location to be steps away from the beach. Check in and communication with property manager was smooth and easy. Cozy place. Had everything we needed. Having two parking spots was a huge bonus.
