Mission Bay Gem: Highly Recommend!

This rental was beautiful inside and out and impressively clean. It was also very thoughtfully stocked with extra conveniences and comforts. It felt more like we were staying at a relative’s beach house, rather than a rental, because of how much care the owner puts into maintaining the property and ensuring guests have an enjoyable stay.

Summer family vacation

We had to cut our stay a day short.we were disappointed with the mattress in the master bedroom as it needed. A update … ended up sleeping on the couches in the living room but unfortunately they were pretty broken down as well.overall the furniture was a bit tired and it made sleeping difficult. We were also surprised at the ants in both the kitchen and bath.we also noticed one of the beds in the bunk room had sand in the sheets .

Great location!

I can’t say more about the great location of this condo. Being on the bay side was perfect, as it had immediate access to sand/water as well as grass, but was within a short walking distance to the beach when we opted for beach time. Was also just a short walk to some great restaurants, coffee shops, and Belmont Park. The condo itself is definitely older, but had everything we needed for our family of six!

Beautiful stay in lovely condo

This was a beautiful condo on beach front Mission Bay. Well maintained with a fun bunk room for kids and adults. Location is ideal…steps to bayside beach and a short walk to the waves. Great kitchen! 2 nice baths. 2 parking spaces! Only suggestion is to consider some portable rails for the bunk beds. Can be easily stored if not needed. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Really nice Fall Break trip

We normally stay on the ocean side in Pacific Beach, but chose this spot because of the convenient access for our kids to run out into the sand right from the front door. We have also always enjoyed spending some of our time on the bay side. The condo was fantastic with everything we needed and the kids built-in bunk beds were very cool. Huge plus as well to have the full washer/dryer in the unit. The condo was very clean and we would absolutely recommend it to families and would potentially stay here again if we wanted to be on the bay. There was an electrical issue that caused the A/C to click on & off sporadically and we were without the microwave for the first couple of days, but Carolyn was incredibly responsive and had it all taken care of. The only thing that kept this review from being 5-stars was that the beach chairs / umbrellas were really lacking. There was one big set of beach toys, one umbrella, and 3 chairs (two of which were pretty worn out) for not just our unit, but to share with the upstairs unit. Otherwise great experience!

Great House on Mission Bay

Can't beat Mission Bay side as a place to stay. Bay right outside the door and the ocean a 5 minute walk away. The house had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had all the appliances we needed. Nice front room to sit and relax. Front patio was spacious, lots or chairs, table, and a brand new BBQ. Grass and beach area right outside the door. Close access to boat rentals on Santa Clara Point. Owner checked in with us to make sure everything was OK. We'll stay again!

Amazing!!!

What an amazing vacation home! From the second we entered the house we knew we were at the beach! Location can’t be beat! Carolyn is so friendly and responsive. The house is adorable and has the cutest decor. We lacked for nothing. The kitchen was fully stocked with plates, bowls, mugs, glasses, utensils and all cooking gadgets. Coffee maker is a drip and we found an espresso maker too. Toaster. Blender. Fridge gives out cold water. Gas stove. Microwave. Ice cubes were frozen and ready upon arrival. Would say bring own containers for leftovers and ziplocs. Foil, wax paper and plastic wrap were provided. Also bring napkins and paper towels. They are provided but we ran out. Grill is perfect and may get the same for home! Had an extra tank which was great because the one attached to grill was empty. Beds are so comfortable. I’m picky with pillows and should’ve brought my own, but there were plenty of pillows to use. Found books and puzzles in TV cabinet for the young and old. A/C worked great at night with windows closed. Plenty of beach and bath towels. Washer/dryer worked well, on the small side so be sure not to overload it. Patio has two rockers, two wicker chairs and a table with umbrella and four chairs. Adding lounge chairs would be amazing. Parked our big ol’ ford in spot and had a Hyundai Santa Fe park in front of us. Booked for next year already!

Best Bay Side Holiday location in San Diego

My two young daughters and I enjoyed a week of bliss at this property. The girls loved their bunk bed room and the Sandy beach directly out front. Bike rides, near by cafes and restaurants, we hardly had to get in the car! Play ground near by on the bay. Super kid friendly. Kitchen well equiped. Would highly recommend. So peaceful and quiet too at night.

Perfect hostess and location. Ocean and playgrounds w/in short walking distances and right in front was a nice Sandy beach on the bay for water and beach play for the best of both worlds. Water temps a little cool to stay in for long but sun warmed us right up.

Great place, great location

We are a family of 6 and loved the ease of the bunk room. The rental is a perfect location for use of the bay and a quick walk to the beach. We rented kayaks, paddle boards and a wave runner. Our family had a great visit to mission beach. We had a midsize suv and the parking spot is very small, so we parked at Santa Clara point mostly.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Benson

Born in San Diego, married a farmer from Imperial Valley and quickly learned where to spend our family summers!
This Bayfront property was purchased in 2000, demolished with completion of 3 wonderful condos in 2005. (The 3rd level condo is not available for rent.)

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! I love the day time action - watching sport, dog walkers on the grass & sand; and in the water the paddle boarders, sailboats, jet skis, seems something new is added each year. Just steps away on Santa Clara Point you can rent water "toys" for all ages...from boogie boards to party boats with hot tub! Evenings & nights are magical from sunset to sunrise - from cloud watching with changing colors to moon rise & reflecting lights across the bay. The view will be a lasting memory whether with family or friend!
