About this property

Perfection! Steps to the Sand w/ AC + Garage!

* Note - If this property is booked, or does not suite your needs, please see my other Mission Bay Rentals - VRBO #497367 and #379170

Tucked along one of Mission Beach’s charming pedestrian courts, this bright and breezy beach cottage combines coastal charm, designer details, and an unbeatable walkable location.

Just 1/2 block to Mission Bay and a short stroll to the ocean, cafés, coffee shops, and restaurants, this is the perfect home base for families, couples, and friends looking to experience the best of San Diego beach living.

The cottage features warm wood finishes, vintage-inspired coastal décor, a sunny south-facing porch, and thoughtful touches throughout that make it feel cozy, relaxed, and welcoming from the moment you arrive.

This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests and is full of character and beach-house charm.

The bright living room features:
- Beautiful hardwood floors
- A stunning stone fireplace
- Smart TV with cable + complimentary YouTubeTV
- Comfortable seating and coastal décor
- Lots of natural light and ocean breezes

The fully stocked kitchen includes:
- Quartz countertops
- Stainless steel appliances
- Gas stove
- Coffee maker
- Everything needed for cooking meals at home

Sleeping arrangements:
- Bedroom 1: Queen bed
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed
- Bedroom 3: Custom-built cedar bunk room with its own TV

All beds feature high quality linens, comfortable mattresses, and soft bedding designed for a great night’s sleep after a day at the beach.

The bathroom includes a beautifully refinished clawfoot tub, subway tile, and antique-inspired vanity that fits perfectly with the cottage’s relaxed coastal style.

And the real highlight...

The sunny private front porch is the perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, or simply relaxing and people-watching after a beach day. The porch includes outdoor seating, café lighting, and a propane BBQ grill.

Because the cottage faces south, the porch gets wonderful sunshine throughout the day.

Guests have access to the entire cottage, private porch, BBQ, and detached garage.

Please note:
- The half bath is located off the laundry room.
- Garage dimensions are approximately 186 inches long x 106 inches wide. Compact and midsize vehicles fit best.
- We have set up the garage so that the door can remain open if needed, allowing for approximately 4 additional feet of vehicle length for larger SUVs or trucks.

Free street parking is generally available within a few blocks for additional vehicles, though parking can become difficult during summer weekends and holidays.

Mission Beach is one of San Diego’s most popular beach neighborhoods... everyone wants to be here.

Located in the heart of Mission Beach:

- 1/2 block to Mission Bay
- 1.5 blocks to the ocean
- Walk to Olive Café, Better Buzz, The Mission, bars, restaurants & shops
- About 1/2 mile to Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach with shopping, bars, Trader Joe’s, Vons, yoga studios, gyms, and nightlife
- 1 block to the nearest bus stop
- 1 mile to Belmont Park and the historic beachfront roller coaster
- Short drive to SeaWorld, Downtown, Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and many of San Diego’s best neighborhoods

One of the best parts of staying here is that you can park your car and walk almost everywhere.

An information booklet is provided with local recommendations, favorite restaurants, coffee shops, beaches, hikes, and fun things to do around San Diego.

Please note:
- Quiet hours are strictly enforced from 10pm to 8am
- No parties or events
- No unapproved visitors
- Guests not listed on the reservation must leave during quiet hours

This cottage is best suited for guests looking for a relaxed beach vacation rather than a party house atmosphere.

Air Conditioning
- The cottage features a mini-split AC system located in the main living area along with ceiling fans throughout the home.
- The setup keeps the cottage comfortable most of the year, though during extreme heat waves the bedrooms may be slightly warmer than homes with full central AC systems.

I was born in England and Ivey, my husband in South Africa. We moved to The States 25 years ago and have called it home ever since,. We live in Solana Beach, have two children of 23 and 19 and an oldJack Russell Terrier.
We love outdoor sports/activities adventure and travel and combine all on trips as often as possible.
We have two other vacation rental 379170 and 497367 which we also completely remodeled. I love the whole process from demo through to interior decor and am hands on at every stage. I hope it shows how much thought I put into you having the perfect place to stay while visiting Mission Beach.
I hope my mission will be accomplished.
Have a wonderful stay.
