About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Steps to the water on both sides!!

Very small (under 400 sq ft) & cozy 1 bedroom located in the heart of San Diego's most famous beach community. Just steps to Mission Bay, the beach, the Boardwalk and Belmont Park, Only 1.5 blocks to the beach, and only two doors from the Bay! Only has 1 queen bed and a very small sofa for a small child.

Please note, this is literally the center of Mission Beach, less than a block from Belmont Park, which is great, but expect a lot of people, noise and traffic congestion especially during spring & summer.

This home is a tastefully designed one-bedroom with a full kitchen that can sleep three. Our beach apt features a queen-sized bed and couch. The kitchen is equipped for cooking, and amenities include free Wi-Fi, and Apple TV. Unfortunately there is NO PARKING.

Photos were taken in 2015. Please expect normal wear and tear over that time period. Furniture and furnishings may be different than pictured as items are replaced and updated.

A bad experience got worse!

The VRBO property at Mission Beach was a BIG disappointment! It was cold when we arrived and the power went out early the next morning when trying to usebthe drip coffee-maker. I attempted to contact the owner without success so we left!

Excellent for enjoying the beach

The property was super cute and functional for the size, perfect place to walk to Belmont park and the surrounding area with your loved one. Parking does suck but doable with a little patience. It's definitely a bustling corner but once it was Netflix & chill time, you couldn't hear the nightlife. We would absolutely stay again!

Honeymoon Getaway

I rented this property for my daughter's honeymoon. Drew was fantastic to work with and was prompt with returning any correspondence. The property is in a great location. Close to beaches, food and entertainment. My daughter and her new husband had a great time exploring the area and enjoying the week together.

This property is great if you don’t want to rent a car. It’s within walking distance of everything. It’s definitely small, but exactly as described. I also loved that they provided towels and beach toys. I would absolutely come back.

Stayed here one week. Clean, very nice accommodations. I could hear the neighbors upstairs walking around and opening doors while I was trying to sleep but I turned on white noise and it tuned them out well. I would recommend staying here.

Right next to the Beach, Bay & Belmont Park!

My 4 year old grandson and I had a lil vacation for a week here, and we both loved it. So close to all things fun! The place was clean, and modern. We parked our bikes on the patio, and parked our van in the nearby 24 hour lot. The area is loud and crowded in summer with all the fun, but knew that going in, and we both still slept well. We made great memories here, my grandson did not want to leave lol.

Mission Beach Adventure

Stayed for a week. Close to zoo, Safari and Coronado. Walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops. Street is noisy day and night b/c only way in and out of peninsula. Parking can be an issue but working it out w/ other tenants made it easy. Communication with Drew was great and he was very accommodating.
