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.

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!

Just what we wanted!
This place was a perfect location for us to walk anywhere we needed, bike rentals next door that we took all the way up to La Jolla. So many bars/restaurants and cool places to go. San Diego zoo not a far cab ride either. We loved it!! Definitely coming back.

Not really as advertised
We didn’t end up staying. After checking in, there was an interesting smell that we didn’t like. The TV remote didn’t really work and there were only a couple of channels. All of that coupled with the horrible parking situation and the questionable neighborhood made it so we didn’t want to stay, so we left after a couple of hours after check-in.

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.

Great location, great stay.
I came to Drew's place by myself and stayed for 4 days. Overall the place is great! Amazing location. Everything you would need is right there. The place was clean and comfortable. The only negative i would say is the walls are thin and you can hear the people upstairs walking around but I sleep like a rock and it didnt bother me.

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.

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.

Middle of the action
This property is a great location if you plan to be out and about in Mission Beach. The location was great because it was across the street from the park, bay, Belmont, food, and the beach. This home is only a three minute walk to the beach. There was no designated parking spot so it’s great if you plan to walk or Uber. This home is small, and the couch was so small it was not able to accommodate our third person (child) as advertised so we brought a blowup mattress. Additionally, the owner emphasizes quiet hours, which is great however, the people in the upstairs unit had parties both of the nights that we were there (Wed and Thurs), so we did not get much sleep with the stomping and loud music all night. Lastly, when I reached out through the messaging feature of Vrbo to the property owners for support and basic communication they responded only once. For example, I reached out to clarify the address on check-in day and didn’t get a reply until the next day. Overall, great to be close to action but the lack of designated parking was a stress, the neighbors were so loud that we could not sleep, and the owners were not responsive to communication. I will go back to Mission Beach but not to this property.

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.

This place was small, but what are you doing inside? So much to see and do. Equal distance to ocean and bay. Walking, dining, rental (we rented a bike from Ray's) and close to park, I-8 etc. No parking, but we had no trouble moving car a couple of times a day. Would recommend to a friend.
