Beach House stay could have been better...

We just wanted an easy stay next to the beach for our yearly family "girls weekend." Place was well-stocked as advertised, and nicely within reach to the beach. The hot water was not working when we arrived; we just happened to notice a single line in the notebook about flipping a switch on the outside wall to get it working. Not a good start, but okay, we figured it out. Light was out in the frig; small issue but annoying. Couldn't use the indoor fireplace; again, small annoyance, but something we thought was usable from the pics. The biggest issue for us... On the morning we were leaving & had to be out by 10:00, there was no hot water available. Again. We trouble-shooted for 30 min and then called the host to let them know the issue and to get their help. Host on the phone didn't offer an extended departure time with our difficulties; and when replying to our texted displeasure (out the door without our showers!), tried a "had you but asked" line for us to digest (in regards to a later departure time). By that point, it was enough to send us through the roof. Later texts apologized and gave a discount for a RETURN visit--not for this bad visit--like we would want to be a return customer. It could have been dealt with much better, even with the no-hot-water issue, and we would have considered a return. But that didn't happen. Not happy with this visit, and wouldn't recommend.

Stay

Excellent location, very clean, and well stocked. The only problems we had was the shade in the bottom floor bedroom would not stay down, the upstairs tub was clogged, and the tv in the bottom bedroom would not work due to no signal. Otherwise every thing else was perfect.

Downtown beach house

Our family of 7 Adults and 1 toddler stayed comfortably in this house. The location is perfect to walk to Belmont park, the beach or the bay. Beds were comfortable and the house was set up well. The back yard firepit and Bbq were perfect for our group.

Historic cottage beach house

The home is full of historic charm. Easy access to the beach without crossing big roads. We did fit our Rav 4 and a Toyota Siena Van both in the garage and another Toyota Siena in the ally area behind the garage. We made good use of all of the beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, and wagon. The Firepit in the front yard was a gathering place hit in the evenings. The living room was big enough to accommodate the twelve of us and a few dinner guests. Everyone said their bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was in great working order and well stocked with needed items. On the downside some of the individual room AC unit’s were very noisy or just never got cool. The trash cans on the side of the house were covered in flies and maggots so take spray to keep them to a minimum. .

Great for a family getaway

We enjoyed this property and it's close proximity to Belmont Park and the shops and restaurants off Mission Blvd. The firepit outside was a nice gathering place for everyone to keep warm in the cool evenings.

San Diego Graduation Stay

The house was clean with plenty of beds for 8 people! There were also plenty of towels. There was a garage to park one car, and space alongside for a second car. The firepit was especially nice as it was a bit chilly in the evenings, but was an excellent place to gather and chat. The house wasn't on the beach, but a short walk through a friendly community to the beach. We met several families who owned a house in the community. I would definitely rent this house again, and recommend it to friends and family.

Cute Cottage at the beach

The house is adorable! So close to the beach and Belmont park is perfect for the kids. Shopping and restaurants within walking distance. The only downside is the very limited parking at the house. We had to use public parking for the suburban become it was way too big to park at the house. Perfect house if you are traveling with kids.

Our second stay was as good as our first 6 years ago

A really nice home in a mostly residential area with just enough commercial establishments nearby to fill the bill. It is just one property away from Mission Blvd and one block away from the amusement park, but there are no issues with noise at all. What we liked best: a bedroom / bathroom and the living area on the ground floor. What we found most challenging: fitting our two cars in the garage. We had a regular SUV (Mazda CX-5) and a small sedan (Volvo Polestar 2), which did both fit in the garage, but with no room to open the driver's door of one of them. We climbed out through the passenger side. But this is the story with every property in Mission Beach. We often parked one car on Mission Blvd, which, in this area, has no time restrictions.

Great location and house for a family

This was a perfect location and house for a beach vacation. While not ocean view, just step away from easy beach access. Close enough to run back for drinks, snacks, toys etc. Great supply of chairs and sand toys and wagon to haul. Several great places to grab food/coffee/smoothies from a bock away. So close to so much I was worried it would be noisy, but was always quiet at night and felt safe and secure despite the bustle. The garage was convenient, loved having the laundry, the kitchen was very well appointed with everything you could need, and loved the private outdoor space to hang out in. Overall an adorable old beach house, but updated and clean,

Perfect spot for two families, 9 total

We had two families--one family of 4 and one family of 5. Five kids age 7 and under with 4 adults. The home was perfectly spacious, comfortable beds, clean, complete kitchen, lovely outdoor space, and a perfect location. Easy walk to the beach. It is also a great location (short Uber/Lyft) if you want to visit Sea World, which we did for 3 of the 7 days we stayed here. The property manager was very responsive. All in all a great experience. I sent the VRBO listing to several other friends to suggest this place!

Great access to beach!

The kitchen was well appointed with nice appliances and everything you would need. Living room was cozy & comfy once we found the space heaters. The outdoor space was disappointing with the construction across the walkway, hammering, saws, etc., yes, on Sunday also!! A look on google earth will tell you when this is done. Also, by city order, the fence was removed, and 12' to 18" or so of the turf. Thus, could not all sit around the fire pit as the furniture was not to be moved. Once the fence is replaced, and all is relocated to fit the space, and the construction is done, I trust this will all resolve, but not for us! A notice that the garage is not attached and a note as to where the key is located would be helpful.

Happy Christmas at the Beach

We had a great time! Easy walk to Belmont and the beach. Delicious tacos at Marcy’s a 2 minute walk away, and an easy drive to Ralph’s in PB if you need a more featured market. Plenty of reserved parking (although definitely check the dimensions of your car vs the garage. It’s a tight fit for sure) which removes a lot of stress of going to the beach. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a lovely beach home away from home!

Perfect Thanksgiving

Our family (7 adults, 1 baby) gathered for the holiday at the beach. Here are some of the reasons we gave this rental a perfect score: spotless house, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, easy walk to the beach (so close!), inside and outside gathering areas with enough space for us all, great gas fire pit with chairs (this was our favorite), easy entry, & quick replies to questions. Cleanliness is so important for us to be comfortable. This home was perfect- pristine sheets, kitchen towels looked new, as did the fluffy white bath towels. The extras in the kitchen were an unexpected plus. Pots, pans, utensils all really nice quality! I have never had such sharp knives and kitchen scissors in a rental. We loved our stay and wished we were still there!

First visit to the beach

This home was the PERFECT location for our family to stay. The location was wonderful for our 5,9, and 11 year old grandchildren and their parents to access the beach. We also were very happy for the close proximity to Sea World and the zoo and not far from the airport. Some really great places to eat within short walking distance too! The beach toys, wagon and chairs were a great help for our kiddos to enjoy the beach. The house was setup with great appliances, utensils and grill and had tons of towels for the beach and the bath. Firepit was another big hit in the evening. Thanks so much for your part in making our first trip to San Diego a HUGE success. The Montana family!
