Great villa in Mission Beach

We have just retunred home from our very enjoyable trip to California and spent 5 nights in the villa in Mission Beach, San Diego. The villa was spotlessly clean on arrival and exactly as described on the website. It is in a fantastic location for all the attractions of Mission Beach and bay as well as the other sites of San Diego. The villa is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped for everything we needed for our stay. The owners were great to deal with and provided ample communication in advance as well as providing contacts in case you needed to contact them during the stay. We would definitely recommend the villa to anyone wanting to stay in the area and we would stay here again if visiting the area in the future.

Wonderful!

This place is so perfect! Fantastic location, close to bay, beach and restaurants, yet quiet and relaxing at the same time. The place is well equipped, homey and beautifully decorated. Having the garage is nice. Overall, highly recommend! Plan to return next year. Spent almost 3 months at the property, so I know of what I speak!

The beach is calling

This private house was in a perfect location; steps from the bay and right down the street from the ocean. The house made us feel right at home with everything we would need to enjoy ourselves being away from our home. We stayed a week and would have loved to stay longer. We will be back!

Great Spot for a Small Family Gathering

We love the Mission Bay area for its access to the calm water, pretty beach and the easy biking/hiking trail. Bikes are provided! This trip included our young grandson, so the beach/calm water component was important. The ocean side is too noisy/busy for us, and the surf can be a little challenging for small kids. There is also a kids playground steps away on the beach. The location is perfect. The house is a lovely family style home which we prefer to some of the glitzier modern options. The master suite on the top floor is lovely with a private deck and a view of the bay. The kitchen/living area below (2nd floor) is very comfortable, and we found everything we needed in the kitchen area to prepare nice family meals. There is also a sleep sofa on this level if you need it along with half bath. The ground floor bedroom located just inside the front door also has it's own small bathroom. And, at the entrance to the house there is a very nice, enclosed patio area with a gas grill. We had a great time and will return.

Couldn't be better

This property was absolutely incredible. I loved everything! The view, the furniture, even the toilet paper was nice! I want to go back to San Diego just to stay here again. It was quiet with very little foot traffic nearby, while being perfectly positioned to fully enjoy Mission Beach. I found it easy to park in either the garage or the outdoor spot. It really couldn't be better!

Cozy Cottage

This cozy Mission Bay cottage was perfect for our family! The 3 story set up was very well accessorized! All of the accommodations allowed us to enjoy our visit. Steve was a great host and communicated with us perfectly!! The cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We especially loved some of the personal art that is hung throughout the house!! Situated right on the bay we enjoyed long walks and beautiful views. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking to come for a visit. We will definitely be back again!

Quiet location and Beautiful view of Mission Bay

We loved our week at your home. Absolutely loved the location. We could walk to the ocean or the bay. Your home is well stocked with everything a person needs for sleeping, playing at the beach or cooking meals. Even our teen girls loved the location. They could even walk to the amusement park on the boardwalk. Parking in the garage was a huge hit with my husband! We will rent here again.

Incredible location and accomodations

We absolutely loved our stay here. It is steps from both Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Many great restaurants within walking distance and many of your sightseeing areas are no further than 20 minutes away if not closer. The unit is fun and unique with three different levels including an amazing master suite and bathroom. The communication was from the owner was fantastic. We will stay here again!

Perfect little place

This place was perfect (IF you can comfortably do stairs!) The pictures don’t do it’s proximity to the bay justice and it was just a short walk to the Oceanside. Close enough that if you forget to take something over to the Oceanside beach you can easily get back to the house to get it. We walked seriously everywhere, grocery, beaches, great restaurants. Check in and check out was so easy, the hosts were easy to contact and super friendly, there were plenty of sleeping options with an air mattress and sleeping pad plus pull out option in the master if you have a younger kid you want closer. We would definitely return!

Cute house, cute neighborhood

Close to restaurants, the beach, the bay. There is a grocery/convenience store a block away and a supermarket about a mile away. The bus is close and easy to use. It's a great location and the house is really nice. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the pots and pans in the kitchen which were teflon and scratched up so we didn't use them. Otherwise, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

great location

We were a few feet from the Mission Beach side so we could easily take walks along this side. One day we walked over to the nearby wharf and watched a class in sailing. We were only a few short blocks from the Pacific Ocean side and walked there to see the sun set. Also very close to a coffee shop and multiple restaurants, and a doable walk to the grocery store. The only downside was having a Keurig coffee machine instead of a regular coffee maker - well, at least for us. That's probably a pretty small thing for most folks. The owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our stay.

Much needed getaway for the family!

The house is literally steps from the bay, I found that perfect since I had my 2 grandsons with me. I didn't have to worry about the big beach with huge waves. The toys that were in the garage were perfect for them to play and make castles with. They even had life vests that fit them perfect!!! The bicycles in the garage were great for the kids and adults as well. I really liked the attention to detail in the house, everything was organized and labeled. We had everything we needed, just like our home! We also liked the parking, I've noticed it's not easy to find parking along mission beach. Let me tell you.... this house had parking for 2 vehicles.... not just 1 but for 2!!!! That's a plus!!!! Even though we only had 1 vehicle. And our vehicle is a 4 Runner, not a small car and it fit perfectly. My husband decided to leave the car parked outside, much easier for us to get out. If you have a smaller car, you'll have no problems. A lot of the times we walked to the local restaurants and coffee shops. Everything was so close to us. And the big ocean is also within walking distance, no need to drive over there. The neighbors were all nice and respectful, We didn't have a problem with loud music or anyone having loud parties. June is the beginning of summer and it was nice and relaxing. The communication with the owner I thought was by far the best!!! He text me to make sure I had the instructions for the house. He would text and check on us, to see if we were good and if we needed anything. I've stayed at other locations and never had this kind of open communication with the owners. We will for sure book this beautiful house in our next San Diego trip!!!!
