About this property

Relaxing Beach Bungalow

Summary:
Escape to this bayside retreat in South Mission Beach, where relaxation meets convenience. Just 50 yards from the bay and 300 yards to the ocean, this serene 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect balance of privacy and tranquility. Unwind on the private patio with a fire pit, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and enjoy the ease of a spacious 2-car garage. With A/C, high-speed internet, and a washer/dryer, your comfort is covered. Plus, the home is fully stocked for beach days—wagon, chairs, boogie boards, cooler, towels, and more. Experience the ultimate coastal getaway!

The Space:
The cottage welcomes you through a cozy outdoor patio with seating, an outdoor fire pit, and a grill inviting you to spend some quality time in the front yard this vacation. But when you do decide to retire, we have CENTRAL AC!

The open concept living room has comfortable seating and a 55" smart TV. It flows right into an amazing kitchen with a pass through bar with a wine fridge and bar seating. You can cook just about anything as it is well-appointed with an oven, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, large refrigerator, toaster, and drip coffee-maker!

There are three wonderfully appointed bedrooms. The "master bedroom" has an en-suite, a king-sized bed, and a 50" smart TV. The 2nd bedroom has a queen-sized bed and a 43" smart TV, while the 3rd bedroom has 2 twin bunk beds to sleep 4 kiddos (or adults) and another 43" smart TV. There is a full bathroom in the hallway that is shared between these bedrooms. There is another half bathroom off the kitchen for your convenience.

When you get back from the beach you can head down the west side of the home to find a private outdoor heated shower to wash off before you head into the house through a side-door off the kitchen (via a half-bathroom). If you do decide to leave the area, you can feel free to come and go as you please as parking is not an issue with a 2-car garage, which will accommodate a large car or SUV.

You will experience the charm of Mission Beach here! The houses all face each other across a sidewalk (hence the "Court" designation). You may see kids riding bikes to and from the boardwalk and bayside walk while friendly neighbors are outside grilling and chatting. You will also hear the ice-cream truck come by!"

Guest Access:
You have the complete house to yourselves, including courtside patio. A normal sized two-car garage (anomaly at the beach) make the beach experience perfect as no need to hunt for parking. We also provide boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys and beach towels for your use when visiting.

The Neighborhood:
Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around "courts" with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to "live at the beach".

Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away).

Getting Around:
Rental bikes and scooters are plentiful for rent by the hour/day/week. The Boardwalk and Bayside Walk are wonderful ways to travel throughout the beach and bay. The 2-car garage guarantees that you will always have parking should you venture out into greater San Diego. We've also partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!

Other Things to Note:
For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.
Beach Equipment: despite the inclusion of snorkeling gear, we do not offer it at our rentals

We’ve partnered with a local private chef, Plates By Payne, who will provide an unforgettable culinary experience to you at a discount from the comfort of our rental! Ask us about this service after booking.

Interaction with Guests:
We are a self-service destination (check-in details will be sent 3 days prior to arrival). However, we are also a full-service, professional management company (that has been a Superhost for over 4 years running) and we are just a phone call/text/email away and have agents that are almost never more than 10 minutes away should a need arise.

Great place for a perfect beach vacation

This was the perfect place for a great vacation. Halfway between beach and bay. The house was equipped with everything you can think of. The layout is great. Beds are super comfy! The fire pit was loved by all! Having laundry was so nice and we didn’t even have to go buy soap. Very helpful! The beach chairs were good ones and not rusted like most others. So nice that the garage fit our midsize suv just fine. We've stayed in so many different houses in San Diego and finally found one we will go back to over and over!

Exactly what we wanted

This property was perfect for our visit to Mission Beach! We could walk to both the beach and the bay, the home was beautiful & clean, and the details of outside shower & beach gear were awesome. The owner communicated well & quickly. It was great having a garage! Our Suburban was a tight fit, but it did fit, and that size is the norm for the area. Definitely a place we would stay at again.

Wish the power was more reliable

The house is clean and great for a group of 3 or 4. The power randomly went out and we didnt have wifi (the router is in the master where the power kept going out). When we notified the property manager we were told that it's a known problem and we probably have too much plugged, like a cpap which apparently was the reason why it went out last time. 🙄 We unplugged everything and reset the power breaker a number of times and it never came back. It is also not on the beach which was a little misleading. If the power issue is resolved, it would get a 5. Location is really great for downtown and lots of activities.

Yearly Mission Beach Family Vacation

This year there were 6 of us ranging from 65 to 11 years of age. Great place. Kitchen was the most fully stocked rental we have seen (I like to cook). Location was perfect between the bay, ocean and near Belmont Park. Aaron was responsive and nice to interact with, took care of all our questions. Will definitely choose this bungalow again.

Highly recommend

Location between the beach and bay was great. We were within walking distance to Belmont Park. The size of the house was perfect for a family of 5. Location was also great to be able to drive to the zoo, Little Italy, Old Town, and the Seaport District. Only recommendations are to update with new cushions outside and some paint jobs within the house. We rented a Yukon. It fit in the garage, but we helped guide him in and out each day. Luckily we drive a suburban and truck. This is nothing against the property owner. Just be aware if you are renting a vehicle. I would definitely recommend to anyone to stay here!!!

Perfect Little Beach Bungalow!

We chose this property for the proximity to both the bay and the ocean, and it was SO perfect!! Less than a block to the bay, 2 blocks to the beach! There is also all the beach stuff you could ever want; chairs, wagon, sand toys, tent… also loved the outdoor shower when we came back from the beach. The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. Plenty of towels, kitchen was very well stocked. 2-car garage was nice to have, tho you either need a small car or backing skills to get in it from the narrow alley. Highly recommend for families!

Family spring break trip

This cozy house was the perfect house for our family vacation. We have two little ones and wanted to be close to the beach. The location is perfect minutes from the beach and bay as well. The house even had a wagon and beach chairs that were super convenient for our time at the beach. The owner, Aaron, was super responsive. The house had everything we needed and even had a pack in play for our baby to sleep in. Check in and out was very easy. We recommend this house and would book in again for another beach vacation.
