About this property

Bay Front Luxury Penthouse w/elev. & AC! Enjoy multiple outside patios & views!

Recently remodeled & refurbished by the new owners, this is one of the nicest places to enjoy your beach vacation with its comfortable relaxing seating and luxurious bedding! Uniquely situated right on Mission Bay, this extra large one level penthouse takes advantage of indoor/outdoor living with its panoramic views of Mission Bay & Mission Bay Park. Encompassing the entire 3rd floor of the building, complete with its own private elevator, this home is a favorite among the locals with its unique northeasterly orientation to maximize views and wrap around deck. 10 ft. ceilings and a great floor plan add to the perfect orientation to be able to enjoy views from most every room. Enjoy cooking in the upgraded kitchen with its stainless steel dual convection oven & ceramic cook top.
Constructed on a larger than normal corner lot, its total square footage is approx 20% more than what is typically found in comparable penthouses. The complex is also situated at an angle which tends to maximize a wide open view of the bay from the living room, dining room, kitchen, as well as both front and rear master bedrooms that have their own separate balconies with view. This home is beautifully furnished with comfortable yet upscale furnishings. You will find that this is not your typical rental more a feel of being in home with luxurious bedding and spa like bathrooms. A large 2 car tandem garage also enters a private foyer that has it s own private elevator.

Great location on the bay side. Wonderful upper deck to enjoy the views. Close to everything but also far enough away that its quiet. House was in good condition and we experienced only minimal issues and were in communication with the PM. Parking is a challenge but we fit 2 SUVs in the garage. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful condo in a great location. Wonderful for small kids to be able to play in the bay. We were able to watch the fireworks from Sea World from the balcony every night. Close to lots of restuarants and store. The ocean is very close if you want waves. Able to rent Kayaks and paddle boats just a short walk away. Nice BBQ on balcony, which we used quite a bit. Parking is a challenge. We barely were able to fit our SUV and a small car, but that is a problem in the whole area.No place for any other cars. Overall a great time!

Bayside View

Can’t beat the location!

The host was very responsive, the house has great views and lots of space. It does need some TLC as it is starting to age a bit. But with one beach right out the door and another just a quick walk away, it’s hard to complain. We had a fun week in Mission Bay!

Great location

This home was in the perfect location. Close to Belmont and the ocean but on the quiet side of the bay. It was perfect for our grandson to play in the water and we could relax on the sand. Enjoyed paddle boarding, biking on the boardwalk with provided bikes . The unit had everything we needed in the kitchen and has a roomy comfortable family room and bedrooms. We will definitely stay again next time we go.

Pros and cons

Pros: -Right on the bay as advertised with close proximity (2 min walk) to the ocean. -Property manager was friendly and responsive. She allowed us early access that we greatly appreciated. -We enjoyed the expansive bay views from most areas of the house. -We had everything we needed except filtered water. The prop manager said she’d reimburse us for the cost of buying water. We enjoyed the beach supplies, keurig machine, and all kitchen supplies. Cons: -There were ants in the two back bedrooms and a few in the kitchen. -There are areas of the home that are dated, specifically bathrooms and carpet in the bedrooms. -This area is mostly composed of vacation homes with lots of rental options. Overall we had a fun stay!

Didn’t want to leave!

The property is exact to pictures - BEAUTIFUL! Tastefully decorated. Comfy beds. Comfy couches. Lux linen and towels. We’ll stocked kitchen included with every spice you may need. The property Manager Rebecca is a dream! Felt like a friend. We needed assistance turning on the fireplace and she was there immediately with amazing maintenance worker Hugo! Rebecca even lent us a table for remote working during our stay. Bikes and beach equipment were a great bonus! Narrow garage - we could have kept the Audi Q7 but we exchanged for smaller SUV and had ample space. My husband, myself and 87 yr old Mother loved breakfast on balcony each morning and watching reflections on the bay at night. THANKYOU Rebecca for making the experience even better! We can’t wait to return!

Owner Values Profit over Human Decency

I will start by saying this was our second time renting this condo and it will certainly be our last. Due to the November 2020 spike in COVID cases, California imposed a more strict stay-at-home order that included a curfew as well as a recommendation to avoid unnecessary leisure travel. These heighted restrictions went into place less than a month before my family and I were scheduled to rent this VRBO. Given these new restrictions and CDC guidance not to travel, we politely asked Rebecca (the Property Manager) if we could cancel our rental out of a concern for my parents flying to California and being out in public. Rebecca replied: “Unfortunately, [the owners] are counting on this income to pay for their expenses this month. They recently redid their patios as well as new sliders. The place looks beautiful. However, you need to do what you are comfortable doing.” Disappointing in light of a global pandemic, but we thought perhaps the owners are reasonable people and would give us a credit toward a future stay if we cancelled. However, we were told they would give no credit, not even partial. We completely understand the need to cover expenses, especially when many income properties suffered during these times, but to not even offer future credit was extremely disappointing and disconcerting. Further, it was insulting for Rebecca to encourage us "do what [we were] comfortable with" yet at the same time offer us zero flexibility. Long story short: we would only recommend this property to those looking to rent from greedy income property owners who value their new sliding doors more than human decency.
