About this property

Find your beach bliss!

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
It doesn’t get any better than this! If you are hankering for a beach vacation, you will find fun, surf, sand and quiet relaxation in sunny Mission Beach at Hale Makai (House by the ocean). This one bedroom one bath condo on the Penthouse floor of the Top of the Beach condo complex comfortably sleeps 4 and is just steps from famous Mission/Pacific Beach and Boardwalk. The condo offers a king size bed in the bedroom with 6 generous under bed storage drawers and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. The bathroom vanity area has been remodeled with a new cabinet, granite countertop and under the counter rectangular sink. The tiled walk in shower sports a beach rock shower pan which is wonderful on your feet. There is a remodeled full kitchen with new cabinets and granite counter tops, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, toaster, blender and Keurig and standard coffee maker- even a set of Henckel's knives for the discerning chef. The dining table has comfortable seating for 4. A 43” smart TV in the living room and a 32” TV in the bedroom help you unwind from a busy day watching shows in the cozy comfort of home. Wi-fi is provided too, of course. Ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom combine with ocean breezes to keep you comfortable and you can sleep with the relaxing sound of the surf. The lanai offers wonderful views of the ocean, Mission Bay and downtown San Diego with a table and chairs for your enjoyment. We also provide beach towels, boogie board, beach umbrella and beach chairs to make your vacation hassle free. There are 2 washers and dryers available (for a fee) in the upper garage for your convenience.

The Boardwalk, just steps away on the ocean side, stretches for 3 miles from Law Street in North Pacific Beach to the south Mission Beach jetty. It provides a marvelous venue for biking, roller blading, jogging, and walking. Of course the beach is just on the other side of the boardwalk where you can soak up the sun or frolic in the surf. The condo is only one block from Mission Bay which also has a boardwalk around the Bay. There you can rent an assortment of water toys from the Aquatic Center like sailboats, stand up paddle boards, wind surfers or boats to enhance your vacation experience. At the end of the day, since Hale Makai is on the top floor of the tallest building in Mission Beach, you will be treated to breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific Ocean as you relax on the lanai.

Hale Makai offers under building parking with a reserved space in a gated garage so no worries about finding a place to park. Plus the elevator is just steps from your parking space should you not want to climb stairs with your baggage or grocery purchases. But once you arrive you may not need to take your car out again since so many activities and restaurants are within walking distance. But if you have plans to go to Sea World, Legoland, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park or any of the other attractions in the San Diego area the condo is centrally located for exploring all the city has to offer. Belmont Park and its historic roller coaster is just down the boardwalk along with many other rides and amusement park offerings. Visit the San Diego waterfront with the Midway aircraft carrier museum, the Maritime museums and Seaport Village. Drive over the Bay Bridge to quaint Coronado and the famous Hotel del Coronado and beaches. Your choices are endless and you are only limited by the amount of time you have to spend in “America’s Finest City”.

We would be thrilled to be your hosts for your visit to San Diego and hope that you will return often to enjoy the warm hospitality that we provide all our guests.

Can’t fault our stay.

We had a great time, the apartment was everything we had hoped for. Amazing location for exploring the area by foot and only a short drive from the city. Well appointed and spotlessly clean the apartment really deserves the high ratings it has.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Rowley

Host profile image
We are forever grateful to the US Navy for bringing us to 'America's Finest City'. Though we had to move away here and there we always returned as San Diego is where our hearts remained. In 2004 Dennis and Gail (aka mom and dad) had the amazing opportunity to fulfill a life long dream of living in Hawaii and now reside on the beautiful garden island of Kauai. Sean and Heather (aka son and daughter) remain planted firmly in San Diego. We have no doubt you will love this city and all it has to offer as much as we do. The Rowley family looks forward to welcoming you for a truly unforgettable beach vacation!

Why they chose this property

Hale Makai (which is Hawaiian for house by the ocean) is ideally located on beautiful Mission Beach and is across the street from the bay. This well appointed condo has everything you need for a relaxing beach getaway. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the balcony or, if you are feeling adventurous, you can make the 22 second journey to the sand and watch the sun sink into the ocean from there. We have all you need to frolic at the beach including chairs, towels, a boogie board, a cooler and an umbrella. We have updated the condo with new cabinetry, granite countertops, tiled walk in shower, and an upgraded kitchen with quality pots, pans and cutlery and both a Keurig and standard coffee maker. Come, let us welcome you to our paradise!

What makes this property unique

Secured garage parking spot. Secured building entrances. Elevator. Stumbling distance to the beach and bay. Surrounded by shopping, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and recreational rentals (bikes, boats, jet skis, surf and stand up paddleboards, etc.). Fully stocked kitchen with all the comforts of home.
