Check out these popular things to do in Mission Beach and Mission Bay during your getaway with the San Diego Beach King.

Great proximity to the beach. Restaurants and grocery mart within blocks of condo.Roof top deck needs an umbrella as well as the kitchen deck. Overall a nice place. Miscellaneous kitchen stuff missing. Ie: napkins, cleansers for counter tops, absolutely no foil, wraps or storage bags/containers. If you plan on cooking you will need to purchase everything. There was salt, pepper and vegetable oil. We only had dish soap to clean any spills on floor. Both beds were comfortable but the bed frames squeaked anytime youmoved. Best part was we parked our car in the garage and did not drive it the 6 days we were there. Dog friendly beach before 9:00 am and after 6:30 pm 1 block from condo.

Thank you for the review. We do not supply wrapping items or rooftop umbrellas - they fly off the roof during a windy period. Yes all of our guests in all our properties purchase their own spices, and wrapping items. Please come back again. We pride ourselves on providing clean, Air Conditioning, best locations and more!

This was a great location. Steps from the beach! And it was a 2 bedroom 2 bath which is hard to find. And a private rooftop deck is pretty awesome! It also had a balcony as well where you can sit and watch the waves.Looks like they did charge me a cleaning fee however, even though we spent a good amount of time cleaning upon exit.

This unit was exactly as laid out in the description. Remarkably clean. Had extras we were not expecting such as beach toys, chairs and equipment. Maurice, the host, was amazing. Quick to reply and helpful with anything we needed. The rooftop was the best and is where we spent our evenings eating dinner and drinking wine. Very relaxing. The balcony was perfect for breakfast. Not listed but was fantastic was the taco shop at the end of the street. About a block away. Can't beat tacos and a beach combo. Thank you Maurice for allowing us to have a great birthday weekend.
