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)
Please note that there is no parking at this residence and street parking tends to be difficult find in peak season. You can always park in alleys (just look for breaks in the fire lanes or on Mission Blvd (Just check the street sweeping signs). If you head east on Santa Clara Pl towards the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, there is free daytime parking (not for overnight use). Next to Santa Clara is the Mission Beach Women`s Club, which offers paid parking when they have it (look for the envelopes by the door. Finally, in a pinch you can drop stuff off and then park in Ventura Cove and grab a Bird scooter and jet back to the property. Most of our guests never use their car once on site since everything at the beach is walkable (or Uber-able in a pinch).
There is a fully stocked kitchen with all items needed to bake, cook or grill, pots/pans, cookie sheets, casserole dishes, outdoor plastic dishes, knives, cutting board, blender, coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, first aid kit, a/c & heat, wifi, Smart TV, hair dryer, iron, iron board, shared washer-dryer, luggage rack, hangers, extra linens, pillows and blankets, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, beach umbrellas, and patio furniture.
Beach Equipment: despite the inclusion of snorkeling gear, we do not offer it at our rentals
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.

Love this place, it's my go-to place when visiting my son. So comfortable inside, decor is light & airy and of course when you step outside you can see the beautiful bay. The patio outside is a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee. Staying in Mission Beach is the best if you want easy access to the beach. Location, location, location...this place has it!
The location is absolutely perfect. We had a wonderful time. The host communicated with us when needed very fast! Super cute place :)

Cute house, clean. Parking was a little difficult, as stated in the description. The front patio area is great, walking distance to the beach (5 mins), restaurants & bars was really nice! It was a little small for us, but super cute.

We had a weekend get away in San Diego. The location was great, in between the ocean and bay. the condo was a perfect size for a couple retreat. The only down side is parking was very limited. Mission Blvd is really close, but we had to park 5 blocks away.I will visit it again.

I stayed here with my husband while celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. It was very clean, quiet, comfortable, and in a great location. Walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and the beach gives an amazing view. We would stay again.

Hi Tiara. Thank you so much for leaving us a 5-star review! We are glad you and your husband had a great stay. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! -Vacation Rentals By Aaron
Couldn’t ask for more, steps to both the beach and the bay. The place was clean and stocked with everything that we needed to enjoy a week on the beach. Aaron was great to deal with, we would not hesitate to stay again!
This spot was the perfect location for my wife and I to explore Mission Beach and greater San Diego. Close to the beach and bay side, good local spots/decent restaurants, and other walkable amenities.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. This bungalow had everything we needed, was comfy, and close to everything. The property was super easy to check in to and out of and the manager was very responsive to all our questions. Would definitely stay here again!
