We absolutely loved our stay. Despite the lack of AC, it kept quite cool especially with extra heavy duty fan they provided. The location is ideal for a beach getaway. Because it’s so centralized, the noise level on the weekend can get a bit loud, but during the week, it was super quiet. Host was very communicative. Would definitely recommend.

Bayside Bikini - Perfect Mission Beach stay!

This was our second time staying at this property and you cannot beat the location for the price. Steps from the bay, a quick walk to the beach, easy walking distance to restaurants like Molly's, Olive Cafe, Mission Cafe, a nice morning stroll to Better Buzz for a coffee or The Hub (convenience store) for stocking up on beach snacks or drinks. Super convenient bus stop just up the road to hop on and go to OB or La Jolla. The space is cozy but well equipped with everything you need for the beach, we didn't really cook this time around but there's plenty of supplies. This spot is definitely our go to for trips to beach! The surf style team is super accommodating and responsive if you need anything!

Immaculate, close to everything

We had a great stay - the space was updated, clean, and close to beach and bay. Walked to coffee every morning - lots of restaurants close by. The building has 3 units but we never heard the other families staying there. Great little gem.

Lovely stay near beach

We stayed for a month and loved every bit of it. Location is perfect as we were 10 steps from the bay and a min from the ocean. It was also very quiet at night which is hard to get around the area. Having a parking spot was also great since we didn't have to move our car every night. Bed is really comfy and the place is spotless clean. Management is also very quick with any problems. We would definitely stay again next time.

Beach vaca

Great long weekend between pacific beach and mission bay. The location is great. Space is small but worked perfect for me and my husband. Lots of construction so when we arrived workers were parked in the available spot, called property managers and never got a return call. We’re able to speak with the workers and they moved quickly. There’s no a/c but was cool enough at night. They provide several fans that helped a lot. Overall a great stay and close to everything!

Excellent location in safe neighborhood

Loved this charming property for my daughter and I as we were in town checking out colleges. Unit is advertised accurately for top unit. Unit is clean, good for 1 person or 2 max., has been newly remodeled and includes the basics. Leaving windows open at night cooled unit down adequately for us but definitely gets toasty in the day (we stayed out and about so wasn't an issue for us). Location is fantastic in a safe and quiet neighborhood with easy walking distance to Pacific Beach and Mission beach areas/boardwalk (across the street and one row back from the bay) with Ralph's grocery store 10 min walk, bike rentals 5 min walk, lots of great restaurants and icecream/shave ice within 5-10 min walk (in both directions: Mission beach area and Pacific beach area), and great shopping in Pacific beach area. We had a small rental car and parking worked great for us. Washer and dryer are located in closet outside the unit (plan to wash clothes outside of the hours of 10A-3P). Management company was very prompt with communication and instructions for check in, check out and parking were all easy to follow. Wished we could have stayed longer and will definitely look to stay here again the next time we are visiting.
