Wonderful Stay
We had an amazing stay with Drift Vacation Homes! From the very beginning, their communication was quick, helpful, and genuinely friendly. The rental was beautifully decorated, spotless, and felt very welcoming. The fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed, which made our stay incredibly convenient. We also loved that they provided beach towels and beach chairs — such a thoughtful touch.
The beds were extremely comfortable, with plenty of extra bedding available. Check-in and check-out were seamless thanks to their clear and excellent communication from start to finish. The location was absolutely perfect, nestled between the bay and the beach, with a beautiful view that made our stay even more special. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Drift Vacation Homes!
Nice rental location. It was great for our family. It was on the bay side, and the pictures were accurate about the beach and location. We loved the boardwalk right outside the front door. Also, the ocean side is only two or three blocks away, so we did walk over there several times. It is close to many places to eat. The bay side is a bit more quiet and was enjoyable for us.
Amazing spot, walk to everything: restaurants, Belmont park, ocean side beaches, fit our family of 4 perfectly. Clean house & comfortable beds, small but great outdoor patio.
The condo was in a great location. It was very clean, quiet and comfortable.

Great place! Great location!
We loved the place and the location. Parking was a challenge as we had two cars but we were able to find parking and then walk to the place. Overall it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it for a stay on the beach.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us, Julie. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
You cannot beat the location. The master bedroom was a favorite with the Jaccuzi bathtub and huge walk in closet. The view from the bed was lovely to wake up to each morning.
The location was perfect, great accomodations, perfect appliances, outdoor eating area with a firepit and just step out and enjoy the bay. When we return to San Diego we will see if this unit is available first.

Thanks so much for your review, Joan! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back again :)
We did a girls weekend. Great location within walking distance to everything we needed. Loved being on the bay. Home had everything we needed and was clean and well appointed.
This property was perfect for our girls getaway at the beach! After another property I had reserved canceled our booking unexpectedly, I’m so happy we were able to find this gem! The host was so responsive to all my questions, we were able to check in and out easily, and the property had everything we needed and more! I definitely plan on staying here again!
We had a wonderful vacation. You can walk to the ocean and to many restaurants. The master suite is beautiful with an amazing view with a balcony. The host was very responsive and definitely met our needs.
Great home, clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for our family of four to sleep and hosted 7 for Thanksgiving dinner. Kitchen is well equipped, linens are fresh and new. Amazing location and views of Mission Bay. We will stay here again.

Fantastic location!
We had such a wonderful time. It was a total of four of us and we were very comfortable. The unit is self could fit about seven people. We loved having our morning walks on the beach, a big kitchen to cook and a beautiful view. The beds were absolutely comfortable, And we all slept in, which we never do. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay, we will be back.
We had a great time. House was perfect for two couples and the location was great. Bayside is so much quieter than ocean side. Loved outdoor area overlooking bay. Conveniently located for short rides to many areas of attraction.

Perfect stay
This place was absolutely perfect- it exceeded our expectations. So well stocked, and everything is high quality. Everything was in great functioning condition as well. This is the first place that I loved so much I would come back again. And I have been coming to mission beach almost every summer for 25 years. Thank you Drift!
