Corey, thank you for the kind words. We are happy the home matched the listing and that everything felt exceptionally clean with clear check-in and check-out instructions. We would love to host you again.
The five, large bedrooms were perfect for our family. It was beautiful, very accommodating and the location on the bay across from the ocean was amazing to view from the huge rooftop deck and easy to walk everyday! Our favorite stay in Mission Beach by far!!

Thanks so much, Rebecca! We’re thrilled this was your favorite Mission Beach stay. That means a lot. So glad the space, location, and rooftop deck were perfect for your family. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This place had all the amenities we needed, and the kitchen was fully furnished. Get the morning view from the living room — it's breathtaking! Or look away from the rooftop, where you get a 360-degree view of the bay and ocean. The sunsets and sunrises are simply incredible, offering a stunning overlook. The rooms were spotless, and we had everything we needed for the beach. The host was nearby whenever we needed assistance, but honestly, we didn't have any issues. I really loved this place — it was perfect for our family reunion with five brothers and their wives. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again. It was a truly wonderful experience.

Thank you, Anita, for your wonderful review! It’s great to know you had everything you needed for a fantastic getaway. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had five adults and four kids in the home and it was perfect! The private rooftop patio (SeaWorld fireworks every night), accessibility to the beach (we watched a dolphin play in the bay), and room for everyone to spread out were perks! We were also appreciative of the pop up shade, wagon, and beach gear!
When we arrived at the property, we kept saying the pictures weren’t able to do the property justice! It is so well kept and beautiful! The views from the rooftop deck are breathtaking and we had ample space for all 12 family members.

Truly a bayside escape!
I stayed in this condo with eight of my friends. We are all senior citizens. We found the two-story condo to be delightful! It was clean and well appointed. It looked exactly like it's beautiful pictures. The bedrooms were a good size and each couple had their own room. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the dining table sat ten people so we had plenty of room and seating capacity. We also had access to the rooftop patio which we use almost every night for grilling or wine and cheese while we enjoyed the 360° views. Two of the couples had never been to San Diego and they couldn't get over how beautiful the beach and bay area were. Also, the condo is very close to all of the places we wanted to visit such as La Jolla, Balboa Park, and Coronado. It is also close to the airport. Planes from the airport do come directly over this area, but it wasn't a problem for anyone in our group. Drift management personnel were helpful and answered my texts quickly. There was a problem with the elevator during our stay, but for the most part it worked and was very helpful since the condo is on the third and fourth floor of the building. I will definitely return to this condo in the future.

Beautiful property.
Great property and location. Felt like we are in our own home. Company was great to work with.
This rental was every bit as awesome as the pictures posted on VRBO! The views were amazing, the living area was large, kitchen had a large refrigerator that kept drink really cold. The bedrooms were spacious and there were plenty of bathrooms for the 8 of us who stayed. Excellent food options within walking distance. Our two favorite spots were the rooftop deck and for me the gorgeous water view from the living room. Drift was great to accommodate a special request we had for checkout. I would highly recommend this property!!!

Great Property
The layout was perfect for our large family of 12. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Only complaint is it was very hard to find a parking spot. We had one garage space but none of our cars could fit in the garage. Beds were also very comfortable!
This was one of the nicest vacation homes we e stayed in. Abdul tell loved the huge bedrooms, comfy beds, and views from every room plus the private rooftop patio. We will definitely return.

We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to hosting you next time Jennifer!
This was a wonderful property, with a great location. The kitchen was very well equipped. The upper roof was wonderful--the grill, firepit, seating areas, views of the ocean, and nightly fireworks from Sea World, all helped to make it a special place. It was an amazing vacation shared by three generations. We loved it!
My extended family had a fun reunion in this beautiful, well-equipped unit. It is located right on Mission Bay, with scenic views of the Bay from its large windows and rooftop deck. The ocean is just a two-block walk away. The management company was extremely informative and responsive.

A very clean, comfortable and well supplied home with incredible views of the sunrise and sunset from the rooftop deck. The managers were very quick to respond to questions on two different occasions, including on Thanksgiving day. Very quiet in the condo - never heard the neighbors. Great location on the beach and near playground for families with small children

Thank you so much for your great review, Gail! We are thrilled to know that we met your expectations :)
Beautiful!!! So much room and plenty of room for everyone!!!
7 of us took a girls trip to San Diego and the property was stunning! We were lucky enough to get the 3rd floor suite and had sole access to the rooftop deck and picnic area. 4 bathrooms were perfect for our group and all of the bedrooms were a very nice size. It was an absolutely wonderful vacation, even though the weather did not want to cooperate. Definitely recommend this place 1000%!!!
