Just as Incredible the Second Time
We loved this home so much that we came back for a second year in a row—and somehow it was just as amazing the second time.
I wrote a detailed review after our stay last year (4/21/25), and I stand by every word of it. If you want the full rundown, I'd encourage you to check that out—but the short version is: this place is still one of the best beachfront rentals in Mission/Pacific Beach. The location, views, comfort, and overall experience are just hard to beat.
What really stood out coming back this year is how well everything has been maintained. The home still feels fresh, clean, and incredibly well cared for—something that's not always guaranteed with vacation rentals. It honestly felt just as special as our first stay.
And once again, Drift Properties was fantastic to work with. Just like last year, they were responsive, friendly, and helpful without ever being overbearing. They've really nailed that balance, and it makes the entire experience smooth and stress-free.
At this point, it's more than just a great rental—it's become a bit of a tradition for us. Huge thanks again to the owners and to Drift for another incredible stay. We're already hoping to make it three years in a row.
Amazing property! Beach front as described looking into a clean and quiet portion of Mission Beach. Located far enough down that it was a way from tourist traffic. Place was really well decorated with fully equipped kitchen and laundry. Master bedroom mattress was the only downside; it was thin and really firm, but the ability to have doors open to look directly onto the beach more than made up for it!

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beachfront location, peaceful setting, and the amenities. The owners live here for half the year and absolutely love the mattress, as do most of our guests, but we truly appreciate you sharing your perspective. It’s always helpful to hear what stands out so we can continue making every stay as comfortable as possible. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Couldn’t have asked for a better home or location for our family of four. Such a fun area and so much to do! And sitting on the deck looking out at the ocean was perfect!!

Gorgeous condo in a quieter park of the beach side boardwalk. Stunning sunset view from the balcony. Spotless interior. Perfect spot to enjoy the beach!

Exceeded Expectations
Our rental was spotless. The owners really put a lot of thought into the amenities and stocking the home with all of the necessities and more. Drift was very responsive to any questions we had. Check-in/out was easy. We would stay again.

Jackie, thank you for sharing your feedback with us, we're so pleased you loved our home and would stay here again-- we'd love to have you! We apologize for the oven not working properly and have shared your comments with the local manager. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again soon.
Unit was as expected. Great location. The dishwasher was broken and management company was understanding when we called them and schedule the repair. It would be nice if the street level seating spots were available with the 3rd floor unit. Also, loaner bikes would be a great additions.
My group had two generations of current realtors and property managers...and we were highly impressed with the care and detail that went into making guest comfortable

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to a chance to return. With ocean and beach views, updated technology, a beautiful kitchen to cook in, and an easy check in/check out process this was a relaxing and memorable vacation. The rental was clean and well maintained. We had one minor inconvenience with the oven not working and management was quick to reply and sent someone out to fix first thing the next morning. Very happy with our choice and would recommend to anyone!

Thanks so much for your review, Michelle! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back again :)
This is a great condo- perfect location on the beach, spacious and nicely updated. Only one big issue for my husband and me- the mattress in the master bedroom is terrible. That alone would keep me from coming back, maybe not a deal breaker for younger people but those of us 50+ need a good mattress! So would love to come back if the master gets a new mattress (and pillows too really).

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location and the updates to the condo. We appreciate your feedback about the mattress in the master bedroom. We strive to provide a high-end mattress, but we understand that comfort is quite personal, and not everyone has the same preference.
We will definitely take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our space. We’d love to welcome you back in the future!

Annual Beach Trip
We stayed in this beach house for the second time for our annual beach trip. We love this house. We travel to San Diego every summer for our annual family beach trip and this last trip was absolutely wonderful. The view from the house is spectacular. The house itself is equipped with everything you need for a family vacation. The kitchen is fully stocked. We did not have to bring anything from home. We cooked almost every night and the kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms are spacious. The bathrooms are beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return to stay in this house again many times. We love this spot on the beach.
The property managers are very attentive. Any issue we had was resolved very quickly. The staff is responsive and professional. I have nothing but good things to say. I would highly recommend staying here. It's perfect for a family. The setting is gorgeous. We made many wonderful memories on the beach and look forward to staying here again next year. Thank you for a great stay. You helped make our vacation wonderful. I truly appreciate all you did to make our stay as wonderful as it was.

BEST!
This place was perfect! My husband & I took our two college age kids for a week before school was starting back up. This apartment was great…located at the end of the beach so not as crowded, our porch overlooked volleyball nets that were so much fun to watch, and we could easily walk to a market, fresh coffee, Belmont Park (shops and restaurants). The provided garage had beach chairs, an umbrella, games, all for our use. The inside was AMAZING! Everything we needed to cook a few meals there, the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked and ready to use. There were three bedrooms, and three bathrooms…modern, comfortable, clean, and well-stocked. Plus an office in the back with its own porch (which my husband used daily to keep up with work). Puzzles, games, lovely gas fireplace for chilly mornings or evenings, Alexa everywhere!, chargers, instant replies to questions, …seriously, this was a wonderful rental through and through…we will definitely be back!
