About this property

Lovely Beach Cottage w/AC, Parking & large patio!

* Note - If this property is booked, or does not suite your needs, please see my other Mission Bay Rentals - VRBO #497367 and #657994

This unique home is both private and quiet while still being in the center of all Mission Bay has to offer.

Located next door to the Catamaran Hotel and Spa with its gorgeous groomed beach with volleyball courts and much more...

The property is a unique 2 bedroom 1 bath plus sofa bed. One bedroom is on the main floor and the other is over the garage (via a interior stairway from the kitchen).

A full modern kitchen and a large living area with 48" flat screen TV.

Perfect for a couple, small families, or friend trips. The sand is but 30 ft away with a sandy path access to the beach through the patio.

The large courtyard is situated at the end of the cul de sac on Yarmouth Court. There is a beautiful tin roofed pergola, bar height table, seating for 8 amongst the palm trees. There are also two sun loungers, and propane barbecue. Perfect for barbecuing or lounging with a good book. (Patio is shared with the upstairs one bedroom unit and we do not allow events or parties: please refer to our house rules before booking.)

An interior remodel was completed in 2023. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need.

2 Queen size beds with white 500 plus thread count sheets, down and feather duvets and pillows in all bedrooms. Along with the crystal lamps throughout (dimmer controlled) and the candle light, you can't help but completely relax and be on holiday.

We include these items so you can enjoy your stay without incurring extra costs:

Boogie Boards
Beach Chairs
Sand Toys
Umbrellas
Washer/Dryer
(these items are located in the garage and shared with the one bedroom upstairs unit)

The cottage was cute, cozy, and well-appointmented. The location was excellent, as you are steps away from Mission Bay and a very short walk to Pacific and Mission Beaches. It is also an easy walk to a grocery store and numerous restaurants.

Such a cute beach cottage. It had a wonderful covered patio in front. It was nicely furnished, organized and clean. I loved the location. Almost perfectly in the heart of south mission & pacific beach. You can walk to everything. The house had absolutely everything I needed. I’d stay again no problem.

Lovely beach house’

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was immaculately clean (cleanest vacation home we’ve been in) and included everything we needed to cook meals. The beach items (chairs, umbrella, boards, toys, etc.) were so wonderful to have!

This is a beautifully furnished and very comfortable space. The location can't be beat, being able to easily go between the bay and the beach. I think we were a little close to Pacific Beach for our personal taste but everything was very walkable, and we felt very comfortable in this space. Everything is very clean, fresh and modern. The bathroom is particularly nice (very spacious.) Only quibble would be the proximity to the catamaran hotel and spa next door and being right behind their HVAC system, etc. It got a little noisy earlier in the morning, but really it's a very small inconvenience. Molly was fantastic, she was very accessible and easy to communicate with. He provided us with so much detail on how to make the most of our stay. It's a delightful rental.

This cottage is absolutely beautiful! It was the perfect location for my family to stay while we explored San Diego. It contained everything we needed - my girls loved the paddle board and the communication with Molly and Shaz was super quick-they really did go above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Thank you for having us!

Long weekend getaway

This was the perfect spot to spend a 14th birthday! Very close to beach and Woodys. Which has the best breakfast. Great location and easy to get around. House is stylishly decorated and maintains good temperature. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal. We loved our stay in San Diego and would definitely recommend this property.

Great multi-unit location

The two units provided a perfect home for a week for our 4-adult family. The units are well maintained and stocked, and the location is very convenient for bay, beach, coffee and food. The patio was great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Mornings can be a bit loud with workers from the adjacent hotel but being early risers that didn’t bother us. Communication with Chaz and Molly was great, definitely a place to come back to!

Lovely stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Molly’s cottage. The space was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 1 child. Our daughter enjoyed the small outdoor space just to kick her ball around, and there was ample space in the cottage for all of us to spread out. The location was great eating out and hitting up some local attractions with our daughter. If it’s beach time you want, you’re right between the bay and coast. Also, I appreciated that there were decent knives. I hate rentals that don’t account for the fact that we may cook! Anyway, I highly recommend the rental for your stay.

Wonderful stay at a wonderful place

Communication was spot on. Molly responded right away. We absolutely loved the location! We walked everywhere and if we needed to go further away we just Uber or Lyft. Really no need for a car. The place itself is beautifully decorated, plenty of dishes, cups etc. It was great having beach chairs available from the garage and hopefully next time we'll use the paddle boards with warmer weather! The space heater came in handy as we had a few chilly nights. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Great private spot!

Very nice property. Pictures accurate as advertised. It is at the end of Yarmouth Court with a private courtyard that we enjoyed in the morning and evening when we were'nt out and about. This place has everything; bikes, paddle boards, boogie boards, chairs and everything you would need for the beach which is only steps away from the sand. It is actually two separate units which was great for us. Everyone had their privacy! Shaz was very easy to deal with and we would definitely recommend this property and would come back!
