This property was absolutely gorgeous! The highlight was probably the primary en suite bathroom with the jetted tub and shower with rain head and body jets. The location is fantastic, with the best tacos, a convenience store, and yummy breakfasts literally steps from the front door. Plus access to the beach and bay are less than a minute away. Be prepared to be humbled and frustrated by the garage: we have a small suv and even then, you’ll need a spotter and possibly to move the garbage bins on the other side of the alley to get yourself in there! Overall, this was a splurge that was 100% worth it!

Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with Bluewater Vacation Homes, Marissa! We’re thrilled to hear that you found our South Mission Beach Retreat, absolutely gorgeous and enjoyed the luxurious primary en suite bathroom with the jetted tub, rain shower, and body jets — truly a spa-like retreat.
The unbeatable location, with the best tacos, a convenience store, and delicious breakfast spots just steps from your door, makes it perfect for exploring and relaxing. Plus, being less than a minute from the beach and bay allowed you to fully enjoy the beautiful San Diego coastline. At Bluewater, our commitment is to provide clear and comprehensive information about each listing, including details about room configuration, accessibility, amenities, and parking dimensions. We're glad it didn’t detract from your overall experience and still enjoy everything San Diego has to offer, from the beautiful beaches to easy access to local attractions.
We’d love to host you again for another memorable stay. Until then, safe travels and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Perfect space and location for family vacation. Less than 2 minute walk to Beach or Bay. Close to market and GREAT taco stand. Property was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed. Kitchen very well equipped. Can't wait to go back!

Location was fabulous. Mission Beach is awesome, but maybe even more importantly the home was lovely, clean, and perfect! Property managers were the best I’ve ever worked with and this is definitely a location I would go back to again. I appreciated the welcome gift and all of the touch points along the way!

Thank you very much again for having chosen our vacation home for your stay in San Diego! It was truly a pleasure hosting you.
Just wrapped up a stay in Mission Beach and wanted to share a quick review for anyone considering this spot!Overall, this is a great property in a perfect location — super quiet, which can be hard to find in that area, and close to everything you’d want.A few honest notes for future guests:The garage is a bit tight, so I’d recommend avoiding a large vehicle if possibleThe living room setup is functional, but I would’ve loved a larger couch and more seating space (there is a pullout bed, so that may be the reason for the current setup)The outdoor area has potential — currently plastic chairs and a heavy concrete table, no firepit. Since this is where people tend to spend a lot of time, upgraded outdoor furniture would really elevate the experienceOn the plus side:The bedrooms are spacious and very comfortableThe home is clean and well-locatedOverall, it’s a really enjoyable place to stayA couple extra towels would’ve been nice, but nothing major.All in all, we had a great stay and would absolutely come back — just sharing a few thoughts that could make it even better!

Very spacious and well furnished property close to the beach and all of SD's attractions. Would stay there again and would recommend to anyone visiting SD.Only complaint - the garage parking is extremely difficult to park in - very tight for a mid size car and probably not usable for a large truck/SUV.

Thank you for staying with us and for your lovely review. You are welcome to return anytime and we will take great care of you. With warm regards, your friends at Bluewater Vacation Homes.
We stayed for Spring Break with a family of 5. The house was the perfect size, well stocked etc. We ran into 2 slight issues while there (internet outage and missing the grill cleaning equipment) and both times the property management company got back to us with a solution within minutes! We plan to make this an annual trip.

Very spacious. Cute little neighborhood. Literally one block to the beach. Kitchen table nook with 5 windows perfect for watching the neighborhood wake up in the morning. Tile work is gorgeous in master bath. Towels and linens were bright white and soft.

Thank you for the lovely review, Shawn! We're so glad you enjoyed the spacious layout and charming neighborhood, being just a block from the beach is hard to beat! It’s great to hear the breakfast nook, beautiful tile work, and soft, fresh linens made your stay extra special. We’d love to host you again soon!
Everything about this house was great! They layout, etc. The location was outstanding. Only criticism is parking. They have a garage that is very difficult to get in and out of. The good news is that once you're parked you can pretty much walk to anything.

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you loved the home and its unbeatable location. We understand the garage can be challenging, that's why we provide dimensions of our parking in advance and great tips about walking everywhere once you're parked. We hope to welcome you back soon!
We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely consider staying here again. The biggest highlight was the location. The house is just steps from both the beach and the bay, making it incredibly convenient to enjoy the water no matter which direction we walked.We love to cook, so the high-end kitchen and gas stove were huge positives. The washer and dryer were also a great bonus, especially with a group of six spending time at the beach every day. Another highlight was how easy it was to rent bikes, kayaks, and boogie boards nearby. We took full advantage of those options, and it made the trip even more enjoyable.There were a few minor disappointments. We rented a seven-passenger SUV for our group and luggage, but it would not fit in the garage because of the low ceiling height. To be fair, this was noted in the property description, and I simply did not pay close enough attention before booking. However, street parking can be very challenging in the area, so future guests with larger vehicles should keep that in mind.The dining table also felt cramped for six people, even though there were six chairs. Finally, we planned to use the grill one evening on the beautiful deck, but there was no propane tank available. Management apologized for the oversight, which we appreciated.Overall, the location, amenities, and ease of enjoying everything Mission Beach has to offer far outweighed the few inconveniences. We made great family memories and had a fantastic stay.
