Great Time in Mission Beach!

We had an awesome time at this property, just as advertised and very quite at night. Close to the boardwalk/beach and in a section of Mission Beach that is not commercial, so no noisey crowds or loud parties. We were fornuate enough to meet the owners, who were in their larger unit on the property getting ready for the season, and they were very nice and accomidating. I would definatelty stay again!

Lovely Vacation!

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely 10-day vacation at the Dollhouse. It was a perfect location. We didn't rent a car, and used Lyft to easily get everywhere. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. We appreciated that it had toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc. We visited so many places from this location, such as the zoo, Midway, Balboa Park, La Jolla, and we saw so many amazing sunrises and sunsets while walking on the beach. Mission Beach is just beautiful.

Nice place!

We have family in the area so we mostly just used the place to sleep and shower. It was perfect for the five of us. The loft was bigger and more comfortable than expected, and the beds were all good. It’s a nice and quiet area, which we appreciated. Also love the proximity to the ocean.

Excellent stay!

Our family had a great time at the Dollhouse. The location is perfect - 30 second walk to the beach is key with a 2 year old :) The apartment had everything you'd need + parking was a huge plus!

Wonderful Beach Retreat!

We love this darling "dollhouse" retreat! Clean, cozy, and just 1 block from the beach, restaurants, and nearby activities, it is the perfect place to stay for some relaxing beach time! Our family looks forward to coming every year and we can't wait to go again!

The property location was great and was very clean.

The location was a short walk to the beach and had everything we needed. If (and when) we go back to San Diego, we would definitely stay there again. The property was great, the owners were extremely helpful and friendly, and we were well cared for!
