About this property
Location location!! Adorable + Affordable 1-bedroom cottage in the heart of MB!
In the center of Mission Beach lies a delightful one-bedroom cottage, providing a warm and welcoming haven for your stay in sunny San Diego. Step out of your front door and you'll find yourself just seconds from the bay and just a few minutes walk from the famous Mission Beach Roller Coaster and the lively Mission Beach boardwalk, where you can play in the waves, stroll along the coastline or hop on your bike or skates, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere with the BEST people watching.
Back at the cottage, you'll find all the comforts of home, including free WiFi, a washing machine and dryer, and central A/C and heat. Prepare delicious meals in the fully stocked kitchen, equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and all the necessary appliances and utensils. Enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table, or step outside and fire up the grill for an alfresco feast. Or dine out at one of the many excellent restaurants nearby! The small, attached, one car garage is a bonus perk!
When it's time to unwind, curl up on the living room sofa and enjoy a movie on the smart TV where you can stream your favorite channels. With all the essentials, as well as thoughtful extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, travel crib, high chair, blow dryer, iron etc., this cottage is the perfect home base for your San Diego adventure.
This cottage is one unit of a duplex. The patio/bbq is shared between the units but each cottage unit has its own designated side.

About the host
Hosted by Karin Watkins
Hi there! Karin and Mark here! We live in San Diego and have two teenage kids and one Yorkie named Barkley. Mark runs a local business and Karin is busy managing our vacation rentals. Being a property manager/vacation host has been a fun journey, really getting to know some great people along the way. Fortunately our guests have all been wonderful and it's been our pleasure to find new ways to make our rentals even more comfortable and enjoyable.
Why they chose this property
We chose this cottage because we love hanging out in Mission Beach! There seems to be something to do for everyone! We looked at properties for a year and half and knew this would be perfect for us the moment we saw it! We loved the front patio, just being able to relax there with a good book or BBQ with friends. It's a great place to hang out and people-watch as there is a walkway which connects the bay to the ocean right in front. We felt the location was ideal, as it is within walking of everything we like to do ~ biking on the boardwalk, taking the kids to the roller coaster, swimming in the ocean or jogging along the bay... There is a huge park across the street and tons of restaurants and shopping within walking and/or biking distance.
What makes this property unique
We provide everything you need for a day at the beach! Beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, etc. Plus we have beach cruisers, paddle boards and a kayak for rent which will be available at the property when you arrive. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking or grilling on the BBQ and there is a washer/dryer and one car garage for your use. Well behaved pups are welcome! The biggest is the LOCATION, which just can't be beat. Our cottage is in the heart of MB. We like that it is super close to everything, yet just far enough away that you don't have all the noise. Just a minute's walk to everything!
