All photos and descriptions were accurate. Small but utterly charming except for driftwood crucifix over bedroom door.Sadly, during the day the porch is unusable due to departing jets from San Diego International Airport. At night acrid smoke from trash being burnt on beach was thick enough to appear as fog. This continued all night in spite of sign saying no fires after midnight.We stayed for only the first night out of a week reserved. No refund offered.

Absolutely amazing place to stay in Mission Beach…what a find! I’ve stayed at rentals all over the USA, particularly ones at the beach and I’ve never enjoyed one as much as this one. The patio is simply amazing, the house is super cute, clean and well maintained. The garage was an huge bonus and it was loaded with high quality beach gear, bikes, boards, chairs, umbrellas, smash ball paddles…it had everything one might want or need. I’ll be back for sure!

Literally steps from the beach. Location is safe and quiet. The community is friendly. Beach is not overcrowded. Great location for exploring San Diego and/or hanging out at the beach. Ronnie is very kind and great with communicating. E'toile de Mer is somewhere we look forward to visiting again. It was just what we needed as a family, a peaceful and relaxing getaway!

Great Stay in South Mission Beach

We have been coming to South Mission Beach for over 10 years now and have probably stayed at 8 or 9 different places. This was one of our favorites. The front Patio area is by far the best we have had and the owners were wonderful hosts.
