About this property

Nothing beats Ocean Front

There really is nothing like being ocean front. A beach vacation is always nice but the difference from being a few blocks away from the ocean and being ocean front is really like being miles apart. This is an opportunity to be ocean front in South Mission Beach one of the premiere locations any where in the world and our location is away from the large parking lots where the beach gets crowded. Many days at our house you'll feel like you are on a private beach. Treat your family to an OCEAN FRONT vacation and you'll never want to stay anywhere else.

Comfortable one bedroom apartment directly on the ocean front, direct ocean views from the living room and kitchen. Located in a quiet area in South Mission Beach but only a five minute walk to the attractions at Belmont Park.

Just a block away you'll find a liquor store, a grocery store, a coffee shop, a pizzeria, a bar & grill and take out Mexican food.

A maximum of four people are allowed on the property at any one time. Please no events or parties. Great for a small family or a couples getaway.

Inside direct ocean view from the living room and kitchen. Fully furnished kitchen. DirectTV and free WIFI access. Simmons Beautyrest Heavenly King Bed with an adjustable base in the bedroom and queen memory foam sleeper sofa in the living room. All linens provided. New laminate flooring in the living room and bedroom, tile in the kitchen and bathroom.

Outside step onto the beach or enjoy the patio with a table, chairs, loungers and umbrellas. BBQ on gas grill while enjoying the ocean views.

Onsite outside parking for one medium sized vehicle. (large vehicles like a Suburban will fit but it's tight)

We're a five minute drive from Sea World, a 20 minute drive to the world famous San Diego Zoo and about 40 minutes to Lego Land. San Diego is home to many golf courses including Torrey Pines about 30 minutes away.

We spent 3 nights and now I wish we stayed longer. The location was amazing and we loved sitting outside taking in the view. We also had our 3 year old toddler and he loves the beach so this was a a perfect location. Would definitely stay here again.

Nothing better than waking up and going for a walk on the boardwalk coming back and enjoying your coffee on the patio. Bike rides and afternoon / evening cocktails while watching the sunset. Great place to stay .

The location was perfect. The beach is literally right outside the front door. The Mission Beach boardwalk is walking distance as is Belmont Park. Restaurants were close by. Furthermore, most of the attractions around San Diego are no more than 20 minutes away at the most. Sea World is under 10 minutes away and Balboa Park is under 20 minutes. The location is the biggest plus for this property. Definitely 5 stars. In terms of the apartment itself, we really only spent the evenings at the unit which made it perfect for us. If I were being honest, the apartment itself was perhaps a little sub-average. Definitely not terrible but not the nicest either. It was OK and worked for what we were looking for. Would we stay there again? Perhaps. There were only three of us. Two slept in the main bedroom (with the king bed). This was comfortable. One of us slept on the couch pull out bed. To be fair, most pull out beds are not comfortable. And this one is no different. The pillows for the pull out should be replaced (they were very flat). But again, we only spent the evenings at the property so all of the shortcomings were minor inconveniences in the grand scheme of things. The property manager was very responsive. We lost an Apple Watch outside the property somewhere. One of the other guests in the upstairs unit found it and let the property manager know. He quickly notified us which was greatly appreciated. In summary, location5 stars; responsive host4 stars; apartment itself2 stars

Beautiful ocean view

It was a wonderful stay overall. Nothing beats a front ocean view right on the boardwalk. Close to restaurants if you don't mind walking a bit. Great patio, very enjoyable. Word of warning if you have little ones and/or an extended stay. There is no washer/dryer, so plan accordingly. The kitchen has no counter space and the cabinets/cupboards are outdated and need force to open and close. There is no A/C which was not a problem with the fans available. Parking was difficult as we had a 4Runner. Very small space to the extent that I had to back out just to pack when we left. Minor issues for the price. Being right on the ocean is all that mattered.

Any closer you’d be in the water

We had a great stay, the first night the upstairs people were a little loud, but they checked out the next day and the rest of our stay all we ever heard from the upper unit were occasional footsteps. The kitchen was well equipped, we had breakfast every morning before we went out for the day. Bed was very firm not a complaint just an fyi. Shower was great, living room and outdoor spaces were good. Right on the path that goes from one end of the beach to the other, beach volleyball right out front daily, nice to watch while having an end of day beer! My only issue was I washed the dishes and cutlery when we arrived, the previous renters were not as particular as me. But that aside it was perfect for our little vaycay, if you are expecting luxury, keep scrolling but if you are looking for a great place to stay this is great. There is a little Mexican place within walking distance called “Sara’s” 2 minute walk and we LOVED it, fresh, fast and delicious! We also ate at a place called “draft” and it was pretty “meh”. Would stay here again. Super quiet at night!

Great beachfront spot

Perfect location just steps from the sand. This cute little condo had everything we needed including a comfortable bed. Close enough to walk to restaurants but far enough to stay quiet. There’s also two markets about a block away for essentials. Perfect large patio space to sit and watch the sunset and enjoy some volleyball. Also very close to SeaWorld, downtown, or La Jolla.

Great location and clean

We loved being able to go right out on the beach and walk to Belmont! It was very easy to check in and out. And very easy to communicate with the owner. The only issue was when the folks staying in the place next to us arrived it was quite loud - when anyone is walking or moving around in the space above you it is quite loud

About the host

Hosted by L. Webb

Host profile image
My wife and I are 40 year plus residents of South Mission Beach and raised our four children here. We love giving families the opportunity to enjoy what we've experienced for years.

Why they chose this property

We think South Mission beach is San Diego's finest. Pretty much the only people on the beach are those who live or are renting in a few square block area. One of the widest beaches in Southern California.

What makes this property unique

Ocean Front! Awesome views from the living room and kitchen. It's an ever changing picture. The outside patio area is perfect for people watching and BBQ's. We love to skate and bike ride on the boardwalk which runs along the ocean and also extends around Mission Bay. Literally five minutes away from Sea World and fifteen minutes away form the San Diego Zoo. Awesome views from sun up to sunset.
