Our group of women had the best time staying at this superbly located condo! Our host was nearby if we needed him..but we actually had everything we needed…beach chairs, towels, games, etc. We enjoyed sitting by the peaceful bay, walking over to the ocean, and hanging out by the pool! So. Much. Fun. Very nice place, Bob :)

The condo was a perfect location for our family. It was very clean and the living room couch was very comfortable. We liked the quite of the bay and the option that we could walk to the ocean and watch the sunset. The ocean side is very busy and is very noisy. The parking is tight but it worked. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, but I would have a few more containers with lids. We cooked several breakfast and dinners at the condo and the stove and oven worked well. Our only issues were that he did not have Wifi which he said he was having fixed, the shower in the second bathroom did not get hot, and the mattress in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable on the left side of the bed.

Great family vacation stay!

We hosted our son and his family for a great summer vacation week. The location is perfect. Having the bay outside your door plus the beach just a couple of blocks away was perfect for our mixed age family group.. The location to the Catamaran Resort was an added benefit with pool and Spa privileges. Great kitchen. General review.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. This location was perfect. The host was lovely and introduced himself and showed us around which was an incredible touch. I felt like we were staying with family! The ability for the kids to walk out the front door and on to sand to play was amazing. The area was so quiet and safe, with tons of places to eat either a short walk or short drive away. The Pacific Ocean was less than two block walk but we preferred the quieter bay. Very easy access to all the tourist attractions like the zoo. The place itself was perfect for us (family of four with two kids). I loved having the space you wouldn’t get with a hotel, and the fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. My only negative on the list was that i didn’t book a longer stay!

We loved staying at this beach front property on the bay! The location was perfect! It was a close walk to great restaurants and breweries! We rented bikes and had a pleasant ride along the bay and the beach! We had access to the resort pool, spa & their arcade! Bob was wonderful and very attentive! He gave us great recommendations and answered all our questions. Can't wait to go back again!

Amazing Location and Amenities

We loved our stay at Bob and Miriam’s condo on Mission Bay. The location can’t be beat and offers excellent amenities including a clean, safe beach for the kids to play, great restaurant, pool and arcade next door and central location to all major San Diego attractions. The condo itself is very spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with our four young children. Bob and Miriam went out of their way to make our kids feel special (providing lots of toys/beach gear, setting up a beach fire, etc) and we can’t wait to return again in the future!

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation this summer and this condo was the hub of it all. Steps from the bay and the ocean, It's hands down the very best location and we hope to come back year after year. The condo itself was well appointed, tons of space and perfect for our family of four. The outdoor space is huge and a perfect place for us all to gather after a day at the beach.

Lovely setup and location… perfect

Situated steps from the sand on Mission Bay but still set back enough for a little privacy and a landscaped bayside patio area separated by a low manicured hedge, it was the perfect place to feel part of the beach scene joggers, beach volleyball and water sports. With all this nearby activity it was surprisingly quiet and peaceful allowing us to sleep well and work remotely. Our spacious first floor condo was perfect for us with its light and bright open floor plan and 2 bedrooms each with its own full bath, and a more central half bath that came in handy when we had a couple visitors. The place is clean and well stocked. We were so lucky to find this place and hope it will be available the next time we’re in the area.

Perfect Place for a Family Reunion

Right on Mission Bay, with grass and then lots of sand for children to play in, plus equipment and toys supplied by hosts. So easy! And right next to the fish, ducks, and macaws at the Catamaran Resort, with an excellent restaurant and pool in warm weather. Sunsets and surf are just one short block away,,,as are many breakfast places. This was our 4th visit to the property; we've stayed in both the 1st and 2nd floor units; each has its advantages, depending on ages of young children. And the hosts go our of their way to make one feel welcome and comfortable! We look forward to returning on our next visit to family in San Diego.

Perfect for families

We rented both this unit and the 2nd floor unit for our multi generational stay. We put the early rising kids in this one so that parents could easily take them outside on the lawn or for walks around the bay in the early hours. We did most of our living downstairs for basically the same reasons. The units were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We cooked on the charcoal grill outside when we did cook and the backyard got just the perfect amount of shade round about cocktail hour. The location is Persians the use of the Catamaran pool next door was perfect. We also could hear the music from the hotel functions when we were outside and it added a nice ambiance. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent this condo in the future.

Our family, including our 2-year-old, had a wonderful stay here. The location was perfect with direct access to the bay and sand, and the property came fully stocked with everything we needed—beach chairs, canopy, toys, boogie boards, and lawn games. When we first arrived, the home had been opened up to air out since there’s no air conditioning. On check-in day the humidity was high (88%) and definitely noticeable, but after that it tapered off and we were comfortable inside with the fans.One thing we noticed during our stay is that people from the alley would sometimes come up to the property’s gate and use it to access the bay, despite the private property sign. Since we have a young child, it did feel uncomfortable at times having strangers walk through. It might be helpful to add a deterrent or lock mechanism that only guests can access, as the public walkway to the bay is conveniently located just one house over.We also enjoyed relaxing on the patio and found it to be a great spot for hosting family and friends. Overall, this is truly a one-stop vacation spot that made our stay special.

About the host

Hosted by Miriam

Host profile image
After living in many areas of San Diego I realized in 1987, after vacationing on Mission Bay, that this is where I wanted my permanent home. I was born in Michigan, Bob in Alabama, and we both agree this is the perfect place to be!!

Why they chose this property

Beautiful property and fantastic location. We have been told by many of our guests that this is the best location at the beach and this is why they return to their home on the bay every year.

What makes this property unique

We can enjoy the more quiet lifestyle of the Bay and just
walk across the street to the different world of the ocean.
Great choices and great fun. Best of both worlds
