Our first family trip to San Diego was amazing because we had John as our host. The condo was clean and is equipped with everything you need such as coffee maker, cookware, utensils, beach gear, and the sofa bed. We love that the beach and shops were within walking distance. Being able to watch the sunset every night was incredible. I highly recommend the vrbo!

My wife and I stay was comfortable, the condo was clean and well stocked with essentials. Its location was 10 minute walk from stores and restaurants. We did not have a car for our stay and my wife is 71 and I’m 74, we had no issues getting anywhere by foot. We highly recommend this property.

The rooms were hot when we entered and it took over an hour to get the place cooled down. The number for the parking was not visible so we had to search for the stick and put it back up. The entrance to the parking was very steep, uneven and difficult to enter.

Thoughtfully appointed, very clean and charming little spot close enough to walk to everything but situated in a lovely quiet neighborhood. The apartment itself does not have any views but having access to the beautiful shared patio was perfect. I like a quiet spot to watch the waves and read a book and this hit all the marks. The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with.

This OB gem was fantastic! The owners had great local recommendations for places to eat and visit. The shared patio has stunning, clear views of the ocean and sunsets. We explored the tide pools down below - highly recommend! It is a very easy and quick walk into town for coffee, ice cream, and shops. We appreciated the dedicated parking spot for the unit. It was the perfect amount of space for my husband and I during a week-long conference in Mission Beach. Thank you!!

The condo was very clean and very comfortable. The host was quick to respond to any questions. This is in a great location - within a half mile walk to the beach and restaurants and 10 minute drive to the airport. The views of the ocean from the patio around the back were spectacular as well as the sunset views.

The only thing I noticed was homeless folks often slept on front Knoll. And the property was not a direct walk out to the ocean or beach. That was unclear on the advertisement.
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 4 May 2026
Thank you for letting us know, but no one has ever mentioned. As the owners, we are there every year for months at a time and we've never experienced homeless folks hanging outside on the knoll, which I assume you mean top/edge of the cliff away from property. Correct, it is not a direct walk to the ocean or beach unless one was able to walk down the cliff, which is not recommended, but the Property Description of our Cliffside Getaway states: "This building sits on a small bluff directly overlooking the tide pools, and ocean below. The patio also has a great view of the famous Ocean Beach pier, and surrounding coastline." In the Location and View, it states: There's also a quaint beach (Santa Cruz) around the corner. Thanks for your feedback and please come again.
