Family Staycation

This place was perfect for our family! My husband and I and our 3 daughters and their families stayed here. The house fit us perfectly...each family got their own room. We never felt crowded. You can't beat this location, right across the street from the beach, and the peaceful bay is out front. There are numerous restaurants that are a quick walk away. The house has lots of places to sit outside, and bikes, paddle boards, beach chairs, and more to use. Also room for 5 cars to park. We hope to visit again next year!! This was an easy and fun vacation for all of us!

Great location and so well appointed

We stayed here for a week long family vacation. Our ages for 9 guests spanned from 8 years old to 50. This is a great location with footstep access to the bay and only a short 2 block walk to the ocean side beach. Loved having all the water “toys” readily available. Plenty of room for everyone and the multiple outdoor spaces were wonderful for morning coffee, happy hour drinks, and sunset. Owner was so communicative and responsive. Only a 15-20 min to drive to everything we wanted to see: La Jolla, Torrey Pines, the zoo, sea world, downtown. Highly recommend!

Awesome Bayside Stay

My family and I stayed here Labor Day weekend and had the absolute best time. The property is so cool, beautiful, comfortable and clean. And the location was amazing. Easy walk to everything. It also comes with an amazing garage filled with everything you need to enjoy the bay, waves and boardwalk. We loved it so much we booked it again on our way home. Highly recommend the property.

Perfect Family House

We had the main house and the upstairs apartment which worked amazingly well for our family of four, a friend with a three-year old, and another friend who joined us for a few days. During our week's stay (March, 2024) the beach was lively and fun without being chaotic. We played on the beach, swam, used the nearby kid's park, rode the bikes that came with the house, cooked and grilled a ton, and were able to really unwind. The management staff were friendly and helpful. Loved it.

We have a really nice quiet time here. The kitchen had everything we could want, full size washer & dryer plus the garage was full of toys. The house was just great. Better then I had imagined. The host was amazing too, easy to get a hold of for any questions I had. Hopefully next time I can stay longer.

Absolutely loved this place! The management company answered every phone call and was available 24/7 to answer questions. The property is perfect for families, especially if you have young children. It is on the sand right on the bay. The property had kayaks, SUPs, bicycles, etc for use. Anything and everything you would want! The property was clean and had all the cookware you would need to prepare meals. We will definitely be going back!

Place by the bay

I loved staying bayside. It is far more chill than surf side. We stayed in the middle floor. Ample room. I loved the big garage door fronts that allowed a lot of air flow. Lots of beach toys in the garage. All beds were comfy and clean. Kitchen had everything you needed. Tons of restaurants and bars in walking distance. We had a concert in Chula Vista one night and El Cajon the next. Worked out great.

Great location, very nice house that is very well stocked with everything you could need!

Our family loved this house!! We stayed here in early November. Great location and a very short walk to the beach side. It was on the bay side so not as busy but perfect for our 3 year old. The house is very well stocked with everything a family could possibly need - towels, chairs, beach stuff, bikes, the best stocked kitchen we have ever experienced! We made cupcakes for our mother’s birthday and there were 3 cupcake pans! I would definitely recommend this place. There were 9 of us and it was plenty big enough. We really enjoyed running along the beach and riding bikes. We opened the garage doors every day and it was very enjoyable!

Excellent Bay side LUXURY

We have been staying in VRBOs across the US, Mexico and Canada since 2004, this is by far the best appointed and better-than-advertised that we’ve ever stayed at! The beds, bedding, towels, and appliances are first class; the pantry gave us coffee and spices as well as paper products and storage options. Toys (bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, etc) for the beach and water are all available as are games, books, and TV for inside. We were given clear instructions for entry and INSTANT responses when we asked for recommendations. Seriously, this place is amazing and the location is a perfect spot to stay put OR launch to do other things. Thank you for being AMAZING hosts!

Great location

We initially had planned a family trip with my daughter and her family but at the last minute they had to cancel, so my husband and I had the whole place to ourselves. The unit was as pictured online and, besides being right on the bay, was a short walk to the ocean. Instructions for checking in were emailed prior to arrival and made accessing the property quite smooth. Parking is the only issue than could have been a problem. There was already a car parked on the outside and our Kia Sportage rental just fit in the garage. We initially had a minivan which I’m not sure would have fit. Also after washing clothes the night prior to leaving we found the dryer wasn’t working. It was too late to call anyone so we managed to air dry the clothes. Even though we didn’t have the trip we had planned, we did enjoy our stay.

Property Was Clean Hours before they let us in

We had a problem with main door lock several times--the door lock is loose but there must be other issues and should be replaced to allow for easier access to the property once you have entered the access code. Other locks around the doors are also loose. The large front awning closes intermittently without activating it or programing. The instructions should identify which alley way leads to the property like Vanitie off of Mission Street. It appears the unit had been cleaned hours before we arrived at noon. We waited for that promised message that we could get in early, but it never came. During that entire time there was no cleaning crew or vehicles parked around the two garages; access to the property could have come much earlier. Many of the cooking utensils were old are pretty dated and can be replaced. There was a construction vehicle parked at the property the entire time we waited. We also appreciated the one hour extension at the end of our stay. Thank you

Excellent location, stocked well with amenities, great property manager

We stayed for one week in July 2018 with 4 adults and 3 children. It was located perfectly in a quieter area of Mission Bay right on the beach. We had plenty of space. Don’t go buy any beach toys because they have it all ready to go in the garage. Rowena, the property manager, was quickly available and I have never before experienced the level of service she provided. She even dropped off skewers and supplies for s’mores. They have a fire pit to use on the beach too. The kids loved it. The busier beach location is just two small blocks away. There are many restaurants and coffee shops close by (but they supply the coffee too). It is a few minutes from Sea World and very close to the zoo too. We were in the second floor unit and never even heard the guests staying above and below us. The air conditioning is only in the bedrooms so the communal living area does get warm during the day and opening the cool living room garage doors let a lot of flies in. We had to have the fly swatter handy and make sure to not leave any food out. They did provide a couple fans which helped some. Overall it was one of our favorite trips. We are planning to return next year because there is so much more to do in that area-we just did not have enough time.

Beautiful place for a vacation

This home is beautiful. The pictures give you the impression you are getting the entire home but unfortunately that isn’t the case. Kind of misleading but beyond that it was awesome. Your 1 maybe 2 blocks from mission beach. You have the cove steps off your back porch. Your a couple blocks from really anything you can think of. Great property!!! Wish we had known that there was 3 or 4 rentals in one home prior to going is all.
