Cutest gem for our San Diego short stay!

In celebration of my daughter’s college graduation - her best friend joined us on a short celebratory trip on Mission Beach. This house is so precious- cozy & Extremely comfortable.Robin the owner, was impressively helpful and responded immediately with communication and answers to questions.It is one of the only original houses where the rest of the neighborhood has mostly been torn down and built with more modern homes. Robin has done a wonderful job of updating and the decoration/vibe was so appealing. It looks like the main space that has not had a major renovation is the bathroom. It’s small & simple but clean and worked fine.

True Mission Beach cottage - Cute!!

We're local to San Diego, have 2 kids 9 and 6, and just wanted a break and change from the winter break routine. The kids got new bikes and roller-blades for x-mas so we though, Mission beach would be awesome. We could just head out the door and go up and down the boardwalk!Found this gem of a place on VRBO. The pictures and description are spot on and it won't disappoint. It's an old house but very much updated. For our family of 4, it was prefect. We stayed in the winter so our concern was around having heat at night. There were space heaters that quickly warmed up the place. The owner was SUPER responsive and easy to work with. Only downside was parking (parking stinks in mission beach and the fact you have 2 spaces is amazing!!). Just keep in mind you need 2 pretty small cars to fit 2. 1 - no problem. Not a deal breaker by any means. Just park the car you don't need to go in and out of on the street and the other at the property. We'll be back and highly recommend this property. We had a blast!

Mission Beach Cottage

This cottage is perfect, complete with modern furnishings, appliances, and a fully stocked kitchen. The outdoor patio is a great space to relax after a long day. The beds are the most comfortable we've ever slept on. The location is close to everything you could want; park the car and walk to the bay, the beach, and all the restaurants. The host is very responsive and knows all the local hotspots. Will definitely return to this one!

Perfect

This cottage was exactly what we needed. Location is spot on. So easy to get to the beach and bay! We loved having the firepit for our chilly nights. Bathroom sink is small which I already knew from pictures but the upstairs vanity/desk made up for it!! Robin was wonderful with communication! Hopefully it works out that we'll be able to stay again in the future!

Great Little Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was so cute and remodeled so well. The kitchen was well stocked and the other house amenities such as beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels and bikes were so nice to have. The location is an easy walk to so many great coffee shops, restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again.

The perfect trip!

This beach cottage was fantastic! I have no complaints at all. The house is charming and ideally situated between the bay and the ocean, making it the perfect spot, close to everything. The rooftop was wonderful for relaxing in the evenings, and they provided beach chairs, an umbrella, and even boogie boards. The host was excellent—she responded immediately and was always helpful. I will definitely return next year!

Wonderful Experience

I absolutely loved this cottage! It was so clean; so well taken care of; great location near the center of everything; beautifully decorated; comfortable; and most importantly, Robin, the hostess, was a pleasure to work with. If we are able, we’d like to continue renting this cottage from Robin every summer. We had a great time and so many amenities for the family to use! Thanks again, Robin!

Second Stay

This was our family’s second stay at this wonderful beach home & it was just as amazing as our last. The home is comfy, cozy & clean. Great location with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. It’s a short walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to the bay! Another incredible stay—thank you, Robin!

In the middle of it all

We loved how nestled the location is in the thick of mission beach. We were one block from the bay and three blocks from the ocean in either direction! Very laid back neighborhood with a great rooftop outdoor space. We cooked and/or grilled almost all our meals and the kitchen with a gas stove was great every night. The place makes the most of every foot and is a deceptively big beach house. The owner was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. Cannot wait to come back.

Relaxing getaway

I had the most wonderful stay at this cozy San Diego cottage! From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was a breeze, setting the tone for a relaxing getaway. The location was fantastic, just a short 3-minute walk to the beach, allowing us to easily enjoy the sun, sand, and surf whenever we pleased. The cleanliness of the cottage was top-notch, making us feel right at home. We couldn't help but chuckle and call it our own little slice of the Jersey Shore - it had that fun, laid-back vibe that added to the charm of our experience. The host was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Their great communication made us feel well taken care of throughout our time there. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a cozy and enjoyable retreat in San Diego.

Great home base for our trio!

This was the perfect home base for our trio while visiting with extended local family for a week. We easily walked to or made breakfast there, headed out to the beach to hang out or just to stroll and watch the surfers. We slept well and there were plenty of space heaters to keep us comfy when the temperature dropped. Parking was easy for our rental mid-size SUV. Such a wonderful cottage with nice warm feel that we were always happy to come home to. I also should add that the owner, Robin, was super easy, responsive, and pleasant to communicate with. So a great experience for us from start to finish.

Perfect Little Beach House

We had an amazing time staying at this little gem. It was cute, cozy and clean—all things that really matter to us. Great location, close to the beach, bay, restaurants and coffee shops. It was so convenient having a parking space provided as well. Communication with Robin was great when we had a small issue arise, and it was quickly resolved. We’ve stayed at multiple beach homes on Mission for the last decade and can honestly say this is one of our favorites. We hope to be lucky enough to stay here again soon!
