About this property

Right On The Beach! Exquisitely Remodeled 2BR/2BA . Perfect For Families.

Enjoy our completely remodeled and tastefully appointed 2-bedroom 2-bathroom waterfront home as a fun family adventure or a quiet getaway. Our home is located on the exclusive, private and peaceful Bayside, as opposed to the crowded, and noisy Oceanside of Mission Beach. From your cozy beach retreat, you will experience some of the finest panoramic views of famous Mission Bay. Absolutely perfect for children - You can step from your very spacious patio directly onto the fine beach sand of Mission Bay, and not have to worry about crossing a street. ‘Bayside Walk’ is right at your doorstep (One of the most scenic walking and biking trails in Southern California that curves gently around Mission Bay). If you are looking to enjoy big ocean waves and the hustle and bustle of Mission Beach, it is only a 5-minute stroll away.

Start your day relaxing inside or outside with a cup of coffee and watch a beautiful Bay sunrise. During the day, take advantage of 19 miles of sandy beaches, 14 miles of bike paths, a network of channels, islands, coves and wildlife preserves, including so many recreational activities that you could easily spend all your time at the bay without having to think about driving your car! When the sun goes down, fire up the BBQ, and look out over the blissfully quiet beach, and the tranquil calm water of the bay. Before you turn in, enjoy a grand view of the explosive and spectacular SeaWorld fireworks (seasonal) right from your own patio.

The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and is fitted with fine linens. There is a flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable and various streaming services that you can use with your own account. The bathroom is en-suite and has a single vanity and a large shower. You will enjoy stunning views of Mission Bay from your bed or walk out of the bedroom sliding door onto your patio that spills out directly to the beach.

The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a full-size bed (2 people) on the bottom and a twin-size bed (1 person) on the top. Fine linens are provided for all beds. There is a flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable and various streaming services that you can use with your own account. The bathroom is en-suite and has a single vanity and a large shower. There is a large walk-in closet that leads off the bedroom.

The living room has a full-sized sofa bed and accompanying fine linens. There is a large flat screen TV with Spectrum digital cable, and premium home theater surround sound stereo.

The kitchen is fully appointed with cooking, serving and dining ware. It has granite tops and high-end appliances including a professional Dacor stove top, convection oven, microwave oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

The dining area has a table that will seat 6 people comfortably. A wet bar with granite top is attached to the dining area.

There is a separate laundry room inside the house, that has a washer and dryer.

High-Speed wireless internet is provided throughout the house and will also work on the patio and beach in front of the home.

There is an off-street tandem parking space (2 spaces total). Note that the tandem bay was originally built at a time when vehicles were a little smaller, so if you have 2 full-sized SUV’s, they will not both fit into the bay. However, 1 full-sized SUV or truck and 1 small car will fit into the bay.

Please Note that if you are looking for a larger home, we also have a 3-bedroom 3-bathroom sister property that sleeps 8 and is in exactly the same location. Please go to www.vrbo.com/514308 This larger home has undergone a complete remodel from top to bottom.

Belmont Park's historic rollercoaster, Crystal Pier, the trendy, funky shops, cafes, restaurants, and nightlife of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach are your neighborhood destinations.

Easy access to San Diego County's most popular attractions including SeaWorld, the World-Famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Seaport Village, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Downtown San Diego, Coronado, Del Mar and much more.

55yr. High School Reunion

So impressed with the condo. Took my breath away. Clean, appointed, and comfortable. Easy and a close walk to the fun zones and the beach or a boardwalk stroll. Just have a small car, smaller like a Mini Cooper, for ease with the parking space provided, or not, to make a laughable memory.

VERY NICE PROPERTY AND LOCATION

The property is clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen is stocked very nicely with everything you need for cooking, even spices and Pam were there for our use. The location is great, right on the water and walking distance to shops, restaurants and Bellmont Park. The beach side is less than a 5 minute walk, which is nice because we stayed on the quieter side of the bay, but could walk to the beach if we wanted to for the big waves. I would recommend this property.

Vacation Saver

Saved our 2024 family trip. Had an absolutely horrible stay at Disneyland Grand resort that left everyone’s vacation ruined. We arrived here for the second leg of our trip and everything was exactly as it was represented so we were able to relax and reset. Great communication and instruction, fair price and a very well kept property. Thank you to the owners A+

Great Stay!

We had a fantastic stay. Location was perfect! Bathrooms could have been cleaned a bit better (door handle area visibly dirty, baseboards dirty and dusty). Checklist of items for us to complete seemed unreasonable (empty all garbages, ensure no dirty dishes - none even cleaned could remain in dishwasher, strip all bedding). Overall, our stay was a great one.

Great Spring Break getaway spot!!

Our family of 6 had an amazing time and enjoyed the beautiful views! It was close to most places, but still tucked away to avoid the busyness once we were settled in for the night. Thank you for helping make our Spring Break so memorable! The kids definitely enjoyed having their own little beach right out the back door.

Great spot

My kids and I, ages 12-19, loved our stay here. It was in a perfect spot to enjoy quiet time by the bay or take a four minute walk to the beach. The kitchen is wonderful and you’re in walking distance to carnival rides, stand up paddle boarding, bike rentals, coffee shops, shopping, and bodegas. It was the perfect size for the hour of us and we’re looking forward to coming back again.

Our new annual retreat

We LOVED your place! Probably the most well appointed kitchen of any vacation home we've been to! I always keep fresh flowers on my table at home so the flowers were an appreciated touch. The place was very well appointed and had an open and airy feel to it. Of course the location could not have been better. Right on the beach, the quiet bayside, and within walking distance of restaurants and coffee shops. The owner was also very responsive when we had a quick question about check-in. We have definitely found our new annual retreat!

Wonderful Mission Bay Bayside Lane Stay!

We stayed 4 nights and it was perfect. My husband and I and our two grown daughters visited San Diego for a family wedding and the rental was ideal for us. Well accommodated in the kitchen for all our needs. As well as great beds and towels. We really appreciated the fresh flowers - a very nice touch. Grant was excellent to work with and communicated timely and consistently. This is truly an excellent VRBO and we will return to stay again! Thank you!

Perfect Beach Getaway

Our family of five loved staying at this property. Kids had a blast playing on the bayside beach (right out the door) and in the waves at Mission beach (super quick walk). Excellent accommodations, clean, fresh space with a well-equipped kitchen. Grant was a kind and attentive host. Highly recommend! We’ll be back!

Bayside Beauty

All I can say is Wow!!! This Bayside rental is decorated so beautifully and has such a comfortable vibe. I absolutely love the remodeled kitchen with all the amenities to create fabulous meals during our stay. However, the best thing is waking up in the morning pulling the blinds up, opening the doors and watching the boats, paddle boarders, kayakers walkers and runners Going about their day, it’s such a wonderful view!!! There were fresh cut flowers placed in the condo upon arrival, which was such a nice touch. Overall 5 stars, I would give it more if I could…. I can not wait to plan our next visit to this bayside beauty. Thank you!

Perfect week on Mission Bay!

My family had a fabulous week right on Mission Bay. The location was great, right on the water at the Bay, a short walk to the beach and super convenient for traveling around San Diego. Also very close by was Belmont Park, restaurants, playground and Ray's Rentals where you can get anything from bikes to surf boards and soccer balls. We rented stand up paddle boards and paddled around the Bay one afternoon. Grant was very responsive to my questions and provided beach towels so we didn't have to pack them in our luggage. Great property, great host and great location! My kids have already asked if we can go back next year and I definitely would not hesitate to stay here again!

Location is everything!

We couldn't have found better accommodations, in a better spot on the beach/bay. We loved staying on the quiet bay, while having easy access to the busier beach and boardwalk, a 5 minute walk. My favorite thing was drinking my coffee on the patio then running in the morning before everyone woke up. This condo is very well stocked to prepare any meal you could imagine. I loved the fresh flowers provided by the hosts. The hosts were great to work with. Parking for one (not large) vehicle. Parking is super tricky (back-in only) into a very small spot, and at an angle. I wouldn't try parking a larger SUV. We had a minivan and we had to get out of the van before my husband parked otherwise we couldn't open the doors to get out. He mastered parking our fill size minivan in that spot but if we were driving anything larger we would have been in real trouble!! If you have more than 1 vehicle to park, have a large SUV, have small children to get in and out of the vehicle, or suck at back-in parking, you may want to consider all of your options.

About the host

Hosted by Grant McKinstry

Host profile image
My name is Grant McKinstry and I live in San Diego with my wife Karin and our 2 children.

The 'Beach House', as we like to call it, was purchased as a second home for our personal use and is only 20 minutes from our primary residence. It is our home away from home and we have furnished and appointed it as a comfortable and relaxing place to enjoy with family and friends. We outfitted the Beach House in such a way that we can jump in the car and go to without having to think about packing much besides our clothes. We try to use the Beach House ourselves as often as possible, but with the competing priorities associated with family life there are times when we cannot use it, and therefore look to share it with others.

My wife Karin and I actively manage all aspects of this property ourselves, as we quickly discovered that property management companies do not measure up to our high standards for cleanliness, personal communication and organization.

We feel very fortunate to be able to have a second home in this wonderful place that has so much to offer, in a neighborhood of people who are always friendly, welcoming, and happy. Waking up every morning with a beach on your doorstep will do that to you!

Why they chose this property

Mission Bay is a premier location in San Diego, with 19 miles of sandy beaches, 14 miles of bike paths, a network of channels, islands, coves and wildlife preserves, and a huge number of recreational activities right on your doorstep.

The panoramic views of Mission Bay are spectacular. Whether you are watching the sunrise in the morning, the sail boats that glide back and forth in front of the house throughout the day, looking out over the blissfully quiet beach and mirror-like calm waters of the bay at sunset, or watching the explosive Seaworld fireworks at night.

When we purchased this property our kids were much younger, and the close and easy proximity to the beach was a major factor. They were able to walk right out of the patio gate and onto the beach without crossing a road. When they were playing on the beach, we could actually keep an eye on them from the patio, or from inside the house. We are a family who love water sports and it is extremely convenient to be able to ‘park’ a Hobie Cat, recreational boat or kayak on the beach right in front of your home.

We were looking for a home in a quiet and safe neighborhood, and Mission Bay is one of the only beach communities in Southern California that offers this. If we want to spend time on the livelier and noisier boardwalk and Mission Beach, it is only 2 small blocks away.

Parking at any beach city in Southern California can be problematic. As a result, we wanted the ability to be able to park our car at the Beach House and not have to drive anywhere. Our location puts us within walking, biking or skateboarding distance of many restaurants, shops and recreational activities that we might need.

What makes this property unique

- The views
- The proximity to the beach
- The 'happy' and safe neighborhood
- Being in walking distance to most things that are needed
- The San Diego weather
- The many things to see and do around you
- Did I mention the views!
