Great stay!

We stayed a month at this property and overall had a great experience. The location is excellent...a few steps from the beach. It is close to Belmont Park which isn't too busy in the winter, but does mean there is a little more walking and gathering traffic around. We liked the energy and the cute restaurants and coffee shops nearby. We did have a couple of issues with the property but Drift responded immediately. This property is third floor, but we viewed the steps as part of our workout each day. I highly recommend and would stay here again for sure.

Great location and fantastic views!

Loved the condo. Very nice and spacious. Enjoyed the views and sunsets were amazing from the balcony. I read the reviews ahead and made sure I got a smaller rental car. I thought I was a master at parking until the last 2 days when I had another car next to me! It is a tight fit but very nice to have a garage space. Kitchen was great and had everything I needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful View!

Our stay at this home was awesome! We did not want to leave the place. The front doors open up wide and let the cool breeze come though. The only thing that was unfortunate is that the elevator was not working, but I was able to carry our heavy bags up the stairs individually. But we were really happy with this home and location. i will definatly recomend it to friends and family.

Wonderful place and location

Location is spectacular, views are amazing… Loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to watching dolphins jumping in the water. Excellent communication from the rental agency, beautiful home with nice amenities. Kitchen fully stocked with all of the cookware you would need. Garage is a tight fit so if you bring a car, don’t bring a big one.

Wonderful property

We enjoyed everything about the stay here at this beautiful penthouse apartment. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds comfy, everything was clean, the kitchen very well stocked, the views fantastic. The only downside was the elevator, which doesn’t work, and getting heavy suitcases up three flights of stairs was a challenge for us.

Deceiving Listing

The location of the property and view of the ocean were great. However, this is unit is on the 3rd floor and in the listing there is an elevator. When signing the agreement it states they are not responsible if the elevator is not working at the time of your stay. This makes sense for annual maintenance and repairs but when we arrive we find out the elevator has been abandoned and that this listing has been told to take the elevator off their listing. I brought my 75 year old in laws with mobility issues and would have never rented this place if I knew that there was no elevator. Being deceived is what frustrates the most.

Amazing stay

The space was wonderful for our family of 5, plus our teenage nephew. Beautiful view of the ocean & Mission Beach, nicely appointed. Parking is a little tight, but this is the beach so it's expected--it's nice having a dedicated garage. Fantastic communication with the property managers. We arrived to a broken curtain rod and it was fixed within a couple of hours. They checked on us a couple of times throughout our stay and they were very nice and helpful. Definitely happy with their service!

The place was amazing! Home away from home. They had everything we needed. It's the ultimate beach location for a family to visit San Diego with direct access to the beach and lots to do. We'll be back!

Beautiful place

Beautiful place in a great location along the boardwalk in Mission Beach. Wish we could have stayed longer than a long weekend. Surprisingly quiet considering its location in on the boardwalk. The instructions given were very clear and helpful which helped us out a lot since our travel was delayed by several hours and we did not get to the place until around 1:00 a.m.

Exceeded Expectations

We booked this lovely apartment after another fell through at the last minute. I am so thankful we found it. While it definitely is expensive, the space and view made it worth it. Our two teens needed their space after being couped up in one cruise cabin! The place is large and perfect for families. We loved the a/c. 2 of our family members are always warm. While we would have loved to have lowered the a/c temp beyond 72, the multiple floor fans helped keep them cool. The view and location are great! We watched surfers and dolphins in the morning. I can imagine the sunsets are amazing from the balcony. We didn't get to see one with the "June Gloom" being a reality. The home is right next to Belmont Park, which was a huge plus for families. Easily walkable in 5 minutes. My only issue, which isn't a management issue, but more of a "know before you go" thing, is the garage. We shared the garage with 3 other SUV's. It made parking really tricky and stressful. Have someone guide you in.

PERFECT LOCATION AND OCEAN VIEW

Condo is perfect size, furnished well and clean. You can people watch and see dolphins from the balcony as well as the glassed tv room, walking distance to markets, parks, restaurants and bars. Tandem parking is a plus but our Tundra extended cab took up the extra foot we needed for the second vehicle we took so we had to park that one elsewhere. We will be back (with two CRVS) as this condo met all our needs and then some.

Family vacation

Enjoyed our stay with 1.5yr old. Great views. Property mgr is highly responsive and great. Great location. There were some ants on the floor by windows upon arrival but after calling mgmt, they came out immediately. AC unit didn’t get super cool, which was sort of annoying given the price. Listing mentioned it had high chair but it did not have that. Interior of rental is nice. Expensive but overall a good trip. Very walkable location. No beach toys or chairs etc but to be fair we’re not advertised.

Loved our family vacation!

We absolutely loved our VRBO! The location was ideal as the beach was right in front of us and the lifeguards are set up just a half a block away. There are plenty of restaurants (and a Starbucks!) nearby. Mission Beach was central to places we visited such as the Zoo, low tide pools, and USS Midway. The only thing that was mildly worrisome was the deck was held up by support frames on one side and was noticeably tilted. It did look like it was under construction so we still used the deck all the time!

Festive Family Fun

We stayed from December 26th to December 31st. The view of the ocean from the living room and balcony was AMAZING, and being from the Midwest, we were all mesmerized watching the waves. This VRBO was spacious, and our party of 6 adults were able to hang out together in the living room/kitchen, or have some introvert time in the bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable, and all six of us (18 years old to 83 years old) commented on how well we slept. In addition to enjoying walks along the beach, we were also about 20 minutes away from the zoo, the Midway Museum, etc. We rented a car-a Chrysler Pacifica which was difficult for me to park in the garage, but my brother handled that duty just fine! I highly recommend this property, and we would love to stay there again some time in the future!

Great location, comfortable property

We had a lovely vacation and enjoyed staying here. Tandem parking is a little tight especially if neighbors have large trucks, but that’s just life in SoCal I believe. It’s walking distance to many things including the indoor pool and a lovely park, not to mention right on the strand. Property management is very responsive and thoughtful. Would definitely stay again!

Nicely appointed, well stocked kitchen, great back deck for bbqing, beds comfortable, great sunsets! Watched right from the front deck. The elevator worked off and on, management responded quickly to repair requests. Weekdays, the beach was fairly quiet. Had a company come out and set us up beach chairs and a canopy, this rocked. Close to restaurants. Loved it!
