About this property

Steps to the Sand-Upscale Beach Cottage

Mission Beach is San Diego’s lively take on the classic boardwalk beach town with nearly two miles of oceanfront boardwalk, numerous rental shops and Belmont Park, a boardwalk amusement park, featuring the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster, originally built in 1925 but since restored, the Beach House Grill, miniature golf, bumper cars, rock climbing and an arcade.

There are plenty of bars in Mission Beach and adjacent Pacific Beach, and a hot nightlife scene for the young at heart.

There are also a host of activities for the whole family to enjoy including biking, beach volleyball, boogie boarding, surfing, whale watching, sport fishing and scuba diving.

A short walk across Mission Beach’s main thoroughfare leads you to the calm waters of Mission Bay, home to SeaWorld San Diego and the largest aquatic park of its kind, surrounded by grassy parks, playgrounds, picnic tables and miles of paved sidewalks. Rent a sailboat, take a leisurely bayside bike ride, or watch the kids play in this one-of-a-kind oasis.

POPULAR ACTIVITIES
Visiting Belmont Park - roller coaster, bumper cars, arcade
Surfing, boogie boarding, kite boarding
Swimming, but in designated areas in the summer. Watch for signs.
Fishing off of the Mission Bay jetty

There are plenty of dining options along the boardwalk and within walking distance of the beach community.

Beach

Perfect place for a couple!! The beach is steps away and within walking distance to coffee and food. We especially enjoyed Molly’s and The Olive Oven!!We rented a car and found downtown areas easy to navigate. Lots of pretty drives to different beaches and the coast line!

Quick stay but wish we could have stayed longer!

My wife traveled with me on a business trip, and we had a blast! The home is small but located in a great spot. Everything was updated, clean, and as advertised. Shannon was great to work with and communicated everything we needed to know. We would definitely stay in this unit again next time we are in San Diego!

Great location to ocean and bay

Great location not only to both beach and bay but right in the middle to boardwalk and Pacific Beach area. Super cute and very clean. Responsive and quick communication to host. Only negative would be the bed but overall, enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful experience

I absolutely loved staying in this charming home by the water. When I first arrived, I noticed how clean and spotless the entire home was. Which I’m a big fan of especially when you’re that close to the water. The accommodations were amazing & very simplistic living. But everything that you needed was there. My only suggestion would be maybe an extra blanket for the couch area because it does get chilly at night..Other than that, I will be staying there again! I had such a wonderful and relaxing time and the owners and property managers were so attentive.

Great time in San Diego

Overall the property was great, clean and in a good location. It was slightly smaller than I expected and didn’t have the luxury feel that I was after. The kitchen and bathroom were very small, but definitely were well done. The rest of the house was really basic…Overall a win though.

Short walk to beach

LOVE this updated charmer. A 2 minute walk to the beach - just one block! Plus so close to everything- little Italy, san Diego zoo. The place was spotless and so clean. The only thing to add is a cookie sheet and maybe aluminum foil, but the kitchen was stocked with keurig cups and toilet paper and paper towels, solo cups beach chairs and towels etc. Shannon was so great responding to any questions.
