Luxury Style Home

If you book this home you will not be disappointed. My biggest decision was to walk out my front door and decide, "Do I walk just steps away to the bay or the ocean?" The location is superb. My family and I enjoyed the balcony , front sitting area and comfortable living space. It is clearly a wonderful house with a well appointed kitchen, comfortable upstair beds, and beautiful decorations . The house was also very quiet which made for restful evenings. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to rebook.

Great Place for a Ladies Getaway!

As first time San Diego Explorers, we couldn't have picked a cleaner, well managed, centrally located venue for our Ladies-Family getaway weekend. We had four adult women (Grandmother, sisters and a cousin), and were excited to see that there was also a blow-up queen size bed so we could all have our own place to sleep (two bedrooms, pull out couch, and blow-up bed). This was great in the times of covid and keeping everyone safe that came from different parts of the US. The place is so nice, the street is so quaint, and the walking distance to so many great places was awesome. Having a garage for the rental car was wonderful too--just another layer of worry for out-of-towners that we didn't have to worry about. Great job to those who decorated, furnished, and managed this property--you are doing a great job!

FANTASTIC PLACE BUT NOT SO MUCH WITH MANAGEMENT/RESPONSE

We loved the townhome, perfect location, plenty of room, comfortable and clean. If not for one issue I would have given 5 stars. Getting management/maintenance to respond. I called on the first day we arrived because there was a problem with the air conditioning, wifi, and the rat droppings on the balcony. No one ever responded. I finally called on the 3rd day and got someone. They sent someone out, but they could not fix the air conditioning and left a note. As far as the wifi, please tell your guests the router is behind an electrical panel which has to be unscrewed from the wall. There is a note on the panel advising not to open due to electrical wires. You have to if you need to reboot the router. Also housekeeping needs to clean the balcony because there were piles of rat droppings all over. Other than that we had a great time. Thanks

Great neighborhood walk to everything

Stayed 5 weeks and had an awesome time! Everything just as advertised beautiful place. Best street on Mission beach! Ninety degree turn into a narrow garage was challenging with my suv. Thankfully I had electronic folding mirrors. The garage is 2 car tandem depth so length not a problem. Once you’re through the garage door opening there is no problem. Home is spectacular with great patio and fire table.

Great location and super clean rental.Would agree with other reviews the 3rd “bedroom” is more of an entry area and pull out couch rather than a bedroom. And you do hear occupants above moving around.Neither of these impacted our stay.

We stayed a month, everything you need to know

Overall impression: Perfect location, great house but has some negatives (below). Would still recommend this house, it was a very enjoyable trip. Walkable to the beach and tons of restaurants. Important notes: This is not a 3-bedroom house, this is a 2-bedroom with a pull out couch in a common area. The couch is located in the room where the front and garage door enter. There is no privacy/bedroom door, no shower on that floor, and anyone sleeping there will have the rest of the guests walking through their space regularly. May work for children, I would not want to sleep in that space as an adult. The building is a 3-story building and this rental is only the first 2 floors. So that means there is someone living above you and you will hear footsteps through the ceiling. The water heater is disappointing. You have 10 minutes max of hot water in the shower. If you expect to have a bunch of people showering regularly in the house, you will not have hot water for all. The water heater also regularly shuts off (sometimes mid-shower) and you have to go into the garage to turn it back on. There are a/c units throughout the house that work. Mildew is a big problem with these types of units (according to the a/c guy) and we had to clean a couple ourselves. The garage entrance is in the back of the house and across the alley is another rental, sometimes they would park poorly (or double park) and getting into the garage was tough. If you are a poor driver, beware of this.

Great property and location, very poor communication

We absolutely loved the location and property. We went there with our family and it was conveniently located to the beach and plenty of other things. Very poor communication from the property manager. We asked for an early check in and crickets. We then asked for a late check out and you guessed it, crickets. We made the most of it as the cleaners were there the minute check out was supposed to be.

Beautiful property & great location!

I couldn't have been happier with my choice for a vacation rental! Location sits perfectly between the Bay and Ocean. Walking distance to both north and south sides of Mission Beach for shops and restaurants. Home is newer, spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated. Contact with rental company was easy and helpful. Just FYI that parking in the 2 car tandem garage is a little tight so a large SUV wont fit, but I was able to get my Kia Sportage to fit. Highly recommend this property!

The PERFECT location.

Easy walk to beach, bay, shops, restaurants, Belmont. Our spot was just perfect for myself and grandkids.. ages 21, 18, 15 and 9. Immaculately clean. Having a garage is a great perk. Just don’t rent a large car. We had a VW Tiguan and that was a great fit. Highly recommend. Thank you for attention to detail. Much appreciated.

Mission Beach Vacation

This is a beautiful property and neighborhood. I wanted a quiet space and this was it. Very quick walk to both the beach and bay. Luigi's down the street was great for dinner. Lots of eateries and bars a little north in pacific beach. We enjoyed renting bikes and riding along the beach and bay. Beds are on the very firm side. Overall, i highly recommend staying here and the property management is very responsive.
