Ben's Beach Bungalow 1, 150 Steps to Sand

Summary:
Just steps to the sand, this property has recently been completely updated to provide you with the feel of luxury. Take our boogie boards and beach equipment out for the day and come home to grill on your private front porch or walk to the restaurants in Pacific Beach. This unit is laid out to comfortably sleep 4 in two beds. It has a separate dining area and a full kitchen, so you always have the option of dining in or experiencing the vast array of PB restaurants and bars.

The Space:
This recently renovated 1BR is typical Mission Beach. Efficient use of space maximizes the sense of space. A queen in the bedroom and full pull out in the living room provide the sleeping arrangements. You have a fully stocked kitchen with all you could need to prep (pots, pans, utensils, blender, toaster, microwave, oven, stove and service for up to 6 guests).

Guest Access:
The whole unit is yours. This unit is part of a small and quiet 6-plex with 3 long term and 3 vacation rentals. The patio in the picture is not shared; it is solely for your use.

The Neighborhood:
Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around "courts" with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to "live at the beach".

Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away).

Getting Around:
We provide a single covered parking space. It is accessed off the alley and as such can be a tight fit (as with about 90% of the parking spaces at the beach). We recommend a small to midsized car to make it easier to park. We also recommend backing into the spot as that makes it easier to get in and pull out.

Looking for a unique way to get around Mission/ Pacific Beach during your stay? We've partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!

Other Things to Note:
This is "typical" beach parking so we do not recommend large cars. The spots will not accommodate anything more than a mid-size car or SUV.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

We only offer the air conditioning between May and September

Interaction with Guests:
We are a self-service destination (check-in details will be sent 3 days prior to arrival). However, we are also a full-service, professional management company (that has been a Superhost/Preferred Partner for over 4 years running) and we are just a phone call/text/email away and have agents that are almost never more than 10 minutes away should a need arise.

We had such a lovely stay! The house was super clean, and Aaron, our host, was always there if we needed anything. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking to be close to the beach and enjoy long, refreshing walks along the shore. Plus, the location is really convenient—perfect for grabbing groceries and there are plenty of cute coffee shops nearby!Cheers!!

The beach was great and so close, you could hear the ocean at night. Definitely rent a compact car to fit in the garage because having a designated parking spot was great. The bed was very comfortable.

It was clean and cozy. Extremely close to the beach, which was a huge plus. The only downside was the narrowness of the parking space. We did our best with it. I’d recommend this property to others.

Terrific property. Wish it was more clear that air conditioning was only via a portable unit in the bedroom. That being said, the place stayed mostly cool without it and cooling the bedroom was perfect! Highly recommend! Will be back!

Wanted a mini vacation close to the beach. Ben’s Beach Bungalow fit the bill. The short walk to the beach allowed us to enjoy the water and sunsets. Available chairs and toys were great for us and our granddaughter. A minor negative was that we couldn’t watch TV because it seemed like the neighbor’s remote may have been controlling our monitor. TV would turn on and off randomly, and the channel would change. We had to use our laptop instead.
