Gail's Mission Beach Getaway: 200 Steps to the Sand with bikes and parking!

Below you will find details about our 2 bed/ 2 bath home, Gail's Mission Beach Getaway, located in Mission Beach.

Yes, you can have it all! Enter Gail's and be transported to your San Diego beach getaway. Wake up to the smells from the bakery below, Olive Bakery and the sounds of the sea. Conveniently located right between the Pacific Ocean and beautiful Sail Bay, just a block to either one and about a half mile North of historic Belmont Park with amusement and entertainment!

The light and airy living room has high ceilings and skylight, tastefully and comfortably furnished with new Pergo-style wood floors.The California-style kitchen is open to the living room and has tile countertops and natural wood cabinets. The first bedroom has a top of the line queen bed and flat screen TV. Upstairs is a large, semi-enclosed loft area with a queen bed, sitting space, and a door to a small balcony. Upstairs you will also find a cozy nook with a trundle bed (two singles). Ceiling height in the trundle bed area is about 5 feet so it's best for kids. There are two bathrooms in the home, a full bath/shower downstairs and a walk-in shower upstairs.

We can provide an air conditioning unit for an additional fee. Please contact us to reserve the inventory.

No need to search for parking by the beach as this unit comes with it's own garage! Please see parking restrictions below. Extra large vehicles won't fit but there is free overnight parking a few blocks away. There is also a coin operated laundry room near the garage for your convenience. Everything you need is here to enjoy your vacation!

This location is hard to beat! It's close to all the main attractions: SeaWorld, the world famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Old Town with it's excellent restaurants, Belmont Park and it's authentic 1920's wooden roller-coaster, Seaport Village, downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, the Convention Center and Petco Park. Come and enjoy all that San Diego has to offer including our unbeatable weather!

Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as, payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.

This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.

The place needs a bit of modernization like USB electrical outlets, but otherwise it's a wonderful place to stay. It has lightning fast internet and comfortable beds and all the kitchen implements you could possibly need.

Thai was perfect for my family. Location was perfect to the beach and all restaurants. Love this location of Mission beach. Will be back.

The condo was feet from the beach with a direct view from the balcony of ocean. We enjoyed the bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas left for our use. My only complaint would be that there is no air conditioning and leaving all the windows open overnight worked but all the noise of the trash trucks, delivery trucks, and the bakery moving their outdoor seating early in the morning made it diffucult to sleep in 😎

If you want a chill place to relax perhaps with a friend or two, this rental is great. Location is awesome right near the beach, cafe in the morning downstairs, great bar across the street for the evening, and right in the middle of the boardwalk connecting MB and PB.

My family was in town for a week. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more! The house was perfect for us. The proximity to the beach and access to beach toys made our stay so simple. The added bonus of Olives Bakery and their amazing cinnamon rolls and coffee being just below also didn’t hurt❤️ The weekend did get a bit loud in the neighborhood and adjacent establishments, but that was expected. We are already talking about our next vacation. We will definitely book this place again in the future.

Good location in laid back Mission Beach! Everything we needed in walking distance. Being native to AZ we are critical of California politics, except for San Diego/Mission Beach area! We visit here a couple times a year, love it!

It was a very nice and convenient location. It would have been nice to have AC. But it worked out ok, since there were lots of fans and fortunately the weather was cool.

Overall, we had a great stay. The condo is steps from the beach and centrally located near bars/restaurants. Short drive to anything else we wanted to do. Overall the condo was pretty clean, although we only received two towels for the entire stay. We had a small group and not enough amenities for that length of stay.

The property was prefect, it had everything we needed. I made fun of all the codes but at the end I loved them, I feel secured with them.

This unit has great beach access and was comfortable for four adults and 2 children. Upstairs bed is too firm, but the room was perfect for family of four. We had to purchase paper plates so we would have enough dishes for meals in each day. Flatwear was in short supply as well

Parking is a big issue, but it seems that way all over Mission Beach. Multiple trash cans in the way which had to be moved before eeeking out of the space. Lots of flies at the entrance gate. The downstairs plumbig was ok but needed a good bleaching. Everything is old but it worked and was clean.we rented an ac unit for close to 200.00 It did not cool as well as I wanted it to The downstairs bedroom was hot. 75 degrees that day and still hot.The lighting good be brightened up a bit. Dirty fans but came in useful. Comfortable beds was a plus. Need more ice trays day.Grealocation.had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and barey mad

A little effort from owner could take this property from good to great: a thorough deep cleaning; fix the balcony door, screen door, & blinds; wash the windows; replace broken & rickety balcony table & stools. Manager did her very best!

Great location for Mission Beach! This unit is located directly above a bakery with a balcony where you can sit and people watch; you can see the beach/ocean as well. Walk west about 100 steps and your at the beach. Walk east about 50 steps and you're on Mission Blvd. continue east another couple blocks and you're at the Bay. Walk 15 mins north or south and you're at Pacific Beach or Belmont. This unit has everything you need from boogie boards to towels to beach chairs. Management was on top of everything and had it dialed in perfectly! This unit is a bit outdated, but clean. Definitely will stay here again!

Stayed here with a longtime college friend for a girls week getaway. Absolutely loved the proximity to the beach!!! All locks are number coded: garage, gate, and front door. Garage space, as specified, is EXTREMELY small; had more difficulty parking when other vehicle was full-sized SUV/crossover. Entering/exiting garage a challenge bc of refuse bins in alley. Condo space was plenty for two adults. Nice kitchen area. Kept windows open daily for breeze. Condo is above Olive Baking Company. The aroma of cinnamon rolls and other treats wafts into the condo :) Fare is wonderful and people are sweet. Miss B's Coconut Club is right across the street. Good food there as well.
Stayed 6 nights in May 2023

6/10

The location is great but the property is fairly run down. Broken silverware draw, really dirty windows plus the refrigerator quit working. The garage door was not accessible for hours without many parking options. This was no electricity to the unit as maybe a bill was not paid. Then what kitchen doesn’t have a spatula. Ceiling fan in the downstairs bathroom sounds like a small screaming aircraft trying to takeoff. So for over 300/night I would only recommend this to college guys. One more thing is it’s above a bakery and the whole floor shakes due to commercial fans and equipment
Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024

8/10

Condo is in a good location, above a bakery so convenient for coffee and pastries. The beach is a block away which is awesome. If you aren’t an expert in backing into tight parking spaces this garage will be a challenge. Getting as close to the wall as possible I still struggled to get out of my vehicle. Two large SUVs would not fit. Luckily I don’t drive a large SUV. The beds were comfortable, but the carpet and bathrooms have seen better days and the furniture is very dated. The patio table and chairs should be replaced, or refinished and the windows could use a good cleaning. Overall, it met our needs and is priced well for being so close to the ocean and bay.
