Great house in a great neighborhood

Incredible rental! I stayed here with 9 others and the house was perfect. The layout is great for socializing with plenty of outdoor space. It was very clean upon arrival and the hosts are very responsive. The location has very easy beach access, and the rental including beach chairs and other beach supplies was a very nice touch.

Great Location and Close to Fun Activities!

What a great way to spend our intimate gathering to celebrate my best friend's bachelorette party by the beach. It was just steps away to the beach and so many nearby cute bars/restaurants to check out. The host was incredible with setting up a nice snack basket with great coupons to local coffee shops and even cute mini facial packets for us. A great stay. Highly recommend!

Great house

Everything you need is in this house from sun screen to snacks. Owners were more than accomadating with our travel plans. Great location about a minute walk to the sand. House was really nice and up to date, would book again next time we are in san Diego.

Modern Sandcastle, WOW!

"Modern Sandcastle" had everything we needed. It truly is steps from the beach. There is plenty of space and sleeping quarters. We enjoyed relaxing on the upstairs patio when we weren't at the beach. The kitchen is perfectly equipped. The walk-way street kept the front patio peaceful for BBQing. The double garage was perfect for our Nissan Van. There were plenty of beach chairs, toys, and boogie boards! The property owners were responsive and accommodating.

Wonderful house; close proximity to beach and restaurants

The house was in excellent shape and the hosts included so many personal touches, including snacks, toiletries, and baby items. We loved taking walks along the boardwalk (steps from the front of the house), many of which involved observing dolphins and surfers. Wonderful breakfast and coffee spots are walkable. We also spent a lot of time enjoying the rooftop. Overall, our group had an amazing time. I will note for future guests to pay attention that check-in is not until 5:00 pm and checkout is at 10 am. Karen and Khin will accommodate adjustments when they can but just take note in case you have timing constraints. Thanks for a great stay!!

Quiet place near the beach

We stayed here with adults & kids 1, 4, 10, 13 years olds. The garage was stocked with beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to prep meals, plus the hosts supplied a bunch of snacks. There were books, board games, WiFi & cable, a rooftop deck - everything we needed to keep everyone busy. Nearby restaurants & minimart. Very clean. Awesome place!

Exploring Mission Beach

Room for everyone. The owners were easy to work with and a great resource for restaurants in the San Diego area. We loved the location and ran along the beach everyday during our stay. Enjoyed the coffee shop (Better Buzz) which was right across the street. (They have a great avocado toast) Perfect getaway for our family.

Nice place

Great, clean, newer place. Bedrooms were nice, living space was pretty small. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and we couldn't all be in the living room together, but then again, we didn't spend much time in the house. The owners were super nice and quick to respond. No ocean view from roof deck really, but it was a nice place to relax. Thanks again!!

Immaculate modern house right by the boardwalk and food

What a wonderful place to stay with my family and close friends over the weekend. The house is very modern and tidy. So clean. Every bathroom had toiletries included. The kitchen is also adequately stocked with utensils, pans, cups, plates, bowls, and even some snacks. The roof top is pretty neat. The hosts were very quick to respond and checked in on us via messaging. We were allowed to check out a bit later (by noon) because it was not peak season and no one was booked for the night we checked out. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much for hosting us, we have made some pretty special memories together!

Wonderful family vacation

We had a wonderful experience staying at this family friendly home. Our top highlights include: (1) great communication from the very welcoming owner who had kindly provided kid-friendly games, organic snacks, playpens and all beach necessities for adults and kids; (2) safe area/ secure home locks; and (3) walking distance to the beach and major kid-friendly (and adults) fun areas. On a side note, the owner provided cool products for daily use, including shiseido shampoos, neutrogena make-up remover pads and many more, but perhaps my new favorite is ogx argan oil of morocco lotion (smells so good!). Will be happy to come back again!

Perfect location!

It is our second time staying in this lovely home. It is located perfectly about 200 Steps From The Boardwalk. We really enjoyed spending time on the boardwalk, relaxing on the beach using the bird scootets, beach cruisers to go up and down the boardwalk and Belmont Park. The house was very well stocked with everything that we needed from pots and pans to linen and also beach chairs, umbrellas and stuff to build sand castles and frisbees. Anything that you can think of! In light of my husbands birthday, they left a lovely birthday card as a greeting long with a bottle of Patron as a gift. We double and triple checked that we packed all of our things and later found that I left my perfume behind. They were very kind and mailed it to us. We were met with great hospitality and we will most definitely visit again!

Great place to stay close to the ocean

We had a wonderful time with our family of 11. The accommodations were new, clean and kept up. The home is so close to the beach and board walk, restaurants and entertainment. Every morning we walked to the coffee shop (two within a couple blocks). We walked to Mission Beach Bay and rented a sail boat. Our favorite was renting the ubiquitous Bird scooters and exploring. The owners supplied beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler and beach toys for the kids. The owners went extra lengths to make are stay enjoyable.
