Top South Mission Beach Hotel Reviews

Samesun Ocean Beach - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stsy"

View of the water, steps from the beach, bikes and other toys included.

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for the two of us. It was clean and had a full equipped kitchen. The hot tub was a welcoming option. We were able to park and walk everywhere. Shops, restaurants, Belmont Park, and Mariner’s Point for Bayfest were all within a mile. The beach was only a couple blocks away, and we had everything we needed to enjoy a day at the beach."

Mission Beach Family Haven: Ocean Views + Private Balconies + Garage

10/10 Excellent

"This place was very clean when we arrived! It was totally adequate space for our family of 6. The kitchen was well stocked. The host was easy to communicate with. We loved being just steps away from the beach!"

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay in Ocean Beach! We especially appreciated finding a pet-friendly home, as our main purpose for the trip was to take our 8-year-old Lab to the beach. Living in Las Vegas, we wanted to give her a chance to enjoy the ocean, and she had a fabulous time.The accommodations were outstanding, and the property description and photos were very accurate. We drove our Tahoe, which unfortunately did not fit in the carport, but there was plenty of street parking available.The host also informed us that the streets are swept on certain days and that vehicles need to be moved early in the morning, which was helpful information to have in advance.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and a fabulous time in Ocean Beach. We would definitely stay here again!"

Beachfront Home w/ Ocean Views • Right on Mission Beach | Belmont by AvantStay

8/10 Good

"Awesome elevated view of the beach and ocean. Living space and rooms very comfortable. Parking in carport for two vehicles.I wasn't aware that the entire unit was a second floor unit. It was difficult for her disability. I wasn't aware that there was an occupied unit below, but it didn't present an issue.There were multiple screens missing from various windows. One large sliding screen missing from living room door onto patio.The dining table was gross. There was a build-up of sticky grime along the edges that showed evidence of lack of cleaning. A number of stains were visible on the couch. The living room drapes could use a cleaning. A light blue blanket on the couch had a dirty black mark when the blanket was unfolded.The front windows facing the view of the beach and ocean were very dirty. I understand that the atmosphere at the ocean makes it difficult to maintain the clarity, but these windows hadn't been cleaned in a while. I live along the ocean.To sum up, the cleaning process of the unit needs to be addressed. As to the screens, definitely a new sliding screen in the living room."
