PLEASE NOTE: During the months of January - February of 2024 there is potential for noise due to the condo above undergoing renovations. The construction will take place during working hours only so it is ideal for guests who be out and about during the daytime. Keep in mind that the rates have already been highly discounted and no further refunds or discounts will be issued to compensate for the potential for noise. If you choose to book during this period please acknowledge that you are aware of the potential for noise.

Please note that we have occupancy based pricing in our settings. Please select the correct number of people in your group at the time of booking to get the correct pricing for your stay. Keep in mind, if you add more people to your group after booking the rate may adjust slightly. There is an additional charge of $50 per night for each additional person after the initial 6 people. This keeps our rates low and affordable for our average group size for this listing and helps us charge an appropriate fee for the additional linens and utilities used by a larger group size. Thank you for understanding.

We love children and want you to know that they are more than welcome as our guests. This means that children of any age, even infants, are counted as guests in your guest count. Please let us know in advance the ages of all children and whether you require a pack and play or anything else. (Additionally, we are happy to supply a high chair or basic umbrella stroller with advanced notice.)

Want family pictures on the beach? What better backdrop for a group shot than the stunning backdrop of the ocean or bay at sunset! We can arrange for a very affordable local portrait photographer to do a photo session of your family on the beach. Let us know in advanced if you're interested and we can connect you with the photographer.

The beach condo is thoroughly cleaned between each stay. However if you wish for a cleaning and change of linens during your stay we can arrange for the housekeeper to come for an additional charge of the standard cleaning fee. Please give us one day's notice so we can get this scheduled.
Janet & Scott are your hosts. We are a husband and wife team and we live nearby. We own and operate Mission Beach Villas, a highly rated vacation rental management business in San Diego.

We are available 7 am to 10 pm to answer questions during your stay.

Our storefront rental office, Mission Beach Villas, is a couple of blocks away, so if you need anything feel free to stop by! If you have an early flight, you may stow your luggage at our office so you can go to lunch or hang out on the beach until check-in time. And if you have an afternoon flight on checkout day you may also stow luggage. Just coordinate these details with us and we are happy to accommodate.

Before your stay, we are happy to suggest our favorite restaurants, and tourist attractions and will help you get acquainted with the area.
The best thing about the neighborhood is that there is so much within walking distance that you may not need a car. You could just take a taxi from the airport (6 miles away), get dropped off here and you're at the beach! We have local restaurants, trendy beach bars, excellent coffee spots, and breakfasts cafes all within a few short blocks. Sea World is just 3 miles away.

The location is one of the best spots of all of Mission Beach. It is one block south of Santa Clara Place (the only traffic light in North Mission Beach). It is equally between the roller coaster area (Belmont Park) to the south and the pier in Pacific Beach to the north, both about a mile away. Getting to either is an easy walk or bike ride down the boardwalk.

The home is off of the main boulevard on one of the tiny inner walking courts with a lively beach atmosphere.

Recreational opportunities abound. It is within walking distance to Santa Clara point where there are numerous recreation activities and rentals available including: stand up paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis, windsurfing, catamarans, sail boats, water ski boats, and even jet packs. There are group classes and private lessons available in all of these activities. What's more there are free yoga classes on the beach each day.

There is a fantastic surf spot at the beach for beginner to advanced surfers and great for spectators as well. There are affordable surf lessons offered daily in the beach by our friends at Surfari Surf School. What's more, we can point you to all the best surf spots in San Diego County. And we have two world class board shapers who are neighbors in case you want to get a new surf board while you are here.
We offer self check-in with keyless entry to make your arrival as easy as possible. There are no keys to lose at the beach, just a simple 4 digit code to remember.

The rental comes with a garage for parking that will fit one vehicle. Most mini vans and SUV's will fit as long as they are not raised above standard height. Additional parking is available on the street or in the public parking lot at the end of Santa Clara Place. (Approximately 1 block away.)

You will have full access to this home except for a couple of locked closets.
If you're looking for a family friendly beach vacation look no further!

This beach condo is fully loaded with beach gear and is located just a few houses from the sand. The upstairs balcony has a view of the ocean! Included with the rental is the use of, beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas. For families we even furnish you with a pack and play for the little ones.

This beach condo has 4 updated bathrooms. Three of the bathrooms feature giant walk-in showers. The fourth bathroom has a bathtub with removable hand-held shower nozzle, great for bathing the little ones. The home is decorated with a local beach theme.

The condo features 3 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen with dishwasher, and a patio for outdoor dining with a barbecue. The home is very comfortable for a group with two families. There are 2 master suites, one with a King size bed and the other with a Queen. The third bedroom has two sets of twin bunk beds plus a twin trundle bed that rolls out from underneath one of the bunk beds.

The kitchen includes a stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, blender, and a Keurig coffee maker. We supply you with all the cooking pans, dishes, and utensils you might need. There are the usual kitchen gadgets such as bottle openers and cork screws plus we start you out stocked with a starter supply of K-cups for your morning coffee.

Washer/dryer is included in the garage.
Getting around is simple. Mission Beach is a thin Peninsula strip of beach with only one street through the middle (Mission Boulevard) and a boardwalk on both the ocean side & bay side. You are located directly in the middle of the peninsula which keeps the beach out front less crowded as public parking in the area is scarce. The beach faces directly west and all the courts are parallel with each other in alphabetic order.

To orient you here are some distances from the home:
2 miles to Sea World
5 miles to Historic Old Town
6 miles to La Jolla Cove
6 miles to San Diego Airport
9.5 miles to San Diego Zoo/Balboa Park
10 miles to Gaslamp Quarter

If you don't bring a car you will be fine. Many guests come without one and get around quite easily. Restaurants, shops and convenience stores are within walking distance. It is less than a 10-15 minute walk to Belmont Park where there is a giant roller coaster, rides, restaurants, bars, and shops.

There is a bus stop a few yards away that travels down Mission Blvd and will take you to Old Town in minutes. At Old Town there is a major transportation hub where you can transfer to any other bus line or transfer to the Trolley (San Diego's metro line) which will take you downtown.

Uber/Lyft options are readily available for local transport at an affordable rate. If you've never used this service before download the phone app and you may find a discount code for first-time riders online.

Steps to the beach in a great location
We had a great stay. It was stocked with everything we needed, just steps to the beach and restaurants. Easy check in and check out. The only issues with the unit are no airconditioning and very small parking space. The bedrooms are upstairs and all have fans. The ceiling fans make noise, so if you need it quiet to sleep bring earplugs. The bunk bed room doesn’t have a ceiling fan and the other fans didn’t work well enough to cool it. It was extremely warm. Luckily our kids were worn out and slept anyway. Stronger fans would help. The garage is tiny as to be expected. We just fit the minivan into it and had to squeeze out of one side. The bonus was guaranteed parking. I believe it’s the owners I communicated with. They were quick to reply. Great hosts! Overall it was a great place and would stay again.

Has potential but not quite what we expected.
I have never left a less then stellar review before on a rental. But I would be doing other VRBO’rs a disservice if I didn’t mention a few things that can ruin a vacation. There is NO air conditioning. Which isn’t abnormal in SD. But all the bedrooms are upstairs and have old, matted down carpet so the heat is stagnant in those rooms. You can open the windows for airflow but you’re one house away from Mission Blvd so take earplugs. Downstairs does stay a little cooler, our son left the upstairs bedroom and slept down on the couch. Parking is rough but that’s all of SD beach areas, if you have a loaded suv be sure to back it in or you won’t be able to get your stuff through the garage. You can open windows downstairs for air flow but a lot of them are accessible at night so you can only do it when you’re there. There is a big double door to the patio area but the screen on that was broken. And leaving doors open isn’t an option, there are flies everywhere all! the! time! 6:00 am coffee on the patio = fighting off flies. 6:00 pm dinner on the patio = fighting off flies. The hostess is wonderful and offered several times to “help” any way she could but I didn’t know how she was going to help the issues that bothered us, they’re part of the property.

Best Mission Beach Location
This was the best place for families with teenagers! Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone! Accommodations were great and parking was a huge plus although backing into the garage was a bit of a challenge, however we didn’t have to drive much since everything was walking distance. The hosts were so helpful setting up the reservations and with advise about local restaurants and activities, and services. We absolutely loved the proximity to the beach and really enjoyed the daily yoga!
