This is a condo and there is another unit above this one.

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-n-play or anything else.

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 mile away as well, 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 (8 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 and on one of the 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, sailboats, water ski boats, and even jet packs. There are group classes and private lessons available for 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 out front for beginners to the advanced surfer, and is great for the spectator as well. There are affordable surf lessons offered daily at the beach right out in front by our friends at Surfari Surf School. And, we can point you to all the best surf spots in San Diego County. We also have two world class board shapers who are neighbors in case you want to get a new surfboard 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.)

On the first floor you have full access to the home except for a few locked closets. On the second floor your access is limited to the 2 primary bedrooms and accompanying en suite bathrooms.

If you are two couples taking a beach vacation together, we have the perfect place for you!

This beach home is fully loaded with beach gear and is located just a few houses from the sand. The patio and upstairs balcony have 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-n-play for the little ones.

This beach home has all new remodeled bathrooms and is furnished with all new furniture. All three bathrooms feature giant walk-in showers. The home is decorated with a local beach theme.

This listing features 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms with walk-in showers, a living room, a kitchen with dishwasher, and a large patio for outdoor dining with a barbecue. The home is very comfortable for 2 couples. There are 2 primary bedrooms, both with king size 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 K-cups for your morning coffee.

Washer/dryer is included and garage parking is included.

There is an outdoor shower on the side of the house for rinsing off the sand when coming from the beach.

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 alphabetical order.

This unit includes onsite parking for one car in the garage and will usually accommodate most full size SUV's as long as they are not raised above standard height.

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
8 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 too. More than half of our guests have come without a car and all have gotten 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.

We include up to four bikes for your use with this rental. The bikes are one-speed beach cruisers and might be a bit rusty from being kept outside but you'll look like a real local riding them! Riding bikes along the boardwalk is usually the most scenic way to get around and take in the atmosphere. There are bike paths on the boardwalk on both the ocean side and bay side of Mission Beach.

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.

Plus, taxis and Uber cars are readily available in this area so you should be quite comfortable without a car. If you've never used Uber before download the phone app and use this code to get your first ride free (up to $15): janetb397.
