The beach is right across the street from this awesome "Shag" inspired mid-century styled vacation apartment. Super comfy queen bed plus living room with sofa bed. Ideal space for 2-3 people. Includes 1-car garage that will fit a mid size vehicle, although you'll not need your car during your stay because the beach is 100 feet away, plus so many great restaurants within walking distance. Just 3 miles from Sea World & 7 miles from the airport! Beach chairs, beach towels, and boogie boards are provided.

This ground floor apartment is 540 square feet. There is a queen bed in the bedroom and a small full futon in the living room. We recommend this property for 3 adults or a couple and two small children. (Four adults will be cramped.)

It is nestled in the center of a 6 unit apartment building and is located right on the main boulevard that runs through Mission Beach. Although there is some traffic noise it quickly becomes white noise. (If you're a light sleeper this may not be the right fit.)

A portable A/C unit is supplied in the bedroom during the hot months (late Jun to early Sep). With the two ceiling fans running, the A/C should help cool the whole apartment. The A/C makes for great "white noise" to drown out any passing noise.

We supply two beach cruiser bikes, beach towels, bodyboards, beach chairs, and beach umbrella. For anything else you need for the beach, there is a rental shop just a 3 minute walk away that rents surfboards, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, etc. They have very affordable rates, plus tell them "Mission Beach Villas" sent you and the rental shop will give you an additional 15% off!

We can hook you up with a private bonfire on the beach. Includes setup and takedown, portable steel fire drum, roasting sticks, hot dogs, and s'mores. A perfect activity while waiting for the nightly summer Sea World fireworks over the bay. Inquire for details.

Are you into yoga? There is free beach yoga daily, just a 5 minute walk from the property. No yoga mats are required. Just bring beach towels and water and you are all set. (It's donation based so maybe bring some cash for the instructor. )

Outside your back door are coin operated laundry machines that are shared with the other units.

The vacation rental 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 with the housekeeper.

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 an Uber 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 the best spot in all of Mission Beach. It is on the south side of Santa Clara Place (where the traffic light is), which means a non commercial area. It is far enough (1 mile) north of the roller coaster area so it's very removed from the tourist noise. It's located in a small apartment complex mixed with other vacation rentals and a few friendly locals.

Recreational opportunities abound. This beach rental is a few minutes 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 in all of these activities. What's more, there are free yoga classes each day on the beach, two courts north.

It is equally centered between Belmont Park (the roller coaster area) and Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, which are both 1 mile away, making this location removed from the tourist noise but yet accessible to the action if that's what you want.

There is a fantastic surf spot at the beach for beginners to advanced surfers, and great for spectators as well. There are affordable surf lessons offered daily in 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 via keyless digital entry. You will have private access to the unit so you may come and go as you please. There are no keys to lose, just a simple 4-digit passcode to remember.

If you bring a car we will provide you with a single car garage that will fit a mid size SUV.

If you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway look no further!

It is positioned in the ♡ of Mission Beach, a gorgeous beach community on a super narrow strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and Mission Bay. Walk in either direction (west or east) and you'll encounter pristine white beaches. Both sides have wide boardwalks for bicycle riding or walking. On the bay side you'll enjoy a relaxing sail bay with a calm atmosphere, while on the ocean side you'll enjoy ocean waves for surfing and a lively beach scene. Either way, you'll call it paradise. We simply call it home!

This cozy little beach vacation rental is a ground floor apartment right on the main Blvd. You have your own separate entry, front and back.

The vacation rental features one bedroom, one bathroom, cozy living room, and a fully supplied kitchen. There is a queen size bed in the bedroom and a full size futon in the living room.

The kitchen includes a stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, 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.

The living room comes complete with a flat screen television. It is equipped with Internet TV with Roku, which includes live local TV and Netflix. Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and many other channels are available with your own login credentials. What's more, there is free WIFI and plenty of outlets to keep you plugged in.

The vacation rental comes supplied with all the basics you'd expect at any hotel like a hair dryer and iron. Plus you have a kitchen and living room to enjoy. We think of everything you might need and even stock you with beach towels so you don't need to pack those in your suitcase. Why stay at a hotel when you can stay in the comfort of your own home in a friendly neighborhood? Vacation like a local.

To orient you here are some distances from the home:
100 feet to the ocean
3 miles to Sea World
4 miles to La Jolla Cove
5 miles to Historic Old Town
7 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. More than half of our guests have come without a car and all have gotten around quite easily and most of the other half never use them. 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.

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.

Riding bikes along the boardwalk is usually the most scenic way to get around and take in the atmosphere. We provide two beach cruiser bicycles for you. There's also a nearby rental shop just 3 blocks away that rents surfboards, wetsuits, standup paddle boards, and a lot of other fun beach equipment.

There is also 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.
