This place was perfect for us! Steps away from the beach and close to everything else you may want to do in San Diego. Beds are comfy, kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed. Nice patio and you can hear the waves! Great tv with cable and streaming. Lots of windows. Washer and dryer are shared but no one else was in the other units. Has beach chairs and towels and hose to rinse the sand before going into the condo. WiFi was excellent. Only things to note is the garage is small so getting in and out could be challenging and we ran out of TP the morning before we left. Had just the current roll and 1 back up. Maybe have one extra roll. Heater did not work and it was chilly but the bed was warm and cozy. I would stay here again for sure!

Great place to vacation at for a week. It was clean, well stocked, included parking, and an easy walk to the beach, the bay, and Belmont. I just wish it had A/C or more fans - they had 3, but one didn't work, and it did get rather toasty a few days.

The condo was very nice; it had a good location with the beach a couple of minutes walk. The space was clean and fully equipped. I agree that the carpet in the bedrooms could use replacement. We did run out of paper goods, like toilet paper and Kleenex. It would have been nice to have some foil or plastic wrap to put leftovers in. But, overall, it’s a great place to stay.

This little apartment was perfect for us! It's small but very well laid out so we had plenty of space when all the grandkids came for the day. Super easy check in and check out and will definitely stay here again.

We have been coming to Mission Beach for almost 15 years. This condo is nicely updated. Amenities were adequate and communication with property manager by messenger (while slightly delayed) was pleasant. We intend to book again next year. Parking was tight (as most Mission Beach garages are) but we were able to fit our Palisade in the garage (just couldn’t close the door). A nice upgrade would be to replace the locks with a keyless system. Keys are a pain to keep track of on the beach.

Had a great time. The property is great and the location is fabulous. The house was very nice and clean when we arrived. Check in was easy. Property owner did conveniently drop by unannounced to put a sign in the window, seemed unnecessary but not a big deal. The house could also use a furniture upgrade as leather couches are not desirable when lounging at the beach. Overall a great experience and great property. Thank you for your hospitality.

The location was great, close to the beach. Noise wasn’t bad despite how close everything is. But when we got to the property, it was dirty. Trash all over the place, trash cans full, beds were half made, damp towels on the floor and hung over doors, dirty dishes in the sink, empty beer bottles on the counter and on the floor, no toilet paper, no trash bags, grease and crumbs all over the counter, used keurig coffee pod still in the coffee maker. There was just a lot, it looked like someone has just left the property an hour before us. I spent the first 2 hours of my vacation cleaning the place to make it usable the next few days. We had to go out and buy toilet paper and trash bags to replenish. I sent messages to the manager through Vrbo and took pictures but did not receive any response. I also made sure to clean the property before we left. Note that an SUV might not fit in the garage they provide, small cars will likely fit better. Other than the cleanliness, it wasn’t a bad place to stay.

The unit was as advertised…a little compact, up to date, but as promised. We were very pleased. Close to dining and bars, just a short stonesthrow from the ocean. We wound up leaving a few days early due to a home emergency and Robert unexpectedly took two days off our room charge. The parking is a little confusing so good to clarify before and the heater takes a little understanding, but this was worth the price and the deck is a great place for sunbathing.

Had a great stay at Dover Court. Everything was pretty much as we’d expected. We were able to squeeze our RAV4 into the garage with enough room to put our two bikes in as well. Enjoyed going over to the Penant and other local eateries for food and brews. The alley in back was being renovated the last couple of days we were there which it really needed. February isn’t the best beach weather, but we enjoyed biking and walking on the boardwalk, and sticking our feet in the 56 degree water.

This was a great location and nice place to stay. We were able to get in early which was a big help ! Highly recommend this spot for a good beach getaway !

This is a nice property with a convenient location a block from the ocean. All surfaces were clean and bright (with the exception of a bit aged bedroom carpeting). Check-in and check-out were simple, and having onsite laundry facilities was great. Be aware the garage is very short. As others have noted, the only consideration that could make/break your stay is the property next door (of which this property has no control) — their deck overlooks this property and seems to attract loud, partier types. Fortunately, it was only for a few days of my stay and I avoided going on my deck for those days. Overall a good stay, close to the Boardwalk, with responsive management.

The place is super cute and stocked with everything you might need. There’s a coffee maker with filters and a keurig with pods. Lots of fun stuff for the beach- chairs, beach mat, umbrellas, sand toys, skimboard, boogie boards. There was a pack n play and a stroller in the closet. It was really nice to have parking and we were able to fit our compact SUV inside and close the door with inches to spare. Being 60 steps from the boardwalk/beach was so great with a little one for being able to come and go easily. You’re close enough to walk the boardwalk a short way to Belmont Park area and all the action, but still feels far enough away. That said, south Mission Beach is very tight quarters. Your neighbors’ windows are within feet of yours, and since the place doesn’t have ac or heat you will need windows open for circulation. (There are box fans for use but they were super dirty and could use a good cleaning or replacement) It was so nice to have the ocean breeze and hear the waves crashing. Although the area is somewhat more residential, you will likely still hear someone coming from the bars yelling down the street or smell cigarettes drifting into your windows. The sound of the airplanes did not bother us and my toddler loved watching each and every one pass overhead. The outside patio was nice to eat meals and enjoy the weather when it was nice.
I do have to say- the couch. Yuck. The pleather is half worn off on the outside and good thing it’s brown because I cringe to think of how dirty it might be. Luckily we didn’t absolutely need the pull out bed, because it was pretty sandy inside and the sheet on it hadn’t been washed. The carpets in both bedrooms are also super worn and stained, but the rest of the unit, in comparison, is spic and span. Very cute and updated and the cleaners do a good job.
One major concern is several of the window locks need repaired- not so much for security because they’re high on the second floor, but for those with small children who could fall out of them (namely behind the couch and next to one of the beds)
We really enjoyed our 4 night stay and would definitely return.

We have stayed in multiple properties over the years for our annual Mission Beach Trip. We found this one last year and I was excited we we were able to get it again this year! The location is absolutely perfect! The unit has everything we need, is neat and tidy. It is on a quiet street which we appreciate. We sleep well, and absolutely love listening to the waves while sitting on the porch! It is great to have a locked garage, we park in the nearby parking lot and use the garage to park our bikes etc. Can not wait for the next trip! (Yes, we have already requested it for next year again!)

This little rental was in a great location. Just steps from the boardwalk, beach, and a nice little walk to Belmont. Finding the rental was a little confusing but we figured it out. Parking was interesting if using the garage, smaller the vehicle the better. Few little things noticed were the carpets in the bedrooms are rather stained. The nice flooring throughout the house would look great in those bedrooms! The top lock for the door was difficult to get to work when leaving. Other than that, we loved our stay. Super cute little place, nothing fancy but perfect for our trip.

Overall a good stay. Location was fabulous and property was clean. Only concern was lack of heat. This wasn’t an issue during the day, but became quite chilly over night.

The location was great but some updates are needed. The carpet in the bedrooms is extremely worn and stained. New linens and shower curtains would help. The couch is old and worn as well. Walking to the beach and nearby restaurants was amazing and having a garage was great too. Kids loved using the boogie boards. If you are renting a car, get a smaller one cause the garage is small and barely fit the SUV.

4.0
Overall, we had a pretty good stay!
Cons:
The house was not as clean as we would have expected. Many surfaces in the house were surprisingly sticky. The water faucet in the fridge door was a little off-putting—it had quite a bit of buildup around the spout. Pillows could use an update. Not comfortable and there were some stains under the pillowcases.
No AC would have likely been fine under normal circumstances but with the unprecedented heat wave, it was miserable until the sun went down (definitely not the property owner’s fault but maybe consider an alternative cooling method in the future). The three provided box fans were a blessing but absolutely disgusting. The couch and chair are a little on the older side and the pleather pealed off and stuck to you any time you got up. The hot water situation was a little touch and go. The shower would cycle between hot and cold with no touching of the faucet handle and we never got it to work in the kitchen.
*Not really a con, just more informational for the next visitor: make sure your car is fairly small. We loved having the garage but had we gotten anything larger than a small sedan, it would have been nearly impossible to get it in the garage.
Pros:
The location of this unit could not be beaten. Literally less than a 60 second walk to the beach and a couple minutes to the boardwalk. So much stuff to do and see within walking distance and the area, as a whole, felt pretty safe. The porch area outside was a great place to sit and drink coffee in the mornings and hang out in the evenings while listening to the waves in the background. Even though the garage was small, it was nice to not have to worry about the car. Check in and check out were super easy.
While the list of cons seems longer than the pros, we would definitely stay here again!

These units are the best bang for your buck. There’s no hotel option cheaper to be this close to the beach. This was my third time staying at these units and I never had a issue with anything. We went with any other couple. Plenty of space for 4 adults. We will be back again and again.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and there is a reason we came back and will continue to come back!! Excellent location to the beach, airport, attractions etc!! Very clean and well kept property. Make sure to book a compact size car when staying here as the garage is suited for a compact size. Affordable, comfortable, clean - what more can you ask for! Washer and dryer on site is an added bonus. Can't wait to return!!!! Thank you Robert for another great stay!!!

The location was awesome! It was just two houses from the boardwalk which was great for my young kids. It made it easy to walk back from the beach for snacks and the bathroom. The property was clean and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

We have 2 children so at times the neighbors can be obnoxious but I’m guessing they are other renters. The proximity to the beach is perfect. We had a Jetta so the garage wasn’t an issue, like I read from other reviews, unless neighbor trash cans and vehicles were in our 5 point turn radius. There were plenty of beach towels, toys, umbrellas to use. There are no complementary shampoo and conditioner or hair dryer so plan accordingly.
Little conveniences like working refrigerator dispensed water and ice do not work. The dishwasher is a “day run” only as it is too loud. But these are not deal breakers for me! Laundry on site is a huge plus and past tenants have left laundry pods but we did bring our own just in case.
The water was always hot when needed. No AC but the fans provided adequate cooling.
We had a few issues on arrival but the owner responded in the morning and compensated us for the inconveniences.
My only caution to renting this property again is the night noise due to the very close proximity to neighbors which is obviously out of the owner’s control. We also found a lack of sit down breakfast options.
