We stayed at here for one week in January 2024. This condo is well located, just inside the Strandway, and about 3 houses from the beach. It was also well stocked with staples including spices, condiments, laundry soap, toilet paper, reusable coffee filter, etc. The main living areas are on the first floor and were a little dark for that reason. The bedrooms are spacious and the bathrooms are also nicely remodeled although not shown in the photos. We did run into some maintenance issues and pointed them out to the owner, who was very responsive and helpful along the way. We did not encounter any upstairs noise as nobody was staying there at the time, but we can see how that might be an issue as the upstairs staircase is right along the side of this unit. Also, the smart TV gives you access to all the streaming services (with your own subscription) but unfortunately uses Roku rather than cable TV for basic channels. We found that to be not very user friendly—couldn’t get the football playoffs, for example . Overall a very nice beach condo with the caveats mentioned.

We selected this location because it was close to Balboa Park, Zoo and other kid friendly activities. Having the beach steps away made this even better. We enjoyed that it was not directly in front of the beach so we did have constant foot traffic in front of our location. The house was very well equipped for what we needed. Would have been nice to have plastic wrap and foil, but we made due. All in all it was great for our stay. The only problem we had was with the parking. The space is super narrow and if you have anything larger than a sub compact it will be difficult to get in and out. And parking in the area is very scarce. There were many restaurants within walking distance and some nice bakeries and coffee shops. I would definitely book this place again.

Great location!! Beautiful home with everything you need. So much within walking or biking distance that you never have to get in the car.

Used the house as base for a mini reunion in the area. We were out and about most of the time so didn’t take advantage of all the house had to offer, but it had all most would need (well stocked kitchen, coffee maker, washer/dryer,linens, etc) House was a short walk to the beach or bay. Tons of restaurants and shopping within walking as well. Parking space was very tight, so recommend you bring/rent a smaller car. The small places seemed to be the norm for the houses as well as businesses in the area. Small car will save you some headaches.

The overall house was as described. It was recently updated and super nice. The owner was also really great to work with and very responsive with any questions. I only had two complaints with the stay. The backyard patio had a nice table set up that was lovely to hangout throughout the day into the night hours. My only complaint with the patio was that it was infested with flys. I believe this was due to the wood chips starting to decay from all the moisture it holds. I would recommend taking the wood chips out and replacing with some nice river rock or artificial turf. The neighbor in the old single store house that is west of us was extremely rude and showed his hate towards tourists. He stormed out 2 times during our stay trying to belittle us. He also stated that he was the property owner of the building (which I confirmed with the owner of this rental he was not). Again, this is something out of the control of the property owner, but it just be aware of the neighbor.

I rented the property for myself and my best friend and her family. We had a blast and enjoyed chilling on the patio and of course going to the beach. Seriously just feet away from the beautiful Mission Beach and bustling boardwalk. My nephew his wife and three boys from Texas joined us for their first California beach day and loved it. They boogie boarded all day! You can't beat the views and the beach lifestyle. I can definitely get used to it!! The house was comfortable and perfect for us!! We never even turned our tv on. So many things to do. We rented bikes and rode up and down the boardwalk all day and checked out the Giant Dipper and all the fun at Belmont Park. I truly had an amazing time on my first beach trip back to Mission Beach since I lived there in the 90's and had a blast sharing my favorite eats and treats with my friends and family! Luigis Italian restaurant, Gelato and the taco shop were a big hit! I can't wait to come back!! Thank you! Anni

Had a great time while in San Diego.

Overall amazing experience. Great location steps away from the boardwalk and beach. Short walk to great restaurants and amusement park. Very clean and updated home. We will be back!!!
