About this condo rental

Situated in Mission Beach, this lovely condo for $203 per night is a great choice for your next break. Summary: Just steps to the sand, this property has recently been completely updated to provide you with the feel of luxury. Take our boogie boards and beach equipment out for the day and come home to grill on your private front porch or walk to the restaurants in Pacific Beach. This unit is laid out to comfortably sleep 4 in two beds. It has a separate dining area and a full kitchen, so you always have the option of dining in or experiencing the vast array of PB restaurants and bars. The Space: This recently renovated 1BR is typical Mission Beach. Efficient use of space maximizes the sense of space. A queen in the bedroom and full pull out in the living room provide the sleeping arrangements. You have a fully stocked kitchen with all you could need to prep (pots, pans, utensils, blender, toaster, microwave, oven, stove and service for up to 6 guests). Guest Access: The whole unit is yours. This unit is part of a small and quiet 6-plex with 3 long term and 3 vacation rentals. The patio in the picture is not shared; it is solely for your use. The Neighborhood: Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around "courts" with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to "live at the beach". Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away). Getting Around: We provide a single covered parking space. It is accessed off the alley and as such can be a tight fit (as with about 90% of the parking spaces at the beach). We recommend a small to midsized car to make it easier to park. We also recommend backing into the spot as that makes it easier to get in and pull out. Looking for a unique way to get around Mission/ Pacific Beach during your stay? We've partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you! Other Things to Note: This is "typical" beach parking so we do not recommend large cars. The spots will not accommodate anything more than a mid-size car or SUV. For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement. Despite any stated cancellation policy, I will refund 100% for any cancellations made prior to 90 days from your arrival date. Thereafter I will refund your rental fee to the extent I am able to re-rent the unit for the days cancelled. We only offer the air conditioning between May and September Interaction with Guests: We are a self-service destination (check-in details will be sent 3 days prior to arrival). However, we are also a full-service, professional management company (that has been a Superhost/Preferred Partner for over 4 years running) and we are just a phone call/text/email away and have agents that are almost never more than 10 minutes away should a need arise.

Steps away from the beach. 30 minute walk to Belmont Park. It was Christmas time, so Belmont Park was beautifully decorated. Grocery store was 10 minutes to walk. Plenty of Mom and Pop restaurants to choose from. There’s a local coffee shop two blocks away went there every morning chatted with the owners had great coffee and pastries. Would definitely stay at this location again. FYI, parking can be challenging in the summertime. There weren’t that many people at the beach during the Christmas holiday we were able to find street parking. The parking spaces are rather small. If you have a large vehicle, you would need to park on the street.

This property was perfect for a week getaway. It was super close to the beach and it felt cozy in the actual place. There was one carport parking. The alley way is pretty thin, so really do bring a smaller car to make it easier to park. The only complaint I have is whoever was upstairs at the time was very heavy footed. Not sure if it was a rental or someone lives above. But otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay. Restaurants all around to go to and plenty to do. Would highly recommend staying here.

Very nicely equipped and only 70 of my steps to the sand. Parking is a challenge for larger vehicles like mine, but doable. Overall a great place to access Pacific Beach and we will absolutely come again.

Property was very easy to access, within short walking distance to restaurants, shops, coffee shop, bars and so close to THE BEACH! We had an amazing time! Was very thoughtful and convenient to have beach chairs and towels provided too! Overall, great experience!

Location is great. Photos did not match the online booking photos. Condo stated that it would be fully stocked. There were only two bathroom mismatched towels. We booked as a family of 4 so this was disappointing. Having a decent set of towels would have made a greater impression. Would have been nice to have a broom available, sandy feet at the beach all week can get old.

The close proximity(less than the 100 advertised) to the beach and the parking space were the most notable amenities. The unit was functional and met our basic needs. Typical age of the housing is from the 30s and 40s and this unit fits that profile. No central AC or heating was necessary then and was not provided. Instead a portable room AC unit which was ducted to a window was used for cooling. This was needed because the majority of the windows are fixed and the ones that do are small sliders. Fortunately the temperature cools at night which is most likely typical of San Diego weather. An exhaust fan in the bathroom would help though as it stayed damp from showers and towels never really dried completely. The flooring and cabinetry was more worn than I expected. The posted photos may have been a couple years old.

The location is great! Property is clean, Parking is tight, reccomend small vehicle as host suggests. Upstairs guests can be a little noisy. Plenty of items for the beach. The layout of the unit is very nice. We had 4 people and it worked out good. Walking to restaurants was easy. We rented bikes at Ray's and were very happy we did! We had a great time!
