We are located at 726 Dover Court in South Mission Beach, with one amazing parking space and an outdoor courtyard that will be your favorite place to rest and relax after a day in the sun! The unit sits on the ground-level of a two-unit building, with a spacious courtyard patio that is private to the cottage. The patio is about 15 x 20 feet in size and is an outdoor space you will not find easily elsewhere for this value! Enjoy grilling and dining while just steps away from the deep blue sea, the boardwalk, sandy beach, and surf! Play in the ocean right in front of lifeguard tower #12, located straight from the sidewalk leading you to the beach. Just four doors from the shore, it will take you only 70 steps to get to the boardwalk, sand, and surf! We love that all of the adventures and activities are so close, yet perfectly distanced so you can still find quiet respite at the home when desired. Take a short stroll a few blocks North and you will find fun for all ages at Belmont Park. The famous Giant Dipper Roller Coaster, arcade, minigolf, shopping, dining, and more can be found right here on the boardwalk! Beautiful fitness center and indoor Plunge pool welcomes all ages for fun out of the sun. Small grocery markets and eateries are all conveniently located within walking distance from the home. There are many nearby rental shops offering bicycle, kayak, surfboard, sailboat rentals and much more! Keep your vehicle parked and explore the area by foot, bicycle, or blades! We would love to have you visit us! We have lots of returning guests come back year after year to their favorite beach spot, and we hope you will too!

From the living room you will pass the bunk bed caves (TWO TWIN BUNKS which are open to the hallway and living area with their own TVs) and to Bathroom 2 and then Bedroom 2 (KING BED). You will then find Bedroom 1 (KING BED) which has the ability to close a door to this hallway, creating a main suite that attaches to Bathroom 1.

Nice comfortable place. There were 4 of us visiting and we were able to walk to dinners and drinks out. The beach is right down the walkway. The hosts very quick to respond to questions and were very friendly. We would stay here again.

It was a very good stay; overall, I was very happy with the property. The location is great. There are plenty of beach toys to use. The patio is very nice. The short walk to the beach is really easy straight down the path. The GPS seems to want to take you past the drivable alley to the walking path, so double-check; if you can't turn down the street, you may have gone past it. Also, it seemed to happen when we ordered some food. The delivery person came past the street to the walking path side of the address.

Wonderful place for a San Diego family vacation!

We had the opportunity to come to San Diego and attend my nephew/son’s Family Day & Graduation from the Marines. This location & property was PERFECT!! We got to see the sunset together from the beach & share how grateful we were to be together. We had EVERYTHING we needed in the house to truly feel as if we were home. There was so much around us to keep us entertained, we were not far at all from the Marine Corp Recruit Depot. Given the chance, will definitely want to come back. Sharon replied promptly anytime I notified her of anything or had questions during and prior to our visit. It was the BEST experience ever! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here!! I only wish we had more time to have stayed longer.

Pros:
Location
Price for what you get
Number of beds
Outdoor space and patio
Good quality linens
Provided beach accessories: Chairs, toys, boards, etc.
Fans for airflow
Cons:
Bathrooms need work. When trying to just use the bath the shower head still sprays water. Alternatively, the bath faucets don't stop flowing while just trying to use the shower. Slow draining.
King size beds were lumpy and a bit uncomfortable as a result. Headboards are not attached so anytime you would move it would clunk into the wall.

My family of 6 stayed at this property for 3 nights. The location was great. Close to beach and walking distance to attractions and restaurants. The house was not the cleanest as I found hair on bed sheets and In drawers. The plumbing also needs some attention as both bath tubs back up and do not drain good. The property is a duplex and the unit is the bottom unit. The unit above had guests that were loud and had children that sounded like they were running and jumping late at night and we were woken up by them early in the morning. Also the surrounding properties are very close, so the neighbors were also loud and there were multiple gatherings around us. I would not stay at this property again, only because of the noise.

I have all positive things to say about our time here…from the outdoor patio area, the location, a well stocked kitchen and the quick response from the home owner.

Loved the quick walk to Belmont and the beach! House was clean and perfect for my husband, 6 y.o. stepdaughter, my mother and me. Lock box was finicky but got it open after a few tries! Obly big downfall was regarding the neighbors in the unit above us; they took our parking spot (they had a car in the garage as well) and asked us to park in the garage next to their 2nd car. It was too tight a fit so we had to use the roads. Otherwise, loved the house!

We had two family’s here and it was perfect! Distance to the beach and Belmont were exactly what we needed!
I did message on day 1 or 2 of our stay about the fridge and never heard back but we made it work!

It was my 3 year old's first time to the ocean. We wanted a location that was easily walkable for little legs, but we didn't necessarily need all the fancy frills that comes with close to the ocean properties. This place was great. The price was fair for the accommodations and the property was as advertised. It is older, but clean and comfortable.
The parking space easily fit our 4-Runner. We could even open all 4 doors when parked!
The outdoor space was very relaxing. We ate most meals at the table and watched the world go by. We used the fire table in the evening, which was super fun for the kids.
The neighborhood was quiet and there were many families walking around. There is a market, coffee and some food options a short (4 minute) walk away. We loved Sara's Mexican food and Capri and brought their food home multiple times! Belmont Park is lots of fun and has other food options in and around it. It was about a 10 minute walk but again, my 3 year old was able to walk it multiple times and had no problem doing so...we could have left the stroller at home.
The walk to the ocean really is super close and it was very convenient for us to run back when something was forgotten or needed.
The owners were awesome. They quickly answered any questions that I had before the trip. They sent an email on our first full day to check in and make sure that everything was good.
We're already dreaming of a return trip!

Location is perfect for family beach vacation. Much appreciated the on-site parking. Beach, food, groceries, coffee a very short walk. The bunk bed cave was perfect for our four year old grandson. Lots of beach toys available to use. Generous outside patio space, which was great for any/all meals. We did hear foot steps, etc from upstairs rental unit, but did not find that bothersome. We had a great stay and would recommend.

Everything was perfect. The place was exactly as advertised. The single story was perfect for my parents in their 80s. The patio was even better than advertised. We had everything we needed. The beach was so close, yet the place was quiet enough that we could even hear the waves. I have already shared this place with friends to book for their families.
5.0
The home was decorated beautifully with its beach theme. We loved it! The home is just a hop, skip, and a jump to the beach…just a few steps away. Everything we wanted or needed was close by to walk to or a short drive away. We spent our time at the beach, Belmont Park, and hanging out with other family members at their beach rental in the same neighborhood. We would stay here again. ♥️

I cannot say enough great things about our stay at this beach house. It was cozy, comfortable and well decorated. It had all the amenities of home including linens, towels and kitchen utensils. It is so close to the beach without being in a high traffic area.

We really enjoyed our stay. Kids especially loved the short walk to the beach and the rental was in walking distance to everything we needed. Everyone slept comfortably and there was enough space and ammenities for a family of 8. There were also a ton of beach toys and accessories (total bonus)!
5.0
Perfect for our needs. The individual TVs on the bunk beds, genius! My 10 year old and my 8 year old enjoyed them completely. The two bathrooms allowed for quick prep time.? We were all able to shower each morning without tripping on each other. Enjoy the beach on every day of our stay. It was so relaxing to stay this close to the beach.

This is the perfect house for families with kids! There’s so many great sand toys, a 1/2 block to the beach, large patio to enjoy, and the bunk beds are so fun!! Very enjoyable stay! Thank you!

Had a great time. Close to most everything we wanted. House is small, like the rest in the area. But it accommodated 2 couples, two young kids and two babies quite well. Host was good to work with. Had a good time.👍

Great location for a family vacation in San Diego. Easy parking, access to host and amenities. Our family was very happy with our stay here and would stay again!

We traveled with our 18 yo daughter and 10 yo son. The house is in the most perfect location for the beach, restaurants, Belmont Park and a local market. Very short drive to San Diego Zoo and many other activities. My son loved the bunk beds and the variety of beach toys available to us at the house! It was a relatively quiet area and felt safe!
5.0
Let's start with how great our hosts were. 2 days before our planned arrival, San Diego was going to be under a "Gale" warning. I'm from AZ, idk what a Gale is and I was convinced our trip was ruined. But Sharon helped me stay positive and reassured me that even though the weather may not be what I was hoping for, there had been other families that had stayed during similar weather conditions and were able to pull out some memories. The same happened with our trip. Although there was a lot of clouds and rain, as soon as we saw a break in the weather, we were at the beach in seconds. Literally a 30 second walk!
In addition to all the clouds and rain, unfortunately it was WINDY! But, the house is situated perfectly that the wind was not so much a bother. And the neighborhood was so quiet.
Only a short, and I mean short walk to a market, deli's, tacos, coffee. Really a great location to park the car for a few days, enjoy the atmosphere and have all you need.
The only thing negative I would say is if you have many devices to charge, bring a power strip or 2. Not many convenient outlets to use for charging. But that is a small price to pay for all this location has to offer.

Loved this rental! Was exactly as pictured, short walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again. I couldn't get my son out of his "cave" (the bunk bed) - this was a neat setup.

The place was great! It just needs a new toaster. This one didn’t have the handles and very uneasy and tricky to use.

The rental had everything we needed and more! Directions and communication was spot on our entire stay. We will stay here again!

Property was exactly as described. Steps from the beach, great amenities, contact with owners was prompt and helpful. Even with weather a little cooler, this was a wonderful stay

We enjoyed a long weekend in this sweet cottage with great patio in South Mission Beach. The check in was detailed and went smoothly. The owners were great with checking in to make sure we were all set. The living room TV was great to relax after days of sightseeing. The neighbors were very friendly.

Great condo just a half block from the beach! It was perfect for our group of 7. Only complaints would be that it happened to be cold while we were there but fortunately they had a fireplace that helped heat up the place and lots of blankets. It was nice having a washer and dryer, just was a drawback they didn't provide any detergent, and it was super loud so we could only run clothes when we we're gone. In the smaller bathroom the sink was clogged and shower barely worked and on the last day, the bathroom door got stuck and wouldn't close so that was awkward. Overall though it was a great place for the price and location!

We loved this property and would 100% go back! We had good communication from the owners, the location was quiet yet so close to the beach and restaurants, and it was just the right amount of space for
our family of 4.

The pictures are very accurate and our party of 6 was very comfortable staying here. The beach is so close! AND if you have kids I highly recommend staying here as you are super close to the Belmont arcade and fair. Lots of fun games and roses right on the boardwalk. Our 7 year old and twin 4 year olds LOVED the beach and the arcade and the restaurants that were super close. Highly recommend this propriety!

My family of 6 stayed here over Christmas 2022. The property is in a great location and literally 30 seconds from the beach! Walking to Belmont Park, shops and cafes is very easy. Great morning walks on the boardwalk seconds from your door. The kids bunks with individual tvs were a total hit with my 15 and 11 year olds. Plenty of room for us all! We loved the parking space but be forewarned if you have a larger vehicle - it’s a tight squeeze! We happened to be there when the city was digging up and working on water lines so that was an issue but nothing the owners could control. I do wish the vacuum cleaner would have worked because there seemed to always be sand inside which would have been easier to vacuum up but we used a broom. Sand gets everywhere when you stay at the beach- not a bad problem to have, though! Overall I would highly recommend this property! We felt it was a great deal for the location and a perfect fit for our family!

This was a great place to stay. We loved that it so close to the beach. This house was within 20-30 minutes of most of the locations that we visited in the area.
