This awesome vacation rental in Mission Beach has an ocean view from the living room. The front patio is located steps to the sand and the boardwalk. The location really couldn't be better! It is positioned in the heart of Mission Beach, a gorgeous beach community. Ideal for a small family who wants to enjoy all Mission Beach has to offer. We supply you with beach towels, beach chairs, and boogie boards! Dedicated parking spot for a compact car.
We believe in full transparency so please review these disclaimers before booking:
Due to insurance reasons, the person booking must be at least 25 years old to book and must upload a photo of government ID to the host within 24 hours of booking. We reserve the right to request the first and last names of all members of the group as well as ID’s prior to supplying door code. Due to local laws, stays of longer than 30 days or longer must sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of booking.
Please note that we have occupancy based pricing in our settings. Please select the correct number of people in your group at the time of booking to get the correct pricing for your stay. Keep in mind, if you add more people to your group after booking the rate may adjust slightly. There is an additional charge of $30 per night for each additional person after the initial 4 people. This keeps our rates low and affordable for our average group size for this listing and helps us charge an appropriate fee for the additional linens and utilities used by a larger group size. Thank you for understanding.
We love children and want you to know that they are more than welcome as our guests. This means that children of any age, even infants, are counted as guests in your guest count. Please let us know in advance the ages of all children.
Please be aware that the assigned parking spot is VERY small. The parking in back of the house needs to fit two vehicles, one for your unit and one for the long term tenant in the unit on the second floor. If you are renting a car, you will wish to select a compact or subcompact car. If your car is midsize or larger you will need to park on the street and be mindful of street sweeping signs. (In Mission Beach, street sweeping occurs on Mission Blvd on Mon, Tues, Thurs, & Fridays 8-10 am except holidays.)
A small futon is offered which makes into a bed but it is quite firm and not recommended as a comfortable sleeping option. (It might work for kids or teenagers who are easy going about the firmness of a their mattress.)
Should you want to rent bikes there is a bike rental shop a few block away. (They also rent kid-sized bikes and baby seats if you need those too.)
We can connect you with a service that will set up a private bonfire on the beach. Includes set up and take down, 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.
Want family pictures on the beach? What better backdrop for a group shot than the stunning backdrop of the ocean or bay at sunset! For an extra fee we can arrange for a local portrait photographer to do a photo session of your family on the beach. Let us know in advanced if you're interested and we can make an appointment with the photographer during your stay.
The unit 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.
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.

Mission Beach is 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!
The best thing about the neighborhood is that there is so much within walking distance that you really don't need a car. You could just take a taxi 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.
