When I first came across this rental I was slightly hesitant about owners residing upstairs, you would never even know they were there, but they were available if you had a problem. Gave us an over veiw of where things were, how to operate garbage disposal etc and were gone.
Unit is very clean & neat, close to everything. The photos in listing are very accurate, no suprises. What you see in photos is what you get.
Only downside is parking is very tight, my husband decided to upgrade his car rental to a Lincoln town car...very tight to park, so if you can make do with a full size car like the size of an Impala or smaller you will be fine.
.
After long days of sight seeing it was a pleasure to come back here, grill some dinner, throw some clothes in the washer & sit outside & relax with a glass of wine. Oh that was a huge plus not to come home with a suitcase full of dirty clothes.
This unit is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend to family & friends. I would not hesitate to rent again on my next visit.

Owner's Response: We loved having Rich & Kate stay at our Mission Bay Hideaway and hope that they hurry back really soon. Bill especially enjoyed reminiscing with Rich about their days in the Navy - both had been on aircraft carriers deployed to Vietnam in the late 60's.
As for the parking - everyone in the beach areas in San Diego vie for each inch of parking space. The space on the side of our house for the rental is actually quite roomy when our neighbor remembers not to crowd us with his large van. This will automatically improve in the very near future since he's in the process of selling the van and moving back east. We also have an arrangement with our neighbor, Hank, 2 doors down, on the corner lot, to swap parking spaces with our tenants, and let them use his large parking space when they have a large vehicle that needs extra room.

Our family of 4 just returned from this rental, and we highly recommend it! Everything is just as promised, the rental is in perfect shape, super clean and has everything a family with kids could need. We arrived very very late at night, and Bill made sure that a bed rail was already installed on one of the twins beds, for our little one. I really love that the second bedroom had two twin beds, as my kids sleep so much better if they each have their own bed.
We all slept great, it was fantastic to have two bathrooms and a washing machine & dryer. The location is perfect for accessing all that San Diego has to offer, but I'd also encourage you to take the time to enjoy the immediate area (Mission Beach). This rental is around 60 feet to the peaceful bay side, and less than 2 blocks to the ocean.
It is so handy to have a parking spot. Sure, it is small, but that is the nature of the neighborhood. I had rented a small car but ended up with a minivan, and it still fit perfectly fine.
You won't regret renting this unit, and Bill was fantastic to work with. We will definitely return!

Owner's Response: We enjoyed hosting Dawn and her family and look forward to their next visit. We're glad the late arrival worked out as well as it did.
We consider the arrival time crucial to our tenant's stay. If the guests have special needs, like a crib, high chair, car seat, bed side rail, etc., or just need last minute directions or instructions on how best to park, we like to make these things available at a moment's notice.
We know that most tenants come to Mission Beach to enjoy the water and the local attractions, like Sea World, the Zoo, Belmont Park, and nearby theme parks like Legoland and the Wild Animal Park; however, we also know that providing things like bikes, chairs, 2 man kayak, and beach toys for the kids, make the stay a little more enjoyable.
Over the years, our guests have told us the things that are most important to them, and we've done our best to provide them.

Our family (kids 2 and 6) had a great week at the Hideaway. Location is as promised, about 100 feet from the bay side beach, and maybe three times as far to the ocean/boardwalk. Everything was clean, neat, new, and in perfect shape. The place is bigger than it looks in the pictures. Owners were extremely friendly, discreet, and attentive.
Pros:
1. incredible location, walking to beach/bay/Belmont Park/PB
2. Great "staging" location for local Seaworld/Zoo/Coronado trip
3. Bikes on site! Lots of fun on the boardwalk
4. Nice local cafes for AM/lunch/coffee
5. Stroller, bed rails, high chair, kids bike, puzzles all provided, very kid-friendly setup!
6. neighborhood is quiet at night
Cons:
1. As noted, keep the rental car small (escape sized suv was ok, anything bigger would have been a problem)
not a lot of cons. we'd go back in a heartbeat. Wonderful place to soak up the San Diego vibe for a week.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean. The kitchen and living room were the right size for 4 people. Everything was lovely. The beds were very comfy and the kids slept well. The bay is one block to the right and the ocean/beach is 3 blocks to the left. It was a few houses from a road but you can't hear any noise from inside. Each morning we would make breakfast, walk along the beach or boardwalk to the grocery store and startbucks (about a 10-15min walk) to get groceries. the parking spot might be tight if you have a large vehicle but we parked a mid-size car there each night with ease. The wifi came in clear.There is in-house laundry so we could pack light and the towels provided were excellent. The location to sea world, main interstates, Belmont Park, grocery, and beach were fantastic!

Owner's Response: We were privileged to have hosted Brad & Jilian and their two kids and we appreciate their kind comments. We take great pride in providing as many amenities as possible to make our visitors' stay as comfortable as possible, and our closeness to Mission Bay, Mission Beach, the super market, shops and restaurants makes this a lot easier. Parking is tight for everyone in the beach area, and having a mid-size car makes parking a little easier; however, we've accommodated large vans and SUV's in the past - it just takes a little practice backing into the spot on the side of our home from our alleyway.
We always appreciate helpful suggestions, and shortly, we'll be providing a couple of new items to our kitchen repertoire - the cookie sheet and bigger oven mitts, that were requested by Jilian.
We look forward to Brad & Jilian's return in the not-too-distant future.

Never been to San Diego before and liked how centrally located we were. Everything we did was only 10-15 minute car ride. The beaches are much closer than I realized. Mission Bay is seconds away while the Pacific Ocean is only a few minutes. The furnishings were comfortable--the beds and pillows especially. Parking is premium and nice to have a spot. We have no reservations about recommending this place to anyone.
Owner's Response: We thank Mike for his kind comments about our Mission Bay Hideaway. He highlights some of the things in which we take great pride and are pleased to provide to our guests.
Over the years, we have been fortunate to meet some wonderful families from all over the world, and several have returned year after year.
We look forward to Mike and his family returning soon as well.

Spring break San Diego/Mission Beach
Submitted: March 22, 2012
Stayed: March 2012
Clean cozy property with owners on site. At first we only had one set of keys for 4 adults, but that was fixed. The WIFI was not very dependable although they tried to get it up and running. It was a little hard to figure out how to find the property initially, but easy after we found it the first time. Parking was extremely tight, but characteristic of the neighborhood in general and not this property alone. Great beach access to both the bay and the ocean. Just wish the weather had been warmer while we were there. Really don't recommend spring break in San Diego - next time we will have to plan a summer trip.

Owner's Response: We enjoyed having Maureen & her family. Unfortunately, the weather went cold & rainy for a couple of days. We always provide 2 sets of keys for visitors, with a Ralph's discount card on the key chain. Things got confused the night Maureen arrived and the second set was provided the next day.
Both WiFi and High Def TV come from ATT Uverse, which is great normally, since 4 different TV channels can be watched or taped at the same time. Occasionally, the ATT Modem has to be rebooted to reacquire the WiFi or TV; however, this is few and far between. To assist first time visitors, we'll be updating the directions on our FAQ Flyer to make it easier to find our Mission Bay Hideaway.

We had the pleasure of staying here Jan & Feb of 2012.
The only downside is the parking and I agree with the recomendation of a mid-sized car (MAX).
That being said, after you park the car, you are within walking distance of (almost) everything. [starbucks, grocery store (the RALPHS cards save you TONS), Mission Beach walkway, the Boardwalk on the ocean and restaurants & bars too numerous to mention.
The owners are friendly & prompt when needed but otherwise not noticeable.
The accomodations were as advertised and everything was in good working order. We grilled out on numerous occasions.
We like the location, because not a lot of people walking by (like on ocean or bay front) but near these activities. Owners supplied bed rails and stroller for our visiting grandson and we used the stroller at Sea World.
I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone considering Mission Beach/Bay

Owner's Response: We loved having Dennis & Carol stay with us and eagerly await their next visit. We enjoy providing the extra items for children, and this has saved time and expense for many travellers with toddlers. As they have statetd, our Mission Bay Hideaway offers privacy and separation from traffic, while also being close to all of the amenities Mission Beach offers.
Parking in the Beach area is a battle for everyone,and we've done our best to remove all obstacles, including moving the gas meters this past year. A midsize car is ideal; however,we've had large cars & pickups park here-It just takes extra care when backing into the spot.
Sincerely, Bill & Calina

Owner's Response: We enjoyed hosting Rodolfo & his family and hope they hurry back. We were able to provide them 2 car seats, a stroller, and high chair for their two little ones, and had a porta crib available if they chose to use it. They were also able to use these items for a side trip to Disneyland over a weekend. It gives us a warm feeling to be able to help our tenants save time & money by not having to transport these items.

We stayed here in mid September with our two kids ages 2 and 4. The location is outstanding because it is right next to Mission Bay and across the street from Mission Beach. It is also a great location for going to the zoo, SeaWorld and Legoland. The apartment itself was perfect for our little family. The owners are more than accommodating and welcoming to make the stay wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend time in San Diego and can't wait to go back and visit beautiful San Diego.

Owner's Response: We greatly appreciate these kind words and hope that Celeste & Family hurry back to our Mission Bay Hideaway. Over the years we have added several items for small children, such as portacrib, high chair, stroller, car seat, baby bjorn, & side rail for bed. We also have a small child's bike. These items come in handy for our young family visitors and save them some on airline fees.

Owner's Response: We felt privileged to have Chuck, Rosemary & their family stay in our Mission Bay Hideaway. It was especially great for Bill, as an old Navy retiree, to meet and share experiences with their son, who was on leave from the aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln, just back fom the Persian Gulf. It brought back memories of his days on the carrier, Shangri-La, during the Vietnam war. We look forward to having the whole family back sometime very soon.
