About this house rental
The former home of a writer and educator, this 1920's historic bungalow has been completely restored to provide a very comfortable stay at America's finest beach. Just steps from the boardwalk and beach (three houses from the boardwalk) and near Belmont Park and the Roller Coaster, the house comes equipped with all you will need for the perfect vacation. Kayak, beach chairs, sand toys, garage parking and an extra outdoor hot water shower.
Please know that this is not a new "cookie-cutter" condo. If you need to have everything "brand new", you should consider newer construction. Retaining Mission Beach history is very important to us. Thanks for understanding.
The master bedroom has a queen bed and flat screen TV. The second bedroom has bunk beds with a single and double. The comfortable futon in the living room makes into a double, where there is another flat screen TV. We also have a Pack N Play for your toddler.
The shelves are lined with over 300 quality books of all varieties. I keep the prices very affordable compared to any other stand alone house in Mission Beach, so it books out very well. Many people really like this historic-style cottage feel rather than 'all-the-same' condos that line much of the beach, and for good reason. The hard-wood floors and Dutch-door in the front provide a nostalgic step back in time, while enjoying the upgrades to the cottage over the years.
World famous Sea World is five minutes away and the San Diego Zoo is ten minutes. World class dining can be enjoyed in downtown's Gaslamp Quarter, a ten minute drive. Mission Beach offers nightly sunsets, biking, sailing, rollerblading, surfing, boating, a roller coaster and the country's most entertaining people-watching.
Book now, for the vacation you deserve.

I had an awesome stay at David’s cute cottage! It was clean and so close to the beach and boardwalk. The parking and front patio were perfect. I will return!

Great to have a washer dryer for sandy beach days. Great value.

The location is everything, but if I had a do-over, I would have just stayed in a hotel. I couldn’t cancel this booking and find a hotel once I arrived without it costing me double due to it being spring break & last minute, sadly. During a heat wave, we found out that the house has no AC, which meant we had to keep windows open constantly- which felt unsafe and didn’t help much when there was no breeze. As another reviewer said, the house is very mildewy-smelling.The house is for sale & it really just seems like the owner gave up on upkeep. The main bed is super uncomfortable. The bunk bed creaks loudly and wiggles with every move. Kitchen is super grubby and old. The electrical is old and sparks when you plug things in. Bathroom lock is rusty. Living room futon and “couch” are old and looked dirty. We also found numerous broken things when we arrived which prompted me to notify the owner (numerous broken blinds, a broken window.) Could only use 2 fans bc the third sounded broken and was obnoxiously loud. Front door/lock is ancient and didn’t feel secure- decent neighborhood, but plenty of riffraff from the boardwalk and people rifling through the trash out front for bottles. Couldn’t use the garage because the door is too low for an SUV. No locks on bedroom doors. Lastly, the cleaning lady showed up a few hours before check out time and started doing laundry from her car while we were packing up - made it awkward.
