And the real highlight...

The sunny private front porch is the perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, or simply relaxing and people-watching after a beach day. The porch includes outdoor seating, café lighting, and a propane BBQ grill.

Because the cottage faces south, the porch gets wonderful sunshine throughout the day.

Guests have access to the entire cottage, private porch, BBQ, and detached garage.

Please note:
- The half bath is located off the laundry room.
- Garage dimensions are approximately 186 inches long x 106 inches wide. Compact and midsize vehicles fit best.

Free street parking is generally available within a few blocks for additional vehicles, though parking can become difficult during summer weekends and holidays.

We really enjoyed our stay at this Mission Beach property. The location was fantastic—close to everything and perfect for enjoying the beach. The home itself was a great size for our family and had nice amenities that made the stay comfortable.The only concern we had was that we tend to get very cold at night, and the listing didn’t mention heating. Unfortunately, the heating and air-conditioning unit were not working during our stay. That said, the management company was very responsive and thoughtful—they provided extra blankets and portable heaters, which we really appreciated and helped make the nights much more comfortable.Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend the property for its location, space, and the helpfulness of the management team.

Super cute cottage right between the ocean and bay. Had everything we needed to stay with our two teens. Came with shampoo, conditioner, bisy wash, laundry detergent. Owner even offered to adjust dates when our flight was csnceled. Had a wonderful stay!

Location was perfect & is where we are use to staying. It’s walkable to so many great places to eat & the beach is about 2 min walk & the bay 20 secs away. The house was so charming & lovely given its tiny size. We loved the little touches of a welcome basket! so thoughtful & appreciated. But we wouldn’t stay again due to the beds being so small. We couldn't sleep comfortably, it’s just too small of a space for my husband & our two kids. This would be the perfect place for a couple to have a romantic getaway. But we enjoyed our trip & had a great time. Communication with Molly was great very responsive & friendly.
