South Mission Beach Cottage-San Luis Rey Pl.

This place was wonderful! We loved the cute layout and having two bathrooms was a huge plus. We have two young boys and the boogie boards provided were a hit. Our boys said they were their favorite part of the trip! Having a washer and dryer was incredibly helpful since our kids’ clothes were sandy, smelly and dirty by the end of each day.Pros:
• Location: A short walk to some great food and right next to the water
• Two bathrooms and a washer and dryer
• For me (the mom): The lounge chairs with comfy cushions were perfect for reading and relaxing outside
• Beach and water toys: Truly a lifesaver and so thoughtfully providedCons:
• Not the owner’s fault, but the house next door was under construction. It’s something to consider if you need complete quiet during the day. That said, work didn’t start until around 8:00 a.m. and wrapped up later in the afternoon.Overall, this was the best VRBO home we’ve stayed in. We loved it so much and all the extra amenities were incredibly thoughtful and absolutely worth it!

Cottage was as advertised and communication with host was wonderful. Would stay here again with our family.

Outstanding host, very accommodating. Great location, fully equipped. We will definitely be back!

I would highly recommend this beach cottage. The location is prime - less than a minute walk to the bay and five minutes to the beach. I really appreciated having a house vs a multiunit condo, and with our own outdoor space. This rental has a king sized bed which rare and it is very comfortable. It was so nice to have a parking spot, as we found renting a car was key to seeing all San Diego had to offer. Candis was very responsive to an issue we encountered. One side note I would offer is that as of the end of November 2025, the house next door was under construction. The crew respected the quiet hours and didn’t start until 8 am. The primary impact for us was that we like to sleep in on vacation. So if your family, especially those staying in the primary room (as it is on that side of the house), are looking to sleep in past 8 am wait to stay here until the construction is complete. They seem to be moving quickly.
