Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around `courts` with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to `live at the beach`
Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away)

Please note that there is no parking at this residence and street parking tends to be difficult find in peak season. You can always park in alleys (just look for breaks in the fire lanes or on Mission Blvd (Just check the street sweeping signs). If you head east on Santa Clara Pl towards the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, there is free daytime parking (not for overnight use). Next to Santa Clara is the Mission Beach Women`s Club, which offers paid parking when they have it (look for the envelopes by the door. Finally, in a pinch you can drop stuff off and then park in Ventura Cove and grab a Bird scooter and jet back to the property. Most of our guests never use their car once on site since everything at the beach is walkable (or Uber-able in a pinch).

There is a fully stocked kitchen with all items needed to bake, cook or grill, pots/pans, cookie sheets, casserole dishes, outdoor plastic dishes, knives, cutting board, blender, coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, first aid kit, a/c & heat, wifi, Smart TV, hair dryer, iron, iron board, shared washer-dryer, luggage rack, hangers, extra linens, pillows and blankets, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, beach umbrellas, and patio furniture.

Beach Equipment: despite the inclusion of snorkeling gear, we do not offer it at our rentals

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month`s rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.
Important notes/house rules:

Cute house, clean. Parking was a little difficult, as stated in the description. The front patio area is great, walking distance to the beach (5 mins), restaurants & bars was really nice! It was a little small for us, but super cute.

The location is absolutely perfect. We had a wonderful time. The host communicated with us when needed very fast! Super cute place :)

We had a few minor items that had to be fixed, bedroom ceiling fan and kitchen faucet but AAron had them fixed in less than 24 hours.

Lovely location nestled between the bay and ocean. Directions to the place were a little confusing to both myself and Uber driver but with the help of a kind woman in the rental office was able to find it right away. I was very sad all the outdoor cushions were not only rain soaked but filthy; pretty much the reason why I rented this unit was because of this potentially lovely outdoor space. I understand they’ve gotten a lot of rain but the sun was shining when I arrived and those cushions should have been brushed off and set to dry in the sun! The indoor space was great with a well stocked kitchen ( although ice in freezer was an old half used stale bag of ice I immediately threw out). I would also recommend better lighting; half the outdoor lights were burned out and minimal lighting inside with the exception of very bright overhead lighting ( can you spell mood spoiler) and the wall sockets were in hard to reach places as I wandered around wondering where to plug my things in. The hair dryer was filled with old hair and dirt rendering it useless and disgusting. First time I opened the closet door the entire door came off its tracking! I will close with saying the rental agency was very quick to respond to my calls; although most disappointed when they said there was nothing they could do about the wet/ filthy cushions outside. Believe a little more attention to cleanliness lighting ( including easier access to wall sockets) would help this rental imensely.
