Beautiful vacation. We didn’t want to leave. Beach was nice and close, house was very clean, had a bunch of toys and boogie boards for the adults and the kids to play with, had a nice seating area outside of the house. If you’re looking for a place to park your car and leave it there the whole trip then this is the perfect place. Will definitely book here again in the future.

We've always wanted to stay on the beach and this place was perfect for us. Our family had a great time at the beach and restaurants on the boardwalk, and it was easy enough to get out for a day trip in the area too. The host was very proactive and helpful throughout the process.

We enjoyed our stay and especially loved the location. It’s a 30-second walk to the beach. The garage is small as described. We were able to utilize the garage as a carport by very carefully backing in our small SUV and leaving the door open. There was a good collection of cooking supplies and dishes, although no dishwasher which wasn’t a big deal for us.

We truly enjoyed our wonderful staycation. Steps to the beach and just one street over from the bay (quieter and very relaxing). I especially loved my early morning walks along the boardwalk and the evening sunsets. Although it was warm, the numerous fans helped keep us cool inside. The communication was excellent which helped the process go super smoothly. We didn't do much cooking since there were so many restaurants within walking distance, but the kitchen was very cute!

We loved our stay at the red door house in Mission Beach! The location is amazing. Restaurants and the grocery store were all within walking distance. The size is perfect for a small family and thank you for providing sand toys, boogie boards, towels and beach chairs! We had the best time.

This place was perfect for our family get away! Its less then a minute walk to the beach with so many restaurants close by.

The garage is small and they did note that. My sisters Toyota Prius barely fit. So just keep that in mind.

Besides that everything else was GREAT!!!

Property has a great location steps away from the beach. We enjoyed have lunch and dinner on the front patio and the convenience of the location. This property isn’t the most modern but had what we needed for our family trip. You can’t beat the location. I would say this property is great for families but not with toddler aged children. Overall great experience.
