Awesome location! Would 1000% stay there again!
"Airbnb Review #877684916924036502 #198004"
Right by the beach, safe and peaceful
"Airbnb Review #864629438856683039 #195796"
Property was great and the location is what made it fantastic! Right in the heart of the action on Mission Beach. Dolphins jumping within a couple hundred yards every night. Kids could play right outside the door on the beach. It was a little tight for our family of 4 but it’s to be expected in this price range. We didn’t spend much time indoors anyways. Next trip I’d spring for a walkout patio. This property has a designated “patio space” but it wasn’t connected to the unit and we never used it. The host was super responsive and helpful whenever we needed something. Overall a great spot and a great vacation!
"Airbnb Review #849329175362932026 #193038"
The location was awesome. Well worth the cost to be that close to the beach with children. We have made several trips to CA in the past and this place by far has been our favorite. It was clean and had everything we could possibly need if we didn’t already bring it. Will definitely be back to stay again ❤️
"Airbnb Review #801545376186469435 #185509"
Will definitely stay the next time we’re in San Diego! Thank you
"Airbnb Review #768180299116527199 #180790"
Management is top notch and even texted to say the dolphins were swimming outside. Super clean condo and everything was within walking or a short drive from the condo. Will definitely look to stay here again.
"Airbnb Review #763182565614841000 #180097"
We had a fabulous time! Location is unbeatable, the place was immaculate, and it had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
"Airbnb Review #737739634831083678 #174539"
Loved our stay here! The location is perfect with kids. It is a tight squeeze for three adults and two small kids, but being right on the beach and a block from the boardwalk was worth it. We’d stay here again.
"Airbnb Review #734153134493021436 #173550"
great location - a bunch of cool places within walking distance. We wanted to experience an oceanfront place for once in our life.
"Airbnb Review #729789712644923270 #173156"
My family and I had the most amazing stay! Not only was the condo extremely clean but it was very well equipped for a perfect day at the beach! I know the area very well and this is why I chose this location to stay, what I didn’t know is how nice our stay would be. We had great communication with the host just prior to and during our stay to make sure everything was perfect and I have to say everything really was perfect! We will definitely be back and look forward to many more stays here!!
"Airbnb Review #723980150874899183 #171901"
Great location, right on the beach! Super close to restaurants, shops, etc. The place was clean and provided all the essentials. No AC made it a bit hot but there were fans and can open windows for the ocean breeze. Host is a property management company so not as flexible and accommodating. However, we had a good stay.
"Airbnb Review #713867210712140177 #170002"
Good time
"Airbnb Review #696481033787014788 #166879"
This place was awesome ! A gem for sure, my family and I truly enjoyed it. The first night was a little difficult getting used to the no ac but the extra fans were definitely lifesavers! This place truly has everything you need for a comfortable stay. So thankful for the beach toys , chairs, towels and the umbrella which made our beach days so effortless. There are no views from the place itself but all you have to do is take a couple steps and you’re right in front of beautiful sun sets! The bbq was clean and the private patio was great to sit at. We had no problems during our stay, in fact we tried to get an extra night but there was another family already booked. We look forward to booking this place again for our next years summer vacation !
"Airbnb Review #693584971029413675 #166262"
So easy to check in and out. Great communication with owner. No issues. Amazing place and even better location. Definitely will be staying here again!
"Airbnb Review #692128621785423666 #165785"
Great location and value!
"Airbnb Review #673946075179726836 #162940"
This is our 4th stay and will absolutely be back! Have recommended the home to numerous people. Clean, super convenient and comfortable
"Airbnb Review #669635099601219244 #160264"
Friendly and close to the beach
"Airbnb Review #667506158132182492 #159891"
The unit is in a perfect location! Close to everything. The communication was credible! I could not believe how quickly they responded to my questions. They were very professional and kind! Will definitely rent again!
"Airbnb Review #636274853398755922 #153709"
Very cute Airbnb, perfect for a small family, close to the beach. Parking is extremely tough, as advertised, but we made do and had a great weekend.
"Airbnb Review #632711025233201360 #153332"
Our family of four absolutely loved our weekend stay in this cozy condo just steps from the beach! We can’t wait to return!
"Airbnb Review #613117954671783013 #149989"
Amazing location! Walking distance to Belmont boardwalk was so fun for our kids, as well as waking up each morning and walking along the beach. Would definitely return!
"Airbnb Review #581988639704574316 #144572"
perfect place on beach
"Airbnb Review #572519725549743816 #144100"
Great location. Parking space very small for any size car. Consider not bringing a car and using public transit or using Uber/Lyft. Clean and great communication.
"Airbnb Review #557368530711048941 #141164"
Nice place to stay! My sons loved being able to go straight to the beach. Also glad they had space heaters to help during the cold nights.
"Airbnb Review #545680373547182346 #139666"
Awesome location right on the boardwalk, and a minute walk to Belmont. The kitchen window has a partial ocean view, but hey, you're only steps to the sand anyways. Parking is tight, but not a deal breaker. Overall, a great place to stay for the price. We had one night where the upstairs unit was loud agter 10pm, but a quick text to Kim took care of it (even though they don't manage that unit).
"Airbnb Review #529032283435792817 #137093"
Enjoy the view
"Airbnb Review #523972647711826414 #136686"
Great location. Good vibe on the boardwalk. Recommend to all.
"Airbnb Review #505816171185936518 #134070"
Perfect location! It didn’t bother us at all that it doesn’t have an ocean view because you were only just two steps from the ocean. We loved watching everybody go back-and-forth on the boardwalk and rented bikes along the boardwalk. The house is way more fully stocked than we were anticipating with boogie boards, beach toys, chairs truly everything you would ever need is there. A lot of places along the beach are kind of old and run down this seemed very nice, new and clean. We can’t wait to stay again! Hosts are very knowledgeable and communicated with everything we needed.
"Airbnb Review #490697843714896920 #132181"
Incredible view !! Very clean and when it came to check in the communication was great. Looking forward to renting again.
"Airbnb Review #485517901172221170 #131633"
Great condo right on the beach! Loved having all the beach supplies stocked, and it was very comfortable for four adults for the weekend. It got a little warm at night with no AC, but there were plenty of fans provided to help. Kimberly was a great host!
"Airbnb Review #460901149949038894 #127072"
We loved the location, beach chairs, and boogie boards. It was fun to be so close to restaurants and just steps from the beach!
"Airbnb Review #450012713952042915 #125360"
The condo is really well stocked - kitchen items, bathroom necessities, beach toys for kids, boogie boards, beach towels, beach chairs, board games, extra fans….you name it. The location is perfect - right on the beach. It was so awesome not even having to put shoes on before we headed out to the beach! And worth the extra cost to be right on the beach since we had two little ones with us and could just go back to the unit for nap time and then head back to the beach again. The patio isn’t connected to the unit, but it was still so nice having a place to sit on the boardwalk and people watch and enjoy the ocean.
"Airbnb Review #440639849494609518 #123568"
The patio wasn’t attached to our condo, we had to walk around the corner and down a little bit. But it was a very nice condo, and a beautiful place to stay. Super convenient since we were just across the boardwalk from the beach.
"Airbnb Review #432593340050760709 #122249"
Wonderful place thank you
"Airbnb Review #429763124896265969 #121433"
Place had every amenity we needed for a family of three. It was a hot week but the place had lots of great fans and ceiling fans. The place was In A perfect location to shops and restaurants and steps from the beach. Kitchen had basics plus some extras so that was helpful. Being so close to the beach was very convenient. There is also a little market 2 small blocks away which was handy. I would definitely rent this place again.
"Airbnb Review #401436681921125774 #115965"
Space was a little tight with 3 adults and an infant due to pack n play, stroller, carseat, etc. But all in all, it was perfect for what we needed given that we were mainly on the beach or at our family member's bigger condo.
"Airbnb Review #394987179413052845 #114410"
Great location. Literally steps from the water. Property is well maintained and clean. The hosts have provided amenities to make our stay pleasant and comfortable.
"Airbnb Review #390580214357180465 #113915"
My family rented this beach house for 3 nights and we weren't disappointed. The house was steps from the sand and provided all the comforts of home. Our favorite part was having the kitchen window open and listening to the waves as we ate. The private beach view patio was amazing. The size of this place was perfect for our family of 4. Definitely would stay here again.
"Airbnb Review #769401595 #111914"
Clean place and a communicative host
"Airbnb Review #762630600 #109716"
So enjoyed being right on the beach.
"Airbnb Review #759948167 #108982"
The location made going to the beach pretty easy.
"Airbnb Review #752160572 #105379"
The location itself is amazing, literally steps to the sand. Had lots of beach toys and stuff which was really nice. Only downside is the parking. extremely tight spaces and difficult to have two vehicles parked, had to back up into the alley to get everyone in the car. But great location
"Airbnb Review #750027859 #104643"
GREAT Location
"Airbnb Review #745656555 #103295"

Great location and host was very kind and responsive.
"Great location"
Great location, cozy spot! My family had a great time! We will stay again.
"Literally a few yards from the boardwalk."
Great location and very clean space. Had all the necessities we needed, and literally a few yards from the boardwalk. Parking was tight, but we have a large vehicle. The beds were blissfully comfortable.
"Amazing Location"
Amazing location, very clean and organized apartment, kitchen has the necessary appliances to make some dinners, very comfortable beds, can't recommend enough! Hosts are very helpful and responsive, making the booking, check-in, and check-out processes as smooth as possible.
"We will rent again!"
We had a great time at this property. It is steps from the sand and a few blocks from Belmont Park. Rental included beach items. We will rent again. Thanks!
"Perfect Location"
This was a perfect location near Belmont Park and very easy access to the beach/boardwalk. This place included everything we needed. We had a great time
"Family Trip"
Amazing location, and adorable place! We took our 3 small kids in August, and we all had a blast. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot! Right on the beach and next to everything! It was a little small for a family of 5, but it still worked out great. We really weren’t in the room much, since there was so much to do. The kids loved that they provided boogie boards and all the fun beach toys. We will definitely be back, and highly recommend it!
"Great!"
Great location, beautiful condo, Awesome host.
"This condo was perfect!"
This condo was perfect!!!! Location was right where we wanted to be!! From the communication with Kimberly before check in through check out she was amazing to work with & really cared about making sure our stay was perfect & we were taken care of. Will definitely be returning back here for our annual Mission Beach vacation.
"4th of July"
Stayed with my family over 4th of July weekend. Condo was clean and everything you needed for the kitchen was there was quite nice. It was nice to have a patio on the strand, but it was unfortunately shared with another unit. Would be better to be able to come to an agreement with the other unit regarding usage rather than only using half 100% of the time. Furniture on 3256 unit side was much too large for the space with the BBQ there, but nice to have it. Condo access with the codes was great not having to have keys. All in all it was a good stay for us!
"Good time"
We had such a good time! Can’t wait to go back. Location was perfect
"Cute and Clean"
The place was super cute and clean. Perfect location if you want to be right by the beach. The place had tons of beach chairs, toys, towels, umbrellas. It was well equipped. Our stay was great and would stay there again
"2nd Stay"
This is our second time staying here. It is close to the ocean, boardwalk, stores, restaurants, and activities. The place is clean and comfortable. Chairs and umbrellas were a nice touch. We will return.
"This was a fantastic"
The location couldn't be any more perfect. This was a fantastic, clean space right on the beach. The hosts were excellent. Beds and furniture all seemed to be nearly brand new and very comfortable. The on-site washer and dryer was a very nice amenity to have. No complaints from us... we had a great time at a great Airbnb. Thank you!
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay"
The apartment was very clean with almost new comfortable furniture. Great location right on the beach and close to restaurants, Belmont Park. Plenty of beach towels and beach chairs provided along with a deck out front for sunning and people watching. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
"Great Location"
Great location, the home is great and the host is amazing! I would definitely recommend staying here if you want to get the fully San Diego experience!
"Great Place"
Great place to stay
"Great Place"
Place was great. Super clean and right on the beach. We had a blast
"Enjoyed out stay!"
We enjoyed our stay very much. Small details were thought of and the location was great- close to the beach, Belmont Park, Starbucks.
"Great Experience"
A perfect two bedroom condo right on the beach. The condo was great and so was the ocean and the waves. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance. I will definitely be back.
"Just the size we needed. Very convenient to so y attractions."
Stocked well with beach chairs and toys.
"Nice, Clean, Great access to the beach."
We truly enjoyed our stay here. Being so near the beach was a real plus. The apartment had everything we needed, was clean and neat, the beds as comfy as home. It was easy to get to all the touristy places we wanted to see and the managements recommended spots and eateries were very helpful.
The only downside is the small parking area. If you have a small car, no problem, ours is a large SUV. We could park in the overflow spot just not right by our door. It worked.
We love San Diego. we love the beach and look forward to going back again.
"Great family property and just steps from the beach."
This was a great unit for my family and I. We have a 2 year old and an 11 year old. They had everything we needed, the beach and area is really fun to be around and there’s tons of good food near by.
"Summer Vacation"
I loved staying there! The condo is so close to the beach, it was perfect!
"Steps from the beach!"
What a perfect property for a team meeting at Belmont park. We were greeted with open arms in this lovely property, and every single one of our needs was catered. I cannot recommend this property and Kimberly, the property manager enough.
