Beautiful spot right on the boardwalk/ beach. The kitchen was loaded with utensils/ pots/ pans/ etc. and was great for cooking for the family.

We absolutely loved our stay at this stunning oceanfront condo in Mission Beach! From the moment we walked in, the panoramic views of the beach and ocean took our breath away.

The home was thoughtfully equipped inside and out. The beds were very comfortable, and the couch was perfect for lounging while soaking in the view. There were also plenty of beach toys and games that kept the kids entertained, which was a great bonus.

Garage parking was a major perk—especially in this area where it can be tough to find a spot.

We loved the location, making it easy to walk to restaurants for dinner.

If you're looking for a beachfront stay in San Diego, this is the place. Highly recommend! Honestly, our only complaint is that we loved it so much we didn’t want to leave—and often cut activities short just to get back and enjoy the condo.

My family and I stayed here for Spring Break and it was wonderful! We loved being able to wake up and open the doors to hear the waves. The management team was kind and responsive. The location is great; from people watching on the strand to walking to breakfast. We loved our stay!

Nice place, right on the beach and walking distance to Belmont Park area. Plus its only a short drive to Sea World & San Diego Zoo. And everything you could need/want is close. Management was also fantastic working with us on some last minute changes!

Our family of 4 had an awesome time at this location. The house was fully stocked with enough items needed and it was super clean. The location can’t be beat! We walked every day to get coffee and food. We rented bikes and ride along the boardwalk. The house is close to so much but nice and quiet at night. It was lovely to hear the ocean waves as we went to sleep. We used the included beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, and washer and dryer - super helpful! We’ve stayed in oceanfront properties many times in MB/SD/Carlsbad and this is now one of our favorite spots!

Magical - there's nothing like waking up to a spectacular ocean view! We loved that we can walk right to the ocean or take a walk along the ocean front walk. People watching was also fun! It was perfect for a family of four. Parking in the garage was a huge bonus. We will definitely stay here again.

Wow what a wonderful staycation we had with our family over the weekend. I am definitely going to be coming back here the beautiful ocean views, and the surroundings was exactly what the doctor ordered. I especially loved all the extra toys for the sand and boogie boards and bikes that they provided as well as the garage parking was such a huge blessing, as well as an extra parking space right outside the house. This could not have gone better here. The staff were so amazing!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the San Diego condo hosted by Magical Mission, and it was truly a magical experience. The condo was impeccably clean, making me feel comfortable and at home from the moment I stepped in.

The amenities provided were top-notch, exceeding my expectations. From the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy living space, every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure a delightful stay.

The location of the condo is unbeatable - situated in a prime spot with breathtaking views that are truly priceless. Waking up to such a magnificent sight every morning made my stay even more special.

I can confidently say that every penny spent on this condo was worth it. I highly recommend this San Diego condo hosted by Magical Mission for anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and convenience during their stay in this beautiful city.

Airbnb Review:

I had an amazing stay at Magical Mission Beach's oceanfront condo in San Diego! The condo was incredibly clean and modern, exceeding my expectations. It was also very well stocked with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

The location was unbeatable - right in Mission Beach with beautiful ocean views and stunning sunsets. There was so much to do in the area, and I felt safe exploring the neighborhood. The best part was definitely the deck, where I could sit and people-watch while enjoying the ocean breeze.

I highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in San Diego. Thank you, Magical Mission Beach, for a wonderful experience!

Great location and great hosts. Right on the boardwalk so if you want peace and quiet, it might not be the location for you. But great views, excellent location, stuff to do all around, great hosts. Ground floor is a bit noisy with neighbors above but nothing crazy. Well worth it.

Wonderful place right on the beach, and on the esplanade where you can go for a morning jog. The host was wonderful and helpful. The only criticism was the higher than usual cleaning requirements asked of us- for example, requiring all dishes to be done and put away. Other than this kind of thing, a great place to stay.

The condo itself is lovely, very comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen, garage for extra storage..and everything you could need within walkig distance. (We loved the Ceviche and Beer nearby, great prices, great ceviche and tacos!:) Would Love to stay here again!
