We had a great stay! Loved that it was close to both the ocean and the beach. Magical Mission Beach left some great recommendations. The home is quite old and it shows but the beds and couch were comfy. Wifi wasn’t the greatest if you’re trying to use a streaming service but with lots to do in the area you shouldn’t need it.

This was a perfect getaway ! The location was exactly where we wanted to be and the home was clean and cozy. Having the washer and dryer was a huge bonus also !

Everything about the rental was lovely. The view was gorgeous, we could see the ocean from the patio, and everything was super walkable. The only complaint was the garage. It's obvious parking is a huge amenity in the area, so we were very gracious to have it. It was definitely tight though!

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.

Amazing location and super responsive hosts!! The house has everything you need for a fun trip to the beach! Parking is tight but there is a dedicated space which we appreciated. We had a slight issue and the hosts responded and fixed it right away. Perfect spot for a family vacation!

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.

The location is great, almost on the beach/boardwalk just one street back. The place was very clean and well equiped and check in was easy.

Great location near the beach and an easy walk to shops and restaurants in Pacific Beach. Staff was very prompt in responding to a couple of minor maintenance issues while we were there.

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.

Stop your search now, book this beautiful beach house! Kimberly was super responsive to all my questions before arrival and the attention to detail inside the home was much appreciated. The beach was 20 steps away from the front door and the outdoor patio with the picnic table was the cherry on top! We will absolutely be back :)

House was exactly as described. Steps from the beach which was super nice to be able to go back and forth if needed. Stores, food, and nightlife were all within walking distance so no need to drive anywhere. Response time from the host was great and the extra notifications about things going on around us was helpful.

Our hosts Kimberly and Mike were extremely responsive with communication. Location was great, we were 4 steps from the sand. Place was neat and clean and our host even thought to supply fresh cold water via water-cooler! They were very helpful with ideas and special events happening locally. We would stay there again!
