3bed 2bath beach cottage Steps to the Sand in MB

Summary:
Fully stocked 3 bed, 2 bath apartment just steps from the sand in Mission Beach. Perfect for a San Diego Beach vacation with all the amenities. King bed and TV in one room, queen beds in the other 2 bedrooms. Large kitchen with cooking essentials and a big living room with a comfortable sofa bed. Sunny outside patio with table, oversized umbrella, outdoor seating and large BBQ. Propane provided. Located in the heart of MB, walking distance to restaurants, bars, and both the beach and bay.

The Space:
This charming beach bungalow on the ground floor has been upgraded with high-quality amenities, including renovated bathrooms and kitchen, a comfortable king-sized bed with a smart 43-inch TV in one of the rooms, and queen-sized beds in the other rooms. One of the queen-sized bedrooms also features a smart 43-inch TV. The spacious living room comes equipped with a large smart TV and a cozy pull-out sofa bed. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials needed to prepare a gourmet meal. Located just 25 yards from the bay side of Mission Beach and 100 yards from the Mission Beach Boardwalk on the Pacific Ocean, this cozy home offers the perfect getaway for a comfortable stay.

We provide guests with high-quality hotel towels, beach towels, a hair dryer, an iron, and an ironing board, as well as shampoo, conditioner, and soap. High-speed internet and a designated parking spot for a small to medium-sized car are also included. The apartment comfortably accommodates six guests, and a high-quality sofa bed in the living room offers an additional sleeping option.

Why stay at a hotel when you can enjoy the comfort of a home in a friendly neighborhood and vacation like a local? This home is also pet-friendly (pending approval), but only small to medium-sized dogs will be considered. A non-refundable pet fee of $150 will be charged if extra cleaning is required due to the pet's urine, soil stains, or excessive hair or sand.

We offer keyless digital entry and private access to your beach cottage, with a simple 4-digit passcode to remember. The apartment also features a large patio with an outdoor table seating eight, an outdoor sofa with a fire pit, and a BBQ for guests to cook their own meals. A full propane tank is provided, but if another one is needed, guests can just let us know. We also offer boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas and sand toys for guests to use. These items are left by other guests and there could be limited supply.

The apartment includes a small garage that can fit a small to medium-sized car. The garage also has its own private washer and dryer for guests' convenience. However, if guests prefer, there is a laundromat within walking distance that offers drop-off service for a weight-based fee. Guests can drop off their laundry in the morning, and it will be ready and neatly folded by the end of the day. The beach cottage is thoroughly cleaned between each stay. However, if guests wish to have their linens changed and the home cleaned during their stay, we can arrange for a housekeeper to come for an additional charge of $175. Please give us at least one day's notice to schedule this service.

For extra parking, public parking is available nearby on the Bay Side, and there may be additional parking available on El Carmel Point. For guests' safety, there are rig cameras (recording devices) located outside the units on the north/east side of the balcony, recording 24/7. This is to ensure the safety of guests and others.

Our garage can accommodate a car that is small to medium in size, but we recommend walking around MB or using a ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft. The restaurants, bars, and shops are all conveniently located within walking distance of the apartment.

The Neighborhood:
Mission Beach is San Diego's classic boardwalk beach town with over five miles of waterfront boardwalk, trendy shops, restaurants and Belmont Park, a beachfront amusement park featuring the historic Giant Dipper Roller Coaster, miniature golf, bumper cars, rock climbing and an arcade. Mission Beach is just a few minutes to Sea World, 15-20 minutes to The San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and San Diego International Airport (SAN), and downtown San Diego. Bayside Bungalow is located in Central Mission Beach on the bayside of Mission Blvd. The Bay is located about 25 yards from this home and the ocean is right across the street about 100 yards.

This home is located in a high-density neighborhood and is only suitable for quieter groups. There is a no tolerance policy for excessive noise, occupancy, parties, or smoking at this apartment and fines will be issued for violating these rules.

The Beach, boardwalk, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, playgrounds, bike rentals are all within walking distance. I would also recommend parking your car and using UBER/Lyft to get around or just walk as everything you need is within walking distance from this unit. We do have a small One car Garage that fits a small/medium car.
We have a partner company that rents Golf carts and gets them delivered/Picked up to the house for free.

Please observe quiet hours after 10 pm, and be sure to wash the sand from your feet before entering the apartments. We have a hose and buckets available for your use. During the turnover of the apartments, the host will use both washer/dryers in both garages, so they won't be available for guest use until all cleaning has been completed. Typically, this occurs from 11 am to 4 pm on turnover days.

House was conveniently located close to the ocean and bay. Parking garage was impossible to get into but there’s a parking lot a block away so that made up for it. Outdoor patio was great way to hangout, grill, have a glass of wine and make smores. Manager was responsive. Would stay here again

Amazing!

My children and I stayed here for a few days. It is steps away from Mission Beach. The cottage had everything you would need for your stay. There is ample room for a family. It was quiet even during the busy weekend. If you drive a large vehicle, you will need to park on the street or in the bay parking area as the garage is small. I would highly recommend this listing to anyone!

Ocean view/bayview can't decide? This place has both!!!!

My husband and I booked this place with the intention of meeting up with our sons who live there and some friends for a nice Mother's Day BBQ and hangout, I am an avid cook and found the kitchen to be well stocked and other than having to find things, the knives were sharp, there were plenty of plates, glassware and utensils to suit our needs for this special holiday! The host was super responsive and quick to reply to my questions. There is plenty of parking just down the street from the house so don't worry that your vehicle won't fit in the garage (Everything is small in Mission beach) Having the outdoor patio with a big table and fire table was a huge plus for us too, we had enough room to eat and then play games and you could see the ocean looking one way and the bay the other. BTW I would also highly recommend PB golf Cart rentals (Ask for Aiden) which are pictured in the house photos, we had a 6 seater golf cart that perfectly fit in the garage and was a total blast touring the area. Will definitely be back!!!

Close to water

The property was perfectly cozy! 3bedrooms and two bath and the closest I’ve ever been to the boardwalk and bay. Literally just steps to either side. Perfect for our family and friends to stay over a couple of the outlets didn’t work properly but overall one of the best experiences I’ve had. Also, the property is fully stocked with everything you could need. We brought plenty of beach and kitchen supplies, but there was no need to pull them out.

Great location

Short stroll to the beach or the bay. No view of water but also not heavy traffic walking by either if you were on the boardwalk. Place was very clean. We had a hard time getting the TV to work but didn't really want to watch anyways. The biggest drawback was the parking, one very tight garage then good luck find a spot to park another car. Would stay here again if we can afford another trip.
