This property is SUPER close to the beach. You literally head out the back door and take two turns and your feet are in the sand. We had eight guests stay on property. Three couples and two singles. The singles had their own room, but it's a bunk bed. The downstairs bunk room is probably better suited for kids, but we made it work. There is a restaurant next door, but that didn't bother us at all. The properties are also close together, but that's what you get when you want to be close to the beach. The best part about this rental was the free beach rental equipment. My husband and his friends were able to sure, and then traded their surfboards in later that day for bicycles. They will also allow you to keep the bikes until you want to return them. All eight of us rode bikes everywhere! We loved the property and had a blast!

Excellent Location

We really enjoyed our stay and found the location was perfect. Everything is very close by in walking distance and even though it was backed up to a restaurant, it was very quiet and peaceful. The place was also very clean and the communication with the host was excellent. We had about 5 adults and 3 kids with us and it was plenty comfortable. I would definately stay here again.

We had a fantastic family reunion stay in San Diego this week at the Bluewater Island Sands Condo, it had 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and accommodated our group well. It was close to the Belmont Amusement Park and lots of restaurants were in walking distance. Also all rentals at the Mission Beach Rentals @ Belmont were included at no extra charge. That was a nice bonus I didn't even know about until we got there. Overall Bluewater Vacation Homes did a great job to meet our expectations!

Great place, trust reviews

The place itself is, overall, great. Clean, spacious, great location steps from beach, and the property managers are responsive. The only caveat I will give is trust the reviews and the listing - parking is as difficult as they say, especially if the other side of the bay is in use. This was made very clear to us beforehand.There is also a good amount of homeless activity in the area. If you're not comfortable with this, you may want to look elsewhere.All in all, if you have a small (or no) car and want to be close to the beach, this property is a good option.

Great location and overall experience

The property was in great condition and was in a great location. The host was responsive to all our questions as we prepared for our trip. The host was very transparent in how tight the parking situation would be. It truly was tough to get in and out of the parking spots due to the alley and dumpsters being so narrow. Once you are in the spots, two cars fit well. It's just getting in and out of the spots that is challenging. The guests at the property next to us actually hit and damaged our car, that is how tight it is. We had 7 people and there was plenty of room and bathrooms. The AC in each room worked well. Hard to find AC and 2 parking spots, so it was a win!

Great location between ocean and bay

Loved being able to walk to ocean or bay with small kids. They loved the full size bunk beds. Was nice to have the air conditioning units. Two were not working when we arrived but they came and fixed them the next day per request. This area is busy, some day and night time noises. I am a light sleeper, maybe once a night something woke me. However we were there during spring break and I think most of the loudness at night was attributed to the neighbors above us that were up late. Even said, noise levels were tolerable. Only downside to this rental is the parking. If large vehicles are parked on either side it is very difficult to get in and out of the parking spots. Three different times when we arrived back at the rental someone was in our side of the garage. Twice it was the people in the upstairs unit and once it was the cleaning crew. If no one is staying in the upstairs rental it is super easy to park in the spots in the garage. If you want care free relaxing parking this renal may not be for you. All in all we had a great family vacation here.

Location was ideal. However, parking was not the best. We could not fit both vehicles into carport

House was ideal. Location of home was great. However, the parking area face the back of the shops where the trash bins were placed. Parking was not the best. We could only fit one car into the carport. Had to look for space on the street and move it daily for due to street cleaning days. I recommend a small vehicle for parking, even with that the 2nd vehicle may still have an issue parking. Overall, the house was nice and clean and comfortable.

Prime location with as much privacy as wanted.

This was a great experience we loved the welcoming gifts. We fell in love with this location as we could hear the life of the city and beach when we wanted. But also had privacy when we needed. Everything was within walking distance or nearby we in hindsight shouldn't have rented a car.
