About this property

Steps to the water on both sides!!

Very small (under 400 sq ft) & cozy 1 bedroom located in the heart of San Diego's most famous beach community. Just steps to Mission Bay, the beach, the Boardwalk and Belmont Park, Only 1.5 blocks to the beach, and only two doors from the Bay! Only has 1 queen bed and a very small sofa for a small child.

Please note, this is literally the center of Mission Beach, less than a block from Belmont Park, which is great, but expect a lot of people, noise and traffic congestion especially during spring & summer.

This home is a tastefully designed one-bedroom with a full kitchen that can sleep three. Our beach apt features a queen-sized bed and couch. The kitchen is equipped for cooking, and amenities include free Wi-Fi, and Apple TV. Unfortunately there is NO PARKING.

Photos were taken in 2015. Please expect normal wear and tear over that time period. Furniture and furnishings may be different than pictured as items are replaced and updated.

Host/Property Manager both very nice and accommodating. We were a little thrown off with no AC. It was ok but we would have liked to have air. The location was great. Easy to walk to the beach and lots going on in the area.

Mission Beach 2025

The Mango Tango is a diamond in the rough. Centrally located in the heart of Mission Beach one would think noise and traffic. Quite the opposite. The property was clean, quiet and has all things necessary for a short or long term stay for one person, a couple, or a small family!

A bad experience got worse!

The VRBO property at Mission Beach was a BIG disappointment! It was cold when we arrived and the power went out early the next morning when trying to usebthe drip coffee-maker. I attempted to contact the owner without success so we left!

Mission Beach Condo

Great location for the money. Literally one block to the sands and ocean. One short block to Belmont Park with tons of rides. Less than a block to the shops and restaurants and a Starbucks Nextdoor! Lol. Mission Bay was right across the street and has a little park. The condo itself was small but very cute with a cute patio, very clean. Only downside is no parking which the information said, and no ocean views, but for the money that was fine because it was so close to everything. The neighbors were kind and allowed me to park in an open space in front of the condo, so helpful. The boardwalk is right there with bike, board and skate rentals. I chose to rent a bike. My advice is to ride over by the bay there is a beautiful path there that goes like 12 miles at least around that area with beaches too. There were a lot of people on the boardwalk and hard to ride. We really enjoyed our stay there and enjoyed being so close to the beach. The property manager was very kind and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent for enjoying the beach

The property was super cute and functional for the size, perfect place to walk to Belmont park and the surrounding area with your loved one. Parking does suck but doable with a little patience. It's definitely a bustling corner but once it was Netflix & chill time, you couldn't hear the nightlife. We would absolutely stay again!

Just what we wanted!

This place was a perfect location for us to walk anywhere we needed, bike rentals next door that we took all the way up to La Jolla. So many bars/restaurants and cool places to go. San Diego zoo not a far cab ride either. We loved it!! Definitely coming back.

Not really as advertised

We didn’t end up staying. After checking in, there was an interesting smell that we didn’t like. The TV remote didn’t really work and there were only a couple of channels. All of that coupled with the horrible parking situation and the questionable neighborhood made it so we didn’t want to stay, so we left after a couple of hours after check-in.

Stayed here one week. Clean, very nice accommodations. I could hear the neighbors upstairs walking around and opening doors while I was trying to sleep but I turned on white noise and it tuned them out well. I would recommend staying here.
