Great beach location!

We enjoyed a family spring break beach vacation at this wonderful beach house, which is quite literally steps from the beach. It was well stocked with spices, beach toys, regular toys and games, beach towels and various kitchen utensils. The magic mission beach staff were very responsive and communicative before and during the stay, they also brought over shampoo on the fly for free (shampoo and conditioner oddly isn’t provided). The house is a bit older like most in mission beach but it’s in great shape and has been renovated. We enjoyed bbq dinner on the outdoor patio and checked out some of the other restaurants and cafes nearby. We would definitely stay at this beach house again and highly recommend it! It was a great fit for our family of 4 including two younger kids.

Spring Break Fun

Our family stayed here 4 nights for Spring Break. We loved the location and felt the neighborhood was very safe. Quick walk to the beach and many excellent restaurants in walking distance. The house had all the amenities we needed and we enjoyed grilling out. Very cute outdoor patio area. We hope to be back!

Perfect San Diego getaway

Our multi generational family had a fantastic stay here. The home was as advertised. It was spotless, well supplied and in a superb location just steps from the beach. We had an issue with the refrigerator, but the problem was solved quickly and to our satisfaction. Plenty of beach supplies provided. Relaxing on the patio in the evening and was wonderful. We will be back.

Nice Beach House

Clean, has all the kitchen supplies and beach supplies you need. A short walk to the beach (3 houses away). Beds and pillows very comfortable, extra blankets if you need them. Parking pics are smaller than they appear- we only had one full size explorer and fit fine, could fit two cars if needed, not 3. Would stay again!

Perfect getaway

Our multi-generational family loves ‘our’ beach house! This was our 4th annual stay and we are already planning our next year’s trip. The communication with the management company is top notch. The house has everything you need for a fun beach weekend for a family. Just bring your food and drinks, and bathing suit! You can see the ocean from the front gate, and it’s just a very short walk to get to the sand. It’s a few blocks from Belmont Park and bubblegum park. You and your family can’t go wrong by renting this perfect little beach house!

The perfect staye

If you have young kids and want to stay on the beach, this house is perfect. It’s pretty hard to find a single story home one block from the beach and walking distance to mission beach boardwalk, until we stumbled upon this GEM! The house is perfect for babies, toddlers, kids, or just adults! They have a pack and play, high chair, and plenty of toddler approved plates, cups, spoons, etc. The patio is enclosed so your toddler won’t run off. The house is very well equipped in the kitchen and bedrooms. Lots of extra fans and blankets. They also have plenty of beach towels. The house was super clean. I’m a bit of a clean freak so it was a big deal that I felt comfortable enough to walk barefoot in the home. We used the grill one night which was very easy to use. Love that the family who owns the home have family photos on the wall. The rental company was super accommodating and easy to communicate with. They checked in on us daily via text. I fully intend on renting this home again and working with this property management company. Highly recommend the home and using the MMB for all of your stays in this area.

Fabulous stay in the perfect location

We were in San Diego to celebrate our daughter's college graduation and used the cottage as "home base." It was wonderful! Every amentity needed was provided and the house was cozy and comfortable. Our out-of-state family loved the 30 second walk to the ocean and the outdoor courtyard/patio. The beds were very confortable and there were plenty of extra pillows (love that!) and cozy blankets for the living room. We'd love to come back!

Overall best place we've stayed in Mission Beach

Most importantly, this home was well positioned -very close to the ocean and the bay. Every sand toy, beach chairs, towels, etc were provided. Second, the house was roomy enough to comfortably fit my husband and I, our niece and nephew and their 2 boys, 3 and 8 years old. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked most of our meals. The beds were comfortable! There is a closet full of games! One evening we ate dinner outside and there were even lanterns in the closet. Also very important, there was good parking for 2 SUVs- no maneuvering around poles or squeezing in required. I always look for regular chairs, not high top table and chairs, in the kitchen. This home has them and enough for the 6 of us. AND the home was very clean! We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas week visit and hope to be lucky enough to book this home again.
