The home is the upper 2 levels & features 4 outdoor spaces, fire pit table, BBQ on ground level patio & 3 parking spaces! A very rare find for Mission Beach!

The custom outdoor furniture is very comfortable, perfect for gathering with family & friends, enjoying a meal around the fire table & catching up. The detached 2 car garage +1 extra parking space in front of the garage is a great perk. The home is just steps away from the bay, with options to rent kayaks, bikes, paddleboards, surf gear & more!

The other side is exclusive to the separate ground level unit.

The location was great. The rooms were a good size. The parking was very beneficial. The down side was the spiral staircase and the sunken bath tub. Very hard to use for my 87 year old mom and my grand daughter.

Deceptive photos of property
The apartment listing is very deceptive. There is no ocean view as shown in photos. There is a circular metal staircase that isn’t mentioned. Not very functional for a family with children. The apartment was dingy, had soiled blankets on the beds, floors left the soles of our socks black.Location was walking distance to beach and restaurants but that’s the only positive of the place.

Ostend Ct. Mission Bay
Rented a beach house on Ostend Court, Mission Bay. The location was fantastic, brief walk to the bay as well as the beach, restaurants and sourdough bakery. Twenty minute walk to the Belmont Rollercoaster. The accommodations were clean, with plenty of soft bath & beach towels. Very spacious for a beach rental. Especially enjoyed the various patios— comfy seats, and table top fire for roasting marshmallows. A few things to note: the Master is the only peek of ocean view, inside stairs are spiral, the garage is convenient, but super tight for two cars (free parking lot nearby, which guests were able to find spots), the Master shower is narrow with a step down tub, and half of the first floor patio rents to the adjoining neighbor. Overall, very pleased with communication, size and location.

Birthday Getaway
We rented this condo for my daughter's 19th birthday. She invited 4 of her best friends and with my son, his friend and my husband, we all had a wonderful time shopping and enjoying the beach. The huge balcony off the end bedroom was perfect. It was a nice, comfortable weekend. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful condo, with plenty of room for 10 people.
