Beautiful Vacation Home - Fun LocationOur family with three adult couples loved staying at this rental. Bedrooms with bathrooms on each floor. Nice kitchen, lots of table space. Really cute living room. Staying so close to Mission Beach is so fun! Just a few steps and you’re at the beach boardwalk or at some fun restaurant. Having a garage is really helpful. We used the host’s beach chairs too.

Great Location!
The house was great, very close to the beach and restaurants. The house fit our family of 6 adults very comfortably. There were lots of beach amenities in the garage, like chairs, boogie boards, balls, and buckets with sand toys. The kitchen was stocked so we could cook some meals. The only negative were the floors. The carpets needed to be cleaned (mostly the stairs) and the wood floors were pretty dirty. Other than that, it was wonderful.

Great location
The location was perfect; really close to the beach and restaurants. We stayed in April, so the temperatures were perfect that we didn't need air or heat. The house size was great for my husband and me, my parents and adult son. I can't speak for the noise, as it wasn't high season, but we all slept comfortably on a Friday night - we were close to bars and restaurants, but didn't hear much. It is high density living, so no doubt you will hear your neighbors, this did not bother us at all. We knew this going in. We were looking for a beach getaway, and this was location was perfect.

Perfect Getaway
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The 3rd floor deck was absolutely amazing - we enjoyed watching the sunset each day. The closeness to the beach and restaurants was great - walked everywhere. Utilized the beach accessories as well and having a two car garage couldn't have been better. Thank you - we will definitely come again!!

I hesitate to leave a good review because it will make this unit popular. Making it harder to find it available for us the next time. That being said, we were impressed with the cleanliness, and the attention to detail oriented amenities. Location is great with distance to the beach and food options available along Mission Blvd. We would definitely book this unit again.

Lovely Stay in Mission Beach
The house was perfect for 6 of us for a girl's weekend in SD. The rooftop patio was dreamy in the morning to sit out with coffee. The location could not have been better, 1 min walk to the beach and a 15 min uber to downtown. I would say it would be a tight squeeze for more than 6 people (beds wise) but the house was lovely, clean and comfortable. Thank you very much!

Great Location, Clean Home
We enjoyed staying in this home. It was very clean and it was very close to the beach, restaurants and a convenience store, all walking distance. We didn’t have to drive anywhere once we got to this home. When some of us got there, they noticed something wrong with the blinds in the bottom floor and once they called Bluewater, they immediately sent someone to repair it. They are very responsive. The only thing that could have made our stay better was if we were allowed to use the beach equipment which were in the photo in the garage when we booked. Once we booked our stay, and were given the house rules which said that the beach equipment are only to be used by the owners of the home. I called to clarify prior to going and was told that it is true that we cannot use the beach equipment so we brought our own which was an inconvenience. When we were about to check out, I noticed a sign in the garage saying that the beach equipment are there for guests to use but sand had to be rinsed off these after using. I didn’t bother to call and ask about this since we were already leaving and we brought our own beach stuff anyway. Overall, it was a very good experience. I would go back here again if given the chance to. Our family loved our stay here.
