Ben's Beach Bungalow 3, Ocean View Mission Beach 1BR

Summary:

Just steps to the sand, this property is beachside of Mission Blvd and has recently been completely updated to provide you with the feel of luxury. It has a separate dining area and a full kitchen, so you always have the option of dining in or experiencing the vast array of PB restaurants and bars. But the highlight of this unit is the full ocean view from the bedroom...not many units in Mission Beach can boast this view!



The Space:

This is a second floor unit. Enter into an open L-shaped living room with a dining nook off the updated kitchen. Updated plank flooring and tile in the kitchen and bathrooms which is ideal for the beach. Smart TV with cable to meet all your needs. Kitchen is fully appointed (gas stove, oven, microwave, blender, coffee maker, toaster, and all the things to use them). Updated step in shower with lots of natural light in the bathroom. Ikea sofa sleeper in the living room converts into an over-sized full bed. Luxurious queen in the bedroom....wake up to the sights and sounds of the Pacific Ocean literally 100 steps from your window.



The Neighborhood:

Within walking distance of all Mission Beach has to offer, this charming unit is both centrally and conveniently located, yet offers the quiet comfort most look for in a vacation getaway. Best part of this location in north Mission is that you are a quick jaunt to all the nightlife, cafes and restaurants of Pacific Beach but you get to come home to the quiet of north Mission Beach.



Getting Around:

We provide a single covered parking space. It is accessed off the alley and as such can be a tight fit (as with about 90% of the parking spaces at the beach). We recommend a small- to mid-sized car to make it easier to park. We also recommend backing into the spot as that makes it easier to get in and pull out. There is free street parking available, but due to the high volume of beach-goers, don't count on parking nearby. Also be sure to read parking signs!

Looking for a unique way to get around Mission/ Pacific Beach during your stay? We've partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!



Other Things to Note:

This is "typical" beach parking so we do not recommend large cars. The spots will not accommodate anything more than a mid-size car or SUV.



For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.



We only offer the air conditioning between May and September



Interaction with Guests:

Check-in is virtual, as you'll be provided with a digital Guest Portal and a personalized door code. Vacation Rentals by Aaron is a full-service property management company, and will be available 24-7 in case you need anything during your stay.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The bungalow was simple and clean. It is in a really great location. My daughter and I walked to multiple dinners, coffees, and the store. The beach is only steps away. And you can see the ocean from the bed, which was a special treat!

Beach property 1/2 block from beach / boardwalk

I loved being almost next to the beach in a quiet neighborhood where I could hear the waves crashing at night as I fell asleep. I would recommend reading all the reviews which cover everything about the unit. I rated it a 4 because it is not quite as pristine as the pictures show (the unit itself is very clean) especially the deck outside the door, and also because the parking was really challenging (as expected, but still a hassle) and the couch needs replacing. But if you accept these items before booking, you will love it.

Excellent location

The location was amazing and the view from the bed was great! The place had all the necessitates. Interactions with the host were prompt and friendly. They also provided an option for us to have groceries delivered and stocked before we arrived! I would highly recommend this place and will look for properties to stay with this host again! The only thing i would recommend is a makeup mirror or another mirror in the bathroom that's easier to reach for short people!

Great gem - stay four houses away from the Pacific

This is a very quiet apartment a block from the ocean, though in a very lively neighborhood. Best of both worlds. It offers all amenities you could wish for, including all kinds of beach gear (except for a washer). It is very clean, and nicely furnished, so you immediately feel at home. I also worked part-time, which went very well. Communication with Aaron is very efficient - he is extremely responsive and solves whatever minor issues there might be. I even got coffee restocked promptly, when I had asked where to buy.

Nice beach getaway

Really enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable bed. Easy access to the beach. Well equipped kitchen. Parking space is very very small (as described in the property description) …but just enough for our Toyota Camry. All the other vacation rental parking this close to the beach was the same though. Communication with property management was excellent. Prompt response with questions I had. I would absolutely stay here again. :)

Birdie at the Beach

Loved the proximity to the ocean and could hear the sound through open windows. Kitchen well equipped, bed comfortable and lots of towels. Boogie boards, sand chairs, beach towels provided. Parking was not usable - garbage cans blocking turn in and just too narrow to allow use. Street parking difficult especially on Sunday.

Perfect home base on the beach!

This was the perfect home base for a beach vacation! There were so many thoughtful details that made it a delightful experience from start to finish! Our host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed in such a prompt, organized, and professional fashion! Really appreciated the well-equipped bathroom and kitchen setups, as well as the closet full of beach gear! We flew in and couldn't bring much with us, so this was so nice!!! And the location!!! It doesn't get any better than this! Literally a minute walk to the beach, and a beautiful view of it from the bedroom! The outdoor faucet for rinsing off sand was also super handy! Lastly, if any ladies are experiencing their "shark week" during their stay, I cannot emphasize how much having a really nice bathroom so close to the beach really is a lifesaver!

Great communicating management team, great location you can walk to everything and value wise 5+. However, the assigned paking space sucks big time! If you rent this property you need to drive a compact or small four door automobile to get it in the spot.
