The rental was great. We loved sitting on the front porch especially enjoying the shade from the large umbrella and the fire pit at night. It was especially nice our dog could enjoy the trip with us and having short walks to the bay and coffee shops. This was one of the cleanest rentals we've ever had. Our Explorer was extremely tight in the parking space, so we utilized street parking nearby (which was easy to find) and alley parking right in front of the rental. We will be back again!

Property was just as described. Clean, well set up and exactly as listed. Great location for what we were looking for. Parking is tough but its par for the area. It would be nice to know about having to move cars for city services several days a week but that is just a suggestion and I am sure renters may not always have a car.

Great location!

Perfect little beach house walking distance to the boardwalk. The only drawback is that what they call a parking spot is not wide enough for a vehicle nor is it easy to park in or access. The only other negative is the VERY loud upstairs either tenant or other VRBO renter. Not sure if the place is carpeted but if it is t it should be!!

Nice place. I may have missed it in the description but know this is only the downstairs unit. The upstairs patio shown in photos is not included. (this was not an issue for us but just wanted others to be aware)Parking at the unit was impossible in our car (and most cars) per the description but we were able to find nearby street parking fairly easily.

Cute house near mission beach

We're very happy with the property. Checked in was very easy with access code to the door. The location is amazing, very close to the beach and the bay area. The house got everything we need, full stock kitchen/washer/dryer and 2 bathrooms are a plus for family of 4. The parking spot is at the back of the house, it is small but we able to fit our Camry in the spot no problem. You can hear the airplane and upstairs neighbor walking but it not bother us. We're very happy with our stay and will definitely come back again!!

It was everything that the picture show plus more. the house was clean We had enough towels for everyone. The outside patio was very pleasant for us just to relax in the evening or afternoon. We did have people staying on the apartment above us you could not even tell that they were there. Ocean beach, food places to go and things to do was all around us. It was a very wonderful day. The only downfall parking

Spring break

Wonderful location and property. Well equipped as described and clean. Carport situation is nothing short of impossible to park even with a compact car that aligns with the measurements provided. Neighbor parked and put out trashcan so it was nearly impossible to get out. Gave up and just did street parking. Rent a golf cart, that will fit the space. If you are sensitive noise above you this unit is not for you. Overall good visit.

Very cozy but very noisey

The house was great! Great location! Parking is horrible! Had to park far ans got a ticket for parking which sucked. The house still had left over stuff from prior guests and the recliners didn't all work. The upstairs people were sooooo loud every time they moved or used the patio it was terribly loud for us below. The house overall is great but having someone stay above you is bad because you literally hear everything!! But great location and cozy home other than that

Noisy with unrealistic parking

We arrive and could not get our car in carport as described by listing. Unloading our belongings in front took us four circles around block due to us blocking road. Later the first day the car across alley moved so we were able to put our car in port. Upon getting up the second morning to go to breakfast, only to see our car was blocked in by neighbors across the alley. It stayed that way until the following day at around 4pm. I quickly removed our car and had to park it 8 blocks away. Afraid of being blocked in again. First night at around 6:30 pm. Upstairs guest returned home and the house begain to shake. The noise was so horrible and loud and didnt stop until 11:30 pm.. We were exhausted the next day.. This noise continued every evening until we packed up 1 day early and went to hotel to get some rest... I have rented through Vrbo several times and have alway had good experiences. I even rented a home 2 blocks from this home with what looked like same layout... NO it wasnt. The listing states 2 bedroom on first floor.. never does it say that all rooms are on first floor. And the upstairs noise will drive you out early.

Great vacation spot

We loved staying here! Plenty of space for a family of 4. One block from the ocean and the bay, stocked with coffee and spices. The market and a few bars are just a few blocks away, and it’s walking distance to Belmont Park and lots if restaurants so we didn’t rent a car and it was easy to get around. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place in a great location

Overall this was a great place to stay - very clean and updated, plenty of space for our group of 3. The other reviews regarding the noise from upstairs are accurate. If you like to sleep in or you are a light sleeper it could be an issue for you, but it wasn't a big deal for us. The location is excellent. The reviews about the parking are also accurate. The space is too small for anything larger than a very compact car, so we had to find street parking which we were able to do. Would definitely stay here again.

Cute Beach Home

We enjoyed our stay in 806 San Luis Rey in Mission Beach. Home is downstairs and smaller, but fit our family of 4 well. We were traveling with the renters of the upstairs unit 808 for our stay, so it was very convenient. I liked the updated decor of the home, and it had everything we needed. Location was great and we spent some mornings and evenings on the front patio watching the surfers and locals walk by. Lighting of the patio at night was very nice. Close to Bay and Beach, would definitely stay here again.

Parking nightmare

We experienced a few issues with our rental experience. First and most importantly, the parking spot allotted to our rental was situated in such a way that it was impossible to use. I read that they recommended only a compact car so I changed my rental car from an SUV to a compact car. But, even with two people at each fender providing guidance, there was no way to fit my compact car into the parking space. This definitely took away from the relaxation of our vacation because I was constantly in search of a parking space on the public streets, trying to maneuver around street sweeping parking restrictions, having to park literally a mile up the road, etc. I even had to set my alarm clock (on vacation!) to be sure to move my car before 8am to avoid street sweeping. Realistically, the parking space would only have been useful for a motorcycle. Meanwhile, it appeared there were two unused garages in the same building that I wasn't allowed to use. Secondly, the home had mice! Thirdly, upon rising on my first morning, I discovered that the coffee pot had a large hole in it and was cracked and was completely unusable. That was annoying enough but it also made me wonder about the cleanliness of the entire place, since someone obviously didn't bother to clean the coffee pot because it would have been impossible not to have discovered the pot had a large hole in it and was cracked. Thankfully, the unit also had a Keurig machine so all was not lost as far as morning coffee went. Again, it was more the fact that no one bothered to attempt to clean the coffee pot that made me wonder how clean the rest of the place was. So, between the parking situation, the mice, and the broken coffee pot and questions of cleanliness, I found myself feeling like I had very much overpaid for my rental. Definitely recommend thinking twice. On the other hand, the only fatal issue was the parking spot. If I wasn't bringing a car, I would consider renting this again. Last thing: if you are noise sensitive, this section of Mission Beach is directly in the take off path of the airport. It wasn't a huge issue for me but I could see someone being annoyed by it.

Great place. The A/C is critical for summer stay, and it being central air is super nice. The parking is tight (to be expected). However, it is made IMPOSSIBLE by the property owner directly opposite the parking location. To fit any car into this space there needs to be space to back up into to straighten the car. The owner, however, went out of her way to make this not possible which was extremely frustrating. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
