Ocean Front View - Steps from the beach!

Relax in this spacious and modern 1 bedroom / 1.5 bathroom recently remodeled condo located at the southern tip of the Mission Beach Peninsula. This 2nd floor condo boast both ocean & jetty channel views from the private west facing balcony. This unit provides plenty of space for small families or couples looking to vacation in style and have way more space than a typical beach front condo or hotel suite. This unit sleeps a maximum of 6 guest (4 adults max) and provides gated parking for 1 car located on the ground level of the complex. This property also provides an outdoor shower for guest to rinse off after a fun day playing in the sand and Pacific Ocean.

If you like to stay active during your beach vacation this unit will provide you with the perfect home base. The famous Mission Beach boardwalk is just a mere 75 yds away from this complex. Once on the boardwalk you can walk, fun, skate board, or ride bikes for miles on end along the ocean as well as Mission Bay. If water sports are more your style you are literally just a five minute walk from the ocean water (and even closer to Mission Point Beach at Mariners Cove, bay side) were you can enjoy, surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, and even kite sailing or surfing. There are also 8-10 city owned volleyball courts just a short walk away to enjoy one of San Diego's beloved beach sports.

If you like the thrills of a roller coaster try Belmont Park for fun, games, and the famous all wood Giant Dipper built in 1925 and recently remodeled. Belmont Park is just up the street at the corner of South Mission Beach Blvd and West Mission Bay Drive. A 10 min bike ride or 20 minute walk on the board walk.

World Class amusement park, Sea World is only a 5 minute drive from the condo. Adults and kids alike will love the live animal exhibits and thrill rides. Stay for the fireworks or take a 5 minute walk from the condo to Mission Point Beach and watch them from there.

Should you be flying in, the San Diego International Airport is only a 20 minute drive from the condo with Uber or Taxi service readily available.

No matter if you want to relax on the beach and read a book, jump in the water and enjoy one of many watersports, or just enjoy the local attractions; you will be glad you chose this Ocean Front Gem as your accommodations and will want to return every year if not multiple times per year!
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

FANTASTIC Views

The reviews sold me on this property & they're 100% correct! The check in process was very simple. Instructions & house info was clear but thorough. Very homelike & modern decor. The view was my favorite part, especially at sunset. We will likely choose to stay again next year, if available.

A Beachy Interlude

We are most fortunate to live in Palm Springs as there is magic to the desert, mountains, and evening skies. Summers are hot so trips away are a good break when the heat lasts for a few months as it is this year. We escaped for long weekend to this charming home on Misson Beach in San Diego. The host was perfect as was his property. Swimming, bicycling and exploring great local food was what we wanted and what was delivered We wanted to stay longer but had obligations at home but will absolutely soon head back to the beach. Thank you Joel

SDSU MOVE IN DAY--RETURNING HOME AS EMPTY NESTERS!

This condo made our bitter-sweet move in at SDSU for our youngest child into an actual vacation. The location was perfect and the views were awesome. We loved being just 15 minutes from SDSU which made it easy to help our son move into his dorm. This location had everything we needed in terms of spectacular views, a mere minute walk to feeling the sand beneath our feet on the beach and a very comfortable interior. The location felt very private, yet everything we needed was within walking distance. Inside the condo, there was everything, from a Keurig, most comfortable mattress, to beach towels, chairs and boogie boards! The balcony was huge and the views of the ocean sunsets and beautiful sailboats and yachts going by were incredible. We had a great time!!

Perfect location and great accommodations!

This property couldn't have been any more perfect for our stay! It is well-maintained with all the necessities. There were extra blankets, pillows, beach towels, and even beach chairs/toys. The onsite parking was extremely helpful. The views are gorgeous- it overlooks the inlet in to the Mission Bay. In less than 5 minute walk you can have your toes in the Pacific Ocean and is close to a lifeguard stand. We definitely would recommend and hope to be back!

Great accomodations

This is a beautiful condo and a great location. It looks onto the Bay side of the ocean not the beach side, but we found it interesting watching the fishing boats and kayakers going in and out of the bay. It is just a few steps from the actual beach, but a little bit of a walk to actually get to the waves. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone

Perfect vacation spot

Joel’s condo was the perfect home base for our family vacation to San Diego. Great beach access and the garage parking space made it easy travel throughout the area via rental car. Inside: Very clean, plenty of space for our family of 3, comfortable beds, good linens, stocked kitchen, washer-dryer meant we could pack less and weren’t swamped with laundry when we got home. Outside: Beautiful patio view, quick walk to the beach, loved the watching the boats traveling in the channel and the dogs across the water on Dog Beach! Would absolutely stay here again!

VRBO Mission Beach

Nice neighborhood at the south end of Mission Beach. Quieter here although you can walk to the busier parts easily when you want to. Apartment is nicely decorated and furnished. View of the jetty entrance to Mission Bay and the ocean beyond. Just walk around the corner and you're on the beach. Good place to say in the Mission Beach/Pacific Beach area.

Great Beach Location!!!

The hosts were amazing. Location is fantastic. The beach is so close and beautiful. An easy and quick walk from the property. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching the boats go by and the seals and pelicans fishing in the jetty. Point Loma was a highlight as was Torrey Pines. Beautiful views everywhere you looked. One note on the beaches in San Diego…watch out for the sting rays! Didn’t know you’re supposed to do the “sting ray shuffle” with your feet so they will move away from you. Our son stepped on one and got a pretty nasty sting.

Nice Condo in Great Location

This is a very clean and well-appointed condo in a nice location. It is well-stocked and well-maintained. The view over the channel connecting Mission Bay to the ocean is very nice and provides lots of opportunity to watch boats and birds from the balcony. The condo includes a dedicated parking space, which is wonderful since many condos in the area have only street parking (which is in very short supply). The check-in and check-out processes were well-defined and painless. The reason that we did not give a 5 star rating was due to noise coming from the condo above this one. The design of the building is such that heavy footsteps in the upstairs condo are quite evident in this condo. Unfortunately, we had a family above us during the first couple of days our stay whose kids ran back and forth constantly at all hours (we heard them at 5:30 am and at 11 pm). We notified our condo owners and they addressed the situation quickly by contacting the owner of the condo above. We were told that the renters above were checking out that day, so the problem should be resolved. Unfortunately, the new renters also had energetic kids and were also quite loud. The situation improved, but loud footsteps from above were still an everyday experience. I don't fault the owners of this condo at all - they took quick action to address our concerns. The issue is with the design of the building - if the condo above is occupied, you will hear footsteps and they may be quite loud.
