Family visit at the cottage.

What a lovely cottage. It's truly one of the first places I've stayed at where the description matched the experience. I'm from New England so I really can appreciate the antique rustic beach charm paired with modern necessities. It was lovely. Property manager was very present and communicable. We had an issue with the oven and she was right on it with a repair man. Location was nice. Only thing that stinks but was mentioned in other reviews is the parking. Here's the deal. If you can get a small rental car you can park in the garage. My SUV was just a little too long. So we had to park on the street which really isn't a big deal but I struggled to find the area free parking lots. Thankfully we never had to use those. We were able to find parking in front of or near the house every time we came back. I was in town with my mother and my daughter to visit my son and his wife who are in the navy and live on base housing. We were 22 minutes away from them but it's mostly freeway driving so it feels like a very short distance. 20 minutes or so from the zoo. We did not realize we were 1.5 hours from Disneyland so we took an impromptu visit there. Old town was neat didn't make it through half of it so will need to return. But that was 14 minutes away. You really are right near the bay. Only feet away. Or a couple minute walk to the ocean side. We will definitely stay here again or right next door. Similar style. Thanks for a great stay.

Great place to stay

This was a fantastic place to stay for our family of four. The bay was on the one side only a few steps away, and the beach was on the other side. The only “downside” is parking. There is a small garage, but our suv would not fit so we had to park on the street, which was fine but when the street sweepers came we had to move and then lost our spot. Minor detail, still a 5/5, would totally go back again.

Perfect Beach Bungalow

This was a beautifully refinished house inside which was perfect for the four of us. Very close to both Mission Bay and the ocean. The traffic noise was the only negative thing but not bad. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice Getaway

We were visiting friends in San Diego recently and wanted to stay in the Mission Beach area. The cottage fit our needs well! So close to both the Bay and ocean beaches, as well as plenty of great dining options. The garage is small, but we were able to get our Jeep Grand Cherokee inside so had onsite parking, which was a plus. Very nicely appointed cottage with ample kitchen space, a nice sitting area, a cozy deck and two comfy beds. The only "downside" were the occassional morning deliveries to the nearby resort loading dock, otherwise a great stay and very recommended! Definitely would stay there again!

Perfect location, so close to such great restaurants, private and quiet for being on main road, so amazingly close to the beach and loved the decor! Having a garage to park was a great perk as well. I would definitely recommend staying at Molly's. You will love it!

Beachy Cottage (Mission Beach)

Great location. Nice, historic (1930s I think) property near the beach- be prepared for some wear and tear ( bathroom in particular) which we’d expected given the vintage). Private patio area a bonus and very lovely. Beach toys were also much appreciated. Private garage is a godsend in Mission Beach. Beware that garage is small as the owners advertised. We downgraded the rental to a Nissan Versa which just fit with inches to spare, so nothing bigger than this model. Would stay again.

Our stay at cottage in Mission Beach

Overall Shaz's place was nice, close to beach & bay, but beware on busy street with loud trucks esp early in the morning. One night had car alarm going off all night long, in car parked on street. Had to use large floor fans to block out noise when sleeping. I was disappointed when sent 2 texts to Shaz complaining that needed a new shower liner, 1 in there was pretty disgusting with mold & also shower floor very slippery when soapy, almost fell 1st day, had requested a shower mat; but never got any response to my text. So we made do, but would have appreciated response to text. She did respond to my text when garage door off track & not opening or closing, but did have my husband talk me through to get it back on track. We also did not have a spatula, only large metal one for grill that was difficult to cook eggs in frying pan. But figured again would make do since never addressed other issues. Overall beds were very comfy & loved close proximity to restaurants & beach. But a beach wagon & cooler would have made walk to beach a little easier. Patio was great with privacy, but unfortunately we were there during excessive heat wave, so unable to enjoy as much as wanted to. Washer & dryer easy access in garage, but beware garage is as small as reported.

Mission Beach Oasis

We had a perfect stay at this lovely beach cottage. My husband and l were visiting my son who is stationed at the Navel Base. This was a perfect spot . Close to both bay and ocean beaches less than a 5 minute walk. You can tell that who ever purchased furniture , bedding and kitchen supplies bought high-quality products and not the usual cheap items you some times find in a rental. The outdoor was great lots of greenery and a privacy fence do you could drink your coffee in your pj's. Managmest response also top notch. Can'not say enough great things about this property.
