Gorgeous Cottage... The Perfect place to be at the Beach.

INTERIOR DETAILS

This cozy cottage has a casual, beachy feel with vintage touches throughout. The original wooden floors and open layout give the home plenty of character, while the large kitchen makes it easy to gather for meals.

The kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a freestanding island, along with all the basics you’ll need to cook most meals at home.

The lounge is open and relaxed, with slipcovered sofa and armchairs, chandeliers for a touch of charm, a freestanding gas fireplace, and a Smart TV with YouTubeTV included.

Each of the two bedrooms features a queen bed with soft linens and down bedding to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep.

The bathroom, located between the bedrooms, has a vintage-style vanity, tub/shower combo, and simple tile finishes.

Exterior Details
A private wooden deck and surrounding palm trees create a laid-back outdoor space. The deck has a dining table with seating for six, umbrella for shade, barbecue patio, and ambient lighting for evenings outside.

This is a relaxed, lived-in beach cottage. Perfect for guests who appreciate comfort, charm, and an easygoing coastal vibe.

The cottage is located in the ideal location, one house away from the bay and a 2 min walk to the ocean. Close to many restaurants, bars, shopping but private enough to have your own space.


The property has parking for one small vehicle in a free standing garage. Free street parking is generally available 1-4 blocks from the property if you have a second car or if your car does not fit in the garage. There are maps in the information binder that can help you find parking.

Please note that on holidays and summer weekends, parking is difficult and you may have to park 5-8 blocks away if your car doesn't fit in the garage.

Everyone wants to be at the beach! :)

Air Conditioning is mini-split unit located in the main living area. With the use of fans, it keeps the cottage cool most of the year. It can still get hot during a heat wave.

FYI... Only about 1% of the properties in Mission Beach have central Air Conditioning.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The location was great with access to bayfront & oceanfront sides of beach, house was great and had everything needed to enjoy stay. Our Prius car rental fit perfectly in garage space. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Great spa right down the street. Host provided great area suggestions & was responded quickly to our inquiries.

Our trip to Pacific Beach exceeded all of our expectations starting with our accommodations. The cottage we stayed in was perfect.!! it was clean. It had everything we could possibly need for our temporary beach life we were experiencing.. I loved the privacy and we really liked how it was decorated with some of that old rustic vibe. The location was perfect as well.! Grocery store right down the street less than two minutes to get to the water which made it nice in case we had to run back to the pad for something we may have forgot. We were an absolute paradise in my opinion. Definitely would recommend to anybody.. we will be rebooking this exact same cottage next summer. It was sooooo nice! The kitchen was beautiful and very functional. Also, really glad we had a garage to park in,We had to rent a vehicle while we were there and I know parking in that area can be really difficult. At the end of the day, we were extremely grateful and happy with everything about staying at this property.

Great Cottage!

Great rental option and we will be back. We loved the location and distance from the bay and beach. The house is fantastic with all the beach gear to save the day. My only small issues is that the pillows are very thin and not good for side sleepers oh well. Next time I’ll buy my own. Everything else was fantastic and we left happy.

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.

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!

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.
