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

* Note - If this property is booked, or does not suite your needs, please see my other Mission Bay Rentals - VRBO #379170 and #657994

Gorgeous 2 Bedroom Beach Cottage with a large private deck, charming vintage touches, and parking... all just steps from the sand! Located in the heart of Mission Beach, you can easily walk to both the ocean and bay, along with the restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and shops of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach.

This cozy beach cottage is perfect for couples, small families, friends, or remote workers looking for a relaxed coastal getaway in one of San Diego’s best beach neighborhoods.

INTERIOR DETAILS

This beautifully updated beach cottage blends classic Mission Beach charm with modern comforts. Original wood floors, coastal décor, vintage furnishings, and an open layout create a warm, welcoming space that feels relaxed and comfortable from the moment you walk in.

The living room is bright and inviting, with comfortable slipcovered seating, a Smart TV with YouTubeTV included, ceiling fans, and a freestanding gas fireplace for cozy evenings after the beach.

The kitchen is fully equipped with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, open shelving, and a large freestanding island that makes cooking and gathering easy. It includes all the basics needed to prepare meals at home.

Both bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds with soft luxury linens, feather/down bedding, ceiling fans, and plenty of natural light. The cottage comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests.

The bathroom is centrally located between the bedrooms and features vintage-inspired touches, subway tile, and a tub/shower combination.

EXTERIOR DETAILS

One of the best parts of this property is the spacious private outdoor area surrounded by palm trees and lush tropical landscaping. The yard features soft artificial turf throughout, creating a comfortable and relaxing space to enjoy San Diego’s amazing weather year-round.

The outdoor space includes:
- Dining table with seating for 6
- Large umbrella for shade
- Lounge chairs for relaxing in the sun
- BBQ grill
- Ambient lighting for evenings outside

Whether you’re having coffee in the morning, grilling after the beach, or enjoying a glass of wine outside at night, the outdoor space feels like a private little tropical escape in the middle of Mission Beach.


Please note:
- During summer weekends, holidays, and peak travel periods, parking in Mission Beach can become very limited.
- You may need to park several blocks away and walk back to the cottage during busy times.
- Parking availability usually improves later in the evening around sunset.
Beach life in Mission Beach comes with a little parking adventure sometimes. :)

Air Conditioning
- The cottage has a mini-split AC unit located in the main living area, along with ceiling fans throughout the home.
- Combined with the coastal breeze, the cottage stays comfortable most of the year.

Like many classic beach cottages near the ocean, the bedrooms are not separately air conditioned and can occasionally become warm during rare San Diego heat waves or unusually humid weather.
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.

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.

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.

Birthday Celebration at the Beach

The owner is awesome to work with and this cottage is adorable, comfortable and CLEAN!!! I loved the special touches such as fresh flowers, the chalk board at the door greeting us, and the chilled champagne. I loved how the house was decorated and it had everything we needed-oh, the fireplace, the private patio and bikes were a biggie for me too. My mom enjoyed her visit so much she is renting the cottage this year. I enjoyed it so much i wanted to eat in vs. go out for dinner.

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!
