It was a lovely stay. The parking was a bit tricky due to the garage being too small to park in. But there was usually a spot along the side of the building to park. As long as you were not the first one to park because if someone parked behind you were stuck. The apartment was perfect for our needs. One think to note, is that not all of the outlets worked. I would definitely stay again. Perfect spot right on the beach with the ocean sounds lulling you to sleep.

Rich’s boardwalk is the perfect little vacation rental in the middle of Mission beach. It’s just a few steps away from the boardwalk for an easy walk for a late night snack or drink. The roof top patio while small is perfect to just sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
Can’t beat the location & the view! So beautiful! The unit was clean, set up was great for a family & the washer/dryer was really convenient.

Great location to enjoy the beach with ease!
This is such a great little cottage, with a great view and location! The amenities were more than enough for us to enjoy the beach, the place was clean, and the team was responsive whenever we needed anything (especially Laura!). It wasn't swanky, but that wasn't needed. It fit all of the needs for a nice little beachside getaway! We will be back!

A bit disappointing
- Great location on Mission beach. Steps from the beach and Belmont Park.
- The property is certainly outdated and could use some work.
- The property looks much cleaner from the pictures. Bed sheets appeared to be old. The sofa bed is rusty.
- Bathroom is fairly clean. The dish washer doesn’t work very well.

On the Beach
The location is great! The beach directly across is a surfing zone, but swimming is 50 yds away. We loved sitting up on the roof taking in the views, the breeze, and people watching. The apartment had everything needed to get started. It has a grill, extra filtered water, beach towels, beach bikes, beach chairs, and sand toys to name a few.
The garage is very small. A Nissan Rougue or a Honda Element fits. I climbed out the trunk a couple times but it was worth it to have a parking spot.
Only things that could make it better would have some Tupperware for left overs and an umbrella for the roof top. It was a super time. 10 mins from the marina. Also highly recommend a whale watching tour with Gone Whale Watching and Second Nature restaurant.
It really was fabulous. Highly, highly recommend. Communication with the managing company was also excellent!! They sent guides via email, text messages to check in on us, and swiftly responded to questions.

Perfect Summer Vacation!
One of the best trips my family and I have ever taken! We were literally steps from the ocean, the only way we could have been any closer to the water is if we were on a boat. The location was incredible and the bungalow was beautiful. The rooftop balcony with bbq was what sold us on this property and it did not disappoint! We saw dolphins playing just past the surf every night as the sun was setting. The big picture window in the front room was also a favorite spot while eating breakfast. We were a short walk away from Belmont Park and all the shops and eateries in the area. We spent our afternoons on the beach and our evenings walking the boardwalk and trying new food shops. Just an absolutely perfect, relaxing vacation. San Diego itself has so many attractions and things to do, but we were so content to just stay on the property and in the immediate area.
Nancy’s Vacation Rentals was a fantastic group to work with! They answered all the questions we had and made every step from payment to check-in and check-out as smooth as possible. I actually tried to book a property in the same 8-unit complex from a different property manager and they were terrible. We’re really grateful to the Nancy team for everything they did to help make our vacation special. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them, and hope to book with them again in the future.
Two points to just be aware of: 1) even in mid-July the ocean water is cold, and 2) the boardwalk can be noisy at night. That being said, neither of these negatively impacted our stay. You get used to the cold water after a few minutes, or you can also rent a wet-suit from some of the shops towards the Mission Beach Lifeguard Station. And if the windows are closed at night, the boardwalk noise isn’t a bother. If the windows are open, the ocean tends to drown out much of the noise.
We will definitely be back!

Great Location and views!
Enjoyed the Mission Beach experience over the 4th of July. Unit is in a great location just steps from Belmont Park and many small eateries and bars. View from the main window inside and view deck is superb. You can either decide to sit up top and take in all the action or take a couple steps and be at waters edge.. Mission Beach is very crazy around the 4th so be prepared for lots of noise and activity below you on the boardwalk during these particular days. A not on parking, when I realized my SUV would not fit in the garage, I rented a smaller vehicle that would. I was glad I did becaue it is impossible to find parking near the unit. The 2 or 3 "first come first serve" spaces on side of building will be occupied by folks that will never move their cars until they check out. I would've spent my entire vacation moving my car around and looking for overnight parking. It got better further away from the 4th. Well equiped in every category. Minor suggestion is a knive sharpener and a non stick pan for eggs etc.

Nice place, awful parking
We've had the pleasure of staying in the Mission and Pacific Beach areas many times over the past 15 years, but staying at this place was our least favorite. The actual condo was fine: it was clean, and has great views of the ocean. The roof deck was wonderful and by far the best aspect of the place. The condo was sparsely stocked (e.g 4 *medium* sized towels, so we had to do laundry far more than we should have needed to) and the few knives in the kitchen were so blunt they were dangerous.
However, the main reason we disliked the place is the parking situation is simply awful. There IS technically a garage, but it is so small the maximum car size that would fit in there is a compact car or compact SUV...and who takes one of those on vacation with a family and all their luggage!? (Btw we have a medium sized SUV, and while I could technically fit it in there, I literally could not open the door to get out!)
So, the only realistic parking option is 3 car tandem parking with some of the other condo tenants. Unless you're at the front of the tandem, you cannot leave for the day without your car as you'd need to move your car when someone else needed to get out. This is a BIG negative when you want to go to the beach for the day, or eat at a local restaurant and not drive...multiple times I had to run back to the condo to move my car when someone else needed to move theirs. (Each car leaves their cell number on the dash so they can be contacted). If the owners of these condos demolished the useless tiny garages and replaced them with regular parking spaces it would make a profound difference to the functionality while staying there.
We cannot recommend this place simply because the parking situation very negatively affected our stay, it limited where and when we could go somewhere, which defeats the purpose of being on vacation.
