We had a wonderful stay. Susie, our host, was just wonderful. She was helpful, kind and responsive. Her home is immaculate and beautiful. The pictures are what you get. The view is more than fantastic and the location is terrific. There are so many good places to eat within a stone's throw. This is a wonderful place for a family or couples trip, I would recommend to anyone.

I would highly recommend this property. Five of us stayed and had more than enough room. Very nice deck overlooking the bay and only a two block walk to the ocean side. Several unique restaurants within easy walking distance. The location is within a 20 minute drive of anything you would want to see in the metro area, Gas Lamp district, Little Italy, Museums, etc.

The kitchen is more than equipped, the view is amazing. The pictures online don’t really do it justice. It’s located perfectly between the bay and the beach wonderful restaurants within a block. I can’t say enough about this place. The bay is calm and swimmable. Looking forward to our future third trip back!

This Mission Bay property was perfect for my husband and me and our two traveling companions. The location is ideal for exploring the San Diego area, although it was hard to tear ourselves away from the terrific balcony view. The condo itself is comfortable, clean and well-stocked (preparing dinner was a breeze!) and Susie is a wonderful host. Five stars all around!

Susie was an exceptional host—thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly helpful. From the moment we booked, her communication was clear and helpful, making our entire stay seamless and stress-free.The home itself was wonderful. The bayside location is truly special, with a spacious, comfortable deck that easily accommodated our group. Mornings on the deck were peaceful and serene, and each evening we were treated to SeaWorld’s fireworks, framed beautifully by the silhouettes of palm trees across the bay.It genuinely felt like a home, not just a rental. The kitchen was impressively stocked with every gadget, dish, and cooking utensil you could think of—making it easy and enjoyable to prepare meals. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like spices, cooking essentials, and hand soap in the bathrooms. These little conveniences made a big difference and added to the feeling of being truly at home.Susie has clearly put a lot of care into creating a welcoming and well-equipped space. I would absolutely recommend staying here. It’s a perfect blend of comfort, location, and hospitality.

Beautiful Property

We stayed for 4 nights to celebrate a wedding at a venue across the bay from this property. Everything about the location of the property is wonderful - the view from the 3rd floor balcony was spectacular and we sat on the patio every morning for coffee and every night for cocktails. The house is not fancy with upgrades, but every single surface from counters to bathrooms to beds was spotless. You could smell the freshness in the towels. This property is immaculately maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Every time we opened a new cupboard there were more surprises - from dual coffee makers to ninja blenders to baking pans - all is included here. The beds were ridiculously comfortable. We used the sofa sleeper for my adult daughters and normally sofa beds have thin, uncomfortable mattresses - not this one - it had a thick, comfortable mattress. We really liked being on the bay side, as it is much quieter and less busy. We took a walk every morning on the waterfront path just outside our unit. The owner, Susie, was very easy to communicate with and she responded to every question promptly. She even checked in during our stay to make sure everything was OK. I highly recommend this property and we hope to return for another stay in the future.

Susie was a great host; she was easy to contact and provided clear instructions. Her home was so tranquil and restful with a beautiful deck, kitchen and living room facing the bay. The shared space was so well planned with a lot of different places to sit and relax and enjoy the view. Will definitely look to stay here again.

Fun Christmas!

My wife and I, son, DIL, and grandkids really enjoyed our 8-day stay in this Mission Bay property. What makes it extra special is its great location right on the bay with beautiful views and on-property parking!. This 3rd story condo was very clean, comfortably furnished, had a well-stocked kitchen (especially important for last minute Christmas baking), and comfortable beds. We had a minor maintenance issue that was quickly resolved. Our hostess, Susie, was exceptionally communicative and responsive, one of the best we’ve delt with over the many VRBO stays. While everything is clean and functional, the kitchen and bathrooms could use some updating. We would definitely recommend this property to others.
