Great Condo, great location
We are a family of four (10 yr old and 13 yr old kids) and this condo was great for us. It’s 2 blocks from Pacific Beach and right next to the Bay. There are plenty of good restaurants and coffee shops in the area within walking distance. The Mission Beach area is awesome, super chill, and this condo fits it perfectly. The owners communicated really well, it was all smooth and easy. They had chairs, beach towels, boogie boards and sand toys for their guests. Those things put it over the top. We hope to come back!

Mission Bay Stay
My husband and I are retired and travel in a Pop up camper. He needed to have our patient surgery and we rented this place for 2.5 weeks for him to rehab in. It was perfect for our needs. The kitchen is well stocked with pans and dishes. The knives were what you would expect in a rental. The primary bed was very comfortable. This is an older apartment that is well taken care of. It has a wall heater and was very clean. The hosts were good and took about 24 to 48 hrs to return any questions. We were in the downstairs apartment so if there are renters above, expect noise. The washer and dryer on premises looks old but worked fine. The upstairs deck was nice. 1 block back from the bay and 3 blocks from the ocean. It was nice to not be in heavy stream of bay and ocean traffic. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and was just what we needed.

Noisy
The rental is set back in an alley way but in a good location. The adjacent property was under construction so all we heard was jack hammers all day and then starting back at 8am in the morning. The construction was so loud you could not hear the tv inside the apartment. After 2 calls to VRBO and calls to the property management company they finally let us out of the 4 night obligation and let us move to a quieter location.

Great location, great size, great amenities
This place is just steps from the bay, perfect for younger children to play. Sand toys were provider. The rooftop deck was so beautiful with a view of the bay. Had a nice back patio to store our personal e-bikes securely. On a bike path so we never got back in the car during the whole stay!
