For location and price this place was wonderful! We had 4 women and 4 girls in this 2 bedroom 2 bath house and it was just right. Needs some updates and maintenance but nothing that we couldn't work around. We will look into this place again next time for sure!
We absolutely love this property! We have stayed here three times and will continue in the future. We wake up in the morning, drink our coffee on the back patio, watching the volleyball players. Just a few steps away from the ocean. And a short walk to Belmont Park. Couldnât ask for more. Thank you Al being such a gracious host.
Cottage is cute. Right on the boardwalk. Convenient to the beach, restaurants, shops and Belmont Amusement Park. Quick drive to Sunset Cliffs, lots of restaurants, the airport and SDSU. Bicycles included
Loved staying right off the board walk and hanging out on the patio! Property was just right for our week stay! House was clean and everything accessible! Would definitely stay here again!
This was the second time we stayed at this house and really enjoyed it once again! It is the perfect place for our family. We love the location, especially because it is further down on the boardwalk, where is it a little calmer. We even reached out to Al on a holiday with a question and he responded immediately! Thanks again!
Wonderful patio, right on the boardwalk. It was fun watching the beach volleyball players. The house is cute & clean. It can use some updating. We didn't like the "coin washer & dryer". That was a first for us in all the VRBO's we have stayed in over the years. The other thing that would be nice is some foil, zip locks, saran wrap, maybe 2 rolls of TP in each bathroom. When you fly in from another state it makes a difference. The bedrooms are spacious. We enjoyed our girl time together. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
It was exactly as advertised. Needs updating but comfortable for our group of 8. The patio was great and the volleyball courts were not a problem. A few minor mishaps with coin laundry and ants but resolved quickly. The shower in one bathroom was tricky and the ceiling fan vibration in one bedroom was bad enough to turn it off at night. All in all, a good week.
We rented this house for Thanksgiving week, family of 5 with adult children and significant others. 2 bedrooms are private with 2 large, comfortable pull outs. Plenty of room for everyone. The volleyball courts are so close and fun to watch everyone playing. The back patio is the perfect place for morning coffee and afternoon happy hour. Easy walk to the escape room at the Belmont Park, or take the bikes! We decided to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in this rental, and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. So many dishes, pots, pans and even reusable containers for leftovers. I was pleasantly surprised, as some rentals have minimal kitchen items. We will definitely rent this house again. Looking forward to our next visit to Mission Beach!
This is an old original bungalow directly on the boardwalk in South Mission Beach. Itâs old, but itâs clean. It has everything youâd need to have a relaxing beach time. Love the big patio to relax, eat, watch volleyball then the sunset. It has a big driveway so our car never had to leave.
I canât express how nice and relaxing it is to wake up when you want, sip coffee on this patio, decide to hang out on the beach, but have your full bathroom and kitchen available to you at any time. No dealing with far away dirty bathrooms. Huge.
We love volleyball so that was a big bonus, to play whenever ( and watch them play).
Thanks for the boogie boards, a couple of them are REALLY beat up, but still workable. Theyâll break on someone soon.
The beach bikes were crazy old and uncomfortable, but they were free and they got us up and down the boardwalk when we felt like cruising.
The gas grille on the patio is useless, it has such a low flame that it canât cook meat.
The house itself is adequate for a few days.
We would like to come back.
Thanks!
Overall 5 stars! There were some flying ants that invaded and left wings in the bedroom and bathroom (gross!) but they didnât bother us otherwise. They disappeared after the first day. We enjoyed sitting in the back porch and watching the volleyball games. Had a couple of neighborhood cats that stopped by for some loving. Could use a second umbrella for the porch as the afternoon sun was strong and it was hard to squeeze 4 chairs with the one umbrella. Al responded instantly with a question about the bikes. Didnât cook at all except for making coffee. No keurig but the coffee maker worked just fine. Was a perfect cozy place for us!
Great spot, just a minute or so walk to the water.
Could use an update, clean and tidy, just needs to come into the 2000s.
Everything you need for your stay is there.
Itâs nothing fancy, but itâs cozy with vintage vibes and we loved that. There was only one thing that bothered me, the blinds in the front Sun room were broken and when you tried to close them shut all the way they would fall off. It was a privacy concern and itâs a simple inexpensive fix that they should invest in.
Its location is in front of the volley ball courts not far from the inlet to the bay. If you want to go to the ocean you have to walk a little bit down the boardwalk.
Itâs a great size which makes it comfortable for families, loved having coffee on the cute patio.
I would definitely stay there again but next time when itâs warmer, we went December 2 for the weekend.
This property is a great location to the beach. My family enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching the volleyball players every morning. The property does need updating as its very dated. Parking was great. Overall we enjoyed it and would stay again.
Hubby turned 70. We had a 3 night staycation with family. (Us, our two daughters, their spouses, and two year old twins). The cottage was perfect for us. It has a large, fenced patio and is at the quiet south end of the boardwalk near the jetty. The volleyball courts are in the sand out front and we enjoyed watching matches of skilled players. Added fun, our youngest made a "Happy Birthday, Mike" banner and hung it on the bushes on the north end of the patio. There were at least 100 people who walked/rode by and shouted "Happy Birthday, Mike!" and other birthday greetings. Made us laugh many times. This is one of the last old beach cottages left on the boardwalk. A bit dated decor, but charming, clean and well stocked. I had a question for Al. He responded immediately. This rental was everything it was promised to be in the listing. I would definately stay again.
The house was in a great location! However, if you do not enjoying volleyball at 6:30 in the morning this is not the place for you. It was fun to watch during the day but early morning practice was unexpected.
The house was clean however very dated and in some disrepair. The carpet was as others have described, you will want something on your feet at all times. The blinds were missing slats and the outdoor furniture needs to be replaced. We did enjoy our time at the house it just needs quite a bit of TLC.
