We liked the property. We thought the price was very reasonable. Our only complaint was that the WiFi stopped working on our fourth day. Also the toilet paper problem should really be resolved. We ran out of your partially used, tiny rolls.
The location is very good, clean and had what one needs for a three day stay and it was reasonably priced. It was quite during my stay and decorated great.
Canât ask for a better spot for 1 or 2 people that just want to be close to the beach. Host was very accommodating and checkin was zero effort. Would definitely stay here again.
It's always an awesome stay at Brant's place. We have been coming here for years. Great on the upgrades too and shower water very hot too...great.. we will be back in Sept.
This little place was the perfect little getaway. Super clean and very comfortable. Loved how close it was to the beach and good food. Our only regret na that we werenât there longer. Loved our stay.
We love the studio unit. It has all the essentials that we would need and more (like boogie boards, lawn chairs, beach towels, coffee & creamer, etc). The location is ideal. We appreciate having a dedicated parking space so we don't have to drive around looking for parking. Brant is a super responsive host. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to make it an annual visit.
The beach cottage was a perfect place for a long weekend in San Diego. The price was right, we were close to everything and we loved the bright fun colors.

Cute studio on mission beach. Clean with all the necessities. Access to front patio which is beachfront and also comes with a parking spot :) Would definitely stay here again
The pictures show an ocean front deck right on the boardwalk. There was nothing there letting you know that the actual unit has NO ocean view and is up a flight of stairs with no handrail. To get to the "ocean view" deck you have to go down the stairs and arourd the back of another unit. I am 83 and partially disabled and getting up and down the stairs was so hard I did not really enjoy the deck all that much especially when I realized that I shared it with couple and their large dog who wanted to be friendly with me (I am allergic). They did have a huge TV screen but with limited programming. I did not come to watch TV - I wanted to just watch and hear the ocean. I was very unhappy. It tool a lot of work to get their including assistance getting ob and off the pane and wheelchair service in the airport. Very sad...
Not just a âwouldâ stay here againâŠbut a âwill beâ staying here again!
This little studio is perfect for two adults wanting to explore mission beach! Itâs an older home but you can really tell they keep up the grounds and are happy to provide the best experience for their guests. I felt safe and comfortable sitting by myself on the front porch near on the board walk and enjoyed the full kitchen on the nights where we had so many leftovers from all the amazing eateries within a small 3 block distance! Thank you Brant for the amazing stay!
The house and 3 studio units were built by my grandfather and has been in the family for over 70 years - 3 generations! We are looking to maintain the house as family friendly vacation rental with repeat guests. Many have spoken to and delt with Mildred over the years. Now, Brant is helping with the management.
We speak French and Spanish with some fluency. International guests are welcome.
We have enjoyed spending family time here over the years. We hope that you will have many memorable times here as well! Mission Beach has the most accessible and best beach in all of San Diego. It is 4 1/2 miles long! There is an ocean as well as bay side. The boardwalk is terrific for walking, skating or biking. Did you know that surf fishing is pretty good right out-front of the house?
PATIO: Guests can enjoy sitting on a patio that fronts to the boardwalk and ocean. We offer a gas firepit that guest may enjoy. Many rental units in the price range do not have this!
PARKING: Since the property is at El Carmel, it is strategically located to take advantage of on and off-street parking. El Carmel point offers extra off-street parking where cars may be parked overnight. The studio has 1 off-street parking for a smaller vehicle right off the alley. Please see parking picture. We are centrally located - walking distance to Belmont Amusement Park (to the South) and Crystal Pier (to the North).
VIEWS FROM STUDIO: The unit has 5 windows - one in the bathroom, 2 in the kitchen, and 2 in the main living area. The bathroom window and one of the kitchen windows faces to the rear (toward Mission Bay) and does not really offer any type of water view, but they higher up and overlook the community. The ocean views from the living area side window and the kitchen side window are more distant. The main living area window towards the ocean looks over the courtyard and the roof of the front house. With the door open, there is a more distant side view to ocean. As the unit is upstairs ... you may open the blinds and no one can see in. With the windows open, there are nice cross breezes.
