Adorable Beachy Cottage in the heart of Mission Beach! Close To EVERYTHING!

The perfect place for your perfect beach vacation! This Mission Beach charmer is just 3 doors down from Mission Bay and just a minute's walk to the ocean, Belmont Park and the famous Big Dipper Roller Coaster, as well as many restaurants/activities. The location couldn't be more central!
Great for a family of 4 or two couples. The large patio allows for a great place to relax or have a BBQ! And the one-car garage is a commodity in Mission Beach. With hardwood floors, lots of light in the living room, a flat screen TV, fully stocked kitchen, free wi-fi, and all the beach equipment you will need (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, beach towels), this is a great place to spend your next vacation. Just bring your flip flops and sunscreen!
We have beach cruisers, a 2 person kayak and paddle boards available for a nominal rental fee, ready for your use when you arrive. Each unit has exclusive use of their own side of the patio with patio table and 4 chairs. Black out curtains in the bedroom are a plus for sleeping in or snoozing after a fun day in the sun.
And if you have a baby, we offer free use of our pack and play, umbrella stroller and portable high chair!

Great location close to the beach and perfect for our family vacaction

We spent 5 days here in November for a family vacation with our 2 year old son and had a great time. The location was perfect with just a short walk to the beach and Belmont Park. We really enjoyed our time here!

Fabulous Stay

The cottage is in the perfect location! Steps from the bay, blocks from the beach and Belmont Park and close to so many restaurants. It had everything you would need including rentable bikes, SUPs and a kayak. Enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the front patio. Garage was a bonus. Karin and Mark were easy to work with and very accommodating. Easy check in and check out process.

Quaint and convenient

Great choice for our Mission Beach stay! Easy to get to the very active beach side and even easier to access the quiet bay side. Comfy bed, nice bathroom and kitchen — and a great value for the area!

Great location, comfortable home

My family of five enjoyed our stay. Everything was comfortable and as described. The location is great: close to the beach, SeaWorld and lots of other attractions. The neighbors were quiet and it was great having a garage to park in. We would definitely come back.

Great long term stay

Second time staying at this property for 2 months. It’s perfect for one person and could easily accommodate two and a dog (I brought my dog). Property is clean and close to everything I needed. The Fit Athletic club, ocean beach/riffs yoga studio, blue palm coffee shop and the beach and bay. I’ll definitely come back to spend time in the sun! Owner is incredibly responsive and kind as well :)

Amazing home!!

This home was perfect! Had everything we needed for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and futon. The owner left the cutest message on the kitchen board for our family and fur-babies. The owner made us feel welcomed. She also left my fur-babies treats and dog bowls. The home also had many usable items for the beach. It came with a washer and dryer which was very convenient. It was a perfect home close and walking distance to the beach, bay area, belmont park, shops and restaurants. The owner was also fast with communication and was very kind. I recommend this home 10/10.

Lovely home away from home

Karin and Mark were most helpful and their unit was exactly as advertised. It's close to both beaches, and tastefully decorated and updated. We were very comfortable there - even cooked a fair bit as everything you could want in terms of appliances and dishes was there - even a pizza pan and cutter, and apple slicer/corer!

Wonderful!

We loved our stay at Karin's place. The location was awesome, easy access to everything. She was even kind enough to let us check in early so our baby could nap while the place was still being cleaned. We loved the outside porch area, it was perfect for our toddler. I also was very impressed with the kitchen pots/pans, dishes etc. You never know what you are going to get sometimes and we appreciate nice cookware! Thank you Karin for such an awesome stay for our famiy.

Loved our beach cottage!

We loved our little beach cottage steps away from Mission Bay! The cottage has great wood floors and is completely redone; very cute and beachy. Very spacious and loved the patio, BBQ, trees, shade, and peace. Karin was very responsive, and we appreciated being able to bring our dog. The path and beach are three house away and the neighborhood is away from the big bars so not constantly noisy like some other places we've stayed on Mission Bay. Thanks! We'll be back!

Review Of Stay

Situated nicely between Mission Beach and Mission Bay. It is of our opinion that a VRBO/ Hotel etc.. should have a Quality bed and linen. This unit did not! Very uncomfortable. Parking was also limited.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!! Within 5 miles or 15 minutes of most attractions. Parking is limited and difficult. Street parking limited and more remote. Off-street parking inside the garage is difficult - Narrow alley-way must be clear and vehicle must be backed into the smaller, narrow garage. (Compact SUV, Toyota RAV4, difficult)
