DESCRIPTION
Rockaway Oceanfront 1 is all about the energy of the Mission Beach Boardwalk. This ground-floor home puts you right in the middle of the fun, featuring a spacious beachfront patio designed for people-watching, sunset BBQs, and effortless days in the sun.

The interior is full of view windows, but the real living happens outdoors. With zero stairs and a floor plan that opens directly to the Boardwalk, you can go from your breakfast bar to grounding with your toes in the sand in seconds. Take a dip in the cool surf and you’ll feel alive and regenerated and as one with the big blue Pacific. You may even catch sight of a dolphin or two!

Located halfway between the Pacific Beach Pier and Belmont Park, this is your launchpad for exploring miles of coastline. Whether you are grabbing the included bikes for a cruise, skateboarding down the strand, or launching a SUP into the bay, everything that makes Mission Beach iconic is at your doorstep.

Yearly Marine/Veteran Day fishing trip

We have been coming to Sandiego/Mission Beach for the last 7 years. This rental was great location. The amount of room this place has was amazing. It was a great experience. We will be booking soon for our trip next year on the Marine Corps Birthday/Veterans day weekend.

Mission Beach

The location was great, which is why we chose the property. It appears the building was under ownership change (sold sign out front), which may explain a few of the issues I'll mention. Overall, it was an ok place. Having a garage that my full-size SUV would fit in for the trip was HUGE. The place had what we needed. A few shortcomings were: the front slider will not lock. Needs adjustment so the latch will catch. We had wooden poles to slip behind the door, but it would be nice to lock it. The refrigerator and freezer are just barely getting by. At max settings, the stuff in the fridge never made it to preferred temperature and items in the freezer took about 2 days to freeze. Not ideal. The place needs a little TLC, which may be planned by the new owners. But it was acceptably clean and as mentioned, you are staying and paying for the location.

Amazing Location!

We enjoyed our time with our adult kids + partners. The location is amazing!! Beautiful views, sunsets, and people watching. It was perfect with us having our own bath and the other two couples sharing the 2nd bath. Check in process was a little frustrating - all the communications say please don't ask about early check in, if its ready early we'll let you know. It was clear the unit was ready earlier in the day (we drove by), but we did not get a notification until I bugged them a few times, received 'bot' replies about parking, then finally they said the unit was ready about 1.5 hours early. We did not have any major issues with the interior but several small ones ...the patio furniture was filthy .... they sent someone the next morning to clean it off. The dishwasher and oven both had issues - loose hinge on the dishwasher and oven handle that came off when we pulled it open. Other reviews mention the lack of seating, that is definitely something to upgrade. 3 person couch for a place that holds 6. Its great to have the garage (very small but standard for that area), but more than once we went to leave and were blocked in by another car. The first time I messaged about this, I got the same bot reply about parking. After that I received a reply that was not very helpful about how it looks like I can still get out. Overall: location makes up for a lot of the small issues, but with a makeover and improved response time (no bots!) it could be a real gem!

Very clean and nice inside. Very easy to walk to the beach and restaurants. The views is great. Only complaint is the walls are pretty thin so you might have a problem with the noise if you're a light sleeper.

Ideally located on Mission Bay

The home was ideal for my family of 6 and two small dogs. Ideally located right across the boardwalk from Mission beach, the home was spacious and was stalked with everything we needed. The patio had enough separation from the boardwalk that our small dogs were well contained. As mentioned in other reviews the garage is small, barely accommodating our Honda Pilot, but we were able to make it work. i would highly recommend the unit.

Awesome location!!

Great beach front location! Lots to do and see! Overall was very happy with the condo. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of a musty smell upon arriving at condo, but cleared up once we opened windows and got airflow. Also the shower would turn cold at random times while showering but then would warm back up after a few minutes. Condo was well equipped (kitchen, towels, beach towels) and even had washer and dryer, which was handy. The Key Concierge service was suburb as well.

Fall break

Nothing beats a property on the boardwalk in Mission Beach. Nonstop people watching, and look out for Slo Mo who skates by in his slow style twice a day. In the mornings before 9 am and in the afternoon after 4 pm, the dogs come out! The apartment is great with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Also rare was an enclosed garage for the car. The dining table is right in front of the large windows to enjoy the ocean view. The management was always ready to answer questions.

Noisy!

The people upstairs were running around and making noises from 4 am to midnight. We could hear every footstep. Cheap floors? No carpet? Ruined the trip. We complained to no effect. Also check in and out too strict. Lighten up, we have a toddler.
