All you need to do is pack you bags! We will take care of the rest. This unit has been recently updated with new furniture and decor. You will love everything it has to offer.

Guest Access:
The patios are a shared common area but each unit has its own set of outdoor furniture. Note your patio furniture is in the front of the complex looking at Ormond on the left.

The Neighborhood:
Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around "courts" with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to "live at the beach"
Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away)

Getting Around:
Please note that there is no parking at this residence and street parking tends to be difficult find in peak season. You can always park in alleys (just look for breaks in the fire lanes or on Mission Blvd (Just check the street sweeping signs). If you head east on Santa Clara Pl towards the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, there is free daytime parking (not for overnight use). Next to Santa Clara is the Mission Beach Women's Club, which offers paid parking when they have it (look for the envelopes by the door. Finally, in a pinch you can drop stuff off and then park in Ventura Cove and grab a Bird scooter and jet back to the property. Most of our guests never use their car once on site since everything at the beach is walkable (or Uber-able in a pinch).

Other Things to Note:
There is a fully stocked kitchen with all items needed to bake, cook or grill, pots/pans, cookie sheets, casserole dishes, outdoor plastic dishes, tin foil, knives, cutting board, blender, coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, creamer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, first aid kit, a/c & heat, wifi, Smart TV, hair dryer, iron, iron board, washer-dryer (coin operated), luggage rack, hangers, extra linens, pillows and blankets, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, beach umbrellas, and patio furniture.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

Despite any stated cancellation policy, I will refund 100% for any cancellations made prior to 90 days from your arrival date. Thereafter I will refund your rental fee to the extent I am able to re-rent the unit for the days cancelled.

Interaction with Guests:
We are a self-service destination (check-in details will be sent 3 days prior to arrival). However, we are also a full-service, professional management company (that has been a Superhost/Preferred Partner for over 4 years running) and we are just a phone call/text/email away and have agents that are almost never more than 10 minutes away should a need arise.

Worth the price
We enjoyed our stay and the location is great as our daughter lives just a few blocks away. The place was very clean and had just about everything you would need. The noise from upstairs is more than we were expecting, especially when they came crashing in at 4am talking very loudly then having some extended “intimate” fun which we could hear quite clear. A few things that would cause us to give a full 5 starts: darkening curtains or roller blinds in the bedroom. There was quite a bit of light coming through and we had to use a blanket over the blinds to block it out, there were only 2 skillets that were quite small and had to cook in stages, the shower door is missing a screw causing it to not operate smoothly, the bedroom chair in the corner was not attached to the base causing a safety issue, the coffee pot has no auto off and we mistakenly left it on all day, lastly some distilled water for the iron would be nice so all the minerals don’t end up on your clothes like they did with mine. Other than that we do recommend this place and would stay again!

Perfect location
We spent five nights at the condo. The proximity to Mission Beach is less than a block. It was lovely to spend time on the beach and walk the boardwalk. There is an amazing bakery close by- Olive’s- highly recommended the cinnamon buns. Aaron was easy to communicate with and did his best to accommodate us. The condo is clean and stocked with coffee, filters, sugar etc. Appliances are new and clean. There’s an outdoor shower to rinse the sand after a day at the beach. There is little space to unpack your suitcase as there are no dressers in the bedroom. There is a large closet, however. Perhaps some under the bed pull out storage containers would alleviate this issue. If you’re hesitating over booking this condo, don’t. It’s better than the photos and I could not have chosen a better location.

Anniversary Getaway
I stayed here with my husband while celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. It was very clean, quiet, comfortable, and in a great location. Walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and the beach gives an amazing view. We would stay again.

Stellar Location
Great location just steps from the bay and a very short walk to the beach. Lovely quiet outside patio space and well appointed kitchen. On site laundry was also a plus. Lots of amenities helped make the week relaxing.

Live like a Local
This apartment was renovated nicely, and once you figure out how to use the stuff, it was very comfortable (the A/c is also heat in the living room!). I enjoyed the location but if you have a car (and I did) it was sometimes a bit difficult to find parking; but if you are willing to walk a bit, not really an issue. The only issue I had was with the construction of the place, you hear every sound above you. Not to mention the planes. But I am a light sleeper and like to sleep until 8 am. The owner did make my life difficulty with lots of back and forth (no telephone conversations allowed) making things more difficult than they should have been. He did apologize and I believe he would be available if I had needed him. All in all, a nice place to stay where you can cook and not be at restaurants every night.

Lovely location…..
Lovely location nestled between the bay and ocean. Directions to the place were a little confusing to both myself and Uber driver but with the help of a kind woman in the rental office was able to find it right away. I was very sad all the outdoor cushions were not only rain soaked but filthy; pretty much the reason why I rented this unit was because of this potentially lovely outdoor space. I understand they’ve gotten a lot of rain but the sun was shining when I arrived and those cushions should have been brushed off and set to dry in the sun! The indoor space was great with a well stocked kitchen ( although ice in freezer was an old half used stale bag of ice I immediately threw out). I would also recommend better lighting; half the outdoor lights were burned out and minimal lighting inside with the exception of very bright overhead lighting ( can you spell mood spoiler) and the wall sockets were in hard to reach places as I wandered around wondering where to plug my things in. The hair dryer was filled with old hair and dirt rendering it useless and disgusting. First time I opened the closet door the entire door came off its tracking! I will close with saying the rental agency was very quick to respond to my calls; although most disappointed when they said there was nothing they could do about the wet/ filthy cushions outside. Believe a little more attention to cleanliness lighting ( including easier access to wall sockets) would help this rental imensely.
