Oasis on the Beach

This place was amazing! Right on the beach with a lovely patio and great views from inside as well. The kitchen was large and well equipped. Plenty of space to eat with extra tables to do puzzles on a rainy day. Great access to bay and ocean beaches. It was the perfect place to relax and soak in the ocean breezes.

Spring break

This home was just what we needed for a little staycation for spring break that our granddaughter had. Spacious, beautiful home within walking distance to the beach and Belmont Park. In addition to garage parking, there was a public parking lot nearby. We would stay here again,

Can’t wait to come back!

This was one of my favorite vacation rentals ever. I cannot recommend the home and location enough. Everything was so and accessible. The house is RIGHT on the beach and in walking distance of so many fun things. My husband, four kids and I had the most lovely stay. Thank you!

Colorful hacienda on the bay. Amazing views

We loved this home, right on the water - peaceful bay side of Mission Beach. Location is great for kids or just relaxing!!! Comfortable, cool Spanish style furnishings, Huge patio on the beach. We grown weary of the sterile white walls and “gray everything” rentals so this house was a refreshing and fun retreat. Would definitely rent again!

Wonderful Stay on the Bay

This is such an amazing place to stay with the family. The location is amazing, it is on the bay, super short walk to the ocean, but because it is down on the end it is still very quiet at night an peaceful. The house itself was very nice and fit our family of 4 no problem. Some nicer perks than a lot of rental homes that we have tried, you can tell that the owner really cares about the property and guests. On that note, the owner was extremely responsive with questions ahead of time, and checked in with us through the app regularly during the trip.

Beautiful stay!

My family recently stayed at this lovely house on Mission Beach for two nights, and our experience was fantastic. The property was beautiful and well-maintained, with a perfect location just steps from the bay and beach. The host was exceptionally accommodating, providing beach chairs and other essentials, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We particularly appreciated the convenience of having a garage for parking and the opportunity to relax on the patio, which was a highlight of our stay. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway, and we would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a charming and convenient spot at Mission Beach.

Awesome location

Wow! Incredible location — quiet yet in the center of it all. The kitchen was so well stocked with anything we needed. Furniture was comfortable as well. I was som impressed with this unit and hope I can stay here again someday. Just one concern — shower in main bathroom has tiles steps leading down to the shower. I’m glad my elderly father did not use this room. I wish the listing would have described this. The other bathroom had a typical shower so it was easy to avoid the main bathroom shower.

Tranquil by the Bay!

This little villa is absolutely perfect. Sure it's a little quirky, a blue kitchen and pinkish couches, the place is great. The master bath was massive giving the kiddo's such a fun bath time experience after a day at the water. The bunk bed room is perfect for the littles to slumber and the biggest rooms in the house are the shared living spaces which is where we gathered. But most importantly, the location is great! Nestled in the corner at the south end of the bay, it is a great view of the Sea World fireworks, walking distance to the park, and front yard water views. They had two grills on site so we grilled and played everyday! 10/10 recommend!

One of the best vacation homes I’ve stayed in!!!

First off, the response from the property management team was excellent! They were knowledgeable and quick to respond. The location was great and I loved having a garage! Parking in Mission Beach is a huge problem. When looking for a vacation rental in Mission Beach I wanted parking otherwise I wasn’t going to deal with the hassle.The home is spacious, clean and well stocked. We didn’t want for anything. We made meals there to enjoy the home and amazing views. The kitchen had everything we needed and used the bbq. We didn’t have a chance to use the smoker. Loved all the areas to sit in the wraparound patio. Loved having the outdoor shower to rinse after walking on the sand and getting in the water! Beds were comfortable, linens were soft and comfy too, plenty of bath and beach towels. Lots of games and beach equipment too! I would love to stay again! Thank uou for a wonderful stay!
