The BEST of the best on Mission Bay!

Come join us for the best of the best on the sand in Mission Beach. Our beach house has unobstructed views of Mission Bay and you can enjoy the nightly summmer fireworks show from the large private deck.

The master bedroom (aka Captain's Quarters) has a comfy California king bed and a bathroom with a shower, jacuzzi tub, bidet and walk in closet.

There are two more bedrooms down the hall, the Crew's Quarters with a comfy queen bed and the Mermaid room with a comfy queen bed. Off the hall are both a guest bathroom and a full bathroom.

The kitchen is a cooks dream with a panoramic view of the water and all the amenities you will need, including built in appliances.

We are located just down the sidewalk from the Catamaran Resort where the Bahia Belle and William D Evans (both sternwheelers) dock nightly. This property is right on Sail Bay across from The Aquatic Center! There is a private elevator that services this property. We also provide a laundy room with a washer and dryer.

We welcome you to come experience it for yourself!

Breathtaking Bayside Home

We absolutely loved the home! It was so beautiful from the moment you opened the front door and saw an incredible view of the bay. Everything was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed! Susie, the owner, was extremely helpful and did all she could do make our stay the best! We would definitely stay here again!

Fun Christmas!

My wife and I, son, DIL, and grandkids really enjoyed our 8-day stay in this Mission Bay property. What makes it extra special is its great location right on the bay with beautiful views and on-property parking!. This 3rd story condo was very clean, comfortably furnished, had a well-stocked kitchen (especially important for last minute Christmas baking), and comfortable beds. We had a minor maintenance issue that was quickly resolved. Our hostess, Susie, was exceptionally communicative and responsive, one of the best we’ve delt with over the many VRBO stays. While everything is clean and functional, the kitchen and bathrooms could use some updating. We would definitely recommend this property to others.

Cannot say enough good things about this property

The property is a third floor unit overlooking the beautiful Mission Bay. It is perfectly located within easy walking distance of numerous restaurants. It backs up to a large bayside beach and is only a block away from the ocean. The unit is very spacious, very clean, and has all amenities you could ever need. The owner, Susie, is super responsive and courteous. It was a perfect vacation!
