Nothing Beats Ocean Front
Awesome location! Literally, right on the beach. Donna provided a list of recommended restaurants, etc. that made the stay super smooth. I’d definitely come back … and next time hope for a bit better weather instead of the June gloom.

Beach Life - Ocean View 2 bedroom + King Bed
What a wonderful place to call home for a week. We love the area, and being in the quieter, residential portion made the stay even better. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. Walkable to restaurants. Right next to the beach. And quite reasonably priced for the duration. Being able to stock up groceries and eat at the house was a major determining factor. Hosts were super responsive and timely in their delivery of access instructions. We will definitely be staying here again next year. Thank you, Janet & Scott, for being wonderful hosts!

Mission Beach Favorite - Steps To Beach and Bay
Great place in a quiet area, respectful friendly neighbors and right on the Bay.

South Mission Waterfront Escape
Wow... a really great little Jem. The ocean just steps away (5 min.) easy walk for anyone. My husband loved the kitchen. Large and easy to cook in. Nice hot tub to enjoy after walking all day which I loved. All and all you won't be disappointed. It was a great time, and we will return again. kat

Bayfront Beauty: 3BR Mission Bay Retreat
Beautiful apartment just as pictured. We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is clean and spacious. Mark was very friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had. Great location not too far from La Jolla.

Ocean Front Beach Condo
We loved this place. even though it was cloudy and windy, the porch was our favorite place to be! We watched Sea Lions, seagulls, pelicans and surfers during our morning coffee and dusk wine sunsets. Location was also great, within 15 to 20 minutes we were able to explore so much during the 3 days we were there. If you can only do a couple of things I suggest spending a couple of hours at the Cabrillo National Monument $20 valid for 7 days, you can hike, visit the monument, light house, tide pools, visitor center, The view is spectacular! Then head to Old Town and ride the 2 hours trolley - hop on and hop off or enjoy the full ride. Mexican food galore or stop by Little Italy for some yummy pizza! It was our first time in San Diego, but we will be back for sure, and hopefully Rick's place will be available! also a bonus, you get to use the garage!

Designer Beach Living | Steps from Blvd & Cafes
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb right on Mission Beach! The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the sand and perfect for a relaxing, chill vibe. The house was super clean, beautifully decorated, and very kid-friendly, which made it perfect for our family. The host, Evan was incredibly accommodating, even with some last-minute changes we had. He checked in to see if we needed anything and was always responsive and kind throughout our stay. We really appreciated the great communication and hospitality. Overall, we absolutely loved the experience and would definitely stay here again!

The only thing better than the location was the overall experience with the host! Our car battery died as we were leaving and Erin was quick to give us a jump start. Lifesaver! This place is definitely on our list to come back to!

Definitely will stay again!

Right Between Bay & Beach Firepit, Patio, Parking
It was a wonderful stay. We were there for a week and it was perfect for 2 people. Amazing location, between the beach and the bay, as well as close to restaurants and bars. Neighbours were friendly and the whole experience was fantastic!

Oceanview, 2 Balconies, Recently Upgraded Kitchen!
Location of this Condo is right by Crystal Pier and surrounding restaurants. It served it's purpose for my family and I. It was myself, mother, 4 teenage kids and 6 month baby. We walked the board walk before relaxing at the beach, baby fell sleep during the walk so we took him to where other family was already posted for beach day. When he woke up, we did not have a bottle but luckily the condo unit was 5 minutes back up to the room and back. With a 6 month or infant toddler age your going to have to be carrying around necessities the location of this unit minimized alot of this. Konos was a great place, they serve breakfast all day which is a win for me. There is a bar called The Hideaway, didn't get a chance to go in but they are very busy which in turns means they have to restock their supplies. This is done early morning so workers and their equipment can be heard, this did not bother us but maybe concern for those with good hearing. Our stay was great I definitely recommend.

Enchanted Ocean Sunsets
Such an amazing place! My husband and I have been meeting up with our friends for 6 years now and this is the first time a kid has joined us. My son loved the beach and it was so nice to be so close and to have our own space but to also be able to walk to restaurants and things around. Kiran was so kind and was able to answer any questions we had very quick. We’ve already talked about going again!!

Modern gated Condo steps from beach & attractions
Great place for a small family. Loved being so close to the beach!

Beautifully remodeled 10th floor oceanfront condo
Amazing stay and very well decorated unit with beautiful view. The place feels very cozy and homey and it has everything that you need. Will definitely stay there again
