"This was a great place to stay for our family of 4. Location was excellent - 1 block from the beach and 3-4 blocks from the restaurants and shops. The host gave us very clear instructions for check-in, including a list of recommended restaurants - awesome! The host was easy to get in touch with if there were any issues. There was a beach mat and beach chairs in the apartment, which was great. There's a hose on the private patio to rinse off your feet after the beach so you're not tracking...

"The spot was perfect for us! It was a great size and so close to main street - which is where we spent most of our time. We were able to go back and forth for any reason with ease, and even beat crowds in the mornings. The place was very clean and very private! We especially loved the telescope! Highly recommend this stay!"

"We had such an amazing time on our trip to San Diego. We had some amazing food, stumbled upon a farmers market, Brazillian Fest, a roof top movie, goodwill bins (if you like thrifting), and our favorite the margarita flight with pork belly nachos. Our host was great, the apartment was perfect in everyway. And I didn’t think the sound level from outside was loud at all. Overall 1000/10! "

"The host is a charming older gentleman with a very interesting parrot Sam. The bedroom is small but never feels that way. This is a perfectly positioned opportunity to walk for 30 seconds and enjoy the beach in the morning. If you like intelligent conversation and quiet charm you will find this excellent value for money."

Some of the decorated pillows had stains which is an easy fix with brand new ones or cleaning. Parking spot was good. Sofa/sofa bed was uncomfortable, but overall a good stay."

"This property exceeded expectations. We visit Mission twice a year typically and this place was our favorite! The kitchen is pretty tight but all else is perfect and bed was very very comfortable!! Location was perfect to get our paddleboards out on the bay and do anything else we wanted to do, walk on the boardwalk, grab a drink or a bite to eat. Loved the little patio out front too! Added bonuses: Access to bikes, air conditioning and lockable garage allowed us to keep our boards inflated...
