Ben's Beach Bungalow 4, Quaint & Beachy 1BR

Summary:
Just steps to the sand! Take our boogie boards and beach equipment out for the day and come home to relax in this cozy 1-bedroom or go out to the nearby restaurants in Pacific Beach. This unit is laid out to comfortably sleep 4 in two beds. It has a separate dining area and a full kitchen, so you always have the option of dining in or experiencing the vast array of PB restaurants and bars.

The Space:
This is a second floor unit. Enter into an open L living room with a dining nook off the updated kitchen. Updated plank flooring and tile in the kitchen and bathrooms which is ideal for the beach. Smart TV to meet all your needs. Kitchen is fully appointed (gas stove, oven, microwave, blender, coffee maker, toaster, and all the things to use them). Updated step in shower with lots of natural light in the bathroom. Sleeper in the living room converts into an over-sized full bed. Luxurious queen in the bedroom....wake up to the sights and sounds of the Pacific Ocean literally 100 steps from your door!

Guest Access:
The whole unit is yours. This unit is part of a small and quiet 6-plex. Check-in is contactless. You will be given a door code 3 days prior to arrival.

The Neighborhood:
Within walking distance of all Mission Beach has to offer, this charming unit is both centrally and conveniently located, yet offers the quiet comfort most look for in a vacation getaway. Best part of this location in north Mission is that you are a quick jaunt to all the nightlife, cafes and restaurants of Pacific Beach but you get to come home to the quiet of north Mission Beach.

Getting Around:
We provide a single covered parking space. It is accessed off the alley and as such can be a tight fit (as with about 90% of the parking spaces at the beach). We recommend a small- to mid-sized car to make it easier to park. We also recommend backing into the spot as that makes it easier to get in and pull out. There is free street parking available, but due to the high volume of beach-goers, don't count on parking nearby. Also be sure to read parking signs!

Looking for a unique way to get around Mission/ Pacific Beach during your stay? We've partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!

Other Things to Note:
This is "typical" beach parking so we do not recommend large cars. The spots will not accommodate anything more than a mid-size car or SUV.

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.

We only offer the air conditioning between May and September

This unit although small is set up well with everything you need. The location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach. The garage is very small as described in the listing, but we were able to park our rental there. The bed was confiscated. Nice little unit!

Cute and cozy
Literally less than one minute walk to the beach! Property had beach chairs which was nice to just sit on the beach and enjoy. Lots of options close by for eating out or just grabbing coffee. Perfect spot for a quick weekend getaway…quiet and clean.

Enjoyed our stay. We were close to the beach and bay and coffee shops, great restaurants, shopping and even a rollercoaster. The apartment was quiet, clean and had everything we needed for the beach. The host was kind and quick to responded to texts. I would love to come back! ☀️🌴⛱️

Needed more air
This stay was fine, except for the air situation. The airconditioning is a portable unit, tucked into a corner of the main room. It was insufficient to cool the main living space and did absolutely nothing for the bedroom. Since the bedroom pictures showed corner windows, I thought there would at least be a breeze at night, but it was dead air. I bought a fan on my first day just to make it through the nights (left it behind). Even with the fan, the nights were hot, humid and uncomfortable. The location is great though, so as long as the weather is cool or you're a partier and don't plan on sleeping much, it should be fine.

Location was great-one block from the beach. Quiet street, yet within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Apartment was small and cozy - perfect for two people. Furniture was a bit dated but the bed was comfortable for a good night sleep. Would stay there again.

Great location and space for two people, steps from the beach. As others have mentioned, parking space is tight so don’t even think about trying to park a large vehicle.

Location is perfect!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property on Mission Beach. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a long weekend getaway with my spouse. The location is perfectly situated between the Pacific Beach businesses and the Mission Beach businesses. We parked our car when we arrived and didn’t get back in until we were ready to leave. We look forward to visiting again.

Great place and location
We had some issues at a hotel/resort we were staying at and have stayed at foe years. We found the house on the VRBO website and checked out of the hotel and stayed 4 days at the rental. We had a great time and really enjoyed the place. We will definently be back again.

Just what we needed!
Our stay was perfect. The studio was bright, airy, clean and spacious. The four of us appreciated the convenience of walking to the beach and bay at will. Grocery stores and restaurants were abundant. Most of our meals were cooked/grilled on site. This made for a relaxing evening after a fun filled day, kayaking, bike riding, and sailboarding. What a wonderful week of vacation!
