Ben's Beach Bungalow 5, cheery Mission Beach 1BR!

Summary:
Just steps to the sand, this property has recently been completely updated to provide you with the feel of beach luxury! This unit is laid out to comfortably sleep 3. 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

We stayed in a one-bedroom upstairs unit which was perfect for us. It is clean and updated, just off the PB boardwalk. Had everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen, beach towels and toys.

Great place to stay
While this isnt beach front, its close enough for those who are cost conscious. We spent most of our time out at the beach or walking around town so this place served our needs. It was clean and well equipped and would definitely recommend it.

Great Location
We enjoyed how close the condo was to the beach and the bay. The condo had everything we needed for the beach. Chairs, towels and even an umbrella. The parking was extremely tight, but we were aware of this when we booked it. It just took some getting used to. We would definitely stay here again!!

Great location, close to beach but off the main pathway. Easy to assess San Diego attractions. They warned us but the parking is quite narrow, best to back in.
