Cozy Beach Cottage, Walk to Everything! 2bed/1bath

Perfect for friends and families in an ideal location: 1/2 block from the Bay, 1 block to shops and restaurants, and 1 1/2 blocks to Ocean! You will love this beautiful cottage.

This cozy cottage is a stand alone house and, unlike many other beach properties, it is equipped with AIR CONDITIONING and a parking spot big enough for an SUV.

A perfect 2-bedroom, 1 bath that is great for a family or small group of friends, or remote workers. WiFi is super fast!

The first bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with 540 thread count sheets, feather duvet & pillows. The second bedroom has desk and a cute trundle bed that converts into two twin beds.

Newly remodeled. The cottage was stripped to the studs in 2018 and has all new drywall, siding, and doors. The furniture and beds are new and very comfortable! The kitchen was remodeled in 2015.

After an adventurous day surfing or paddle-boarding, you can come home to your YouTubeTV & Netflix so you won't miss your favorite show or game! There is also a small table and chairs outside so you can people watch with your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail-a beach staple.

A car is helpful if you want to get to the farther attractions in San Diego such as LegoLand and the Safari Park or if you have a child that needs a car seat.

Otherwise, the best way to get around is to use Uber/Lyft and Bird Scooters... Combining these services is fun and affordable!

****Please note before booking**** If you cancel your reservation at any time after booking, you will forfeit the credit card fees associated with your booking. EVEN IF VRBO says you will receive a full refund.

A Crib can be delivered for a $25 fee.
A Crib and high chair can be delivered for a $35 fee.

Air Conditioning is located in the main living room. With the use of fans, it keeps the entire cottage cool.

Molly McCrackin grew up in San Diego and has been managing short term vacation rentals in the beach area since 2008. The company has grown over the years, but the service and attention to detail has stayed the same.

-- 1/2 block to the bay
-- 1 1/2 blocks to the beach
-- 1 to 3 blocks away from a few amazing cafes and coffee shops.
-- 1/2 mile to Garnet Ave; which makes up the heart of Pacific Beach, where you can find great shopping, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, Trader Joe's, Vons, a 24 hour fitness, many yoga studios, and much more..
-- 1 block to the nearest bus stop.
-- 1 mile to Historic Belmont Park where you can ride the roller coaster, eat some ice cream, and watch the people walk by as you enjoy a drink at one of the oceanfront bars/restaurants.
-- 3 miles to Sea World
-- 8 miles to North Park - The center of hip beer bars and breweries!
--Less than 9 miles to Downtown San Diego and the Gaslamp Quarter; which provide fun night life and more upscale restaurants and bars.
-- 9 miles to the San Diego Zoo and beautiful Balboa Park.
-- 9 miles to the airport and downtown Amtrak station.

I provide an information booklet with lots of recommendations from local restaurants to some of my favorite hikes around San Diego...

Unlike other rentals, there is a large parking spot that comes with the house (A huge plus in the summer months when parking is at a premium). Laundry is also available onsite.

Amazing location, could be cleaner and better
Overall we enjoyed our stay but a few things made the trip feel a bit less than. The biggest upset was our discovery of many, many dust mites on our main bedroom tables. That means curtains, bed sheets, etc are not being washed, dusted and / or vacuumed properly. After seeing the cleaning lady go into the studio cottage next door and leave within an hour without washing linens or doing any major cleaning explained our cottages condition (which is owned by the same person / company). Lots of peeling paint, scuffs from shoes on doors, cobwebs, the place was a bit rough around the edges. The primary bedroom is a very tight fit. If the bed is moved over a few inches, the main door or bedroom door becomes inaccessible. There was a fire / carbon monoxide alarm that went off every 30 minutes. We had to deactivate it ourselves. Then we had trouble with the bedroom fan remotes so we had to resort to using the air conditioner. Trash pick up is early Tuesday morning so you will hear beeping trucks for at least an hour (not a big deal, just worth noting). The owner said the parking spot is big enough for an SUV, but it was tight and right next to our neighbors studio cottage. during our stay we saw one couple check out and a different girl check in. She was able to enter her cottage at 10-11am, which is very early considering the posted check in time was 3pm. That also made me feel slighted because we had an early flight in and it would've been nice to check in early. This was my first s

Cute little home base to enjoy Mission Beach
This little home was the perfect home base for a long weekend. Such an easy, quick walk to the beach. Walking distance to shops, coffee and restaurants. The boogie boards were a huge hit and it was so nice to have bike rentals so close by. Parking might be a challenge if you have a large truck, but our midsize SUV rental fit perfectly. I didn’t realize when booking that it was a jack and Jill bathroom set up, but that worked out just fine. The neighborhood got pretty festive on Saturday/Sunday, but nothing that disrupted our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Great stay near Mission beach
We stayed at this place for about a week and it was a great convenient experience. Walk to the beach is literally 2 -3 minutes. All beach essentials were provided. Nice beach house decor and vibe. Cafes, restaurants all within walking distance. Enjoyed evening boardwalk strolls.

Very clean and cozy
Molly was a very accommodating host, very thoughtful with her touches, and a great communicator. The property was well furnished and prepared, and the place was very clean. The place is on the smaller side, but it worked just fine for our family of three and all of our luggage. She has plenty of places to put away clothes. Beds were comfortable, as was the couch. The parking spot, while tight, was greatly appreciated!

Beautiful Little Cottage
Our stay at Molly’s Mission Beach cottage was exactly what we were looking for when my husband and I booked our anniversary trip. This cute little cottage is a mere few walking minutes from the beach and the bay. We spent some of our days hanging out at the beach, visiting some of the cute little shops, and eating and drinking our way through the many cute little coffee shops, restaurants and bar & grills within walking distance of the place. The rental is a cozy two bedroom that was just enough room to stop by for a rest in between our walks on the beach and trips around the area or crashing at night. It is cute, clean and beachy!!!! Molly was also wonderful to work with before, during and after our stay. Communication was clear and timely. She even remembered it was our anniversary and left us a sweet basket of goodies to celebrate! We would definitely rent this place or from one of Molly’s other places the next time we are in town!

Great Location and Great Host
Great location. Ocean (great for surfing and relaxing), restaurants and stores are all in walking distances. Public transit right in front of door. Very comfortable and cozy place. Bedrooms are a bit small but big enough to spend the night and also enough storage for clothes to hang up and put in drawers. Big kitchen with a 3 chair bar height (salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, some K-cup coffee available to start with etc. included). Comfortable size living room with a 3 seating couch. There is a foldable table and chairs if needed. Molly, the host answered all the questions I had in no time. We will definitely stay here again when visiting San Diego.

Cute place in a fab location!
Lovely little home near beach and within walking distance is lots of restaurants. Really the perfect spot to enjoy the beach with our grandkids. We only had one small challenge. We arrived late at night and it was quite tough to find the place and the parking spot requires some skill to use. When we walked outside the next morning and saw where we were we were knocked out. Definitely the best location we have ever found in a VRBO.

The cottage was walking distance to everything we needed (coffee, restaurants, the beach) and a short drive to other excursions like the zoo and SeaWorld. We were able to take our kids in the stroller all around mission beach. The only downside with littles is that there is no bath tub.
