Lovely Beach Cottage w/AC, Parking & large patio!

* Note - If this property is booked, or does not suite your needs, please see my other Mission Bay Rentals - VRBO #497367 and #657994

This unique home is both private and quiet while still being in the center of all Mission Bay has to offer.

Located next door to the Catamaran Hotel and Spa with its gorgeous groomed beach with volleyball courts and much more...

The property is a unique 2 bedroom 1 bath plus sofa bed. One bedroom is on the main floor and the other is over the garage (via a interior stairway from the kitchen).

A full modern kitchen and a large living area with 48" flat screen TV.

Perfect for a couple, small families, or friend trips. The sand is but 30 ft away with a sandy path access to the beach through the patio.

The large courtyard is situated at the end of the cul de sac on Yarmouth Court. There is a beautiful tin roofed pergola, bar height table, seating for 8 amongst the palm trees. There are also two sun loungers, and propane barbecue. Perfect for barbecuing or lounging with a good book. (Patio is shared with the upstairs unit and we do not allow events or parties: please refer to our house rules before booking.)

An interior remodel was completed in 2023. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need.

2 Queen size beds with white 500 plus thread count sheets, down and feather duvets and pillows in all bedrooms. Along with the crystal lamps throughout (dimmer controlled) and the candle light, you can't help but completely relax and be on holiday.

We include these items so you can enjoy your stay without incurring extra costs:

Boogie Boards
Beach Chairs
Sand Toys
Umbrellas
Washer/Dryer
(these items are located in the garage and shared with the one bedroom upstairs unit)

This cottage is absolutely beautiful! It was the perfect location for my family to stay while we explored San Diego. It contained everything we needed - my girls loved the paddle board and the communication with Molly and Shaz was super quick-they really did go above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Thank you for having us!

Great stay in Mission Beach!
We stayed at this property to move our daughter from New York to San Diego State University. House was clean And have everything we needed. Check-in was a breeze and everyone was super responsive when I had questions. Just be aware, if you have a large car, it will be difficult to park in the driveway. We rented a large vehicle to bring all of my daughters items to school. Did not realize how tight the driveway is. Also pay attention to the directions and the welcome email . The house is slightly tricky to find in the driveway is not down the same street that the house is on.. Other than that, it was perfect for what we needed, right nearby restaurants, we were able to walk to get food. Great location!

Long weekend getaway
This was the perfect spot to spend a 14th birthday! Very close to beach and Woodys. Which has the best breakfast. Great location and easy to get around. House is stylishly decorated and maintains good temperature. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal. We loved our stay in San Diego and would definitely recommend this property.

It was a great house
The location couldn’t have been better. Semi private walking path right to mission bay next to the catamaran resort. Straight path way to Mission beach, cross one street. The beach accessories were perfect; chairs, umbrella, mats, boogie boards, shovels and buckets. One of the SUP was new, the other missing a handle and hard to carry. Walking or biking distance to everything (we wished there were more bikes!) Kitchen was well stocked, decor and furnishings were clean and well appointed. I would say to future renters to make sure your car is small because the driveway was super narrow. There is street parking but for convenience the driveway is nice just narrow! We would rent this place again and again. Washer and dryer was so helpful! Family of 4: kids 11 and 8. The house was really good and clean. It was cool that the house came with all the sand toys and boards. The TV was a good TV it had all the movies and all the things to watch everything. I give this house a 5 star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Carter 11

Wonderful stay at a wonderful place
Communication was spot on. Molly responded right away. We absolutely loved the location! We walked everywhere and if we needed to go further away we just Uber or Lyft. Really no need for a car. The place itself is beautifully decorated, plenty of dishes, cups etc. It was great having beach chairs available from the garage and hopefully next time we'll use the paddle boards with warmer weather! The space heater came in handy as we had a few chilly nights. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Awesome location in San Diego!
To start, I have to say that the location of this house is great; it's within walking distance of so many great places to eat, drink, and just hang out. In one direction, you're on the bay side, but head in the other direction and you're on the ocean. I would 100% book this location again. There are a couple of things I would like to note, though. 1) This is a duplex, we rented the lower half that has 2 rooms, one of the rooms is "upstairs", which I'm guessing is right next to the other upper unit; I was able to hear our neighbors throughout the night and that was kind of a bummer, but not anything that would keep me from booking again. 2) Finding the house was difficult - even using the recommended map app and I think a lot of that had to do with the gps just not really understanding where the house is, as you have to go down a small alley to get to the driveway. With that, I was able to drop a pin at the end of the alley instead of using the address and that worked out much better when we were venturing out and navigating back. Otherwise, our stay was great! The house really feels like the perfect little beach cottage. The owner has a binder full of recommendations for places to eat, drink and hike in the area and we actually used that way more often than we thought we would, it was so helpful! The owner was also very very helpful and super communicative! The whole experience was great, I would recommend staying here!!

Disappointing sad run down property
This property is sandwiched between the main Mission Beach and Bay side near a resort. The property is run down, in need of some TLC, and a decent clean. The security is poor due to ill fitting front door, which had huge gaps around the frame. Property has a public access thru the small patio area to the Bay side which was used by locals. Upstairs was rented for a few days, quiet couple. Positive... excellent walking area. Beach side lots of good people watching. Negative... poor selection of mid priced restaurants. Hotel restaurants good food but small portions & overpriced. Garage door broken (not quirky as per instructions). Side gate off its hinges. We did enjoy the laundry facilities and having our own kitchen.

Great multi-unit location
The two units provided a perfect home for a week for our 4-adult family. The units are well maintained and stocked, and the location is very convenient for bay, beach, coffee and food. The patio was great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Mornings can be a bit loud with workers from the adjacent hotel but being early risers that didn’t bother us. Communication with Chaz and Molly was great, definitely a place to come back to!

Great stay
We booked both units. We had a great time at this place. Very cute outdoor patio. Lots of beach supplies, the stand up paddle boards provided great entertainment. We walked to the bay and had coffee everyday, walked to the beach. Tons of restaurants and shops walking distance. Some of the cooking supplies needs an upgrade if you plan to cook. But other than that it was a great stay. We would book again.

Good location, but outdated property
On a positive note, super close to the bay beach which is super convenient. And, the welcome snacks and note were nice touches. However, I feel obligated to share some issues with property. First, I never received check in information. Rather, I had to call the contact and ask for checkin info. Typically, instructions for checkin would be sent day of arrival. When I called Shaz she gave me the info but later responded checkin wasn’t until 4pm. However, the VRBO site states checkin is 3 pm. Big issue… the site is actually 2 separate apartments, not one. So, it was suboptimal for our family. Bigger issue… super old and in need of major renovation. We stayed at a renovated property the week before and it was a let down to stay here. Biggest issue… while you can see the bay and sea world fireworks (which is cool), the property is adjacent to the maintenance area of a hotel and they start working (loudly) before 6am! Would not stay at this property again! With a renovation this could be a gem. Keith
