Nothing beats Ocean Front

OCEAN FRONT in the very best area of South Mission Beach.

There really is nothing like being ocean front. A beach vacation is always nice but the difference from being a few blocks away from the ocean and being ocean front is really like being miles apart. This is an opportunity to be ocean front in South Mission Beach one of the premiere locations any where in the world and our location is away from the large parking lots where the beach gets crowded. Many days at our house you'll feel like you are on a private beach. Treat your family to an OCEAN FRONT vacation and you'll never want to stay anywhere else.

Fantastic views from this second floor unit, a five bedroom three bath that comfortably sleeps 12. Downstairs step onto the beach or enjoy our 50 foot wide ocean front patio with tables, loungers and umbrellas with shade. We also have a one bedroom that sleeps four at the same address VRBO 560930.

Beautiful and spacious beach house

What a great location and view. The property looks out over the Pacific Ocean and is just steps from the boardwalk. Our group enjoyed the close access and wonderful ambiance of Mission Beach. We even were surprised by a dolphin pod in the morning that were out hanging with the surfers.

Great

The kitchen needed to be a little bit more clean,especially the microwave and the toaster, but other than that it was great the carpet underneath the dining room table it needs to be tacked down or remove. It was becoming a tripping hazard.

Plenty of Charm in a Perfect Location

My family and I had the best time in San Diego, thanks in large part to this wonderful location right on the beach. Our party included my wife and me (38 & 40), her parents (both 70), and our children plus a girlfriend (21, 20, 14, 6, & 4) and even among that wide range of ages everyone enjoyed this house. Obviously the proximity to the beach and walkability of Mission Beach is the main draw, but the house itself has lots of beachy charm and character. Remember, though, beach houses are hard to keep perfectly clean so if you like sparkling, spotlessly clean you might have to get used to it but it is a beach house. Oh, speaking of, the parking situation is actually decent (tight fit but no weird walls or small garages like lots of these properties have) and the instructions to get in are very clear. I already miss staying here.

Beach bliss

Home is large and spacious which is rare for oceanfront in mission. Clean and nice kitchen. Beautiful beach view from living room. Nice access to small outdoor patio on second floor with bbq grill and beach view. If there was anything to complain about it would have to be the walk downstairs to access the beach view patio - but that was easily overlooked with it being large and spacious. Pro tip- bring a volleyball- you will have access To the many nearby sand courts- we had a blast. Larry is accessible and quick to respond!

Definitely ocean front

This house has an amazing view. The kitchen had a great wolf stove that I love. We had rain so we stayed in one night made dinner and played games. Wasn’t crazy about hauling all our stuff upstairs and down. Wish it had a table and chairs on the top deck. The house was clean and cozy. Just enough beds and baths for 8 of us. But like I said the view was amazing.

Debi & Steve R.

Way overpriced considering overall condition of property; you're paying for views and location only.

Positives: Good location, great view and decent TV Negatives: Way overpriced considering dirty carpet (should be cleaned and/or replaced), dirty windows and display case glasses, crowded living room (should remove out-of-tune piano), couch cushions worn out and sliding off, no secure WiFi as advertised, dining too small for 12, , bad driveway ramp causes cars to scrape, dull cooking knives and worn out sink stopper, worn out chaise lounges, poor communication with owner.

The perfect location!

We had an excellent time at Larry’s beach house. The location can’t be beat, you are steps from the sand, walking distance to nearby coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and Belmont Park. The house is very spacious, we were very comfortable with 7 adults, an 11 year old and a 2 year old. Yes it’s dated, they could reduce the amount of furniture in the unit to make it a bit more spacious, but we’re not paying for esthetics, we paid for the location and view and it worked well for us. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Lots of beach towels on hand. There were beach toys available for the kids, and some boogie boards too. The 2 parking spots were perfect, we had a mini van and small SUV and they fit perfectly. We had a third car and easily found nearby street parking as well (just pay attention to street cleaning days and hours!) My biggest complaint is just the cleanliness of the carpets (need a deep cleaning or replacement) and same with the grill, it could use a good cleaning or replacement, we decided not to use it. Overall the unit was nice and spacious, and again, you can’t beat the view and location!!

Wonderful Beachfront

Three generations of our family really enjoyed the 2nd level of this beach house. There was plenty of space for everyone It was well stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, dish clothes, beach and bath towels, unlike a previous VRBO. The location is great, a short walk to Belmont Park, and sunsets are amazing. Be cautious parking, one of our cars scraped. It was a wonderful stay and we look forward to returning.

MBSD Dual-Celebration

I lived in Mission Beach in my early 20’s. I used to jog to the jetty and I’d see all the families enjoying themselves in the oceanfront rentals, and I said to myself “someday I want to do that with my family.”Well someday came! My sister & I rented this house to celebrate both my niece’s 21st birthday and my son’s graduation from SDSU! It was a wonderful house with plenty of bedrooms & space for our large group. The owner even dropped off an ice chest, upon my request - very appreciated! I would definitely rent it again, if needed. Highly recommend!

It is so cool to have morning coffee on the beach! The area was very nice with lots of things to do. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of room for the 10 of us. We expected to go and do something each day, but we spent a lot more time just walking the area or playing on the beach.
