Adorable Beachy Cottage in the heart of Mission Beach! Close To EVERYTHING!

The perfect place for your perfect beach vacation! This Mission Beach charmer is just 3 doors down from Mission Bay and just a minute's walk to the ocean, Belmont Park and the famous Big Dipper Roller Coaster, as well as many restaurants/activities. The location couldn't be more central!
Great for a family of 4 or two couples. The large patio allows for a great place to relax or have a BBQ! And the one-car garage is a commodity in Mission Beach. With hardwood floors, lots of light in the living room, a flat screen TV, fully stocked kitchen, free wi-fi, and all the beach equipment you will need (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, beach towels), this is a great place to spend your next vacation. Just bring your flip flops and sunscreen!
We have beach cruisers, a 2 person kayak and paddle boards available for a nominal rental fee, ready for your use when you arrive. Each unit has exclusive use of their own side of the patio with patio table and 4 chairs. Black out curtains in the bedroom are a plus for sleeping in or snoozing after a fun day in the sun.
And if you have a baby, we offer free use of our pack and play, umbrella stroller and portable high chair!

Our stay at the cottage was everything we imagined it to be! Our expectations were exceeded & we cannot wait to stay again! The cottage is perfect for our small family, plus two dogs. The accommodations were very clean. The location was perfect for us to be able to walk along the bay or to the beach!

Amazing home!!

This home was perfect! Had everything we needed for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and futon. The owner left the cutest message on the kitchen board for our family and fur-babies. The owner made us feel welcomed. She also left my fur-babies treats and dog bowls. The home also had many usable items for the beach. It came with a washer and dryer which was very convenient. It was a perfect home close and walking distance to the beach, bay area, belmont park, shops and restaurants. The owner was also fast with communication and was very kind. I recommend this home 10/10.

Fabulous Stay

The cottage is in the perfect location! Steps from the bay, blocks from the beach and Belmont Park and close to so many restaurants. It had everything you would need including rentable bikes, SUPs and a kayak. Enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the front patio. Garage was a bonus. Karin and Mark were easy to work with and very accommodating. Easy check in and check out process.

Great long term stay

Second time staying at this property for 2 months. It’s perfect for one person and could easily accommodate two and a dog (I brought my dog). Property is clean and close to everything I needed. The Fit Athletic club, ocean beach/riffs yoga studio, blue palm coffee shop and the beach and bay. I’ll definitely come back to spend time in the sun! Owner is incredibly responsive and kind as well :)

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!! Within 5 miles or 15 minutes of most attractions. Parking is limited and difficult. Street parking limited and more remote. Off-street parking inside the garage is difficult - Narrow alley-way must be clear and vehicle must be backed into the smaller, narrow garage. (Compact SUV, Toyota RAV4, difficult)

Wonderful!

We loved our stay at Karin's place. The location was awesome, easy access to everything. She was even kind enough to let us check in early so our baby could nap while the place was still being cleaned. We loved the outside porch area, it was perfect for our toddler. I also was very impressed with the kitchen pots/pans, dishes etc. You never know what you are going to get sometimes and we appreciate nice cookware! Thank you Karin for such an awesome stay for our famiy.

Cute, clean and great location

We enjoyed our stay, the cottage is in a great location, walkable to the beach, bay, restaurants and shops. I like that the extra beds are futons and not sofa beds with springs, those are never comfortable. The host was very organized, friendly and quick to respond to our needs. The only challenge for us was parking in the garage. It is narrow and the alley is not very deep. We had to move 5 or 6 yucky trash bins that are stored against the back alley wall in order for me to get in and out of the garage. I have a Ford Flex which was an exact fit. Overall, a great place and we would definitely rent it again.

Review Of Stay

Situated nicely between Mission Beach and Mission Bay. It is of our opinion that a VRBO/ Hotel etc.. should have a Quality bed and linen. This unit did not! Very uncomfortable. Parking was also limited.

Perfect Quick Trip Getaway

My daughter and I enjoyed our short stay at the cottage. I appreciated the owner's attention to detail and thorough communication. She was always timely and kind in her responses. We most enjoyed the convenience of renting bikes directly from the owners and having them waiting for us when we arrived. The kitchen has every item you could possibly need (quality too) and you just can't beat the location!! A little noisy with the shared wall and the back unit but nothing we couldn't deal with. We will be going back!!

Beautiful property!

We love the location and this cute little house was perfect! It was very clean and well appointed. My 12-year-old daughter loves to boogie board so we walked to the ocean everyday. ❤️ We also rented the bikes and paddle boards from this property and had a blast around the bay! We will definitely be back! Highly recommend.
