Tucked along one of Mission Beach’s charming pedestrian courts, this bright and breezy beach cottage combines coastal charm, designer details, and an unbeatable walkable location.

Just 1/2 block to Mission Bay and a short stroll to the ocean, cafés, coffee shops, and restaurants, this is the perfect home base for families, couples, and friends looking to experience the best of San Diego beach living.

The cottage features warm wood finishes, vintage-inspired coastal décor, a sunny south-facing porch, and thoughtful touches throughout that make it feel cozy, relaxed, and welcoming from the moment you arrive.

This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests and is full of character and beach-house charm.

The bright living room features:
- Beautiful hardwood floors
- A stunning stone fireplace
- Smart TV with cable + complimentary YouTubeTV
- Comfortable seating and coastal décor
- Lots of natural light and ocean breezes

The fully stocked kitchen includes:
- Quartz countertops
- Stainless steel appliances
- Gas stove
- Coffee maker
- Everything needed for cooking meals at home

Sleeping arrangements:
- Bedroom 1: Queen bed
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed
- Bedroom 3: Custom-built cedar bunk room with its own TV

All beds feature high quality linens, comfortable mattresses, and soft bedding designed for a great night’s sleep after a day at the beach.

The bathroom includes a beautifully refinished clawfoot tub, subway tile, and antique-inspired vanity that fits perfectly with the cottage’s relaxed coastal style.

And the real highlight...

The sunny private front porch is the perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, or simply relaxing and people-watching after a beach day. The porch includes outdoor seating, café lighting, and a propane BBQ grill.

Because the cottage faces south, the porch gets wonderful sunshine throughout the day.

Guests have access to the entire cottage, private porch, BBQ, and detached garage.

Please note:
- The half bath is located off the laundry room.
- Garage dimensions are approximately 186 inches long x 106 inches wide. Compact and midsize vehicles fit best.
- We have set up the garage so that the door can remain open if needed, allowing for approximately 4 additional feet of vehicle length for larger SUVs or trucks.

Free street parking is generally available within a few blocks for additional vehicles, though parking can become difficult during summer weekends and holidays.

Mission Beach is one of San Diego’s most popular beach neighborhoods... everyone wants to be here.

Located in the heart of Mission Beach:

- 1/2 block to Mission Bay
- 1.5 blocks to the ocean
- Walk to Olive Café, Better Buzz, The Mission, bars, restaurants & shops
- About 1/2 mile to Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach with shopping, bars, Trader Joe’s, Vons, yoga studios, gyms, and nightlife
- 1 block to the nearest bus stop
- 1 mile to Belmont Park and the historic beachfront roller coaster
- Short drive to SeaWorld, Downtown, Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and many of San Diego’s best neighborhoods

One of the best parts of staying here is that you can park your car and walk almost everywhere.

An information booklet is provided with local recommendations, favorite restaurants, coffee shops, beaches, hikes, and fun things to do around San Diego.

Please note:
- Quiet hours are strictly enforced from 10pm to 8am
- No parties or events
- No unapproved visitors
- Guests not listed on the reservation must leave during quiet hours

This cottage is best suited for guests looking for a relaxed beach vacation rather than a party house atmosphere.

Air Conditioning
- The cottage features a mini-split AC system located in the main living area along with ceiling fans throughout the home.
- The setup keeps the cottage comfortable most of the year, though during extreme heat waves the bedrooms may be slightly warmer than homes with full central AC systems.

We really enjoyed our stay at this Mission Beach property. The location was fantastic—close to everything and perfect for enjoying the beach. The home itself was a great size for our family and had nice amenities that made the stay comfortable.The only concern we had was that we tend to get very cold at night, and the listing didn’t mention heating. Unfortunately, the heating and air-conditioning unit were not working during our stay. That said, the management company was very responsive and thoughtful—they provided extra blankets and portable heaters, which we really appreciated and helped make the nights much more comfortable.Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend the property for its location, space, and the helpfulness of the management team.

Fabulous Family Vacation

We had the best time at this rental. We loved being steps away from the beach. Some highlights included- using all of the beach things the host provided ( it was one less thing I had to think to pack so thank you ), having a playground and sports facilities nearby, walking distance to Belmont Park, the ocean, and yummy food, we loved having a designated parking space, the front porch was delightful, and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The size of property was perfect for our family of 5. San Diego is one of our favorite places, and we will be booking again if we come back.

Nice beach house right off the bay and blocks from the ocean

We enjoyed the kitchen and living space the house offered. The location offered good access to the active beach scen, but was also quiet enough for just the two of us to enjoy and relax. And, the host was available for questions, and made our stay a positive one. Thank you.Marc and Amy

Great Property

This property is well located, clean and excellent communication with owner. I would absolutely book this location again. We had 4 adults and two kids and the space worked very well. Proximity to beach is excellent. It was very quiet in the evening and the airflow was great with the windows cracked.

Cute spot

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 year old and had a great time. We were steps from the bay and a short walk to the beach. The location couldn’t be any better. Molly was a great host. The dryer had some issues during our stay and she offered a temporary solution and had it serviced ASAP. We did find quickly that there were pesky ants. We were diligent on not keeping food out and cleaning up right away. It is known issue and addressed in the book provided by the host.

Location was great! But…

Location was perfect & is where we are use to staying. It’s walkable to so many great places to eat & the beach is about 2 min walk & the bay 20 secs away. The house was so charming & lovely given its tiny size. We loved the little touches of a welcome basket! so thoughtful & appreciated. But we wouldn’t stay again due to the beds being so small. We couldn't sleep comfortably, it’s just too small of a space for my husband & our two kids. This would be the perfect place for a couple to have a romantic getaway. But we enjoyed our trip & had a great time. Communication with Molly was great very responsive & friendly.
