Excellent vacation rental for my family.

We loved our stay in Balboa 816, it was perfect for my family. It was very clean and had everything we needed to make our Easter meal. Location is great and our favorite place was the sunny patio. Drift was easy to work with and was quick to answer our questions. We will be back next year.

Excellent property, excellent location

This was an excellent property, easy owners to work with. Easy access to the beaches on the bay and on the ocean. I admit, from the listing, I thought we would be right on the beach. We were about 100 yards and several units off the beach. But it was still an excellent location.

Great place to stay with family

My family and I spent 4 days in this rental over fall break. We had a great time. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, so we were able to make all of our meals. It's very spacious, so there was plenty of room for all 5 of us to be comfortable. It was easy to get to ocean side of Mission to enjoy the beach, but located on the bay side, so a bit quieter. I would definitely recommend for families.

Great house. Great location. We really enjoyed it.

The house was just as it looked in the pictures. Clean & well maintained. It was less than a minute walk to the beaches on either side (bay or ocean). Lots of beach toys in the garage. Our kids absolutely loved it. And the BBQ & A/C worked great. If I had to be picky, the only thing that proved difficult was fitting a mini-van inside the garage. It's very tight. But we got it in there. Just make sure to fold your side view mirrors in. And the next door neighbor REALLY doesn't like it if you pull in front of her walkway near the garage. But after she made a few colorful comments from her balcony, she went back into her place. No big deal. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back!

Great House, Great Location, Great Host!

Loved everything about it. Traveled with 6 adults and a toddler - there was plenty of room for all of us. House was very well stocked with EVERYTHING we needed - to include beach chairs and beach towels. Outdoor patio was fantastic. We cooked all meals at the house and never moved our car. Small (expensive) market 2 blocks away along with a great little coffee stand and taco shop. Perfect. Host was very helpful with all of our questions. Overall 5 stars! Only negative is the garage is SMALL. Small sedan barely fit with a lot of tries, but the beach parking at the end of Mission Beach was great for our other vehicle. There is also a lady in the house next door that yelled at us during arrival and departure while unpacking/packing our cars, for what she thought was excessive noise (during the middle of the day....) We didn't let her ruin our stay :). Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful home

We stayed here with our adult children and one grandchild. The house is in a great location and very convenient to either Mission Bay or the ocean. There are a lot of great food options nearby, and the Mission Market was well stocked for random items we forgot. The house had everything we needed for cooking in a few times, as well as more than enough items like trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, and laundry soap (many places just furnish the bare minimum, but we didn't run out of anything the entire week!). The outside patio was lovely and we spent a lot of time there. The fire pit was a nice touch and the grill worked great. There were only two small issues. First, the master bed makes very loud creaking/groaning noises when you move or roll over, which isn't that big of a deal but a little annoying. Second, the parking is pretty tight, but that is the case everywhere in Mission Beach. Neither of these things would keep us from staying here again, just for information purposes. The property manager responded promptly to all requests and I would highly recommend this home!!!
