If you have an early flight, you may stow your luggage at our office so you can go to lunch or hang out on the beach until check-in time. And if you have an afternoon flight on checkout day you may also stow luggage. Just coordinate these details with us and we are happy to accommodate. Please note, we charge a small nominal fee for luggage storage.

Before your stay, we are happy to suggest our favorite restaurants, and tourist attractions and will help you get acquainted with the area.

This property is located right across the street from the ocean. There is a pedestrian crosswalk to get across the blvd. You can also walk to Mission Bay only a few houses away. The neighborhood is very friendly, just say hello and your neighbors will be willing to pass any info on what to do or where to go.

The best thing about the neighborhood is that there is so much within walking distance that you will not need a car. You could just take a taxi or Uber/Lyft from the airport (7 miles away), get dropped off here and you're at the beach! We have local restaurants, trendy beach bars, excellent coffee spots, and breakfasts cafes all within a few short blocks. Sea World is just 3 miles away.

Recreational opportunities abound. This beach rental is a few minutes walking distance to Santa Clara point where there are numerous recreation activities and rentals available including: stand up paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis, windsurfing, catamarans, sail boats, and water ski boats.

The location is the best spot of all of Mission Beach. It is on the south side of Santa Clara Place (the only traffic light in North Mission Beach), which means a non commercial area. It is far enough (1 mile) north of the roller coaster area so it's fairly removed from the crowd noise.

We offer digital keypad entry for easy self check-in. There are no keys to lose, just a simple 4 digit passcode to remember.

This property is ideal for guests arriving via Uber or taxi. A dedicated parking space is not offered for this listing but there is free public parking on the street . Also there is a large free parking lot on Santa Clara Point nearby with a 5 minute walk. Keep in mind that parking can be challenging during the summer months and on weekends due to the proximity to the beach.

If you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway look no further!

It is positioned in the ♡ of Mission Beach, a gorgeous beach community on a super narrow strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and Mission Bay. Walk in either direction (West or East) and you'll encounter pristine white beaches. Both sides have wide boardwalks for bicycle riding or walking. On the bay-side you'll enjoy a relaxing sail bay with a calm atmosphere, while on the ocean-side you'll enjoy ocean waves for surfing and a lively beach scene. Either way, you'll call it paradise. We simply call it home!

The vacation rental features a studio bedroom, one bathroom, and a fully supplied kitchen. It's approximately 250 sq feet.

The kitchen includes a stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and a Keurig coffee maker. We supply you with all the cooking pans, dishes, and utensils you might need. There are the usual kitchen gadgets such as bottle openers and cork screws.

The vacation rental comes supplied with all the basics you'd expect at any hotel like a hair dryer and iron. Plus you have a kitchen and living room to enjoy. We think of everything you might need and even stock you with beach towels so you don't need to pack those in your suitcase. Why stay at a hotel when you can stay in the comfort of your own home in a friendly neighborhood? Vacation like a local.

This property does NOT include a dedicated parking space and therefore this unit is mainly recommended for people traveling without a car and arriving via taxi or Uber/Lyft. Due to its location across from the beach, street parking can be very challenging, especially during the summer months, late at night, or sunny weekends the rest of the year. Once you get here there is no need for a car. The beach is just across the street and there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance.

We supply a portable AC unit during the peak summer months (July - Sept). Like a hot car, the apartment might be hot when you first arrive. due to the windows being shut. To rapidly cool down the apartment, simply open the windows and open the screened front door while running the ceiling fan and the place should cool down in minutes with the cool ocean breeze. Once the hot air is pushed out then run the AC.

This studio apartment is approx 350 square feet. There is a Queen sofa bed that converts to a couch by day and a bed by night. It's at the back of a 6 unit apartment building and is located right on the main boulevard that runs through Mission Beach.
