A place so great, I want to rate it bad so no one else knows about it

To be honest, this has been been my favoriteVRBO property that I have stayed in in the last few years. Location is great, and layout was great for the people we had. The indoor / outdoor space was awesome to open up, have some morning coffee and read the paper.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect. Our biggest decision every day was whether to go to the bay or the beach! There are two coffee shops within walking distance (loved the Funky Lemon) and several restaurants. We loved the walkability. The house was clean and we loved the outdoor sitting area.

Mission Beach Beauty

This house in Mission Beach, San Diego was spotless and perfectly located just one block from the beach and Belmont Park amusement area. It’s an ideal spot for families looking to enjoy the sun, sand, and nearby attractions. The convenience and cleanliness made our stay comfortable and memorable. Both kids had their own room and place to relax during down time. Definitely a must-use property if you’re visiting Mission Beach!

Quick staycation at beach (fumigation vacation)

We needed a nice spot where my 83 year old parents would feel comfortable and be able to have their dog with them, while their house was being fumigated. This spot helped lower the stress and gave us several days to relax. A couple small issues in kitchen were addressed promptly by the host and communication was excellent throughout.

Only downside—no hot tub or game room

Small seaside cottage within walking distance of all the action. No noisy neighbors (all the adjacent houses seem original seaside size) or businesses is a huge plus. The cozy place has updated kitchen and bathrooms which are fabulous. Great patio with lush privacy screens aka vegetation and away from cars. TVs in all the rooms and the beds were super soft—we all slept in.

Neat vacation home between the beach and the bay!

My husband and I invited my 76yo mother to this vacation home to celebrate her birthday and this house was perfect for us. The indoor and outdoor deck spaces are very comfortable. We all had enough privacy while also enjoying the open kitchen, living room and beautiful deck area together. Easy check-in/out, great host communication, fast reliable WiFi, comfortable beds, and fantastic hot water and water pressure that lasted for all three of our daily showers. Easy walking distance to the bay and to the ocean boardwalk. We had a great trip to this vacation rental and have it tagged for future trips. 10/10!
