The BEST of the best on Mission Bay!

Come join us for the best of the best on the sand in Mission Beach. Our beach house has unobstructed views of Mission Bay and you can enjoy the nightly summmer fireworks show from the large private deck.

The master bedroom (aka Captain's Quarters) has a comfy California king bed and a bathroom with a shower, jacuzzi tub, bidet and walk in closet.

There are two more bedrooms down the hall, the Crew's Quarters with a comfy queen bed and the Mermaid room with a comfy queen bed. Off the hall are both a guest bathroom and a full bathroom.

The kitchen is a cooks dream with a panoramic view of the water and all the amenities you will need, including built in appliances.

We are located just down the sidewalk from the Catamaran Resort where the Bahia Belle and William D Evans (both sternwheelers) dock nightly. This property is right on Sail Bay across from The Aquatic Center! There is a private elevator that services this property. We also provide a laundy room with a washer and dryer.

We welcome you to come experience it for yourself!

This was truly a beautiful place to stay! From walking in the front door and looking out over the gorgeous bay, to the comfy beds, the very well stocked kitchen, to the convenient location, our annual girl's trip LOVED it here!! We enjoyed sitting outside watching the fish jump and the dolphins in the bay, as well as the stunning sunrise. We enjoyed walking to various local restaurants, stores, and the beach. Our host was so very responsive and so very kind to share this wonderful place with us!

This condo location is perfect. The view of Sail Bay never gets old. Sunrise is my favorite. The balcony is large enough to accommodate a group of 6 easily. It is close enough to walk to many good restaurants. If you’d like to walk on the boardwalk or the beach it is a short 5 minute walk away. Susie is a great host.

We had a wonderful stay. Susie, our host, was just wonderful. She was helpful, kind and responsive. Her home is immaculate and beautiful. The pictures are what you get. The view is more than fantastic and the location is terrific. There are so many good places to eat within a stone's throw. This is a wonderful place for a family or couples trip, I would recommend to anyone.

I would highly recommend this property. Five of us stayed and had more than enough room. Very nice deck overlooking the bay and only a two block walk to the ocean side. Several unique restaurants within easy walking distance. The location is within a 20 minute drive of anything you would want to see in the metro area, Gas Lamp district, Little Italy, Museums, etc.

This Mission Bay property was perfect for my husband and me and our two traveling companions. The location is ideal for exploring the San Diego area, although it was hard to tear ourselves away from the terrific balcony view. The condo itself is comfortable, clean and well-stocked (preparing dinner was a breeze!) and Susie is a wonderful host. Five stars all around!
