Fun Christmas!
My wife and I, son, DIL, and grandkids really enjoyed our 8-day stay in this Mission Bay property. What makes it extra special is its great location right on the bay with beautiful views and on-property parking!. This 3rd story condo was very clean, comfortably furnished, had a well-stocked kitchen (especially important for last minute Christmas baking), and comfortable beds. We had a minor maintenance issue that was quickly resolved. Our hostess, Susie, was exceptionally communicative and responsive, one of the best we’ve delt with over the many VRBO stays. While everything is clean and functional, the kitchen and bathrooms could use some updating. We would definitely recommend this property to others.

Bayside views
Second stay here, love the views from deck/patio : morning sunshine and evening sunsets, fireworks at night! Stayed a different week this year and lots more little kiddos around and below us so not quite as calm and relaxing on the beach below. Spent more time beachside as a result. Love this place and being on the bay .

Our week at this lovely, comfy condo was perfect. Our view of Mission Bay was soothing and colorful when Sea World shot off fireworks in the evening. The location was ideal for long walks along the ocean. Susie was great at responding to any and all questions in a timely manner.

Cannot say enough good things about this property
The property is a third floor unit overlooking the beautiful Mission Bay. It is perfectly located within easy walking distance of numerous restaurants. It backs up to a large bayside beach and is only a block away from the ocean. The unit is very spacious, very clean, and has all amenities you could ever need. The owner, Susie, is super responsive and courteous. It was a perfect vacation!

Just awesome!
We love this place so much, this is the first time we've done a return visit! The house is always clean and very well maintained. The view of the bay is just spectacular and never fails to bring that "wow" factor as soon as you walk in the door. Every detail has been very well thought out that makes your stay very comfortable and makes you feel at home. Susie is so great to work with, from preparing for your arrival to when you sadly have to leave and return to reality. Thank you for giving us our best vacations ever Susie!

Mission Bay Heaven
Everything about this stay was perfect. The condo was gorgeous. Steps from the bay, the views were awesome. The kitchen and living room had spectacular views out over the bay and at night the lights were amazing. The kitchen was big enough for multiple folks to be chopping and cooking and had everything needed. Back the other way, we were minutes from the ocean and could take the chairs and board and spend the day. Scrupulously clean, best shower I've been in and the views mean we will be back as often as we can.

Perfect location and accommodations
My two sisters and I stayed here, and we found it to be perfect for us. The view is fantastic and the furnishings were very comfortable, which was good because we had to cancel two days of activities due to the worst weather San Diego has ever endured. It has the best-equipped VRBO kitchen that I have seen. Susie was very easy to work with and even called to check on us during the storm. We would go back in a heartbeat!!

The BEST in Mission Beach ? NO LIE!
We had two Seniors - Two millennials and one 6 year old. Our host, Susie, accommodated all three age groups from an elevator (we were on the third floor) to beach toys (we literally were ten steps from sand). Communications with Susie were smooth as butter and the pictures of the condo are TRUE to form enhanced only buy the sunrise views and two block walk to the ocean. THANK YOU Susie... we hope to have a return trip!
