Please note that we have occupancy based pricing in our settings. Please select the correct number of people in your group at the time of booking to get the correct pricing for your stay. Keep in mind, if you add more people to your group after booking the rate may adjust slightly. There is an additional charge of $20 per night for each additional person after the initial 2 people. This keeps our rates low and affordable for our average group size for this listing and helps us charge an appropriate fee for the additional linens and utilities used by a larger group size. Thank you for understanding.
The space is quite small and compact. We recommend this unit for just 1 or 2 people. A small family with 1 or 2 small kids could possibly work. The space is 250 square feet.
The property has a small 2-person jacuzzi. If you would like to use the jacuzzi please let us know in advance. We charge an $40 cleaning fee for it to be professionally cleaned after each stay. Please be clean of sand and sunscreen before entering the jacuzzi. If there is excess sand after your stay there is an additional $100 for draining the jacuzzi.
Please note: The jacuzzi hours are 8 am - 9:00 pm.
The bedroom gets plenty of light with a built in skylight so if you want to sleep in we recommend an eye mask to block out the light and ear plugs so you don't hear the street sweepers in the morning at approx 9 am.
There is a fantastic surf spot at the beach out front for beginners to the advanced surfer and great for the spectator as well. (For those who follow surfing, even Andy Irons stayed in our guest house and surfed in the ocean out front). My husband is an avid surfer and surfs out front daily. He has lived here for over 30 years and knows many of the locals in Mission Beach. He can point you to all the best surf spots in San Diego County. And we have two world class board shapers who live on our court in case you want to get a new surfboard while you are here.
If you need laundry done there is a laundromat within walking distance that offers drop-off service at an affordable weight based fee. You can just drop it off in the morning and they will have it ready and neatly folded for you in the afternoon.
We can connect you up with a company that sets up private bonfires on the beach. Includes set up and take down, portable steel fire drum, roasting sticks, hot dogs, and s'mores. Inquire for details.
Want family pictures on the beach? What better backdrop for a group shot than the stunning backdrop of the ocean or bay at sunset! If you are interested we can arrange for a local portrait photographer to do a photo session of your family on the beach. ($200 for 30 minute session including digital images.) Let us know in advanced if you're interested and we can make an appointment with the photographer during your stay.
The guest house is thoroughly cleaned between each stay. However if you wish for a cleaning and change of linens during your stay we can arrange for the housekeeper to come for an additional charge of the standard cleaning fee. Please give us one day's notice so we can get this scheduled.
Janet & Scott are your hosts. We are a husband and wife team and we live nearby. We own and operate Mission Beach Villas, a highly rated vacation rental management business in San Diego.
We are available 7 am to 10 pm to answer questions during your stay.
Our storefront rental office, Mission Beach Villas, is a mile away as well, so if you need anything feel free to stop by! 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.
Before your stay, we are happy to suggest our favorite restaurants, and tourist attractions and will help you get acquainted with the area.
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, bigger property line and a backyard that you are free to enjoy. It is far enough (1 mile) north of the roller coaster area so it's very removed from the tourist noise. We are off of the main boulevard and on one of the tiny inner courts with friendly neighbors and a quiet homey atmosphere.
The best thing about our neighborhood is that there is so much within walking distance that you may not need a car. You could just take a taxi from the airport (6 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. It is within 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, water ski boats, and even jet packs. There are group classes and private lessons available in all of these activities. What's more there are free yoga classes on the beach each day.
It is equally centered between Belmont Park (the roller coaster area) and Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, which are both 1 mile away, making this location accessible to the action if that's what you want.
You will have private access to the back guest house. You can enter the property through either our shared front gate or shared back gate and go directly to the back patio where the guest house is located. You may come and go as you please.
We offer keyless entry to make your arrival as easy as possible. There are no keys to lose, just a simple 4 digit passcode to remember.
The back patio area is shared with your hosts, though we don't use it much. You are welcome to hangout on the patio and use the fire pit, barbecue and tiki bar. We mainly use the front patio for ourselves and our son. We do pass through the patio space occasionally when we take our trash out or when we go out to our cars located behind the home.
Included with the rental is the use of a surfboards, boogie boards, beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, sand toys for the kids, and use of our beach cruiser bikes.
If you bring a car we will provide you with one parking space. Keep in mind that the space will accommodate only a mid-sized car. A mini van or compact SUV might fit but anything larger will need to park on the street. Street parking is free but can be difficult to find during the summer months. If you rent a car, we recommend selecting an economy to midsize car. Please let us know in advanced if you are bringing a car.
