Ben's Beach Bungalow 5, cheery Mission Beach 1BR!

Good location, accommodation good but shower was very poor. AC wasn’t the best

Great location, really close to the beach.

All I can say is Wow! They really went above and beyond exceeding any expectation I had. The location was great and it was close to everything.

such a great experience! loved the room and how it was so accessible to the beach!!

Property mgr extremely easy to work with. Apartment needed some updating.

Property was very clean. Everything we needed was there. No washer or dryer. Light from outside made the bedroom very bright. Very close to beach and bay, location was excellent. Close to grocery and restaurants. Air conditioning was not adequate for space.

This was our second time staying at this property. Beautiful views. Quiet, clean neighborhoods. We loved our stay. Thank you!!!

Great location, easy walk to Pacific and Mission Beach and bay, morning coffee, restaurants. Quiet at night - even during Spring Break - go down to the boardwalk for the party atmosphere! I came without a car and was happy not having to deal with parking.

The place was perfect size for the wife and myself. It was very clean and check in was easy. The host was quick to respond to couple questions. The parking space was perfect for our Subaru Outback. The kitchen was small but well supplied with all your cooking needs. The airflow with the windows was perfect with the ocean breeze. The closet had plenty of beach chairs and a beach umbrella. The location is close to restaurants, bars, and grocery store. It was a great relaxing week.

Great location, close to the beach and boardwalk. It's near a bus station, as well as several grocery and convenience stores.

30 second walk to the beach-great location! The onsite parking was a huge benefit, and it was easy to walk to dinner or grocery store. Would definitely stay here again!

I’ve stayed in this building a couple of times and it is always stellar. My only complaint with this unit is that it’s exceptionally warm - it’s on the upper floor, southeast corner, so there is essentially all day sun exposure. Gets a little of that hot-box effect on super warm days. But the location can’t be beat, the owners/managers are prompt with responses, and it’s just freakin adorable. Would stay again (in the cooler months).

The location was great. Just steps to beautiful Mission Beach and many restaurants nearby. The unit was clean and the bed was comfortable. My only disappointment was that the AC was a portable unit in the bedroom. The living area got very hot in the daytime. Overall a great place to stay!

Great location!

Great location. Short walk to the beach. Bars and restaurants are all within a 12 minute walk or less. Boardwalk is great for inline skating jogging and walking. The unit having a air conditioning unit is big as the summer sun does heat up the unit. If you get up and go and start your day early I do recommend Ben's Beach bungalow.

We are two ladies from London UK and really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It was as described and very near both bay and beach plus restaurants and shops. I would stay again and recommend to others for a few days or longer.

My daughter and I visited SD for two nights to look at colleges. This property was perfect: centrally located, a block from the beach, a parking space, clean, fairly priced, and great owner communication!

Very convenient location . Can walk to dinner or beach or grocery. Can drive to many sites in area. Place has basic necessities and with kitchen was still cheaper than local hotels. Would go back for sure.

We enjoyed our stay! In town from GA for a baby shower and just needed a small space for sleeping and breakfast. Parking was tight. I would have rented a smaller car had I known. 4 door jeep was difficult to get into the garage. We enjoyed the beach one day and walked to lunch it was perfect. Very clean and comfortable

It was awesome. Great place and super responsive host!

We loved our stay! The location is great and you can hear the waves of the ocean from the house. We would walk to get coffee in the mornings and the area had cute shops and lunch spots nearby. The house also has beach chairs and towels to take down to the water which we used to watch the sunsets! I would definitely stay again. The host Aaron was super great at communicating as well!

Property was nice. U really need a small car to park in the garage

Location perfect as described. However bathroom, bathroom sink water tricked and couldn’t get hot water,Arron responded to our complaint but would not correct problem. Told us he would not call plumber till Monday after Thanksgiving which was when we were leaving.

He sent us great communications prior to even have groceries waiting if we wanted. Walking distance to beach and other restaurants and shops.

It was a great location. We had parking. It was literally two blocks from the beach! Awesome! We hope to come back again next year sometime!

We had a great stay and the property was perfect!

Great location. Nice little unit. Has everything you need. Lots to do in the area. Could have stayed a few more days!

This place was as advertised, save for a few very minor details. When we arrived we did find that the parking space was exactly as the ad warned: it's TIGHT, and you will want to back into it. It took a few solid tries before we figured out the trick to it. (We had requested a compact, but the rental company gave us a mid-size, which made this trickier - not VRBO's fault by any means.) There was ground coffee and a drip coffee maker available (yay!), some tea, condiments, and full utensils and dishes in the kitchen. During our 9-day stay, we really lamented not having an ottoman or coffee table of some sort in the living room. Now that I'm writing this review I see that the listing photos do show a small ottoman, so I'm not sure what happened to it, but it would have been nice to have a way to prop up one's feet for a minute. Like I said, minor discrepancy. Great proximity to the beach and food options. So why 4 stars instead of 5? The apartment was clean and pleasant, but it overlooks the alleyway, and the sounds of trash pickup, beeping vans, loud motorcycles, and the like woke us up often. As much as we would have loved to leave the windows cracked to sleep to the beautiful October weather and the faint ocean sounds, we couldn't if we wanted good rest. There aren't really any good views out of the windows, which is a bummer, though OK considering the affordable price. The bathroom door doesn't offer any acoustic privacy. So overall: nice stay, with a couple of caveats.

Three houses from the beach! You can sleep with the window open to the crashing sound of the waves, no joke. Just look at the pictures, this place has everything you need. Big Advantage here is you're at the very North End of Mission Beach so you have walking distance to everything in Mission Beach as well as a large portion of Pacific beach. Ocean Beach is a 15 minute Car ride, downtown about 15 to 20 minutes as well as the airport. Wineries out in Temecula and Escondido and some even closer within an hour to 30 minutes or less. Endless places to hike at the beach, out in canyons, waterfalls, so much more.... everything within an hour or less.

We stayed in a one-bedroom upstairs unit which was perfect for us. It is clean and updated, just off the PB boardwalk. Had everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen, beach towels and toys.
