On the Sand! Bayfront Ground Floor + AC + Large Patio

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. It is one of the nicest and well kept places we have rented. The property had the best kitchen and cooking supplies. We were also surprised at the amount of paper products in the unit for our use. I would highly recommend this property.

I can't say enough about this home! It was spacious, immaculate and very comfortable. The location and the view couldn't have been better. The rental company was great to work with. Answered any questions we had immediately, and gave us some great recommendations. We will be back next year! Highly recommend!!

We decided to pay more for this house rather than stay at a cheaper location so we could be right on the beach and it was totally worth it. California does not have warm beaches so my kids get cold so it was so nice to be able to get back and washed off with the outdoor shower and warmed back up so quickly. It made it so we could play at the beach multiple times a day. The patio furniture made it absolutely perfect to sit out and enjoy watching the birds and views of the ocean. There is a sidewalk right next to the property before the beach and it was moderately busy but everyone was friendly and it was much quieter than on the ocean side. There is also the park and playground nearby that my kids enjoyed walking to. Parking was difficult with our Buick Enclave but still totally doable and so nice to have a garage. Aside from the amazing location it was also a lovely home. Everything was clean and organized and we just had a truly perfect stay.

Very well maintained house in an amazing location. Great kitchen and amenities, well worth it!

This was by far one of the nicest vacations we have had as a family. This house was EVERYTHING. Clean, Safe, Accommodating, Perfect Location AND if you love the sand and water it’s literally steps from your door. Nightly Fireworks. Drift Vacation Homes was amazing. Answered all my questions and even referred us to BabyQuip which saved us from having to haul a trunk load of baby equipment. I can’t say enough about this home and Drift Vacations. We will certainly be back soon. Thank you for making our trip and time together so seamlessly easy and perfect!!!!

If you are looking for a quiet beach front location look no further. Staying on Mission Bay is wonderful for easy walk out access to the sand and gentle water of the bay. Great people watching as walkers, joggers and bikers cruise along the boardwalk. The house had everything you need to enjoy the beach, and the house was clean and well appointed. Parking available in the garage was great to have, but small/mid-size cars only. Highly recommend this house for any gathering, especially families with young children. Lots of beach toys for the kids and the bay is ideal for the young ones to splash away in the gentle water. Love Mission Beach and this house only highlights what to love.

I had a great time visiting friends in San Diego and staying in this awesome property right on the sand on Mission Beach - Bayside!I love the south end of Mission Beach on the bayside because it is lovely and quiet. This property was right where I like to be - great view every morning drinking my coffee on the patio.I'll be back!

The property was as advertised, lovely location, excellent response from the host when needed! Will gladly return

We loved this clean spacious home with fabulous bay views. We enjoyed waking up to the calm bay life with the beach less than a block away. We enjoyed markets around the corner. The entire experience was seamless and we enjoyed our time here for a long Easter weekend. The house had everything we expected and would love to stay here again.

Great beach condo at the southern end of the Mission Bay boardwalk. Great views. Well stocked house with all the amenities. Very comfortable for our family of four. Noise from upstairs tenants was definitely noticeable, but is to be expected in close quarters of Beach living. We would rent again!

Loved the location.

This is the 2nd time our family of 4 (two young kids) have stayed at this house. We hoped it would be our spot in SD, however we don't know that it will be. We love the 3 bed, 2.5 bath, easy layout, gate at stairs, laundry & most importantly the location! You walk out the sliding doors & are right on the bay. It's quieter & calmer than oceanside, which we prefer for our young kids. Now, the reason why we were disappointed... When we stayed at this house in Oct 2023, the downstairs 1/2 bath had what looked like some water damage and a smell. This year, Oct 2024, the bathroom smelled stronger (mildew/ musty) & looked to have signs of mold behind the toilet and in the top corner of the room. We chose to keep the door to this room closed during our stay to avoid the smell, however anytime the A/C would kick on, the smell would push into the lower level of the house. I felt like our family was breathing in mold. We then tried turning off the A/C, but we also specifically chose a house with A/C so we could stay cool particularly at night. Additionally, there was a smell to the 2nd floor jack & jill bathroom as well, which we also chose to use only for quick teeth brushing. I do hope they renovate the bathrooms as this could be such a great vacation house. They did update some area rugs, that needed it. I would love to see an upgrade on the couch & pillows in tv room too, which have seen better days. Great house, unfortunately, I just can't stay somewhere with that smell again. :(

Beautiful property and so close to the sand! You cannot beat the sunrise from the master bedroom balcony! The bunk room worked out nicely for my sister and her daughters. There is a Jack and Jill bathroom between the bunk room and the 2nd guest room which was really convenient for my Mom and sister. The master bedroom is spacious and the master bath is beautiful. The outdoor patio was really cool. I loved sitting by the fire pit and visiting with people who walked by on the path. We even had some trick or treaters on Halloween on the path (no one came to the door.) What I found misleading was that the VRBO posting says ground floor which the living space is ground floor. I could not see any information about all three bedrooms being on the second floor. In the pictures it looked like the master was on the first floor. I should have confirmed, so that is on me. My mom has trouble walking so going upstairs was a hassle. There was no hand soap in the Jack and Jill bathroom, which is pretty minor in the whole visit. The only other thing that was inconvenient was the narrow garage. I could barely fit my SUV in the garage and had to exit out the passenger door to barely get out the car.

Stayed here with our daughter for her 40th with her husband and our granddaughters aged 9 and 11 and hubbys mother- overall great experience and perfect location

This was the perfect place for 6 Adults and two toddlers. We had a lovely visit. Would definitely stay again.

Our family really enjoyed our stay! The property is beautiful, and the location was perfect for our family! Little walking distance to some restaurants and coffee but the tradeoff is the quite location and having a great park (with parking) nearby. Owners have thought of everything for a great stay. We were even surprised to have access to a kayak and paddle board. Can't wait to book another stay at On the Sand!

This house was amazing, steps away from the Bay. We loved ever minute playing games in the sand. Sitting on the porch every night with a fire going was the greatest end to every day. House was clean and had everything we could image made are stay even better. We will be telling our family and friends about Drift vacation rentals. Property manger was on every email fast and efficiently. One of the best vacations ever.....♥
