Gorgeous 2 Bedroom Beach Cottage with a large private deck, charming vintage touches, and parking... all just steps from the sand! Located in the heart of Mission Beach, you can easily walk to both the ocean and bay, along with the restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and shops of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach.

This cozy beach cottage is perfect for couples, small families, friends, or remote workers looking for a relaxed coastal getaway in one of San Diego’s best beach neighborhoods.

INTERIOR DETAILS

This beautifully updated beach cottage blends classic Mission Beach charm with modern comforts. Original wood floors, coastal décor, vintage furnishings, and an open layout create a warm, welcoming space that feels relaxed and comfortable from the moment you walk in.

The living room is bright and inviting, with comfortable slipcovered seating, a Smart TV with YouTubeTV included, ceiling fans, and a freestanding gas fireplace for cozy evenings after the beach.

The kitchen is fully equipped with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, open shelving, and a large freestanding island that makes cooking and gathering easy. It includes all the basics needed to prepare meals at home.

Both bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds with soft luxury linens, feather/down bedding, ceiling fans, and plenty of natural light. The cottage comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests.

The bathroom is centrally located between the bedrooms and features vintage-inspired touches, subway tile, and a tub/shower combination.

EXTERIOR DETAILS

One of the best parts of this property is the spacious private outdoor area surrounded by palm trees and lush tropical landscaping. The yard features soft artificial turf throughout, creating a comfortable and relaxing space to enjoy San Diego’s amazing weather year-round.

The outdoor space includes:
- Dining table with seating for 6
- Large umbrella for shade
- Lounge chairs for relaxing in the sun
- BBQ grill
- Ambient lighting for evenings outside

Whether you’re having coffee in the morning, grilling after the beach, or enjoying a glass of wine outside at night, the outdoor space feels like a private little tropical escape in the middle of Mission Beach.


Please note:
- During summer weekends, holidays, and peak travel periods, parking in Mission Beach can become very limited.
- You may need to park several blocks away and walk back to the cottage during busy times.
- Parking availability usually improves later in the evening around sunset.
Beach life in Mission Beach comes with a little parking adventure sometimes. :)

Air Conditioning
- The cottage has a mini-split AC unit located in the main living area, along with ceiling fans throughout the home.
- Combined with the coastal breeze, the cottage stays comfortable most of the year.

Like many classic beach cottages near the ocean, the bedrooms are not separately air conditioned and can occasionally become warm during rare San Diego heat waves or unusually humid weather.

    Loved this house - perfect location, well-stocked, cute touches like a gas stove in the living room, all the beach supplies you could need! I would definitely rent this place again. This is a rental that feels like home.

    The location was great with access to bayfront & oceanfront sides of beach, house was great and had everything needed to enjoy stay. Our Prius car rental fit perfectly in garage space. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Great spa right down the street. Host provided great area suggestions & was responded quickly to our inquiries.

    Our trip to Pacific Beach exceeded all of our expectations starting with our accommodations. The cottage we stayed in was perfect.!! it was clean. It had everything we could possibly need for our temporary beach life we were experiencing.. I loved the privacy and we really liked how it was decorated with some of that old rustic vibe. The location was perfect as well.! Grocery store right down the street less than two minutes to get to the water which made it nice in case we had to run back to the pad for something we may have forgot. We were an absolute paradise in my opinion. Definitely would recommend to anybody.. we will be rebooking this exact same cottage next summer. It was sooooo nice! The kitchen was beautiful and very functional. Also, really glad we had a garage to park in,We had to rent a vehicle while we were there and I know parking in that area can be really difficult. At the end of the day, we were extremely grateful and happy with everything about staying at this property.

    Great rental option and we will be back. We loved the location and distance from the bay and beach. The house is fantastic with all the beach gear to save the day. My only small issues is that the pillows are very thin and not good for side sleepers oh well. Next time I’ll buy my own. Everything else was fantastic and we left happy.

    What a lovely cottage. It's truly one of the first places I've stayed at where the description matched the experience. I'm from New England so I really can appreciate the antique rustic beach charm paired with modern necessities. It was lovely. Property manager was very present and communicable. We had an issue with the oven and she was right on it with a repair man. Location was nice. Only thing that stinks but was mentioned in other reviews is the parking. Here's the deal. If you can get a small rental car you can park in the garage. My SUV was just a little too long. So we had to park on the street which really isn't a big deal but I struggled to find the area free parking lots. Thankfully we never had to use those. We were able to find parking in front of or near the house every time we came back. I was in town with my mother and my daughter to visit my son and his wife who are in the navy and live on base housing. We were 22 minutes away from them but it's mostly freeway driving so it feels like a very short distance. 20 minutes or so from the zoo. We did not realize we were 1.5 hours from Disneyland so we took an impromptu visit there. Old town was neat didn't make it through half of it so will need to return. But that was 14 minutes away. You really are right near the bay. Only feet away. Or a couple minute walk to the ocean side. We will definitely stay here again or right next door. Similar style. Thanks for a great stay.

    This was a fantastic place to stay for our family of four. The bay was on the one side only a few steps away, and the beach was on the other side. The only “downside” is parking. There is a small garage, but our suv would not fit so we had to park on the street, which was fine but when the street sweepers came we had to move and then lost our spot. Minor detail, still a 5/5, would totally go back again.

    This was a beautifully refinished house inside which was perfect for the four of us. Very close to both Mission Bay and the ocean. The traffic noise was the only negative thing but not bad. We would definitely stay here again.
