70 steps to the BEACH! Our guests love how close we are to the beach! The location is prime and just a short walk to local dining and attractions. Open design, perfect for enjoying with the whole family! Four bedrooms are as follows: TWO KING bedrooms and TWO bunk rooms. Great for sharing! The TWO Bunk Rooms best for kids! Part of a two-unit home, this property is the whole upper-level, located above a separate two-bedroom beach cottage.

Located on the beach side of Dover Court inSouth Mission, just south of Belmont Park and the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster.
There are TWO OUTDOOR AREAS: ONE BALCONY DECK OFF THE LIVING ROOM WITH A WHITE WATER VIEW AND ONE ROOFTOP DECK WITH AN OCEAN VIEW! Note that this property does not share the ground-level patio, and instead has a balcony as well as a private rooftop deck. Spend your mornings and evenings on the rooftop complete with BBQ, sitting area, and ocean view! Enjoy grilling and dining while just steps away from the deep blue sea, the boardwalk, sandy beach, and surf. The location is ideal, making this property convenient to beach activities and all the other sights you don’t want to miss while in San Diego! Check the map to see for yourself!

Two king bedrooms, two kid bedrooms, as well as two sofa sleepers. Plenty of sleeping space to choose from.

* We love our furry family, but please leave your pets at home. We have a strict no pet-policy to keep our homes clean and allergy-free for all guests!

* Markets and restaurants are all within a 2 to 3-block walk.

* Lots of bike, kayak, surfboard, and sailboat rentals all nearby.

* Plenty of boogie boards and sand toys available at the property for guest use.

* We have a guest laundry room with multiple washers and dryers that will help you pack lightly. Don’t forget your beach towels!

* Garage parking! Private reserved two-car garage that fits a large SUV with the big garage door open, but we advise to bring/rent an average or smaller car for easier parking at the beach, if you can! I park my full size Escalade SUV by backing into the garage and leaving the door open. It is a challenge but, worth the effort.

Check out all of the extra photos and compare with others. This is the best value in Mission Beach! We would love to have you visit us, and want you to come back again and again!

    This property is in an ideal location- just steps to the beach! The roof patio is amazing with a great view of the sunset and ocean. The house itself is nice- the kitchen and living room have been updated and are beautiful. The rest of the house is nice- needs a little bit of TLC in a couple of areas and it got a little warm in the bunk rooms at night. However, you just can’t beat the location. We love staying on Mission Beach. There were plenty of chairs, boogie boards, sand toys for the kids!

    My family had a wonderful stay at the beach house! The location is just perfect, close enough to Belmont Park for convenience but far enough away to enjoy quiet nights on the upper deck. Plenty of beds, towels and dishes for our core party of 12. Highly recommend!!

    Great experience, house was beautiful and clean and just a few steps away from the beach. It fit every body perfectly. The only thing I would say it would need but is not a big deal is more patio space. It only had a small roof top with a table. The lower front patio(yard)belong to another portion of the house that get rented separately. And since there were other guests down stairs I constantly had to tell the kids not not be running , so we would not bother them. Other then that it was a perfect experience

    The place was roomy and offered two bunk bed rooms for kids. I love the open living area and windows to see the ocean. I was not aware that there was no AC but the fans and windows open it was cool enough. The garage parking was very skinny but we were able to fit our Chevy Traverse and our friend fit the Honda Odyssey in there as well. We all loved how close it was to the beach. It was also nice that they had washers and dryers available. I was happy they provided beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, mats, and beach toys. Perfect area within 70 steps to get to the beach.

    Host is amazing! She bends over back to accommodate all her guests. Seriously best host ever! We met the cleaning crew since Sharon (host) was trying to let us check in early. The crew was SOOOO nice! The place was very clean. Location is perfect. The only negative would be the bathrooms could be a little more updated and maybe some fresh paint. Nothing major the pros are far more than cons. I would absolutely rent here again!

    The host worked quickly to remedy an initially rough start, but after that, everything was great. I was impressed by all the kitchen supplies, including a blender and waffle iron! Plenty of plates, utensils, and cookware for our large group. Plenty of linens, and 2 washers/driers available to use. Top deck with a grill was a good space, especially when the weather cooperated. The walk to the beach was fast and easy, and the walk to local eateries was easy as well. Good sized grocery store was a short drive.

    Great location! But, if you are a picky about beds/ mattresses, etc. squeaking soft mattresses are less than ideal. Broken door lock on garage, etc. worn out screen and shower doors. In short, perfect location, lots of restaurants and activities for kids, just in need of a few upgrades and maintenance needed to justify the price.

    The location of the house was amazing! Check in was easy. It was a bit tricky finding the house with the narrow neighborhoods but Sharon was available to help navigate to it. The space was open and can accommodate 6-8 people. They even have a rooftop terrace to hangout and enjoy the sunset. Beach is only a few steps away. The only negative was the cleanliness. We did find hair strands on some of the nightstands and mold in the showers.

    Our family stay was great! The beach house was just what the family needed to take a break. From the the first day we arrived to our departure the process was a breeze. There was plenty of bed space for the kids with two adult beds separate from the kids bedrooms which is nice for rest and relaxation. The kids have their own television in two different rooms that allows access multiple different apps connected the beach house WiFi. A fully stocked kitchen with plenty of seating space for two families. The roof access is nice with a beautiful view of the ocean and a breath of fresh air. A fully stocked kitchen made it easy and convenient to cook from home. If there was any issues or questions a quick answer was only a call or text away. We had a great time and look forward to another possible future stay.

    Booked for a quick getaway for the family. Place was stocked and was pretty much the standard for the area. We've stayed in 10 or so short term rentals along the southern CA coast, we enjoyed this one as much as any of the others.

    Just spent several days at the Mermaid house and loved it. I took my teenage son and several of his friends. The boys loved the location. We were steps from the beach, very close to Belmont Park and lots of restaurants. Its in the middle of things but still quiet. The house was perfectly clean and, although not beach front, has great beach views. Two of the bedrooms are kind of small but there are plenty of beds. The kitchen and living room have been beautifully updated. The rooftop deck has a great view of the ocean. There is plenty of hot water, lots of towels and the kitchen is well appointed, there is even a fantastic kitchenaid mixer. The washer / dryer is not actually inside the house, its down the stairs but easily accessible and there are two so its easy to get it all done quickly. This condo gets the whole garage, the spots are tight so do not bring a big SUV. We had rented a mid sized SUV and it fit but was tight. We had a slight issue with the grill and the management company was very responsive and found us a solution quickly. I would definitely rent it again!

    We booked here to stay after the hustle and bustle of a disney vacation, we are from Canada so the weather was a nice reprieve even though cold for most in November. You can sit at the kitchen island and watch the waves roll, off the front deck or the roof top deck! It was the perfect balance of close to the beach but not too close for noise. We had 4 adults and 6 kids during our stay and the house could accomodate us all with 2 full bathrooms. There are beach chairs outside for use, beach toys, umbrella, boogie boards! Plenty out outside lounging/dining options on premises and steps to the beach made washroom breaks or lunch breaks very accessible. You are also very close to souvenir shops, restaurants and starbucks! There are rental stores for wet suites, bikes, surf or paddle boards if you need an addition. Also the bonus of laundry on site was great! We loved this accomodation and would definitely recommend and be back. My only feedback for our host would be to provide a few essentials in the kitchen like olive oil, dish detergent, laundry detergent, spices other than salt and pepper and some basic coffee/tea, sugar. We flew here so having to purchase that was a bit of a hassle as they don't make travel size. Other than that you're all set here!
