South Mission Beach Cottage-San Luis Rey Pl.

This house had everything for my family of 4 with two young boys. There were a ton of beach toys so we didn’t have to stress about packing ours from Arizona and left for more space in our car. Very short and convenient walk to the bay, a lot of space in the house, and just great overall experience. We will absolutely be back!

The beach house was perfect! Loved the location to the bay and the beach. It was our first visit to San Diego and we will definitely be back.

Perfect location for a stay at the beach. Close proximity to beach and activities but peaceful

Great spot & clean house!

Beautiful location, 3rd house from beach. Easy walking to get to ocean side beach, local restaurant/taco stand and convenience store. Very clean property. Host answered questions quickly.

This place was wonderful! We loved the cute layout and having two bathrooms was a huge plus. We have two young boys and the boogie boards provided were a hit. Our boys said they were their favorite part of the trip! Having a washer and dryer was incredibly helpful since our kids’ clothes were sandy, smelly and dirty by the end of each day.Pros:
• Location: A short walk to some great food and right next to the water
• Two bathrooms and a washer and dryer
• For me (the mom): The lounge chairs with comfy cushions were perfect for reading and relaxing outside
• Beach and water toys: Truly a lifesaver and so thoughtfully providedCons:
• Not the owner’s fault, but the house next door was under construction. It’s something to consider if you need complete quiet during the day. That said, work didn’t start until around 8:00 a.m. and wrapped up later in the afternoon.Overall, this was the best VRBO home we’ve stayed in. We loved it so much and all the extra amenities were incredibly thoughtful and absolutely worth it!

Cottage was as advertised and communication with host was wonderful. Would stay here again with our family.

Outstanding host, very accommodating. Great location, fully equipped. We will definitely be back!

I would highly recommend this beach cottage. The location is prime - less than a minute walk to the bay and five minutes to the beach. I really appreciated having a house vs a multiunit condo, and with our own outdoor space. This rental has a king sized bed which rare and it is very comfortable. It was so nice to have a parking spot, as we found renting a car was key to seeing all San Diego had to offer. Candis was very responsive to an issue we encountered. One side note I would offer is that as of the end of November 2025, the house next door was under construction. The crew respected the quiet hours and didn’t start until 8 am. The primary impact for us was that we like to sleep in on vacation. So if your family, especially those staying in the primary room (as it is on that side of the house), are looking to sleep in past 8 am wait to stay here until the construction is complete. They seem to be moving quickly.

This property was a great place for my family to stay during our visit. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. We especially enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and the bay. The beds were very comfortable as well!

We really enjoyed staying here for the week. As a family, having the bay walk was perfect in the mornings and there is a lovely playground about 10min away. Also walkable to the beach and really appreciated the wagon with all the toys needed to keep the kids occupied. The house was clean and well stocked. Would definitely recommend!

Property is exactly as described! We stayed with two adults and three kids (4-12 yrs old) and loved it! Beach is a short walk away with kids. They have a wagon and beach accessories to use. The host responds back fast and is super helpful. Neighbors were also very nice. Quiet neighborhood! Highly recommend!! We’ll be back!! The family loved staying here!

All amenities were great, having a code to enter made it easy to come and go. The location was perfect!

This is a very comfortable home with two good sized bedrooms and two baths. Everything was well-equipped, especially the kitchen. The owner was very responsive with every question and easy to work with. A car/uber is needed to get to most of the restaurants, but the neighborhood is very nice. It’s close to the jetty and beach and a very nice walking neighborhood. It’s close to the airport.

We call this “our house” when visiting San Diego. We love the location, the beds are so comfortable, and has everything we need. It’s easy to just show up and make yourself at home. We have returned to this rental multiple times, so that should say a lot! The host is extremely responsive and helpful. We will be back!!!

Enjoyed our visit and stay very much! The house was clean, cute, well stocked, and in a wonderful location!

We really enjoyed our time at this house. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and basics, the beds were comfortable, the house was clean and it was in a good location, quick walk to the bay and an easy stroll to the beach. Parking is a little tight in the back alleyway, so don't attempt with anything larger than a small SUV. There is street parking though, if available. I would definitely recommend this rental!

Right there is a quiet and fun area. The beach cruisers were great to have.

Great little house and awesome host. Look forward to next time!

We plan on staying at this rental again next time we come to visit San Diego!! The rental was fully loaded with any and all amenities you may need! From bikes to laundry soap and all the toiletries you could possibly need. The stay was absolutely perfect!!

Great location, and great little cozy beach home with extra amenities (beach gear, bikes, BBQ etc). We enjoyed our stay very much. It's a lovely quiet part of Mission Beach and so close to the ocean beach, Mission Bay etc. We certainly will be looking here first on our next stay in SD. Many thanks!

This is a great little beach house that had everything to make our stay enjoyable at an affordable price. It worked out perfectly for 4 adults. We loved the location a few blocks from the bay, but still a very short walk to the ocean side. The beds were comfortable and the place was stocked with all the necessities + extras for the beach. Candis was very responsive and available if we needed anything. Wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

We loved the area of this property. The house was cute and perfect for two couples. It has a great courtyard in the front with a table and chairs and two lounge chairs. Quick walk to a few restaurants and the beach.

Our stay at this beach house was great! Candis was very accommodating! Place was in a safe quiet location but near everything. House has everything you need!

We stay at this cottage every year and always have a great time. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need, and is always neat and clean. Candis is always available for any questions you might have. The perfect getaway cottage!

Close to the bay, our favorite side of Mission Beach!
