    Stay overall was great. The home was clean and listing pictures were accurate. Walk to the bay was short and so easy with kids. Parking is a pain but overall our stay was great.

    This was a turn-key vacation rental, and steps from the Bay, we did not interact with the host, but the communication from the management company was super Clear! Also, the Garage would not fit our SUV so bring a smaller car. Would love to rent again, should we be in the area

    This was an excellent property, easy owners to work with. Easy access to the beaches on the bay and on the ocean. I admit, from the listing, I thought we would be right on the beach. We were about 100 yards and several units off the beach. But it was still an excellent location.

    We loved our stay in Balboa 816, it was perfect for my family. It was very clean and had everything we needed to make our Easter meal. Location is great and our favorite place was the sunny patio. Drift was easy to work with and was quick to answer our questions. We will be back next year.

    We loved our Drift Mission Beach accomodation. Fully equipped, great location and totally updated decor. They thought of everything! Only downside was the 2nd bedroom bed & mattress. Bed too small & mattress not very comfortable. Otherwise an excellent vacation property and would highly recommend.

    Great location. Easy to get to all major areas. Parking is tough, and in flight path. But otherwise no complaints and would stay here again.
