Beach Retreat

Clean and Cozy
Clean and cozy, great location. There are good food options within walking distance, and it’s just a short walk to the beach to enjoy the sunset. Parking is indeed a challenge, not insurmountable but do pay careful attention to the signage and be prepared to get up early to move the car if need be. It’s a nice base of operations, and there was a nice little bag of snacks and water provided as a welcome.

Soooooo Comfy
The parking was the only challenge we faced on our vacation. There are limited spots, but once you find one, keep it. Other than that this was the best San Diego visit me and my wife have ever had, it’s a perfect central spot, with all kinds of restaurants and coffee/breakfast places within a short walking distance. The spot was a perfect size for a couple and the couch was soooooo comfy, great spot to come back to and relax after being at the beach all day. Will definitely come back.

Perfect Place to Celebrate!
This was an awesome little spot with easy access to both the bay and the beach just a block away on either side. The host was very communicative and helpful. If you bring a car be sure to plan your parking because mission beach street parking can be competitive but there’s some great public lots a block or two away if you’re okay with a bit of a walk. Overall it was the perfect place to celebrate mine and my partner’s anniversary. So much fun stuff to do within walking distance! Thanks for the great stay!

Perfect!
It’s the PERFECT location! It was so nice just waking up, heading to the beach for a run, grabbing coffee or a bite to eat, all near the Airbnb! It’s a 3 minute walk to the free public parking lot, so we didn’t have to worry about moving the car for street sweeping (be vigilant! They were ticketing every day). The place is quite tiny so more appropriate for 2 people max. I loved how we didn’t need a key. Very clean and clear instructions. I would definitely book with the company again:)

Perfect Place
It was a joy to wake up every morning and take a walk on the beach and or the Board Walk‼️ My husband and I would come back to our rental and make coffee and breakfast and eat it out on the cute little patio, very private. It was the perfect place for a couple to stay!!!

Perfect Fit for Us
This was the perfect little beach getaway bungalow. Super close to the beach and the bay and lots of restaurants as well. It’s small and quaint but very clean, we felt safe and we didn’t need anything bigger as we were out and about most the trip. We initially couldn’t find parking after we unloaded but realized we could park at the Santa Clara rec center and it worked out perfect.

Cute little getaway
This listing is absolutely adorable! It was perfect for a quick get away for me and my partner. Great location with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We had the best time walking the beaches and chatting with the locals. We enjoyed every second!

Wonderful hideaway
We loved our stay at the Surfer's Hideaway. Great location with a short walk to the beach or the bay. Ocean Sands has the place well stocked with all the extras. We had everything we needed to cook in but there are also great places to eat all around the area. Would come back tomorrow if we could. Thank you!

Great Location
The location was phenomenal. Property was a cute bungalow on bayside. Value for price was off the charts in my book. Best part of the stay was getting to bond with neighbors who are local to Mission Beach for decades. We will be back again!!

We are glad you had such a great time! We look forward to hosting you again!

Great place to stay
Very clean! Great place to stay! There wasn’t parking at the premises, but there was close accessible parking nearby. Location is very close to many restaurants, shops, downtown area. And a 2 minute walk to a great beach! Would definitely stay here again!

Great weekend stay!
My daughter and I stayed for a long weekend, and it was perfect! Clean, cozy, and great location in Mission Beach. All the amenities there if we needed it. Perfect for the 2 of us. Parking can be very tricky so recommend Uber/Lyft if possible.

Funky little beach bungalow
It's a funky little beach bungalow, super comfy and clean. Hard to find a better spot for me, great food, coffee, bars, beach all within 100 yds. You can spend a whole weekend without leaving this little section of Mission beach.
