Beach Cottage - 4th from Ocean, Private Patio, Ocean View, A/C

Enjoy this single story, fully furnished beach house in North Mission Beach less than 100 feet to the boardwalk and beach. With 2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, and a 1-car garage, it is ideal for families.

*** see notes below description about minimum stay requirements.

This lovely beach home has beautiful flooring, large windows and sliding glass doors, clean, comfortable furnishings, and an HD flat screen TV. Each room has a remote controlled heating / air conditioning unit so you can adjust temperature by room to your comfort.

A large sliding glass door opens the family room to the front patio which has ocean views and upscale patio furniture. You can enjoy meals on the patio table and inside on a round dining table that seats 4 (or 6 using included table top expansion). Kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, dishes, cookware, and flatware needed to prepare meals with your family. It also has a dishwasher for easy cleanup.

The master bedroom has a queen sized bed. The second bedroom sleeps 3 in bunk beds and a twin trundle bed. There is also a roll-away bed and pack-n-play (use your own sheets for pack-n-play) that can be used. The couch in the family room has a fold out bed that is just under full size (comfortable for one adult). The bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a bathtub/shower. There is a door to the side of the house from the bathroom where there is an additional outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after the beach.

The cottage is stocked with clean, high quality linens, bath towels, beach towels, as well as a few beach chairs and sand toys. It also includes a barbecue (propane BBQ) on the front patio.

Rental includes Roku TV, high-speed cable internet, WiFi, and one car garage parking.

The single car garage is big enough for vehicles up to 189 inches in length (fits most compact and mid-size SUVs but not full-size SUVs). To check your vehicle length, search Google. Example search: length of 2021 Nissan Sentra. Google answer: 182.7"

Side gates lock for added security.

Located in North Mission Beach, this cottage is on a quiet court surrounded by long-term residents and owners. It is the fourth property from the beach, less than a 30 second walk to the boardwalk and sand. Vanitie Court is one of the narrower parts of Mission Beach so it is also a short walk to Mission Bay. There are many restaurants, shops and activities all within walking distance.

Centrally located, this affordable rental is close to lots of beaches: Mission Beach, Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, La Jolla, and Ocean Beach. It is a short drive to Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, museums, and Downtown San Diego Gaslamp District.

Sorry: no smoking, parties or pets.

* * * Generally for the summer we will require a minimum of 7 nights. We will consider shorter rental periods on request. Mid-week rentals that start and end between Sunday and Friday will be considered for a 2 or 3-night minimum.

Excellent experience at the cottage! It is a cozy space for sure, but the location to walk to either Mission Beach or Mission Bay in just minutes is unbeatable. It's almost in the middle of everything, really great location. The Hosts communication was perfect, any instruction was advanced, accurate, and helpful, also, more than willing to accommodate. Was really great to communicate with. Thank you, Sven!

This was a great place to stay! We had everything we needed, check in information was thorough, and the bikes were a nice touch! The place was clean and exactly as described. Air conditioning worked well. Walking distance to coffee, food, and boardwalks on the ocean side and the bay side. The patio was the star of this place! Bigger than it looks in the photos and super comfortable place to hang out. I never had to contact the host because we really had everything we needed and all the information provided made it easy to navigate the ABnb. Thank you for having us! Definitely recommend this place to others and will stay here again!

Great location and great host! This cottage was perfect for my family’s visit to San Diego. There were six of us 3 adults and 3 kids. The layout of the cottage worked really well for us as the kids were able to have their own room.We walked down to the beach every day and used the body boards and sand toys there at the cottage, beach umbrella and chairs. There is a lifeguard tower on the beach right as you walk out from the path to the cottage. There is also an outdoor heated shower on the side of the cottage which was great for after the beach. There were plenty of towels and lots of hooks to hang them to dry out for the next day.We walked to do laundry once, the laundry mat is only a few blocks away. It is also walking distance to a small conscience store and Ralph’s. The location was great for us, as it was quiet at night but walking distance to any of the night time action in the area. Host was very responsive to any questions we had. We had a wonderful vacation.

Cottage was the perfect place for my wife and our 3 adult children. The place was stocked with everything we could need, and being 3-4 houses from the beach was just what we wanted. Lots of places to eat and interesting to watch all the people in the boardwalk. Highly recommended staying here. Also, loved the front patio with large dining table and couches!!

Very good communication with host before the stay…we knew what to expect. We were steps away from the beach which we loved. We felt safe staying in this location. We were able to walk to breakfast, ice cream, my son in law enjoyed jogging at the beach walk in the morning. The house was great with a/c making it very comfortable especially for sleeping.
