You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ben`s Beach Bungalow 2, 100 Steps to Sand

Just steps to the sand! Take our boogie boards and beach equipment out for the day and come home to grill on your private front porch or walk to the restaurants in Pacific Beach. This unit is laid out to comfortably, sleep 4 in two beds (a queen, and a sofa bed). It has a separate dining area and a full kitchen, so you always have the option of dining in or experiencing the vast array of PB restaurants and bars.

This recently renovated 1BR is typical Mission Beach. Efficient use of space maximizes the sense of space. A queen in the bedroom and full pull out in the living room provide the sleeping arrangements. You have a fully stocked kitchen with all you could need to prep (pots, pans, utensils, blender, toaster, microwave, oven, stove and service for up to 6 guests).

The whole unit is yours. This unit is part of a small and quiet 6-plex with 3 long term and three vacation rentals. The patio in the picture is shared with other guests.

Check-in is virtual, as you`ll be provided with a digital Guest Portal and a personalized door code. Vacation Rentals by Aaron is a full-service property management company, and will be available 24-7 in case you need anything during your stay.

Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around `courts` with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to `live at the beach`.

Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away).

We provide a single covered parking space. It is accessed off the alley and as such can be a tight fit (as with about 90% of the parking spaces at the beach). We recommend a small to midsized car to make it easier to park. We also recommend backing into the spot as that makes it easier to get in and pull out.

Looking for a unique way to get around Mission/ Pacific Beach during your stay? We`ve partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they`ve got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!

This is `typical` beach parking so we do not recommend large cars. The spots will not accommodate anything more than a mid-size car or SUV.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month`s rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.


We only offer the air conditioning between May and September
