We had a wonderful time staying at this property. It is one of the nicest and well kept places we have rented. The property had the best kitchen and cooking supplies. We were also surprised at the amount of paper products in the unit for our use. I would highly recommend this property.

Fabulous Bayside Vacation

We loved this clean spacious home with fabulous bay views. We enjoyed waking up to the calm bay life with the beach less than a block away. We enjoyed markets around the corner. The entire experience was seamless and we enjoyed our time here for a long Easter weekend. The house had everything we expected and would love to stay here again.

Great location & view!

Great beach condo at the southern end of the Mission Bay boardwalk. Great views. Well stocked house with all the amenities. Very comfortable for our family of four. Noise from upstairs tenants was definitely noticeable, but is to be expected in close quarters of Beach living. We would rent again!

Amazing!

Our family really enjoyed our stay! The property is beautiful, and the location was perfect for our family! Little walking distance to some restaurants and coffee but the tradeoff is the quite location and having a great park (with parking) nearby. Owners have thought of everything for a great stay. We were even surprised to have access to a kayak and paddle board. Can't wait to book another stay at On the Sand!

This is a great house on the quiet end of Mission Beach/Bay. It was the perfect location for our family who enjoys fishing near the channel, boogie boarding in the ocean and paddle boarding in the bay. The house was well equipped and spacious. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing Stay on The Bay

This was by far one of the nicest vacations we have had as a family. This house was EVERYTHING. Clean, Safe, Accommodating, Perfect Location AND if you love the sand and water it’s literally steps from your door. Nightly Fireworks. Drift Vacation Homes was amazing. Answered all my questions and even referred us to BabyQuip which saved us from having to haul a trunk load of baby equipment. I can’t say enough about this home and Drift Vacations. We will certainly be back soon. Thank you for making our trip and time together so seamlessly easy and perfect!!!!

A beachy retreat on the bay

This is the second time my family has stayed at this property and we love it. The bay is quiet and peaceful with the clean, sandy beach right off of the patio. When we want a little more action, we just walk a few blocks over to Belmont Park. The owners are very easy to communicate with and it’s just an all around enjoyable spot to stay in San Diego!

We had a great stay with our family of 6 at mission beach San Diego. The place was right in the beach and just a short walk to the ocean. The neighborhood was really nice and you were close to everything (shops, airport, seaworld, the zoo and old town) We lived the house and did not want to leave. We definitely come back!
