This is our second time staying here. The condo could not be better placed for someone who wants to be near the water. A few short steps and it's there. Add in Olive Baking Company downstairs, and it becomes a 4 star property despite its shortcomings. The condo needs to be updated with USB/electrical plugs, new mattresses, etc. It gives a very 80s vibe that could use a facelift. That said, the place is in a stellar location between the ocean and some great restaurants and close enough to the bay side to make it highly recommended.

Above a bakery 100 steps from the beach? Yes please!

The place needs a bit of modernization like USB electrical outlets, but otherwise it's a wonderful place to stay. It has lightning fast internet and comfortable beds and all the kitchen implements you could possibly need.

A nice place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Nancy's Vacation Rental. We were steps away from the beach and the balcony had a perfect view of the ocean and sunset. There were plenty of beach toys, chairs, and umbrellas to use. We loved that the Olive bakery was right underneath our rental just steps away. We were able to grab coffee and breakfast each morning and their cinnamon buns are the best we have ever had. The rental was very spacious and comfortable wich made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you again!

San Diego Beach Trip

My family was in town for a week. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more! The house was perfect for us. The proximity to the beach and access to beach toys made our stay so simple. The added bonus of Olives Bakery and their amazing cinnamon rolls and coffee being just below also didn’t hurt❤️ The weekend did get a bit loud in the neighborhood and adjacent establishments, but that was expected. We are already talking about our next vacation. We will definitely book this place again in the future.

Great location!

The condo was feet from the beach with a direct view from the balcony of ocean. We enjoyed the bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas left for our use. My only complaint would be that there is no air conditioning and leaving all the windows open overnight worked but all the noise of the trash trucks, delivery trucks, and the bakery moving their outdoor seating early in the morning made it diffucult to sleep in 😎

Just okay

Parking is a big issue, but it seems that way all over Mission Beach. Multiple trash cans in the way which had to be moved before eeeking out of the space. Lots of flies at the entrance gate. The downstairs plumbig was ok but needed a good bleaching. Everything is old but it worked and was clean.we rented an ac unit for close to 200.00 It did not cool as well as I wanted it to The downstairs bedroom was hot. 75 degrees that day and still hot.The lighting good be brightened up a bit. Dirty fans but came in useful. Comfortable beds was a plus. Need more ice trays day.Grealocation.had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and barey mad

Location a plus but not worth the $$

Location was amazing, the unit has been rode hard. Needs a great deal of attention to: kitchen/bathroom cabinets, furniture in living/dining room, balcony furniture, carpet is worn/dirty, no dresser upstairs for 4 people-arranging suitcases on floor was a challenge, access to upstairs balcony blocked by large chair Pros: location, comfortable beds (except sofa bed), Olive Bakery, walk to bay, restaurants, wetsuit rentals, convenient to San Diego/coronado island. Great beach chairs/boogie boards for our use Cons: kitchen utensils (requested pancake turner/spatula and pizza cutter, lack of bath towels/handtowels/washcloths, no entry rugs (lots of rain-floor was slippery and one child fell hard), sunken bathtub has heavy shower doors, making bathing little ones a challenge, laundry on other side of building on ground floor (only one washer and dryer, shared with all residents and bakery). Dryer broke while we were there-wouldn’t return our money. Laundry basket provided has broken handle so it’s dicey carrying down flight of stairs to other side of building, Parking is noted in listing but is worse than we imagined. We never could park in garage or side space (too tight) and had to park a quarter mile away. The freezer never worked the entire time we were there, causing more frequent trips to store. (We cook a lot on vacation). Mgt worked with us but it was never resolved. We’ve used Vrbo for a decade and this was the roughest unit by far.

Mission Beach teip

Stayed for a week. Great place, amazing beach access and close to local shops. Apartment is a little dated, but everything functions well and place was clean on arrival. Seemed a touch short on kitchen linens and hand towels- could use a couple more of each. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If you like coffee (great shop downstairs) and the beach this place is for you. Also lots of beach toys and accessories (umbrella, chairs, boggie boards, bikes ect. Which were great to have).

Overall Great

Overall, we had a great stay. The condo is steps from the beach and centrally located near bars/restaurants. Short drive to anything else we wanted to do. Overall the condo was pretty clean, although we only received two towels for the entire stay. We had a small group and not enough amenities for that length of stay.
