Love the Blue House!

This is the third year in a row we have stayed at the blue house for vacation. Always have a blast. The location is perfect and it is the cutest little cottage there.

Short trip

My family and I are from Minnesota and stayed here for the weekend cause we had a wedding to go to. We loved it, very very close to the beach and all the attractions around. Kids thought it was great with the bunk beds. Nice and clean. A spot to park your car/rental in the garage. We would/will definitely stay again!!

Loved the cottage!

The cottage was perfect for me and my family. We truly enjoyed our stay. The location was awesome! I loved the fact that we were only a few steps away from the beach. My kids were able to enjoy the beach all day on Saturday. Weather was perfect. David was a great host. Whenever I had a question, his response time was amazing. Thank you, David, for allowing us to stay at your cute cottage. The Nakama's

Cute cottage

So first I have to give a shout-out to David the property manager, he was GREAT! Location was close to Belmont so the kids had a blast and steps to the beach. Whenever I had a question for David, he responded quickly. Parking was great, I have a large SUV and there were two parking spaces for me. Washer and dryer on premises so no spending hours at a laundromat and wasting quarters. Love it and would recommend this place highly.

Exactly what we were looking for!

We enjoyed ourselves so very much at this property.! I Every waking moment that we weren’t busy elsewhere we walked a few steps to the boardwalk and the sand. I grew up on this beach and I felt so at home at this Beach Cottage. There’s a lot of new stuff around, but I wanted the old, worn in beach feel.! David and Felice had everything we needed and it was an easy check in, and at 1am that’s what we needed. We woke up and went to sleep with the sound of the ocean; which I’m gonna miss. We were so close to everything and my husband especially really appreciated that. He’s from a small town in Montana and really loved the place and the location that I picked for us. We will be back to rent again..TY David and Felice…you have a little gem

I want to start off by saying that my family and I had an amazing time staying at Dave's cottage. The proximity to the beach (Maybe 100 feet to the boardwalk) was the key selling point and we will 100% be staying again. We walked down to the boardwalk at least 8 time each day to either play in the water or just simply stare out at the ocean. The Tourist shops, Belmont Park, and restaurants are also only a 5-minute walk which meant we rarely had to drive for food/entertainment, or random gifts for the kiddo.As i was booking, i already knew that the place needed a little TLC (per other reviews) which was fine for my family and I as it does have the authentic beach house vibe we were looking for and we are very much into old, historic places. However, i gave the cottage 4-5 stars because some things truly did need some touchups, as i was afraid that we would break some things simply by using them. A Few examples:1. The outdoor shower pipe is loose, so you have to hold it while turning the water on, so you don't stress the pipe. 2. The bathroom doorknob is really loose and doesn't work from the inside without pulling hard while turning.3. The Foton had screws falling out which I tightened, luckily before it broke. None of these issues were a big deal to my family and I but wanted to list them to justify the 4/5 stars as opposed to 5/5. With that said, these issues will not deter my family and I and we will 100% be back!

Fine... just fine

This is a great location close to a great beach but I have to say there are a few items that were not ideal. First, the place is very small. We spread out all over and its all good but for larger people this place is small. It is also not clean. Stained blankets, cracked floor tiles, dusty bunk bed in very ppor condition... just not clean and desperatly needs updating. We had to shop for toilet paper... again this is all fine. Nothing like this should keep anyone from renting this place but stuff to know. If ready access to the beach is paramount this is ideal... if nicely appointed and spacious place is what you seek this may not be a match.

Dirty and unsafe

This property could be a gem. It was dirty and in poor condition. Broken futon. There are electrical concerns. At one point the bedroom was filled with sparks from the broken socket. The sparks put a hole in my blouse and a burn on my arm. The electricity went out. We and vrbo made multiple attempts to contact the manager. He finally contacted me late in evening after we left to go to another hotel. The manager stated he would only give my money back if I didn't leave a negative review. I have multiple pictures and the communications demands from manager has been given to VRBO. I'm sure the manager will deny this review. Please keep you kids safe and stay away from this property. Not worth the great location.

This is a charming house with a quick easy walk to the beach. It is an older home, classic for the area, so no A/C (but plenty of fans) or dishwasher, but we've been here many times and love it.

Our family’s favorite tradition

We’ve been staying at the beach cottage for a few years now. My kiddos were devastated when we couldn’t come last year, so it was super important to us to be able to come back this summer. We made the best memories together and just adore the originality of the home. The location is perfect and the accommodations are always incredible. Feels like our home away from home Thank you for having us, David!

We enjoyed our stay in Mission Beach. The house was the perfect location, and had everything we needed. The host was awesome, and the description was accurate.The house os old and charming but with that, felt dirty and needed a little more tlc if renting. I would have loved updated bedding, towels, and kitchen ware.charming

Wonderful Stay

The location was fantastic—couldn't have asked for a better spot for the price! The owner was incredibly responsive, even through VRBO messaging, which made the entire experience seamless. The cottage itself was a real gem. Growing up in Michigan, it reminded me of the older homes there, bringing back great memories. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home—it was absolutely perfect!

Simply Amazing!

The location is unbelievable. A 3 min walk to the bay. A 1 min walk to the ocean. A 5 minute walk to Belmont Park. We rode bike everywhere and barely used our rental car. I cannot express how incredible this property is! The only knock is that there are signs of aging. Having said that, nothing was in such poor shape that we couldn’t enjoy ourselves. The kayak was so much fun for the family. Even our 5 yo gave it a try on Mission Bay! Fans are available in the house to help keep things cool. The outside shower was so helpful. Also, plenty of beach toys for the kiddo… and OMG, the patio! I can’t forget how relaxing it was to hang out there in the morning and again at night. The futon was incredibly comfortable for the teenager. Communication with the owner was fantastic. He was super responsive and helped us along the way. Did I mention the location was unbelievable? You should stay here. There’s no doubt that if the opportunity presents itself again, we will be booking this property for even more spectacular memories. Thank you!!!

Beach Bliss

Location! Location! Location! You are a minute’s walk to the beach, and 3 minutes walk to anything you might need (food, ice cream, Starbucks). You’re also a 3 minute walk from Belmont Park which has an arcade and amusement park rides. My friend and I took our 14 year olds with us. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. The home is an original build, so it’s got that feel, but still comfortable and functional. Tons of books in the house, plus games. There’s a TV though we never turned it on. The host also has boogie boards and beach chairs in the back, which we did enjoy! There’s a tight garage, but once we parked, we never moved until checkout, because everything we could want was in walking distance. I plan on coming back with my family!
