Relaxing Beach Bungalow - a bayside retreat
Escape to this bayside retreat in South Mission Beach, where relaxation meets convenience. Just 50 yards from the bay and 300 yards to the ocean, this serene 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect balance of privacy and tranquility. Unwind on the private patio with a fire pit, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and enjoy the ease of a spacious 2-car garage. With A/C, Wifi, & laundry, your comfort is covered. Book your ultimate coastal getaway now!
The cottage welcomes you through a cozy outdoor patio with seating, an outdoor fire pit, and a grill inviting you to spend some quality time in the front yard this vacation. But when you do decide to retire, we have CENTRAL AC!
The open concept living room has comfortable seating and a 55` smart TV. It flows right into an amazing kitchen with a pass through bar with a wine fridge and bar seating. You can cook just about anything as it is well-appointed with an oven, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, large refrigerator, toaster, and drip coffee-maker!
There are three wonderfully appointed bedrooms. The `master bedroom` has an en-suite, a king-sized bed, and a 50` smart TV. The 2nd bedroom has a queen-sized bed and a 43` smart TV, while the 3rd bedroom has 2 twin bunk beds to sleep 4 kiddos (or adults) and another 43` smart TV. There is a full bathroom in the hallway that is shared between these bedrooms. There is another half bathroom off the kitchen for your convenience.
When you get back from the beach you can head down the west side of the home to find a private outdoor heated shower to wash off before you head into the house through a side-door off the kitchen (via a half-bathroom). If you do decide to leave the area, you can feel free to come and go as you please as parking is not an issue with a 2-car garage, which will accommodate a large car or SUV.
You will experience the charm of Mission Beach here! The houses all face each other across a sidewalk (hence the `Court` designation). You may see kids riding bikes to and from the boardwalk and bayside walk while friendly neighbors are outside grilling and chatting. You will also hear the ice-cream truck come by!`
You have the complete house to yourselves, including courtside patio. A normal sized two-car garage (anomaly at the beach) make the beach experience perfect as no need to hunt for parking. We also provide boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys and beach towels for your use when visiting.
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).
Rental bikes and scooters are plentiful for rent by the hour/day/week. The Boardwalk and Bayside Walk are wonderful ways to travel throughout the beach and bay. The 2-car garage guarantees that you will always have parking should you venture out into greater San Diego. We`ve also 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!
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. Beach Equipment: despite the inclusion of snorkeling gear, we do not offer it at our rentals
We’ve partnered with a local private chef, Plates By Payne, who will provide an unforgettable culinary experience to you at a discount from the comfort of our rental! Ask us about this service after booking.

The bungalow was perfect for our family. Walking distance to the beach, bay, and Belmont park. Plenty of room for everyone and all the amenities to make the bungalow a home away from home for the week.

This was perfect for our family of 8. Loved that the beach was only a few minutes walk. Would absolutely love to stay again.
This little beach house was located perfectly for our family trip to San Diego! Very close walking distance to the beach, and close to both Seaworld and the Zoo. It fit our family of 5 perfectly, with sleeping room to spare. We would definitely stay here again, and hope to make it back soon!
We had a wonderful experience at this home. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, kitchen things ( including a crock pot) young children items and tons of beach items. Close to the bay and a short walk to the beach.
Great place in great location. Love that it has AC and all the beach gear you need. 2 parking spots in mission is rare. Addressed small concerns with one drain to host who replied immediately. Place was excellent. 5 stars. Made our 4th of July awesome.
This is a lovely house in an amazing location on mission beach. There are two markets and 4 yummy food shops within 2 min walking distance.
It was a quiet location and the house was very tidy and had AC!
It was stocked with things we needed to make a quick breakfast before we headed off to the beach. The beach wagon, toys and boards were a huge +. Aaron had great communication and we are considering a trip back just to stay there again!
This cozy beach house provided everything our family needed for a memorable stay. The beach was very close and had plenty of beach toys, chairs, and even a wagon available. The fire pit was easy to use and we spent every evening and many mornings warming up on the patio.
The outdoor shower was a huge plus, especially for our 4 year old…he loved it.
We had the best time and loved everything about the house and location! We hope to return.
This cozy house was the perfect house for our family vacation. We have two little ones and wanted to be close to the beach. The location is perfect minutes from the beach and bay as well. The house even had a wagon and beach chairs that were super convenient for our time at the beach. The owner, Aaron, was super responsive. The house had everything we needed and even had a pack in play for our baby to sleep in. Check in and out was very easy. We recommend this house and would book in again for another beach vacation.
We chose this property for the proximity to both the bay and the ocean, and it was SO perfect!! Less than a block to the bay, 2 blocks to the beach! There is also all the beach stuff you could ever want; chairs, wagon, sand toys, tent… also loved the outdoor shower when we came back from the beach.
The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. Plenty of towels, kitchen was very well stocked.
2-car garage was nice to have, tho you either need a small car or backing skills to get in it from the narrow alley.
Highly recommend for families!
This was the perfect place for a great vacation. Halfway between beach and bay. The house was equipped with everything you can think of. The layout is great. Beds are super comfy! The fire pit was loved by all! Having laundry was so nice and we didn’t even have to go buy soap. Very helpful! The beach chairs were good ones and not rusted like most others. So nice that the garage fit our midsize suv just fine. We've stayed in so many different houses in San Diego and finally found one we will go back to over and over!
Great location. Rental was like advertised. Communication good with Aaron.
Outdoor furniture cushions in rough shape and should be replaced. Better instructions on living room t.v. remote would have been helpful and some additional kitchen stock such as parchment paper, cooking oil, etc. Otherwise, really enjoyed having washer and dryer, beach toys (left volleyball for future guests to use and enjoy).
Location between the beach and bay was great. We were within walking distance to Belmont Park. The size of the house was perfect for a family of 5. Location was also great to be able to drive to the zoo, Little Italy, Old Town, and the Seaport District.
Only recommendations are to update with new cushions outside and some paint jobs within the house.
We rented a Yukon. It fit in the garage, but we helped guide him in and out each day. Luckily we drive a suburban and truck. This is nothing against the property owner. Just be aware if you are renting a vehicle.
I would definitely recommend to anyone to stay here!!!

Wish the power was more reliable
The house is clean and great for a group of 3 or 4.
The power randomly went out and we didnt have wifi (the router is in the master where the power kept going out). When we notified the property manager we were told that it's a known problem and we probably have too much plugged, like a cpap which apparently was the reason why it went out last time. 🙄
We unplugged everything and reset the power breaker a number of times and it never came back. It is also not on the beach which was a little misleading.
If the power issue is resolved, it would get a 5.
Location is really great for downtown and lots of activities.
It was a wonderful place to stay. Well stocked with everything we needed. Management company was amazing to work with, very accommodating and easy to get a hold of. We had a great stay and would do it again.
