EXTERIOR DETAILS
One of the best parts of this property is the spacious private outdoor area surrounded by palm trees and lush tropical landscaping. The yard features soft artificial turf throughout, creating a comfortable and relaxing space to enjoy San Diego’s amazing weather year-round.
The outdoor space includes: - Dining table with seating for 6 - Large umbrella for shade - Lounge chairs for relaxing in the sun - BBQ grill - Ambient lighting for evenings outside
Whether you’re having coffee in the morning, grilling after the beach, or enjoying a glass of wine outside at night, the outdoor space feels like a private little tropical escape in the middle of Mission Beach.
Please note: - During summer weekends, holidays, and peak travel periods, parking in Mission Beach can become very limited. - You may need to park several blocks away and walk back to the cottage during busy times. - Parking availability usually improves later in the evening around sunset. Beach life in Mission Beach comes with a little parking adventure sometimes. :)
Air Conditioning - The cottage has a mini-split AC unit located in the main living area, along with ceiling fans throughout the home. - Combined with the coastal breeze, the cottage stays comfortable most of the year.
Like many classic beach cottages near the ocean, the bedrooms are not separately air conditioned and can occasionally become warm during rare San Diego heat waves or unusually humid weather.

Loved this house - perfect location, well-stocked, cute touches like a gas stove in the living room, all the beach supplies you could need! I would definitely rent this place again. This is a rental that feels like home.
The beach cottage was beautiful, well maintained, and comfortable.
The location was perfect for getting to either beach or up to the strip for some food.
Can't recommend enough.
We’ve been going to Mission bay for years and years and we LOVE THIS PLACE! The location is perfect and has everything you need! Paddle board for the kids, well stocked kitchen and linens and just generally wonderful!! The patio is tropical and private and always shady!! We will be returning for sure!
We were visiting friends in San Diego recently and wanted to stay in the Mission Beach area. The cottage fit our needs well! So close to both the Bay and ocean beaches, as well as plenty of great dining options. The garage is small, but we were able to get our Jeep Grand Cherokee inside so had onsite parking, which was a plus. Very nicely appointed cottage with ample kitchen space, a nice sitting area, a cozy deck and two comfy beds. The only "downside" were the occassional morning deliveries to the nearby resort loading dock, otherwise a great stay and very recommended! Definitely would stay there again!
What a lovely cottage. It's truly one of the first places I've stayed at where the description matched the experience. I'm from New England so I really can appreciate the antique rustic beach charm paired with modern necessities. It was lovely. Property manager was very present and communicable. We had an issue with the oven and she was right on it with a repair man. Location was nice. Only thing that stinks but was mentioned in other reviews is the parking. Here's the deal. If you can get a small rental car you can park in the garage. My SUV was just a little too long. So we had to park on the street which really isn't a big deal but I struggled to find the area free parking lots. Thankfully we never had to use those. We were able to find parking in front of or near the house every time we came back. I was in town with my mother and my daughter to visit my son and his wife who are in the navy and live on base housing. We were 22 minutes away from them but it's mostly freeway driving so it feels like a very short distance. 20 minutes or so from the zoo. We did not realize we were 1.5 hours from Disneyland so we took an impromptu visit there. Old town was neat didn't make it through half of it so will need to return. But that was 14 minutes away. You really are right near the bay. Only feet away. Or a couple minute walk to the ocean side. We will definitely stay here again or right next door. Similar style. Thanks for a great stay.
The location was great with access to bayfront & oceanfront sides of beach, house was great and had everything needed to enjoy stay. Our Prius car rental fit perfectly in garage space. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Great spa right down the street. Host provided great area suggestions & was responded quickly to our inquiries.
Great rental option and we will be back. We loved the location and distance from the bay and beach. The house is fantastic with all the beach gear to save the day. My only small issues is that the pillows are very thin and not good for side sleepers oh well. Next time I’ll buy my own. Everything else was fantastic and we left happy.
Our stay at this cottage was wonderful. It was beautifully decorated and beds were comfy!! Molly was very attentive and the location was perfect!! Steps away from the bay and ocean. Our kids live in San Diego so this location was perfect to get to everything we needed. Will definitely stay there again!!!
This was a beautifully refinished house inside which was perfect for the four of us. Very close to both Mission Bay and the ocean. The traffic noise was the only negative thing but not bad. We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location, so close to such great restaurants, private and quiet for being on main road, so amazingly close to the beach and loved the decor! Having a garage to park was a great perk as well. I would definitely recommend staying at Molly's. You will love it!
This was a fantastic place to stay for our family of four. The bay was on the one side only a few steps away, and the beach was on the other side. The only “downside” is parking. There is a small garage, but our suv would not fit so we had to park on the street, which was fine but when the street sweepers came we had to move and then lost our spot. Minor detail, still a 5/5, would totally go back again.

Birthday Celebration at the Beach
The owner is awesome to work with and this cottage is adorable, comfortable and CLEAN!!!
I loved the special touches such as fresh flowers, the chalk board at the door greeting us, and the chilled champagne. I loved how the house was decorated and it had everything we needed-oh, the fireplace, the private patio and bikes were a biggie for me too. My mom enjoyed her visit so much she is renting the cottage this year. I enjoyed it so much i wanted to eat in vs. go out for dinner.
Our trip to Pacific Beach exceeded all of our expectations starting with our accommodations. The cottage we stayed in was perfect.!! it was clean. It had everything we could possibly need for our temporary beach life we were experiencing.. I loved the privacy and we really liked how it was decorated with some of that old rustic vibe. The location was perfect as well.! Grocery store right down the street less than two minutes to get to the water which made it nice in case we had to run back to the pad for something we may have forgot. We were an absolute paradise in my opinion. Definitely would recommend to anybody.. we will be rebooking this exact same cottage next summer. It was sooooo nice! The kitchen was beautiful and very functional. Also, really glad we had a garage to park in,We had to rent a vehicle while we were there and I know parking in that area can be really difficult. At the end of the day, we were extremely grateful and happy with everything about staying at this property.
The house was perfect for us. We went to Ralph’s and got groceries do we fix not need to go out for breakfast of lunch . We rented a kayak from the record next door and had a great time. And garage was tight but my car fit. Parking would have been difficult if thd house did not have a garage
