Rockaway South- Boho-Coastal Design, GarageParking

Just steps from the sand and the Mission Beach boardwalk, The Rockaway House is the perfect choice for your next beach getaway.

This 1930's beach cottage has been completely renovated and designed with guests in mind, with a bright interior, modern kitchen and coastal-boho design.

This listing is for the downstairs unit, Rockaway South, which can be rented alone or in tandem with the upstairs unit, Rockaway North. See our profile for all available listings.

Rockaway South is a two bedroom, 1 bathroom beach cottage in the laid back San Diego neighborhood of Mission Beach. It is located on the ocean side of Mission Boulevard, just 4 houses from the beach.

It is a small space (less than 600sf) but we’ve designed it to take advantage of every square foot.

Please note that as of 1/20 we have taken several steps to mitigate any smell of "dampness" at the house including multiple dehumidifiers and a powerful air purifier. Recent heavy rains and high humidity combined with the close proximity to the ocean have made it a requirement for guests to take a few steps to help ventilate the house during their stay, especially during extended stays. We're confident that with the new tools we've implemented and guest cooperation in ventilating the house after showers that the damp smell will no longer be an issue for future guests.

The Rockaway House is located in the laid-back neighborhood of Mission Beach. Tucked away on a small court, it is just 4 houses from the boardwalk (on the ocean side of Mission Boulevard) and a short walk away from restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

The San Diego MTS "#8" bus has a stop within 2 minutes walk of the house. The northbound service goes to Pacific Beach. The southbound service connects to the Old Town Transit Center where you can access the Trolley, Coaster, or other Bus Routes.

Uber and Lyft are usually quick and reliable options, and taxis are also available.

San Diego has also recently introduced several electric bike and scooter sharing services. You can see their locations and pay to use them via app from several vendors. Bird, Uber and Lyft are some of the different companies involved.
