    Things to Do in Mission Beach

    Mission Beach offers miles of oceanfront boardwalk and a multitude of local experiences and outdoor activities for fun under the Southern California sun. Play in the surf at one of the area’s famous beaches, join in a game of beach volleyball, go fishing in Mission Bay, ride a historic seaside roller coaster at Belmont Park or learn about sea life and conservation at SeaWorld® San Diego. Check out these popular things to do in Mission Beach and Mission Bay during your getaway with the San Diego Beach King.

    BELMONT PARK
    Founded in 1925, Belmont Park is a beachfront amusement park and home to the historic Giant Dipper roller coaster and Plunge swimming pool.

This was a great location. Steps from the beach! And it was a 2 bedroom 2 bath which is hard to find. And a private rooftop deck is pretty awesome! It also had a balcony as well where you can sit and watch the waves.Looks like they did charge me a cleaning fee however, even though we spent a good amount of time cleaning upon exit.

The selling point is obviously the 10 seconds walk to the beach. For 12 days, we enjoyed awesome weather and super easy access to Mission Beach. The penthouse is great for a couple, even for hosting local friends for a daytime barbecue. The roof deck is super spacious and has tons of seating for hosting. The place was clean and caught the ocean breeze, even had AC if it ever got too hot. Our pup loved sitting on the living room deck and watching the strandway.

Family getaway

This VRBO was perfect for our young families stay. The location was unbeatable, walking distance to so many shops, restaurants and the beach. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with things we used. Overall the unit was clean, comfortable and big enough for myself, my husband and my three children.

Great stay, roof deck is the star of the place (and enormous) along with proximity to beach. Parking was tight but reasonably achieved (some mission garages are impossible even w smaller cars). Note that there are two bedrooms each with a bed, and then two couches that fold into beds in the small living room - from the pics I thought there were 4 real beds (but that may have been a me problem in how I interpreted the pics and layout / it worked out). Interior isn’t high end and the living space not huge, but was clean and the price fair / competitive for what it is. In short if you don’t need super luxury interior / furnishings, this place gets you an enormous super luxury roof deck and amazing beach proximity in a clean place and at a price that isn’t super high end for the area - all in all a good deal since that’s likely what you’re coming to the beach for!

Awesome location and property

This is a very nice place to stay that is so close to the beach. The property manager was readily available to help when we couldn’t figure out something in the bathroom and he didn’t hesitate to come immediately and show us rather than instruct us over the phone. Very kind! The rooftop deck was fantastic!

Beautiful house & location!

We had a great stay here. The location was absolutely perfect being so close to the beach but not directly on the boardwalk. The only thing, which wasn’t an issue for us since we were strictly there to relax, was the wifi did not work at all while we were there. So if someone had to do work, I could see that being an issue, but otherwise a perfect stay! We will be back.

We had such a wonderful time at this property! It was SO close to the beach and plenty of space for our family of 6. My kids loved the rooftop "lounge" and my teen thought the grill was fantastic, if a little slow to heat. Air conditioning made it comfortable even in the evening sun. The kitchen and garage were very well supplied. Our minivan did just barely fit in the garage with lots of maneuvering. We did have to pull it out a couple feet for dryer access. We had a great week playing in the ocean and sand.

Perfect house!

Halfway through our stay, I was already looking at other properties that are ran by Maurice and his team for a future vacation. This house specifically is in the best location. Close walking distance to everything, comfortable beds, perfect places to relax from the rooftop to the patio and so much more. As many other have mentioned, Maurice is the perfect host. He replied within minutes to all requests and was very kind. I can’t speak highly enough and would give this place more than 5 stars if possible. Perfect getaway and we are looking forward to visiting again!

Great Location

My husband, 2 year old and I stayed in the penthouse for 5 nights and enjoyed the location and private space, including the garage and rooftop. The property manager was really responsive to any questions or requests we had. I don't think the property is good for young kids given the safety considerations of the stairs and low windows but we made it work. I recommend replacing the pillows, primary bedroom bed and broken fan/light to make it even more comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience.

Misrepresentation of sleep capasity

The location was great and the facilities were fine. But, they represented that it slept 8. There are two bedrooms, one queen and one king. The main living room has two futon like couches that unfold into “ beds”. They are not comfortable and impossible to put bedding on. So, they really shouldn’t represent that it sleeps 8. Maybe 5 or 6, but really perfect for 4. Hey, but the roof top area is cool.
