About this property
70 steps to surf! A+ location! A+ Patio! A+ parking!
This surfside cottage is a family favorite! We are located at 726 Dover Court in South Mission Beach, with one amazing parking space and an outdoor courtyard that will be your favorite place to rest and relax after a day in the sun! The unit sits on the ground-level of a two-unit building, with a spacious courtyard patio that is private to the cottage. The patio is about 15 x 20 feet in size and is an outdoor space you will not find easily elsewhere for this value! Enjoy grilling and dining while just steps away from the deep blue sea, the boardwalk, sandy beach, and surf! Play in the ocean right in front of lifeguard tower #12, located straight from the sidewalk leading you to the beach. Just four doors from the shore, it will take you only 70 steps to get to the boardwalk, sand, and surf! We love that all of the adventures and activities are so close, yet perfectly distanced so you can still find quiet respite at the home when desired. Take a short stroll a few blocks North and you will find fun for all ages at Belmont Park. The famous Giant Dipper Roller Coaster, arcade, minigolf, shopping, dining, and more can be found right here on the boardwalk! Beautiful fitness center and indoor Plunge pool welcomes all ages for fun out of the sun. Small grocery markets and eateries are all conveniently located within walking distance from the home. There are many nearby rental shops offering bicycle, kayak, surfboard, sailboat rentals and much more! Keep your vehicle parked and explore the area by foot, bicycle, or blades! We would love to have you visit us! We have lots of returning guests come back year after year to their favorite beach spot, and we hope you will too!
Interior: This bright and sunny cottage-style unit is perfect for a single family with kids or two couples. Sleeps up to 6 guests in beds, or 8 guests using sofa bed. The home is very welcoming and open, with all rooms connecting in a large circle. Enter the home from the front door and you will be in the kitchen that overlooks the living area and the courtyard patio. From the living room you will pass the bunk bed caves (TWO TWIN BUNKS which are open to the hallway and living area with their own TVs) and to Bathroom 2 and then Bedroom 2 (KING BED). You will then find Bedroom 1 (KING BED) which has the ability to close a door to this hallway, creating a main suite that attaches to Bathroom 1. Bathroom 1 has two entry doors, one leading to Bedroom 1 and the other leading to the front door and kitchen. There is a private stackable washer & dryer in Bathroom 1, allowing for convenience and light packing! Updated vinyl plank flooring can be seen throughout the home, along with fresh beachy decor. Full kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, pantry, and plenty kitchen appliances. Lots of windows give this beach house character and a bright beach cottage feel. Work from here with fast WiFi and plenty of space to sit at the breakfast bar or outside on the patio.
Additional Information: PLEASE no pets! While we love our furry family, we have a strict no pet-policy in order to keep our homes clean and allergy-free for all guests! PLEASE no parties! We are a very family-friendly property and will not tolerate partying or noise complaints of any kind. Many residents live here year-round, so please be a good neighbor! Enjoy the selection of beach/sand toys and boogie boards available at the property. Additional guest laundry room with two washers and two dryers are available for use as well.

We had a great stay! Location was amazing! The home is as described and seen in the photos. We loved the patio in the morning for coffee and again at night with the bonfire. We would definitely stay again if we return to San Diego.
This is one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in . The location was amazing , a few houses from the beach and the house was clean , comfortable and the bunk beds were perfect for kids. Great place !
We had a great stay! Location, location, location! And the outdoor patio was awesome! It was the biggest and prettiest patio on the block! The house was very comfortable and exactly as advertised! We would stay here again!
We loved this place! Location was wonderful! House was clean and well represented in the photos. Communication with the owner was easy and fast. Would absolutely stay again
I have all positive things to say about our time here…from the outdoor patio area, the location, a well stocked kitchen and the quick response from the home owner.
Stayed here for 4 days. We loved the location and the house. Kids had a great time playing the the backyard and being within a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend!
The accommodations were perfect for our family. The proximity to the beach, spaciousness of the home, and wonderful backyard made for an amazing vacation. Our 6-year old grandson said, "I'm going to miss this place the most!" over the Zoo and Sea World (especially his bunkbed with his own tv!). Thank you for sharing with us - we certainly hope to be back.
Had a great time staying in Mission Beach. Property was very close to the ocean. Enjoyed walking the beach and boardwalk. Property was great. Very family friendly. Owner was very responsive! Thank you!
We loved the place. Super convenient to everything we wanted to do. Clean. Nice touches like the firepit on the patio. Beach toys if it had been beach weather.
The owners are SO extremely kind! We loved staying steps from the beach and the park! Everything was wonderful! Couldn’t recommend this more for my little family.
Nice comfortable place. There were 4 of us visiting and we were able to walk to dinners and drinks out. The beach is right down the walkway. The hosts very quick to respond to questions and were very friendly. We would stay here again.
We had two family’s here and it was perfect! Distance to the beach and Belmont were exactly what we needed!
I did message on day 1 or 2 of our stay about the fridge and never heard back but we made it work!
The house is old but quaint and has all of the necessary amenities. It is really close to the beach as advertised. It is a short distance to some of the major attractions in San Diego!
Loved the proximity to the beach. There are a couple of markets within a couple of blocks and a great little coffee stand. Only complaint was that the sheets on the top bunk were not clean, they were covered in sand and crumbs.
We had a great time gathering on the patio with a fireplace that warmed our hearts and our bodies. The property manager was so nice. The place was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking needs. A short walk to the beach!
Perfect! Our daughter graduated from MCRD. This property is only minutes away from there and the airport. We are 8 when we are all together, it was a little cozy inside with all of us inside, but we were all comfortable sleeping and 2bathrooms
I love this little beach house. We have stayed there the last 2 summers for a week. It steps away from the beach and close to Belmont Park. I love that the family could come and go as we pleased because it was so close to things- sometimes doing things together and sometimes apart. We had a fun and relaxing time. I was hoping to book again this summer but it looks to be blocked with grey. Maybe next time.
This beach house is really in the middle of it all, yet it has a quiet, laid back vibe. It’s just steps to the beach and a very short walk to Belmont Park, They thought of everything and had beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, and sand toys to use during the stay. The washer/dryer combo was incredibly convenient for wet swimsuits. The whole stay was a wonderful way to begin our summer break. We will most definitely be back!
Everything was perfect. The place was exactly as advertised. The single story was perfect for my parents in their 80s. The patio was even better than advertised. We had everything we needed. The beach was so close, yet the place was quiet enough that we could even hear the waves. I have already shared this place with friends to book for their families.
Location is perfect for family beach vacation. Much appreciated the on-site parking. Beach, food, groceries, coffee a very short walk. The bunk bed cave was perfect for our four year old grandson. Lots of beach toys available to use. Generous outside patio space, which was great for any/all meals. We did hear foot steps, etc from upstairs rental unit, but did not find that bothersome. We had a great stay and would recommend.
