Nice rental location. It was great for our family. It was on the bay side, and the pictures were accurate about the beach and location. We loved the boardwalk right outside the front door. Also, the ocean side is only two or three blocks away, so we did walk over there several times. It is close to many places to eat. The bay side is a bit more quiet and was enjoyable for us.

Amazing location

You cannot beat the location. The master bedroom was a favorite with the Jaccuzi bathtub and huge walk in closet. The view from the bed was lovely to wake up to each morning.

Great place! Great location!

We loved the place and the location. Parking was a challenge as we had two cars but we were able to find parking and then walk to the place. Overall it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it for a stay on the beach.

Girls weekend at the beach

This property was perfect for our girls getaway at the beach! After another property I had reserved canceled our booking unexpectedly, I’m so happy we were able to find this gem! The host was so responsive to all my questions, we were able to check in and out easily, and the property had everything we needed and more! I definitely plan on staying here again!

Fantastic location!

We had such a wonderful time. It was a total of four of us and we were very comfortable. The unit is self could fit about seven people. We loved having our morning walks on the beach, a big kitchen to cook and a beautiful view. The beds were absolutely comfortable, And we all slept in, which we never do. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay, we will be back.

Just what the doctor ordered!

Had an amazing time at this gem located right on Mission Bay boardwalk. The place is awesome! We had 4 adults and it was perfect. Very well stocked, very clean, and a great, quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend this property.The garage is tandem. It fit an Acura MDX and a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but barely. Anything bigger or wider will not fit. Parking is a bit scarce, so just be aware. Great location. Very safe, the neighborhood is relaxed, quiet and a family environment. I've already recommended this place to my coworkers and friends. It really is a nice place.

Fun Memorial Day Weekend in Mission Bay

Our extended family stayed at this property to attend a nearby graduation. We enjoyed the excellent location-the Bay side is more chill and less crowded than the ocean side of Mission Bay, The place was very clean and everything worked. The bedrooms are quite roomy. The beach sand is 5 steps from the front door. A true "beach town" unit. Parking can be tough but the garage will hold 2 cars. Walk to beach, amusement park, public parks, etc. We would definitely come back.

Just Perfect!

It was clean and well-stocked. From the kitchen to the bathrooms and closets, we had everything we needed for two weeks. Wonderful views and perfect location for enjoying the SeaWorld fireworks. Far enough from Mission Bay Dr and Mission Blvd, so you can have peace and quiet, but close enough so you can be at SeaWorld after 5 minutes of driving and you can be at the major Mission Beach attractions with a 5-minute walk. We loved having a healthy breakfast every morning at the Funky Lemon - at the intersection of San Luis Obispo and Mission Blvd. That was a 7-minute walk away from the house. A beautiful way to start your day, with a walk by Mission Bay or Mission Beach. I can't say enough about Drift Vacation Homes. Communication was excellent. They responded within 30 minutes to any email inquiries and constantly kept us updated on everything through text and email messages. It was smooth sailing the whole two weeks we stayed there. Definitely coming back next year!

Truly a gem!

The Bayfront Gem is a beautiful little beach condo right on Mission Bay. I chose it for the size (3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths) and because it was right near the water. The pictures don't do it justice--almost the entire property has been remodeled. Only the full bathrooms haven't and even they were sparkling clean. The ground floor consists of the living room, kitchen, half bath, and laundry closet with stackable machines. There's a sofa, two chairs, table with four chairs, and stools at the breakfast bar. There was plenty of space for my husband and our two kids to spread out. The patio door opens to the patio which has a firepit and five chairs, and you can walk right out to the beach. We did cook breakfast at the house. There are plenty of pots, pans, and utensils, all clean and looked relatively new. I did wish there were a few more spices and maybe some basics like cooking oil. Overall it was a great setup for cooking and eating at the house. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The master has a small balcony that also overlooks the beach. The master shower has a lovely rainfall showerhead that I enjoyed. I didn't get a chance to try it but the tub has jets! Having two sinks in that bathroom was also nice. The one thing that might not work for some people is the parking. The garage is somewhat narrow. We did manage to park our Toyota Sequoia SUV in it but it took a lot of backing in and out to position it properly. It was nice to have a garage though, rather than parking on the street. The location is great for being near both the bay and ocean (5 minute walk). Belmont Park is also walking distance, as are several restaurants.
