Perfect Place!

Our family had the best time here! It is conveniently located only a one minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to Belmont Park. All of the necessities were already there which was wonderful! The place is very clean and communication was great with property management. It’s the perfect place to stay for a large family or group!

Great Beach House!

Very close access to the beach and good area. They had tons of toys, chairs, and boogie boards. Owners were very responsive and gave good food recommendations. We loved hanging out on the roof hammock and front patio. We were also close to many San Diego sights (La Jolla, Sea World, Old Town). Would highly recommend!

Best House on Mission Beach!

Our family of 8, 4 kids and parents had an absolute blast at this house. It was clean, and so well stocked. Proximity to the beach was amazing and just a short walk to restaurants, bakery and fun. I highly recommend this house loved the set up of rooms, BBQ on the patio and the roof deck for sun sets. 10/10 stop looking and BOOK!

Sibling getaway

We had a wonderful week in Mission Beach and our house made it that much more special! The house was plenty spacious for my family and my sisters family, and there was everything we could have ever needed from a pack n play, beach toys, beach chairs, laundry, etc. My sister agreed that we would definitely come back again!

I would stay here again

Absolutely no complaints about this property. There was 6 of us, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The house is well stocked with plenty of extra beach towels, towels, and blankets. If you have younger kids, there are gates on the stairs to keep them safe. Close to everything. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Vacation Home

We loved everything about our stay! The location was perfect. It was steps from the beach and a very short walk to restaurants, markets, cafes, etc. The house itself was clean and had so many nice indoor and outdoor spaces. We had 8 adults and felt like we had plenty of room. The communication with the management was very prompt and they were able to get us in early and give us a late check out. I know that's not always possible but it's so nice when that can happen. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Overall good, but cleanliness lacking

Pros: great communication with hosts, well stocked, great location, good for kids, 2 parking spots, laundry Cons: could definitely use a deep clean (a LOT of dust under beds and behind furniture, cobwebs on ceiling- more common areas were well cleaned). No AC, but they did have tons of fans (these were also super dusty and probably never cleaned).

Perfect Place for a Family Vacation

We stayed at the Whalen house for our escape from the Montana snow. The house was perfect for our family of five and we had room to spare. It was less than a minute from the beach and there were plenty of beach chairs, towels, and toys. The roof top patio was a great bonus and a nice way to finish the day. You won't be disappointed if you choose this house for your stay in Mission Beach.
