The BEST of the best on Mission Bay!

Come join us for the best of the best on the sand in Mission Beach. Our beach house has unobstructed views of Mission Bay and you can enjoy the nightly summmer fireworks show from the large private deck.

The master bedroom (aka Captain's Quarters) has a comfy California king bed and a bathroom with a shower, jacuzzi tub, bidet and walk in closet.

There are two more bedrooms down the hall, the Crew's Quarters with a comfy queen bed and the Mermaid room with a comfy queen bed. Off the hall are both a guest bathroom and a full bathroom.

The kitchen is a cooks dream with a panoramic view of the water and all the amenities you will need, including built in appliances.

We are located just down the sidewalk from the Catamaran Resort where the Bahia Belle and William D Evans (both sternwheelers) dock nightly. This property is right on Sail Bay across from The Aquatic Center! There is a private elevator that services this property. We also provide a laundy room with a washer and dryer.

We welcome you to come experience it for yourself!

Relax on the bay

Susie was a great host; she was easy to contact and provided clear instructions. Her home was so tranquil and restful with a beautiful deck, kitchen and living room facing the bay. The shared space was so well planned with a lot of different places to sit and relax and enjoy the view. Will definitely look to stay here again.

Susie was an exceptional host—thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly helpful. From the moment we booked, her communication was clear and helpful, making our entire stay seamless and stress-free.The home itself was wonderful. The bayside location is truly special, with a spacious, comfortable deck that easily accommodated our group. Mornings on the deck were peaceful and serene, and each evening we were treated to SeaWorld’s fireworks, framed beautifully by the silhouettes of palm trees across the bay.It genuinely felt like a home, not just a rental. The kitchen was impressively stocked with every gadget, dish, and cooking utensil you could think of—making it easy and enjoyable to prepare meals. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like spices, cooking essentials, and hand soap in the bathrooms. These little conveniences made a big difference and added to the feeling of being truly at home.Susie has clearly put a lot of care into creating a welcoming and well-equipped space. I would absolutely recommend staying here. It’s a perfect blend of comfort, location, and hospitality.
