About this property

The former home of a writer and educator, this 1920's historic bungalow has been completely restored to provide a very comfortable stay at America's finest beach. Just steps from the boardwalk and beach (three houses from the boardwalk) and near Belmont Park and the Roller Coaster, the house comes equipped with all you will need for the perfect vacation. Kayak, beach chairs, sand toys, garage parking and an extra outdoor shower.

The master bedroom has a queen bed and flat screen TV. The second bedroom has bunk beds with a single and double. The comfortable futon in the living room makes into a double, where there is another flat screen TV. We also have a Pack N Play for your toddler.

The shelves are lined with over 300 quality books of all varieties. I keep the prices very affordable compared to any other stand alone house in Mission Beach, so it books out very well. Many people really like this historic-style cottage feel rather than 'all-the-same' condos that line much of the beach, and for good reason. The hard-wood floors and Dutch-door in the front provide a nostalgic step back in time, while enjoying the upgrades to the cottage over the years.

When our kids are grown we're moving back in!! So come enjoy the Mission Beach Cottage while you can. :)

World famous Sea World is five minutes away and the San Diego Zoo is ten minutes. World class dining can be enjoyed in downtown's Gaslamp Quarter, a ten minute drive. Mission Beach offers nightly sunsets, biking, sailing, rollerblading, surfing, boating, a roller coaster and the country's most entertaining people-watching.

Book now, for the vacation you deserve.

Cute cottage

So first I have to give a shout-out to David the property manager, he was GREAT! Location was close to Belmont so the kids had a blast and steps to the beach. Whenever I had a question for David, he responded quickly. Parking was great, I have a large SUV and there were two parking spaces for me. Washer and dryer on premises so no spending hours at a laundromat and wasting quarters. Love it and would recommend this place highly.

Needs refresh

The location is excellent, the bungalow is not restored… the heat and fireplace insert are not functional and or clean therefore the interior, including all the books, is moist and moldy. The ceiling has a lot of moisture damage. We do not have high expectations, this house did not meet ours… we will be staying nearby in the future.

Wonderful location

We chose to stay here because of its location, it’s SO close to the beach. Vintage beach cottage full of character. Needs a deep cleaning. Very quiet, peaceful-we enjoyed San Diego. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Dave

I first moved to San Diego to go to San Diego State University and landed in Mission Beach, thinking 'why would I ever want to leave here'. My wife and I lived in the house for many years and we will always keep it as it is instead of building condos on the property. We will return to the house at some point, but for now we enjoy having others enjoy the beach life.

Why they chose this property

One thing that attracted me to buy this house is its location so close to the beach and boardwalk. And it is a single family home with no attached homes, on its own lot. We also loved the historic value in an era when so many others are building new condos.

What makes this property unique

Having a single-family house on its own lot is a huge benefit. There are no common walls and you aren't sharing the yard with anyone. The proximity to the boardwalk and sand is a big plus, too, for a fraction of the price of the oceanfront properties which have very little privacy.
