Less than a Block to the Beach! PB Getaway Parking

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (30)
"We enjoyed how close to the beach the unit was. The location is perfect! It's the perfect size for a couple. We loved having access to the hot tub especially after a long day of walking the boardwalk. It would have been nice to have more towels on the unit since they wouldn't dry after showing . There were also times when the hot water wouldn't come on at all for wuite a while in the shower. Overall, it was a good experience. "

Communication with the host was awesome, they answered my call and kept me informed of little details of my rental. It’s a hour or so walk to Sunset Cliffs and worth it!! 20 minutes walk to dog beach & beach. I’d stay here again!! "

Two Bedroom Beach Rental Near Belmont Park in Mission Beach, San Diego

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"We visited San Diego for spring break and this spot is in the PERFECT location! We have stayed at other places and it always seems to be a hassle to get around. We did have a rental car but didn’t use it until we left for LA. It was so nice to be walking distance to the beach, the bay, Belmont Park and plenty of restaurants! The owners were very quick to respond with any needs. The location is pretty busy late at night, thus it is a little noisy but our kids easily slept through it. Would...
