Ben's Beach Bungalow 3, Ocean View Mission Beach 1BR

Summary:
Just steps to the sand, this property is beachside of Mission Blvd and has recently been completely updated to provide you with the feel of luxury. This unit is laid out to comfortably sleep 4 in beds. It has a separate dining area and a full kitchen, so you always have the option of dining in or experiencing the vast array of PB restaurants and bars. But the highlight of this unit is the full ocean view from the bedroom...not many units in Mission Beach can boast this view!

The Space:
This is a second floor unit. Enter into an open L-shaped living room with a dining nook off the updated kitchen. Updated plank flooring and tile in the kitchen and bathrooms which is ideal for the beach. Smart TV with cable to meet all your needs. Kitchen is fully appointed (gas stove, oven, microwave, blender, coffee maker, toaster, and all the things to use them). Updated step in shower with lots of natural light in the bathroom. Ikea sofa sleeper in the living room converts into an over-sized full bed. Luxurious queen in the bedroom....wake up to the sights and sounds of the Pacific Ocean literally 100 steps from your window.

The Neighborhood:
Within walking distance of all Mission Beach has to offer, this charming unit is both centrally and conveniently located, yet offers the quiet comfort most look for in a vacation getaway. Best part of this location in north Mission is that you are a quick jaunt to all the nightlife, cafes and restaurants of Pacific Beach but you get to come home to the quiet of north Mission Beach.

Getting Around:
We provide a single covered parking space. It is accessed off the alley and as such can be a tight fit (as with about 90% of the parking spaces at the beach). We recommend a small- to mid-sized car to make it easier to park. We also recommend backing into the spot as that makes it easier to get in and pull out. There is free street parking available, but due to the high volume of beach-goers, don't count on parking nearby. Also be sure to read parking signs!
Looking for a unique way to get around Mission/ Pacific Beach during your stay? We've partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!

Other Things to Note:
This is "typical" beach parking so we do not recommend large cars. The spots will not accommodate anything more than a mid-size car or SUV.

For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.

We only offer the air conditioning between May and September

Interaction with Guests:
We are a self-service destination but a full-service management company. We are just a phone call away and have agents that are almost never more than 5-10 minutes away should a need arise.

Beach Vacation
This is our 2nd year spending time at Ben’s Beach Bungalow 3, and like last year, we had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this rental for comfort, great location, parking, and steps to the sand. We hope to be back next year for year 3!

The property is perfect for a little getaway. It’s a few feet away from the beach. Additionally there are many places that are walking distance from the apartment. Would definitely stay again.

Nice beach getaway
Really enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable bed. Easy access to the beach. Well equipped kitchen. Parking space is very very small (as described in the property description) …but just enough for our Toyota Camry. All the other vacation rental parking this close to the beach was the same though. Communication with property management was excellent. Prompt response with questions I had. I would absolutely stay here again. :)

Birdie at the Beach
Loved the proximity to the ocean and could hear the sound through open windows. Kitchen well equipped, bed comfortable and lots of towels. Boogie boards, sand chairs, beach towels provided. Parking was not usable - garbage cans blocking turn in and just too narrow to allow use. Street parking difficult especially on Sunday.

Great bang for the buck
Great communicating management team, great location you can walk to everything and value wise 5+. However, the assigned paking space sucks big time! If you rent this property you need to drive a compact or small four door automobile to get it in the spot.

Great location & plenty of space
Overall a great place to stay for my week in SD! Steps from the boardwalk/beach, and less than 5 minutes walk into Pacific Beach. Plenty of space for my things, and the unit came with beach chairs, towels, blanket, etc.
