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!

Fun Christmas!
My wife and I, son, DIL, and grandkids really enjoyed our 8-day stay in this Mission Bay property. What makes it extra special is its great location right on the bay with beautiful views and on-property parking!. This 3rd story condo was very clean, comfortably furnished, had a well-stocked kitchen (especially important for last minute Christmas baking), and comfortable beds. We had a minor maintenance issue that was quickly resolved. Our hostess, Susie, was exceptionally communicative and responsive, one of the best we’ve delt with over the many VRBO stays. While everything is clean and functional, the kitchen and bathrooms could use some updating. We would definitely recommend this property to others.

Perfect location
The terrace has the most beautiful view. It was so nice to just relax and look at the birds, the boats, the walkers. The third floor gives quite a bit of privacy, too. This is a very well run property. We would definitely stay again.

Breathtaking Bayside Home
We absolutely loved the home! It was so beautiful from the moment you opened the front door and saw an incredible view of the bay. Everything was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed! Susie, the owner, was extremely helpful and did all she could do make our stay the best! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location and accommodations
My two sisters and I stayed here, and we found it to be perfect for us. The view is fantastic and the furnishings were very comfortable, which was good because we had to cancel two days of activities due to the worst weather San Diego has ever endured. It has the best-equipped VRBO kitchen that I have seen. Susie was very easy to work with and even called to check on us during the storm. We would go back in a heartbeat!!

The best place we have stayed at so far at Mission Beach/Bay. The view was fantastic! Things that made it extra sweet were a very well-stocked kitchen, great location, bathtub to bathe toddlers, elevator, pack-n-play, beach chairs umbrella and ice chest if needed.

Just awesome!
We love this place so much, this is the first time we've done a return visit! The house is always clean and very well maintained. The view of the bay is just spectacular and never fails to bring that "wow" factor as soon as you walk in the door. Every detail has been very well thought out that makes your stay very comfortable and makes you feel at home. Susie is so great to work with, from preparing for your arrival to when you sadly have to leave and return to reality. Thank you for giving us our best vacations ever Susie!
