Best cottage ever!

This was our second time staying here and I can't think of one thing that we would change. The decor, the area, proximity to the beach. Mattresses and couch are super comfy, everything is well stocked. It's fabulous and we will definitely be back!

Cottage on the beach

Beautifully designed and cared for 2 BR walking distance to beach. 2 adults and 2 teens comfortably fit in and all enjoyed the entire stay. Equipped better than any VRBO we have stayed in. Anyone should enjoy this beautiful beach cottage.

Fantastic stay!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Seale Shack. It met the needs of our family perfectly (we traveled with our 2 year old and 6 year old). Our favorite thing by far is the proximity to the beach, and all of the beach accoutrement that was supplied - towels, chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys. The property was very comfortable, and it was really nice to not have any stairs (everywhere else we've stayed in Mission Beach is a multi story building). All in all a really great stay!

Perfect!

House is so cute and can’t beat the location. Linda is the best host and so easy to work with. They are locals so they were always around if we needed anything. Garage is packed with beach gear and bikes and having a place to park is priceless in that area. Highly recommend!

Perfect location and patio!

This beach house is fantastic! It was clean, cute and comfortable. The garage was very well stocked with beach stuff. We really enjoyed our stay. The front patio is the perfect place to sit and relax and people watch. Must get cinnamon rolls from Olive! Perfect location just a few steps to the beach and easy walk to PB. Only suggestion would be to have a couch and gas fire pit on patio. We spent a lot of time hanging out there! Overall a great stay and we would stay there again.

AMAZING Beach Cottage!!

My family and I (including our 11 and 13 year old daughters) have been coming every summer for the past 5 or 6 years to Mission Beach for a week and have stayed in a different home every time. This home is by far our favorite place thus far! Linda has made this cottage very cozy and has thought of all of the little details that her guests would need. Her garage is filled with beach toys, plenty of bikes, boogie boards, umbrellas and chairs (the list goes on!). Her kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had in a rental. She was also fantastic with communicating before and during our entire stay. The location is great (steps away from the beach) and we absolutely loved eating all of our meals and just relaxing on the front patio. We would absolutely love to come back and stay at the Seale Shack again!

Excellent stay at the Seale Shack for a family of 4 (two adults, two kids 9 and 11). The property is immaculately clean and the most well stocked VRBO I’ve ever rented. Beds are comfortable, two bathrooms are great for families. The front porch is lovely and you can hear the ocean from a chair in the shade. The house location is great - two houses back from boardwalk and beach access. Walkable to pacific beach and Belmont park (each about 10 min in either direction).The garage is a great perk - just make sure you only have a midsize or smaller car. The beach gear is plentiful and in great condition. Linda is also a responsive host. Wonderful stay and made for a great home base for our San Diego vacation.

Property is perfectly placed. Steps from the beach. Stayed for the week with my parents and son. The patio and dining room provided more than enough room for our family. Property was amazing and we look forward to staying again in the future.

Host and the house were spectacular! We wanted location and this spot was perfect- steps away from the ocean and just a few to the bay. The house was so cute, cozy and stocked for all our adventures! We loved being able to use the bikes daily to explore! So many great local restaurants and coffee shops within a few steps also! Easy to get around with our car rental too. So nice to have the garage access. The deck was our favorite spot too!
