Ben's Beach Bungalow 2, 100 Steps to Sand

Summary:

Just steps to the sand! Take our boogie boards and beach equipment out for the day and come home to grill on your private front porch or walk to the restaurants in Pacific Beach. This unit is laid out to comfortably, sleep 4 in two beds (a queen, and a sofa bed). 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.



The Space:

This recently renovated 1BR is typical Mission Beach. Efficient use of space maximizes the sense of space. A queen in the bedroom and full pull out in the living room provide the sleeping arrangements. You have a fully stocked kitchen with all you could need to prep (pots, pans, utensils, blender, toaster, microwave, oven, stove and service for up to 6 guests).



Guest Access:

The whole unit is yours. This unit is part of a small and quiet 6-plex with 3 long term and 3 vacation rentals. The patio in the picture is shared with other guests.



The Neighborhood:

Mission Beach is an amazing coastal community designed around "courts" with all of the residences facing one another across a sidewalk. That design creates a cozy and homey feel (and also limits the amount of car traffic) making Mission Beach the ideal spot to "live at the beach".



Enjoy several miles of long, flat boardwalks for riding bikes or skateboards or just going on a stroll at sunset. Restaurants, bars and amusement parks are all within walking distance. And of course, the beach on one side to surf or the bay on the other for more casual water play (unless you decide to kayak, stand-up paddle board or sail...all rental options are just minutes away).



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 midsized 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.



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:

Check-in is virtual, as you'll be provided with a digital Guest Portal and a personalized door code. Vacation Rentals by Aaron is a full-service property management company, and will be available 24-7 in case you need anything during your stay.

Love the location!

It was the perfect location! Steps to the beach, which was super convenient to make food/drinks, use the restroom, etc. Super comfortable bed and pillows! It even had beach chairs and extra towels. Very comfortable, and we had everything we needed! The lock to get in and out is easy to use, but the door knob is a little tricky to get use to. Only complaint was how loud the people were upstairs. You can hear every footstep. Couch is different than in the picture, but we didn't care. It was fine.

Perfect Beach Hideout

We loved that it was a short walk to both the ocean and the bay, and that everything we needed - towels, chairs, umbrella, even toys - were provided in the unit. Nicely appointed kitchen, lots of light; we adored it and we can't wait to book again!

Great relaxing time

Nice cozy place just a few steps from the beach. I would rate this place a 4.8. The only reason not a 5 is because of the lack of hot water from the bathroom sink. Nice and clean!

Great location

We had a great stay at Ben’s beach bungalow. The location is great and an amazing value. The property was just as described- maybe even bigger then we anticipated. The check in process was very easy and great communication with the host. The parking is as described and best for smaller cars- we didn’t want to risk our van so we found street parking fairly easily.

Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I had the most wonderful time at this little beach front property celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary. The house is located just steps away from beautiful Mission Beach, delicious restaurants, fantastic retail shops & lively nightlife. The house had a variety of beach equipment to use (chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc.) which was very convenient being that we flew in from out of town. We would definitely love to stay here again and would highly recommend.

San Diego Stay

Property was clean & in a good location. Bottom floor very noisy. Furniture is NOT as was shown in listing. No sectional, The couch was a tiny short futon style couch that was not comfortable for my 6'3" husband and a butterfly folding chair. We knew it would be raining when we booked and planned on being indoors more, so we would have pick a different vrbo if we knew what the furniture was really like.

Thin walls and ceilings

The furniture in the picture does not match the actual furniture at the VRBO the walls and ceilings are paper thin. The people above us were up making noise at all hours of the night. Especially between 2:00 AM and 4:00Am. The garage is on for a small vehicle at best. You can see scuff marks all over the wall where people have tried to park. The location is very good and the property was clean.

Perfect location

This stay was perfect for what we were looking for. We were so close to the beach. There were restaurant close by, and it felt safe. The parking was tight but was so nice to have. Probably the biggest time saver it kept us from driving around looking for a spot to park. We used the boogie boards and had a blast in the cold water( bring a shorty or wet suit) we rented bikes and explored. We sat on the beach and enjoyed the ocean breeze. Overall a nice stay.

Nice stay

The location and the response from the host was great! I would agree to others reviews that it didn’t look as modern and things were missing (ottoman, rug, gray couch). It didn’t bother us so much but might if you’re a stickler to these kind of things. It was pretty noisy on occasion but what can you expect being on the bottom floor. But overall it was good.

Awesome location!!

The place was nice, clean, and extremely close to the beach. Dining or groceries are a short walk. There are beach chairs, boards, spare blankets, and fans in the closet. The only issue we had was that the two different groups staying above us were loud. You can hear every step, phone ring, and door shut. First night sounded like the person had a wooden leg. We didn’t stay in the room much, but if you are a light sleeper, book one of the upstairs rooms.

Great beach location

This property was perfect for a week getaway. It was super close to the beach and it felt cozy in the actual place. There was one carport parking. The alley way is pretty thin, so really do bring a smaller car to make it easier to park. The only complaint I have is whoever was upstairs at the time was very heavy footed. Not sure if it was a rental or someone lives above. But otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay. Restaurants all around to go to and plenty to do. Would highly recommend staying here.
