Great place to stay, centrally located in Mission Beach. 4 min to the beach, 4 min to the bay, lots of walking trails. Would highly recommend, for whatever that’s worth from a stranger.

Would stay again

Perfect location walking distances to beach and businesses, yet a private patio area. Very clean. Beds were comfortable and extra bedding and towels are onsite. Fantastic communication with owners. They very much wanted to ensure our questions were met. Would stay again

Awesome spot

Wonderful spot for kids, parents and grandparents on our stay.. comfortable slept 6 and very well equipped with beach toys, bikes n chairs. Steps from the bay, close enough for the kids to run back n forth and also very close to the beach action but quiet at night.

Convenient location, great time in San Diego!

This is a great townhouse one block from Mission Beach and just a short drive to all the major attractions. There were a few good dining options within walking distance. The Interior is a bit dated but the listing description was accurate from photos. The condo was stocked with a good amount of supplies. Overall we enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting San Diego again!

Location! Location! Location!

The property is a great location. Easy walk to beach or bay - and near shopping and restaurants. My single complaint is the stained carpet and overall lack of tlc given to the house. I understand because of where the house is located people will rent it without any updates, but it is just kind of a bummer.

Family Rendezvous

We arranged to meet our young adult children in San Diego for the week and this home provided a great space for us to spend time together. The home is conveniently located near the beach and the bay. We enjoyed boogie boarding, Frisbee, and sunning at the beach while the bay gave us an opportunity to rent and experiment with paddle boards. There was no shortage of attractions (amusement park, restaurants, biking, coffee shops) within walking distance to keep us all satisfied.

Close to beach and commerces

This is definitely a lively area, even more so on weekend days. I wasn’t familiar with the mission bay atmosphere and was expecting it to be more like La Jolla. The beach is great, long and unobstructed. Great restaurants. You can walk to just about Everything you need for a few days Patio is lively and great for outdoor meals. It is downstairs from the kitchen. Interior definitely older, but accurate from photos. Nancy’s mgt company was awesome. Super quick response time to the minor issue we had.

The house needs a good cleaning and painting. Carpet is badly stained and worn

Fair. The pictures are deceiving and must be 10 years old. The 3 of us agree it was the worst rental we ever experienced.

Great size & location

Pros: location (4 minute walk to the beach), space (3 bedrooms plus a sleeper sofa and there was a bunk bed and another twin in one room), dog friendly, newer flooring, great water pressure. My 2020 Ford Expedition did fit with about two inches to spare front and back and we had to pull forward to use the washer and dryer. We did have to park our second vehicle elsewhere. Nice beach chairs, boogie boards, toys and bikes to borrow. Cons: being so close to Mission Blvd you do hear traffic, no AC, no dishwasher, very little area for the dog to potty, kitchen needs remodeling but functional. Fans were provided but box fans would be a better choice. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Great home, great location

We loved our stay in this home. The home could use a few upgrades. There is no garbage disposal, no dishwasher and the carpet is worn. They are minor things that aren't a huge deal. The home was comfortable, beds were nice, and it was clean. There were also beach toys, chairs and bikes in the garage (we couldn't use them because of weather but they seemed to be in working order). The washer and dryer were nice to have and were very clean. As mentioned in the description, garage parking room is limited. We were upgraded by the rental agency to a Toyota 4runner. It fit parked at an angle. It worked for us but space is something to be mindful of if travelling with a bigger group or 2 cars. Even in January, Street parking was limited. The communication with Nancy's vacation rental was great. They were responsive and checked in with us to make sure there were no problems. They allowed us an early check in which was so appreciated. Every communication I had with them was very professional and they were very kind. Location is fantastic. The home is just off of the bay and is walking distance to Mission Beach and Belmont park or Pacific Beach. Many walkable food options and a grocery store. Short drive to sea world, San Diego Zoo and other area beaches. I would happily stay in this home again and will look for other listings from Nancy's vacation rentals for my future San Diego trips.

Excellent Location!!!

The house was clean, with a small backyard-mostly shaded in the late afternoon. Very clean and accommodating. I would definitely recommend it and stay here again. The communication with property management was great. Quick responses. Highly recommended!

Great location

The house is located between the bay and ocean. Super easy access for each; located with easy walking distance of several great restaurants. One house back from the Main Street so a little noisy at times. Carpet was a bit stained but clean. But overall, really enjoyed the stay.

Our stay at Rockaway

It's a great spot. All was fine. We loved the yard and the pet friendlyness. Garage was great we fit an Equinox and a Mini Cooper in it. It's a bit crowded with the amount of furniture. Could probably pull some pieces and rearrange for more space. Also it's quite outdated and no dish washer. Everything was fine but the carpet really needs to go. I was expecting tile or laminate and the carpet was everywhere and very worn and stained etc. Nothing was bad just could use some love and updating. We still had a nice stay here with our family. Close to everything and many great things like the bikes came in handy! All in all a good stay.

Fully loaded for a family stay

We enjoyed every minute at this property! The kitchen was fully loaded with everything for our cooking needs. Plenty of beach toys, bikes, chairs, boogie boards, you name it!. There is a private courtyard that is fully secure, perfect for chilling with friends or for kids. The house was comfy, the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. We will definitely be back again!

Christmas Vacation

We visited for 4 days between Christmas and New Year's. The location of the house was excellent. It is an older home so the interior features are older and worn. It definitely could use a new coat of paint and some new flooring. It was clean enough for this visit. I generally like something really clean but it was okay. There were 2 long black hairs in the tub so not sure how good the cleaners are that come in, but again it was okay. The appliances all worked good. About half the outlets didn't work but we made do with what was there. We spent as much time out as we could so didn't really hang out inside. The property allows small dogs and I took mine, so that was a positive feature. We enjoyed ourselves and have no outstanding complaints about any of it. Would recommend to anyone-just know that it is older without many upgrades and cleanliness is just okay.
