Ben's Beach Bungalow 5, cheery Mission Beach 1BR!

Summary:
Just steps to the sand, this property has recently been completely updated to provide you with the feel of beach luxury! This unit is laid out to comfortably sleep 3. 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 is a second floor unit. Enter into an open L 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 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. 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 door!

Guest Access:
The whole unit is yours. This unit is part of a small and quiet 6-plex. Check-in is contactless. You will be given a door code 3 days prior to arrival.

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

Clean and good location
Pros: -Super responsive host when we got turned around getting to the property. -The location is truly amazing for beach access. -beach chairs and towels available -very clean! Areas for improvement: -it may have mentioned this detail in the listing and I overlooked it, but the AC is more like a window unit. It kept the living room area cool, but the bedroom was pretty warm during our stay. There is a tiny (tabletop) fan provided and a ceiling fan that helps some. Adding another AC unit in the bedroom (or my preference would be to just have the unit in there to begin with) would really help this place shine!

Great Location
We enjoyed how close the condo was to the beach and the bay. The condo had everything we needed for the beach. Chairs, towels and even an umbrella. The parking was extremely tight, but we were aware of this when we booked it. It just took some getting used to. We would definitely stay here again!!

75 Steps from Paradise
From the moment we arrived, this property fulfilled all of our expectations and more. It was clean, spacious and the surrounding area was serene and quiet. With a mere 75 steps to the sand [my husband counted! :)], it made our trip an even greater experience than we ever imagined. Thank you so much and we look forward to booking with you again next year!

Great apartment near the beach.
This is a clean well-stocked and well-located property, a block from the beach and a block from a bus that takes you to Old Town trolley stop. Can walk to groceries, restaurants. Do pay attention to the comments about parking...it was doable, but you definitely wouldn't want a big car!

Great location, close to beach but off the main pathway. Easy to assess San Diego attractions. They warned us but the parking is quite narrow, best to back in.

We will be back!
We had an amazing stay. Check in was very easy and the place was spotless when we arrived. It comes equipped with everything you need- dishes, cooking tools, towels, even shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The location is literally a 2 minute walk from the beach, you can hear the waves from the kitchen. It was perfect for 3 adults, however I wouldn't recommend any more than that. The sofa bed is smaller than we expected, so we were glad to have only one person sleep on it. Might work great for 2 smaller kids! Overall we were so comfortable, the value of the property is great. We will be back!

Great place to stay
While this isnt beach front, its close enough for those who are cost conscious. We spent most of our time out at the beach or walking around town so this place served our needs. It was clean and well equipped and would definitely recommend it.

The property is great and if you stay there make sure to eat at Moe’s. Property was clean and had coffee for brewing on top of all basic kitchen needs. Location was great. If you’re renting a car just make sure it’s a compact so you fit in the carport!! Would definitely stay again.

Welcomed amenities & As Described
very clean, superb location and loved there was parking (for a small car). I appreciated there was coffee, paper towels, and bathroom supplies (soap, shampoo, etc), as these small things matter. I loved that I received notice that I could get into the property Early (check-in) 👍 The only difficulty was a 10 AM check out, as this really doesn't afford enough time for breakfast, cleanup and departure. I would stay here again.

Staying at Ben’s Beach Condo
Again, we had a great time. The location was excellent because its 2-3 minute walking distance to the beach, 2-3 minute walking distance to Mission Bay Blvd. and then walking to bar, restaurants and shops located around the Mission Beach area. The condo good for 2 adults and/or 2-3 children, any more than a bit tight. Beach chairs and body boards were provided. A parking place for our rented car was provided and we heeded other renters advice to rent a small or economy size car, so that we had a vehicle to travel to other places in the San Diego area. The condo structure also had its own outside shower to rinse off the sand off ourselves and paraphernalia from our beach visits. I'd rate our condo place a 5 out 5; it was that nice!
