We enjoyed beautiful sunsets Also enjoyed watching all the people on the boardwalk. Very clean and lots of room for all. Very easy check in and out. The host was easy to work with.

Oceanfront Mission Beach 3 Br Condo with Panoramic Ocean and Beach Views!

10/10 Excellent

"This property was perfect—quiet, comfortable, family friendly, stocked with everything we needed and more, and within easy walking distance of restaurants and Belmont Park. Walk across the boardwalk and you are on the beach. The second floor unit offers more privacy, which we definitely appreciated, We spent a lot of time on the balcony watching the sunsets. We were there during a heat wave and were nervous about no AC, but the ocean breeze, cross breeze with windows open, ceiling fans, and standing fans kept us cool and comfortable. Hosts were very responsive. Would love to stay here again and would highly recommend."

10/10 Excellent
