Wandering along the bay and beach is just a couple of blocks away. Restaurants are also within walking distance. Found a good Indian place acceptable to my vegan son.

Nice home in a great neighborhood

Walking distance to Mission Bay and the beach and lots of restaurants and activities, this is a clean home in a great neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay here. Communication with the Property manager via text & email was excellent - just the right frequency/timing with all the information we needed.

Fantastic in every way!

Mermaid cove is a perfect getaway for those looking to take in all San Diego has to offer. The Casita gave privacy for my teen. The main apartment had everything for us to make delicious meals after shopping at the farmers markets. We could walk to the beach and it was a quick drive to all the city sights. The decor is immaculate and tasteful. Truly a gem. We can’t recommend it enough!

Nice Space for Work Trip

3 of us stayed here for our work trip. I loved how the 3rd room was detached from the main house so I could be separated from the guys and have my own bathroom (being a woman). Check in was smooth and the place was clean! Would love to stay here again.

Super location, great space

The Pacific Beach neighborhood was perfect for our family vacation, so many things in walking distance! The VRBO was quiet and clean, beds were a bit small and softer than we like, but overall it was a great fit for us. AAron was super easy to communicate with and made everything smooth and easy.

Excellent property! Perfect location! Responsive host!

Aaron was a great host! Communication was excellent and he was always quickly responsive to questions. House was extremely clean, well stocked, and organized. Our 18 year old son loved having his own "house" in the detached sleeping area and bathroom. The bay is a close 5 minute walk and the boardwalk is about 10 minutes.

Very nice & clean property in a fun location. The rooms were perfect for our group (mom, dad, and boys age 17 & 20) would also be excellent for multi gen travel or all adults. The 3rd bedroom is detached from the main house so not great if you have smaller kids. The hosts provided everything we needed including beach towels and chairs, boogie boards, games and more. Check in was easy but I had to have the instructions resent via text. Vrbo messages do not link to check-in instructions. Property manager was very quick and helpful. Easy walk to beach, even easier walk to Mission Bay. Restaurants, & groceries all in walking distance. Would 100% here stay again.

Family Vaca

The guest house and “casita” was perfect for our group of 6. With 2 children we were able to eat-in or walk to great places for dinner. Playgrounds and the beach were also within walking distance. Would definitely recommend and return again!!

Lovely cottage

Great cottage, lots of space, very clean and nicely decorated. Nice walk to beach. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed having a detached room and bathroom suite, which was enclosed with the main house. Felt like a small and private compound. Would recommend and stay again.

Great stay

Nice location. Cozy spot. A nice separate apartment. We never received the check in email so that was a bit of an ordeal (we walked into homeowners house by accident as we didn’t receive the check in instructions) It was quickly remedied and all was well after.

This property is amazing. Had everything we needed to feel comfortable for a weeks stay. Close to so many things (walking distance) like the beach, restaurants, coffee and donuts! Grocery store is very close as well. Quiet, clean and easy to find. Will definitely book again when I visit San Diego in the future.

Excellent Stay in N. Mission Bay

All communication was proactive and clear. Check-in was digital and seamless. The property is beautiful, clean, private, and exactly as listed. The nearest grocery store is less than a mile away, as are the bay and the beach in a very walkable and very friendly neighborhood. We've stayed in many rentals in many areas of San Diego and North County, and this one was exceptional. We will definitely stay again!

Great Property in PB!

My family and I had a wonderful weeklong stay at Mermaid Cove. The place couldn't have been cleaner and what a great location! 2 blocks to the bay and only a short distance further to the beach. All that PB has to offer is within walking distance - especially with the incredible weather San Diego is known for. Our host, Aaron, was on top of it any time we had a question and the communication was the best we've seen of any vacation rental we've stayed in domestically or abroad. Wish we could've stayed longer!
