Up to four of us stayed for 5 days in this lovely bungalow-style beach cottage with nice upgrades for a graduation/family visit. The rooms are quiet and cozy but not too small with pretty wood flooring and an uncluttered feel. Four people fit comfortably. There were plenty of linens. There were 6 huge windows that open to scoop in the breezes. There is also an AC unit which we only used once but would be a godsend on more sultry nights in July or August.
Location is 1 block from the “action” and ocean side beach but you wouldn't know it from the charming and quiet neighborhood vibe. A sidewalks runs in front of the house separate from the alley behind, creating a Carmel cottage feel. The front patio is quiet with a peek of the bay, and right off the kitchen dining area of this unit (841) so very convenient for outdoor dining at every meal. We met and chatted with a few of the neighbors, Mayberry-style, while enjoying the patio. You get the sea breeze all day. Sitting outside at night, you hear the ocean and not much else with Mission Bay quiet hours strictly enforced after 10pm.
Speaking of the patio, shade from the trees is lovely. The decks are new and well kept. The patio furniture is clean and comfortable. There are ambient lights at night on the umbrellas and trees. Even an extension cord for plugging in devices. I did several hours of work a day in this lovely spot. We shared the area with another couple from the rear unit for 2 out of the 5 days we were there. The area is spacious and sharing never felt uncomfortable.
The code-accessed garage (a must in Mission Bay in my opinion) is spacious and accommodated our mid-size SUV (Acura MDX) 190” (15’10”) long with no problem. The owner lists 18’ as the garage size, which seems accurate.
All in all, a great value for Mission Bay. We would definitely stay again.
