I stayed here with my 19 year old daughter Aug 13-16 then moved her back to SDSU. We were thrilled to find Jarrod & Maria's place, it was perfect for us! It was spotless, cool, luxury bedding, comfy bed, nice amenities and great bathroom with a terrific shower. Nice windows w/great lighting and cute blinds. We shopped, using the cute vintage bikes/baskets and brought snacks & wine (for mom!) to the room and used the nice fridge/microwave. We LOVED the amazing instant start fire "pit" on the patio; we lived there as soon as we left the beach in the evening! Location is spot on - just steps from the beach, much closer than as pictured on the map! Quiet, great location for stores, restaurants, nightlife, and cute shops, we walked to everything during our stay. Well appointed beach goodies - super high end beach chairs, beach towels and nice beach umbrella. We didn't need to use the beach cooler because we were so close to the beach! Jarrod and Maria were so quick to respond to our initial questions (location...I'm directionally challenged - their directions were very accurate, it was all me!) and they were so warm and welcoming. I can't wait to return, Mission Beach was awesome, and both me and my daughter will only stay at Jarrod and Maria's place, because we just fell in love with it! Can't wait to return!
