About this house rental
**IMPORTANT** I only list my property on VRBO and Homeaway. Any listing you see on Craigslist is fraudulent. Thank you.
GREAT NEWS - we recently had central AIR CONDITIONING installed. Come and enjoy the cold air in your home at the beach!
Your Mission Beach vacation awaits! This charming two bedroom cottage is just steps from beautiful Mission Bay and about 100 yards from the Pacific. Our home is unique in the beach area as there are very few of the original single story, single family beach cottages left. Enjoy your privacy of a single dwelling home versus sharing space in a condominium. Our cottage is a delightful, newly remodeled, two bedroom, one bath house with one parking spot in the rear big enough for a mini van or medium size SUV. Take a look around our site, read through the property details below and book your reservation today. Hurry...the beach is waiting for you!
Our Home went through a significant remodel (2013) which included an all new kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, and beautiful new cabinets. All new energy efficient windows throughout, new central heating and now AC!!, fresh paint inside and out, remodeled bathroom and all new furnishings and fine linens. The flagstone patio has seating for six, a large umbrella, and a natural gas barbecue. Tangiers Cottage is your home at the beach.
A beach house is not a beach house without the beach, and this house delivers! The beach on the bay, just a few steps from our front gate is quiet and peaceful, with warm white sand. For a little more action, head across the street to the ocean to enjoy the surf. This home has a strong water presence, only improving after sunset as the night lights of Riviera Drive light up the waters of Sail Bay. Enjoy the warm summer evenings on the front patio relaxing with your family.
You will be coming in off the beach early to enjoy this delightful beach retreat. The quaint, new kitchen is perfect for cooking up your favorite meal. It will keep you home for dinner instead of going out. It’s just too easy to open a bottle of wine and toss some fish or steaks on the Ducane grill. Make it a family night and watch a Blu-Ray movie (Red Box ¼ mile away) or your favorite show on HBO on the 42” LCD flat screen.
The master bedroom comes furnished with a queen size bed, large windows to enjoy the summer sun and a 26” flat screen TV with a connected Blu-Ray player. The 2nd bedroom has a bunk bed with a full size mattress on the bottom with a twin mattress on top. There is also a twin size blow up mattress if needed. The remodeled bathroom has a combination shower/tub, travertine floor and new fixtures throughout. There are ceiling fans in each room.
The beach house has a fully stocked kitchen (less food and drinks) with service for 12, plenty of brand new pots and pans, tons of bakeware, and appliances which include a gas range and stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator with ice maker. Nice bed and bath linens are provided as well. For your entertainment, there is Digital Cable TV which includes premium movie and digital music channels. There are two Blu-Ray players as well as a high-speed Wi-Fi Internet connection. For your beach days, there are boogey boards, some beach chairs, scads of beach towels and a beach umbrella available for your use. The house does NOT have a washer/dryer but there is a laundromat (Beach Laundromat) just 1/2 block from the house right on Mission Blvd.
This great getaway is settled nicely in the middle of everything that's fun about the best beach in San Diego. Park your car in the back then put your keys away, because not only will you be walking to the beach, but also to a number of restaurants, coffee shops, super markets, fabulous shopping, great night life and attractions during your stay. Mission Bay Park is just south where you can watch fireworks put on by Sea World every night, maybe rent a sail boat or go for a sun-filled boat cruise. There is always Belmont Park's 'Giant Dipper' roller coaster and Fun Zone the kids would love! Mission bay Sportcenter is just outside your door where you can try out a jet ski, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, pedal boats or even rent a power boat.
And you can’t miss the 8 mile boardwalk just a few steps from your patio! We highly suggest you rent some bikes from one of the many rental shops just around the corner and enjoy one of the best bike rides in all of San Diego. With the boardwalk hugging both the beach and bay, you’ll find numerous playgrounds, delicious restaurants, participate in some great people watching, and get exercise all at the same time!
The Mission Restaurant (3 minute walk) is wonderful for breakfast or step up to the Catamaran Resort and Spa (5 minute walk) to spoil yourselves. The Catamaran offers one of the most beautifully appointed spa experiences with exercise equipment, massage and other 5-star pampering for the most demanding vacationers. They serve a nice lunch and dinner as well. Saska’s restaurant (5 minute walk) serves great steaks, fish and has a very popular sushi bar.
San Diego is also home to Sea World, Lego Land, The San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. All are great family attractions only a few miles away. The Gas Lamp Quarter, Coronado Island, San Diego Harbor and La Jolla are more of the same, all within a short drive. Or maybe you're feeling a little more adventurous; you may want to drive 90 miles North on Highway 5 and hit Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm.
Remember this is a complete Beach Home and not a condo. You will not be sharing any walls with anyone. Also, you are in North Mission Beach and do not need to worry about the bothersome airplane noise of South Mission Beach. You are also in the heart of Pacific Beach and can walk to all the wonderful shops up and down Garnet Avenue.
This beach house is our home during the off season and we request that you treat it with care. Your neighbors are close by, so loud or not so loud parties are not welcome. We don’t rent to students on vacation or vacationers who need a keg to have a few friends over. This is a home for those who want to kick it in Mission Beach and enjoy everything San Diego has to offer. Come be our guest...we know you'll love it!

Great location. Bathroom a little small but doable. Very nice place
5.0 / 5.0
We (3 adults) thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. The central A/C is the one accommodation that really stood out. We slept comfortably at night and we were able to lounge inside during the day in total comfort due to the A/C. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathroom shower water pressure was great. The kitchen was well equipped, and had a coffee maker. The living room couch seats 4 comfortable, and there's also a 4 person kitchen table. The location is quiet, and is steps away from the bay and you can see it clearly from the patio. The beach is not far, just a short 1-2 minute walk. The BBQ grill and the 6 person patio table came in handy when grilling and having nearby family stop by for dinner. The house is also close to Ralph's groceries, many bars and restaurants, yet still a comfortable bike ride away from the Belmont roller coaster area. I have a Toyota Tacoma and my front end stuck out about 4 inches past the red line, which is obviously within the acceptable limit (I was never ticketed or warned, etc). The parking spot had plenty of width. There is a side gate area that has about 6 or 7 beach chairs and there's about 4 beach umbrellas. There were 3 boogie boards, one was for a smaller child. There were a lot of toys for younger children as well. There was also enough room to store 2 locked bikes at night in this gated side area, out of view from the courtyard. We would definitely rent this beach house again, and look forward to doing so.

We loved staying in this charming cottage so close to Mission Bay. We visit the area every summer and while we love going to the beach, we appreciate the quiet, family vibe on the bay side. The space is simple, but functional for a couple or small family. Great hot shower!

This was the perfect spot for our family to escape the AZ heat-close to the beach, steps to the bay! We loved the nearby restaurants and Sharon had lots of beach toys for our kids, an amazing stay! We would come back in a heartbeat!!

We came to San Diego to celebrate my daughter’s 7th birthday. This was a great location to walk to the beach. The bay side had very calm waters. We were provided with toys and boogie boards for her to be able to play.
The house was very clean and well cared for. I felt very comfortable with the house and it was a quiet location without a lot of partying noise outside. The little that we heard was actually pretty comical.
There were several restaurants and coffee places that were walkable from the property. The snacks that were left for us on the kitchen table were a nice touch and were very much appreciated.
We rented a car for our time there and fit perfectly into the spot provided. It was a 40 minute trip to Legoland and a fast trip to visit Torrey Pines as well. If we come back again we would love to stay at this little gem of a house again and I would recommend it to anyone else that is considering it.
Thank you so much!

Looks small and lives large! Recently renovated, immaculately clean. Excellent supplies for all rooms.. linens, paper goods, cleaning supplies, cooking utensils, etc. Lovely patio with bbq out front and lots of beach things, and beach towels, beach chairs. Fantastic location! We loved it!

Travelled as a family of 3, including a 5 year old.
House is perfectly located between the Bay and the Beach, with some great cafes and restaurants within walking distance. House had everything needed for a day at the beach, including towels, umbrella, chairs, and sand toys. Across the bay is a sport center where we rented paddleboards for the day.
Neighborhood is quiet and feels quite safe. Hosts were responsive whenever needed.
As mentioned in the description, parking might be tight depending on the vehicle-we had a Nissan Rogue and it fit well.
Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Mission Beach!

This house is small but was perfect for my little family of 4 (1 year old and 3 year old). We were able to walk back and forth to the bay everyday. Sharon was extremely communicative and we knew exactly what to expect. We hope to be back next spring!

What a cute little beach bungalow and GREAT location! Drove in from Phoenix for spring break with my two daughters (17 and 10). We unpacked and immediately checked out the bay (maybe a 2 min walk) then the beach (about a 5 min walk). It was SO nice to be able to just carry a couple towels with us not have to worry about parking, etc. We did use the beach toys and chairs on the side of the house to make sand castles and lounge. It was nice not having to purchase or pack these extra items from home. We were also able to walk to nearby restaurants for dinner, morning coffee and snacks. Better Buzz coffee is nearby, Rosemarie's burgers is across the street, there is a taco shop north and south of the house and Molly's for morning pastries was yummy. The bungalow itself has a nice comfy sectional couch to lounge on and watch tv and just relax in the evening. My 10 yr old enjoyed watching the DVD's that were there.
The one parking space is nice, that's all we needed. I drive a 4 door sedan (mazda 6) and the space was just big enough for my car. The full sized fridge was nice for the snacks we brought with us and we used the toaster that was there to make bagels in the morning. We had the windows open most days with the ceiling fan on for a little breeze, no need for the AC. We were even chilly one evening and used the heater for just a few minutes to warm up.
I would love to go back and stay here again! Great for families, girls trip, or couples trip.

Our family of four (two teens, two adults) found the place cozy and comfortable. All the amenities we could need and just steps from the Bay for morning walks or runs. Plenty of dining options in the area, but also stayed in and made the most of the kitchen.

We had a fantastic stay at this wonderful house. Perfect location for watching the sunrise over Mission Bay with a coffee in the morning and watching the sunset over the Pacific in the evening. House is perfect and we felt very comfortable there. The snacks waiting for us on arrival were a nice touch!! Highly recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The house was very clean and it was lovely. I could not get the code for the front door so I had to sit around for an hour until I was able to get a hold of Verbo and she gave me the number of the hostess so I could get in other than that it was a wonderful stay.

We stayed here over thanksgiving break and it was a perfect little spot for our family. It was walking distance to some of our favorite spots & the beach was so close our little one would run to it after we crossed the Main Street. The house was quiet and peaceful for the evenings after a day at the door or the beach. When we arrived the house was perfectly clean and check in and out were seamless. We would definitely stay here again if allowed. It was an awesome little spot perfect for little families or just you & your significant other. Thank you for such a perfect, effortless stay!!💚

This little home is so cute. It was clean and well stocked. I didn't need to purchase soap, shampoo/conditioner, etc. since it was all there. That part was amazing and actually saved me some money. Access to the property was a keyless pad which made it easy not having to carry anything. The location was great and the nights were quiet. There are beach chairs and beach towels available. It's close to restaurants and all the action. Bay on one side and the beach across the street. This gives you opportunities to get the sun rising and setting. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

I loved this beach cottage and the location was great! I lived in San Diego for 20+ years and just came back for a brief visit. This place was perfect - a stone's throw to the bay, the beach is across the street, within walking distance to some great restaurants and other activities. Perfect for a getaway!
The cottage was well-appointed and had a great patio. I am hoping to come back next year and stay again!

We just spent another wonderful 5 days in this cottage.
This has been our go to place in the area for the last 10 years and we have been returning over and over again, still loving as on day one.

We traveled from Arizona to this home and it was perfect for two best friends to share and enjoy the beach area and the fun of San Diego! The host left snacks for us which hit the spot after a 6 hour car trip - so thoughtful! It was clean and comfy and location to the San Diego attractions was perfect. The area was great and we took advantage of the beach paths to walk and explore. We did spend most of our days in San Diego going on tours then back to relax in the home. Just perfect!

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen and for the beach. The walk to the bay is less than a minute and you can see the beautiful bay from the front porch. We stayed wjth our family of 6 and it was comfortable for all of us.
I definitely recommend the property!!

The location of this property is perfect! And the home had great amenities for the beach; towels, chairs, boogie boards. And having AC was a great! However, this is an older home that could use some updates; there is chipped and peeling paint and the bathroom needs some attention. I was disappointed at how dirty the home was; I ended up needing to clean the counters, bathroom sink, and doors. The ceiling fans need attention and there were dirty dishes in the cabinet.

House was beyond perfect for our family vacation! Steps to the Bay on one side and only a couple blocks to the beach on the other. Plenty of beach toys, chairs, towels etc. Lots of good restaurants in walking distance, short drive to all the fun attractions! Couldn’t have asked for a better spot!

We had an amazing stay at this beach house. It was the perfect location to be able to hang by the bay or walk to the beach side. It was great to have a parking spot for us that fit our minivan perfectly and because of the house location, we were able to walk every where and leave our car parked the entire vacation! We r walked to restaurants all around, the beach, the bay, the Catamaran resort to watch the luau, Belmont Park and even to the pier. We were also able to make home cooked meals at the beach house because the kitchen had everything we needed. We will be back!

We absolutely loved this beach house. My husband and I stayed with our 4 year-old. The house is well-maintained and has all the amenities you would need, including beach toys and beach chairs. It has amazing proximity to the beach, and even better, a short walk to the bay, which was great for our son who didn't have to contend with waves. There are great restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream (we loved Handel's) a short walk away, along with a grocery store. Parking is a little tough in the area, which made the designated parking spot super helpful. This is just a really great spot for families wanting to enjoy the beach life. We really loved this place and will definitely come back!
