About this apartment rental
Summary:
Just steps to the sand, this property has recently been completely updated to provide you with the feel of beach luxury! This unit is laid out to comfortably sleep 3. It has a separate dining area and a full kitchen, so you always have the option of dining in or experiencing the vast array of PB restaurants and bars.
The Space:
This is a second floor unit. Enter into an open L living room with a dining nook off the updated kitchen. Updated plank flooring and tile in the kitchen and bathrooms which is ideal for the beach. Smart TV to meet all your needs. Kitchen is fully appointed (gas stove, oven, microwave, blender, coffee maker, toaster, and all the things to use them). Updated step in shower with lots of natural light in the bathroom. Sleeper in the living room converts into an over-sized full bed. Luxurious queen in the bedroom....wake up to the sights and sounds of the Pacific Ocean literally 100 steps from your door!
Guest Access:
The whole unit is yours. This unit is part of a small and quiet 6-plex. Check-in is contactless. You will be given a door code 3 days prior to arrival.
The Neighborhood:
Within walking distance of all Mission Beach has to offer, this charming unit is both centrally and conveniently located, yet offers the quiet comfort most look for in a vacation getaway. Best part of this location in north Mission is that you are a quick jaunt to all the nightlife, cafes and restaurants of Pacific Beach but you get to come home to the quiet of north Mission Beach.
Getting Around:
We provide a single covered parking space. It is accessed off the alley and as such can be a tight fit (as with about 90% of the parking spaces at the beach). We recommend a small- to mid-sized car to make it easier to park. We also recommend backing into the spot as that makes it easier to get in and pull out. There is free street parking available, but due to the high volume of beach-goers, don't count on parking nearby. Also be sure to read parking signs!
Looking for a unique way to get around Mission/ Pacific Beach during your stay? We've partnered with a local company, PB Golf Cart Rentals, that offers daily rentals in a customized Golf Cart. Whether you need it for the day, the weekend, or the week, they've got you covered. With flexible pricing and local pickup & drop-off, you’re minutes away from riding around San Diego in style. Please mention that Vacation Rentals By Aaron sent you!
Other Things to Note:
This is "typical" beach parking so we do not recommend large cars. The spots will not accommodate anything more than a mid-size car or SUV.
For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement.
We only offer the air conditioning between May and September

We enjoyed how close the condo was to the beach and the bay. The condo had everything we needed for the beach. Chairs, towels and even an umbrella. The parking was extremely tight, but we were aware of this when we booked it. It just took some getting used to. We would definitely stay here again!!

outstanding location

Was there 4 nights- 2 people-steps to the beach - close to many shops/restaurants! Nice covered parking for small car! We are already planning to stay at this property again!
4.8
From the moment we arrived, this property fulfilled all of our expectations and more. It was clean, spacious and the surrounding area was serene and quiet. With a mere 75 steps to the sand [my husband counted! :)], it made our trip an even greater experience than we ever imagined. Thank you so much and we look forward to booking with you again next year!
4.8
This is a clean well-stocked and well-located property, a block from the beach and a block from a bus that takes you to Old Town trolley stop. Can walk to groceries, restaurants.
Do pay attention to the comments about parking...it was doable, but you definitely wouldn't want a big car!
4.8
Easy, clean, good location
4.8
Great location, close to beach but off the main pathway. Easy to assess San Diego attractions. They warned us but the parking is quite narrow, best to back in.
4.8
We had an amazing stay. Check in was very easy and the place was spotless when we arrived. It comes equipped with everything you need- dishes, cooking tools, towels, even shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The location is literally a 2 minute walk from the beach, you can hear the waves from the kitchen. It was perfect for 3 adults, however I wouldn't recommend any more than that. The sofa bed is smaller than we expected, so we were glad to have only one person sleep on it. Might work great for 2 smaller kids! Overall we were so comfortable, the value of the property is great. We will be back!

While this isnt beach front, its close enough for those who are cost conscious. We spent most of our time out at the beach or walking around town so this place served our needs. It was clean and well equipped and would definitely recommend it.

such a great experience! loved the room and how it was so accessible to the beach!!
4.8
We enjoyed our stay at this property! The stay was comfortable and the location was amazing. The parking spaces are a very tight fit but we were able to walk to most places. We enjoyed visiting the local businesses and the beach.

Great stay - was located in great location.

The property is great and if you stay there make sure to eat at Moe’s. Property was clean and had coffee for brewing on top of all basic kitchen needs. Location was great. If you’re renting a car just make sure it’s a compact so you fit in the carport!! Would definitely stay again.
4.8
very clean, superb location and loved there was parking (for a small car). I appreciated there was coffee, paper towels, and bathroom supplies (soap, shampoo, etc), as these small things matter.
I loved that I received notice that I could get into the property Early (check-in) 👍
The only difficulty was a 10 AM check out, as this really doesn't afford enough time for breakfast, cleanup and departure. I would stay here again.
4.8
Again, we had a great time. The location was excellent because its 2-3 minute walking distance to the beach, 2-3 minute walking distance to Mission Bay Blvd. and then walking to bar, restaurants and shops located around the Mission Beach area. The condo good for 2 adults and/or 2-3 children, any more than a bit tight. Beach chairs and body boards were provided. A parking place for our rented car was provided and we heeded other renters advice to rent a small or economy size car, so that we had a vehicle to travel to other places in the San Diego area. The condo structure also had its own outside shower to rinse off the sand off ourselves and paraphernalia from our beach visits. I'd rate our condo place a 5 out 5; it was that nice!
4.8
Check-in was easy. Property was clean and comfortable for me and wife. Good location for getting around S.D. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks!
4.8
This was a great location. Close to the beach, restaurants and bars. It was actually better than we were expecting. We were just hoping for a decent place to sleep, but it was bigger than we expected. We would stay here again.
4.8
This was a wonderful location just a short walk from the beach. The beds were comfortable and it had an A/C unit which was fabulous. The kitchen was small but easy to cook in and had most needed utensils available. There is a parking spot that is very tight (as advertised) but we had a Chevy equinox and it fit just fine. The only issue I had was that there is no outlet in the bathroom and no mirror near an outlet so doing my hair was a bit if a challenge.
4.8
Great location. Had most everything needed for the stay. Unit got very warm. There was a potable AC unit but only cooled the room it was in. Bathroom was always a hot box. Maybe more fans available for warm days. Toilet in the bathroom could be updated. It was nice to have a parking spot but was a very tight fit (which we expected after communicating with the owner). We brought our own bikes and missed having a convenient place to store them. We had to lug them upstairs to keep in our unit. This wasn’t the best fit for us but overall was a decent rental.
4.8
Great location, well stocked and clean. Property manager was very responsive to our needs. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the rug in the living room didn’t lay flat and we had to roll it up and get it out of the way so we didn’t trip
4.8
It was perfect for me and my husband.
4.8
we had a girls trip! Me and my 2 daughters. This place fit us perfect. it is Super close to the beach and a short walk to the pier and restaurants. The house was very clean and we had easy access. plus the parking spot it’s a plus.
4.8
The property is exactly as described- small but perfect for my and my 2 kids. The only cons were that the water pressure is a bit low and the parking spot is very tight - but honestly neither really bothered me at all. The location just cannot be beat! Literally steps away from the beach. Lots of restaurants/shops within walking distance. Check-in was a breeze and communication was prompt and thorough. Would most definitely stay here again!
4.8
The location is a huge plus! You can’t beat the short walk to the ocean or even the same equal short walk to the Mission Bay side. We had a great time and loved our stay. It has what you need for a great beach vacation. We stayed with our teenage son and he comfortably fit on the futon couch. It had all the beach equipment that one would need for a great sunshine escape. It is a bungalow with a small kitchen, so just make sure that you know it isn’t a gourmet kitchen. The parking is tight and definitely only plan on a small SUV or compact car for the spot, but such a nice plus. We had one issue with a clogged bathroom sink, which did get addressed quickly by the manager.
4.8
We originally had booked this rental for my son, myself, and a friend, but my son and I were unable to go, so just my friend went, and he said it was absolutely wonderful. Before I knew I was not going to be able to stay, I had been in contact with the host and he was more than helpful with all of my questions, very accommodating with fun suggestions for my nine year old and in such a timely manner. I wish I would have been able to stay in such a great place, but I am glad that my friend was able to enjoy it!
4.8
This property was perfect for our family of three! It had everything we needed to be comfortable for our week at the beach. Very clean and well stocked…we felt right at home.
4.8
Couldn't have been more pleased with our stay at Ben's Beach Bungalow. It was not far from a number of restaurants and shops, easy to walk to and from. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. The location is just far enough off the beach that you don't hear all the commotion on the boardwalk. So easy to access the beach and boardwalk to see all that is going on there. For the price we paid, the accommodations were exactly in-line. The apartment had all we needed to enjoy our trip. We thought it was wonderful that there were beach chairs and towels in the unit. The communication with the host was seamless, no issues with finding the unit or check-in. We would definitely stay here again!

Property mgr extremely easy to work with. Apartment needed some updating.

Great place to stay! Really nice to have a parking spot!

We stayed recently to tour colleges with our daughter and show her the San Diego area. Our stay worked out perfectly! The location is great! A block from the beach, walking distance to restaurants, shops and everything you would need. The place is very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. I was having trouble getting any messages to my VRBO Inbox, but once I realized that, I contacted the property manager who made sure to directly copy my email so that I could access messages. We would definitely recommend this beach bungalo and would be happy to stay here again!

3 day quick get away. Great location, reasonable price. Will be back.

We wanted a place close to my daughters family in Pacific Beach, as well as a property near the beach. This property was steps from the beach and the esplanade. We could hear the waves as well! The first night we couldn’t find the heater controls so I called the host. He responded immediately and helped me locate it. We would definitely stay here again.
4.8
Great place to have fun and enjoy the ocean!
4.8
We enjoyed our stay. Aaron was very responsive with help. The bungalow was clean and well equipped with beach chairs etc. It did get a bit warm but cooled off at night. Dining room chairs had leg splayed out so we tripped on them most days. Location great close to huge beach and walking to restaurants.
4.8
Property is nice. Very convenient to the beach. Listing says it has a/c. It is a freestanding unit that isn’t adequate to cool the living room. No a/c in the bedroom. 2nd floor units get hot solid a/c is a must. Owner said fuses blow if a second a/c is running so we were told we have to move the a/c unit from the living room to the bedroom at night. So our daily ritual was to move it back to the living room in the morning and back to the bedroom at night. The heat vent tube is super flimsy and made installation in the window quite complicated. We had to stuff towels in the gap in the window to prevent hot air from entering. We were told to open the windows at night to cool off but only one little one in the living room opens. The others cannot be opened!! No screen door either! The sofa bed is a joke. Only big enough for small children. Kitchen chairs easily tipped over backwards. My daughter sat down and fell straight back. Very dangerous. The legs are splayed out too far to the sides and we kept bashing our feet on them. We eventually put them aside out of the way. Kitchen well equipped but only had 2 small pots.
Nice beach chairs and umbrella and boogie boards.
