view large image

This property is available year-round. We offer a 3 night minimum Sept to May. One week minimum for summer season and also over the Holidays. We do not accommodate arrivals on a holiday at this time. What brings you to San Diego? Sun, sand and surf you say? Then you just found your beach house! This wonderful cottage is 45 steps to the sand and offers an ocean view from the beautiful redwood deck. The deck has stylish bamboo fencing that can be folded down for a more open feel with oceanview, or folded up for a private experience. Turn up the hot tub, sit back and relax while whipping up dinner on the gas grill.

The living room is sunshiny and bright with state of the art TV and audio, bring the iPod and enjoy the surround sound emitting from the speakers throughout the house. There is even a speaker in the bathroom so you can rock out while soaking in bubbles! Beautiful hardwood floors and mid-century furniture make this beach house a dream to come home to. Two 'click clack' sofas lay flat for a full size sleeper in the living room. The kitchen is efficient and well equipped, dishwasher, gas stove, blender and toaster oven. This beach house is available year round and it sleeps up to 4 adults.

Full bathroom off the living room is convenient from the master bedroom and the living room. It even has a tub for you to relax in. You will love the decor in this house!

The master has a skylight and king size bed, desk area with wireless internet and cordless phone- if you MUST work- you are well equipped. Washer and dryer included too.

Parking space suits a larger car or SUV as it is an exterior space next to the house. The Salem Surf Sanctuary is beautifully located, steps away from bike and boogie board rental, The Mission Cafe and Saska's steak and sushi is a block away. Everything you need is steps away from your beach house. Bring your suit and your board, kick the sand off your feet, shower on the deck and settle in to the 4 person hot tub or relax on the hammock.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates offered.

a guest from Laramie, WY recommends this vacation rental

We greatly enjoyed our time in out little one bedroom house. The location was great, the house was well kept and cozy. It was wonderful to go out in the evening and enjoy the hot tub under the stars. Bike shop around the corner and a cute little coffee shop across the street, what more do you need? Loved it, thanks for a very relaxing week!

Tara A from San Diego, CA recommends this vacation rental

Had an amazing stay. The location was perfect. The bungalow was way bigger than imagined, it never felt small even with 4 girls and all there stuff. The hot tub was a highlight. Neighbors were so kind and hospitable. Great breakfast steps from the house on mission. Only complaint the pull out couches were not comfortable to sleep on. We used an air mattress the remainder of our stay.

  Thank you for choosing Sandy Beach Rentals. I wish we could find a comfy sofa sleeper?? Not sure if there are any out there! We recommend having the kids sleep on the sleepers. Hope you come back to stay with us soon!

James K from Fort Wayne, TN recommends this vacation rental

Loved the fact that we were only steps to the beach and boardwalk,where there was always something going on.The hot tub was nice.The bed was comfy & our rental had plenty of room for the 2 of us. I would suggest getting rid of 1 of the click clack sofas & get 2 recliners in place of them. A patio table would have been nice on the sunsetting deck. Overall we really enjoyed our stay in the Mission Beach area & hope to return again. A nice place for the price! Note: We are from Indiana, not Tennesee.

Lynda T from Phoenix, AZ recommends this vacation rental

...about 40 steps to be exact, but I have short was nice to be so close to the beach, yet not facing the boardwalk and all of the passers-by... This property has a wonderful patio, as you can tell from the photos. We really enjoyed using the grill for
everything from steaks and burgers to grilled vegetables, and the modern jacuzzi is has all the bells and whistles and we enjoyed that a lot, too... The property also has high-speed internet and Dish Network with all of the movie channels and other channels
you could possibly want. The kitchen was very nice and modern...we enjoyed sitting at the little bar to eat our meals...and having a washer-dryer was great, since we stayed for a week and we could wash our clothes as needed... The only thing I would suggest
is to maybe get a more modern bedspread and linens (and maybe a new mattress) for the bedroom...the linens were a little worn...but otherwise, everything was modern and functional, with a cute decor... We will be back...

Salem Surf Shack was the perfect place for us. The ocean is so close that we were able to go to sleep to the sound of the waves. There is lots to do within walking distance and the surfing is great. The house was perfect - just what we had hoped for. It
was big enough for a family of 4 adults. We'd love to return!

Joelle K from Denver, CO recommends this vacation rental

Cute, clean place. Perfect for a couple or a couple with one child. The electronics were a bit confusing but the instructions were very straight forward. One piece of advice: this is not a negative but there were no condiments other than pepper and salt. Usually at Vacation rentals there are things like olive oil or vinegar or jam, etc. left over. There was zero so when you shop, be prepared to buy everything down to the wax paper or tin foil. But, there are great inexpensive restaurants a few seconds away. We are already planning our return trip.
Second visit as good as the first. We'll be back!

I believe that location is the best thing about this rental. I would get up everyday and walk to the ocean (about 60-90 seconds). I love to hear the waves and watch the various birds along the shore line. Getting to any of San Diego's many attractions is easy from this location.

a guest from Calgary, AB recommends this vacation rental

The location was fantastic.
Unfortunatly, for us the weather did not cooperate, so
we were limited with the use of the patio.
The bar b q was scarey, old rusted out,
we did inform the property manager, reading
prior comments this was all ready mentioned, nothing done about it.
All in all we enjoyed the place, it is a
quiet location, no problems with ndightbours.

  Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. We hope to have you return in the future and will offer you a discount for the inconvience that you experienced due to the poor condition of the BBQ. The owner has since replaced the grill with a new one. We look forward to your next visit! Daphinne Accomazo

We had an awesome time. This place was just the right size for the two of us. After staying 45 steps from the beach, do not think I would like being right on the beach. The row of houses between us and the beach blocked quite a bit of noise. Hot tub and hammock was the best.

a guest from Milwaukie, Oregon recommends this vacation rental

Great location! The property was good and the staff responded quickly to our problem with the plumbing. The barbecue needs to be replaced, it is rusted through. I would suggest replacing the very old soap dispenser in the bathroom and leaving your guests and extra trash bag in the kitchen. Also, the owner showed up about 10 minutes before our checkout time, leaving us a little flustered and I know we forgot to do a couple of tidy-up things because of that.

Rebecca M from San Diego, CA recommends this vacation rental

This was our second stay at this property. We stayed previously in 2008 when the owner first began renting it. The property is not worse for the wear of being a rental. In fact some new windows had been installed and were very nice. The best thing about this property is the location. It is steps from the beach, but not right on the boardwalk where it can be a bit more noisy. The house is perfect for a quiet getaway. NOT at party house. We used it for one couple and a teenager. The hot tub is great. There is a relaxing hammock. There is an awesome TV and stereo. There is only one small bathroom, but is has a full tub and shower and works well for 3 or less people. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. The neighborhood is pretty quiet for Mission Beach. A mix of full-time residents and rentals. You can walk or bike to everything you need - stores, eateries, Belmont park, bars, rental shops, coffee shops, etc. The locals are very nice and mellow folk. We will be back.

The couch was very uncomfortable...sitting and sleeping. We had to add extra layers, yoga mat, sleeping bag, comforter to make sleeping somewhat ok. The chairs were a bit on the cheap side, not comfortable at all. The house was clean, cute, loved the wall colors, close to the beach, restaurants in walking distance. A lot of rules...even for the "older generation" but as long as we can our deposit back we'll be happy. Think it shouldn't take 14 days to be refunded back to your credit card tho!

Had a great time on Mission Beach for the month of November! The folks at Sandy Beach Rentals took care of any minor problems or questions immediately, making my stay worry free. I'll definately be looking to them when I rent next time, and fully recommend them to people looking for a vacation rental.

Oh, don't leave anything (wetsuits) laying around on the deck for passerby's to grab. Other than that, the whole vacation was perfect.

Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay. We had a neighbor two doors down that didn't adhere to the 10 o'clock quiet time rule, but that in no way is a reflection of the home or Sandy Beach Rentals. We met some really nice neighbors during our stay. We definitely plan to come back again in the future!

the house is just big enough for a small froup of friends, quiet and close to anything you could want. just off the beach so you dont get the cold breeze in the morning but the deck offers a great view of the ocean with out people stareing in your windows as they walk by. will definately try to reserve this home again!!!
