    About this property

    Entire place

    You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

    You're just a few steps to the bay AND the beach! With central AC!

    **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 stay by the beach
    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!

    Great San Diego Vacation
    This was the cutest house in Mission Beach, San Diego. My family traveled here from the east coast and reaching it could not have been easier! Just minutes from the airport and located in the heart of everything Mission Beach. We had a great time and were close to everything including Belmont Park, La Jolla, SeaWorld, The San Diego Zoo, and LegoLand. We spent many hours walking near the ocean and bay, eating at all the local restaurants, and even renting bikes. An awesome house with everything you could need, even chips and salsa and some treats for the kids when we arrived! We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend to anyone traveling to this area.

    Wonderful Home
    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!

    Spring Break trip with my girls
    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.
