Just steps from both Mission Beach and Mission Bay, this coastal condo is perfectly placed for laid-back San Diego living. Days here are best spent switching between the beach and the private patio – whether that’s firing up the barbecue, gathering around the fire pit, or simply soaking up the sunshine. Inside, the bright living space has everything you need for a comfortable stay, while the second bedroom with bunk beds makes it a particularly good fit for families. Beach gear is provided too, so you can travel a little lighter. Add Belmont Park, the boardwalk and plenty of dining spots within walking distance, and it’s easy to settle into holiday mode here.
