Description from the owner

Welcome to my lovely beachfront home at Mission Beach. When my family bought the property, the girls always looked forward to going to The Big House. The name stuck, and our home, located at 2962 Ocean Front Walk, is now a fully furnished rental property that has become a vacation destination for many travelers. We purchased The Big House at Mission Beach because the area is friendly, safe, close to attractions and part of a village community. Our girls loved the park, roller coaster, ferris wheel and the safety of this beach area. I invite you to join our family and let us accommodate your next visit to San Diego. A perfect destination... for singles, couples, families and friends, The Big House offers affordable rates and full amenities.

The Big House is a spacious home, a bit over 4000 square feet. The house has 5 bedrooms, 4 baths and sleeps 17 comfortably. For your comfort, we offer 4 twin beds, 1 queen, 1 king, 2 twin sofa sleepers, 4 twin rollaway beds and a crib. Recently, we purchased new beds, fresh bedding and linens. The house is stocked with towels, linens, blankets and beach towels. Each room is attractive and homey.

Inside the house, the tile floors are clean and well cared for. Let’s begin with the first floor: A generous living room has brown leather sectional sofa for lounging and watching tv. Curl up by the fire and sit in the adjoining conversation area by the picture window. Also on the main floor are two bedrooms and a bath. The main floor dining room boasts an extended wood table that seats 17. The kitchen is large, with tiled countertops, new sets of pottery serving 17, new cookware, serving pieces, glassware, oven and microwave, ice making refrigerator, dishwasher and an adjoining laundry room with full capacity washer and dryer.

Moving up to the second floor, we find the gorgeous Master Suite. With a full sliding door, the room offers a romantic view of the ocean. A luxurious stone fireplace, king size bed, leather sectional sofa, dresser unit and television add just the right home touch. Step up into the tiled bathroom with vanity area, separate bath and walk-in closet.

The third floor is a favorite for family visitors. Privacy and charm accentuate this darling room with door to private balcony, twin beds, television and bath.

Above the third floor is the attached condo. This is a home of its own, with a separate bedroom, living area with television, leather sofa, chairs, dining room, kitchen, private deck, full kitchen with oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer/dryer set, pantry, and private bath. This apartment has its own entry door and offers complete privacy.

Outside, The Big House has an attached garage and 2 carports. Street parking, as well as a lot at the park, is available. A spacious front patio facing the ocean is complete with teak wood dining table, chairs, additional round table with umbrella and new barbecue grill. An outdoor deck with guard rail on the second floor is located just off the master suite. A cute private deck is off the third floor bedroom, and the attached condo has a long wood deck and new barbecue. A short stone wall surrounds the patio, and the gate opens onto the boardwalk. In the garage, you will find bicycles, and beach umbrellas and an extra refrigerator.

In addition to unobstructed views of the ocean and beach, The Big House is convenient to numerous activities and sightseeing areas. Within walking distance: the white sands of the beach with ocean shore just a few yards away. Lifeguards are on duty. Sailboat and fishing boat rentals are nearby. Fishing excursions are also available. Visit Sea World and the San Diego Zoo, all in the area. Take a bike ride around the marina, or relax with a good book on the patio. Take a short walk to the grass park and relax before riding the Belmont roller coaster and ferris wheel.

Order a pizza from Big Kahuna or hop in the car and drive to one of the fantastic restaurants in the Gas Light District. Drive down to the harbor and tour The Midway, stroll through the quaint shops and eat at one of the excellent restaurants. Explore downtown San Diego and then drive over to Old Town.

  Perfect Beachfront Vacation - even in January!

  Left on 02/20/2012 for a stay in January 2012
  
  

  My boyfriend and I stayed at this beautiful beachfront house the first week of January and had an excellent time. It is really a special house. When it was just the two of us, the house did not actually feel too big - the master bedroom and bathroom is really lovely and we had fun hanging out in that big room. There is a huge porch and in the morning we opened the doors, stayed in bed and read, and even saw dolphins swim by! It was so peaceful to watch the surfers, and being in that room with the porch doors open is like being on your own private beach! We had friends over one night and had a fantastic time Bbq'ing on the big front deck. It is the perfect space to cook for a big group and enjoy a big meal together. Also, the bedrooms are very private and everyone had plenty of personal space. The house is full of really great windows and mirrors, so even when you are inside you feel like you are outside. It is full of fantastic tile and beautiful details - and award winning underwater photography taken by the owner!
  We enjoyed walking on the beach, at any time of day, collecting little shells and watching the birds and surfers. We also had the best Mexican food just walking distance away. We brought it back and ate it on the front porch. Everything about our stay was perfect and we hope we get to go back again soon!

  One stop vacation

  Left on 08/11/2011 for a stay in June 2010
  
  

  14 of my high school classmates celebrated our 60th birthday year here at the Mission beach beach house in June 2010. The house lived up to our expectations in every way. The rooms are great, everything very clean and "top-drawer." The kitchen was great for preparing great meals prepared by multiple chefs. The house and the beach in front were the best ever, but there are also terrific places to walk for breakfast (the Mission), lunch (La Playa) and dinner ~ many nearby beautiful choices.
  I returned with my immediate family in January 2011. Again, the weather was awesome, the walks on the beach and cozy rooms in the house were all just perfect. The beach wasn't busy (like in the pictures) so my daughter and I did yoga in the mornin near the water.
  I look forward to our next trip to Mission beach.
