Updated Mission Beach Condo: Walk to Belmont Park!

Reviews

• 3/5

  The condo was great, for the most part. Good location by the ocean and bay, boardwalk, shops, food, and it was tidy, and cozy. I’m rating it only 3 stars because, on our 3rd day there, a 9-month construction project (Sept ‘25-May’26) started right in front of the condo building in the parking lot. Not only did the completely block off the parking lot, but there were loaders drilling and jack-hammering asphalt nearly all day for 3 of the days we stayed there. It was incredibly loud and disruptive and we were not able to relax in the room during construction hours (Approx 7:30a-3p). If we had been told about the construction we may not have booked, and if we had known how disruptive it would be, we wouldn’t have booked. Also, the parking spot was described as small—but it’s not just small, it’s nearly impossible to get in and out of it if there are cars on both sides of you because their spots are small too and the alley is small. We felt “stuck” multiple times. And since there was construction happening in the parking lot in the front of the building, it was not possible to park there. There is a public parking lot for the beach near the front of the building, but it’s not convenient to access with the construction going on and there are signs posted that it doesn’t allow overnight parking. In the end, our stay would have been better without the parking lot construction and issue with the parking spot.

  Manager's Response:

  Thanks for sharing your thoughtful review—we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found the condo tidy and cozy, and after sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they would like to share the following:
  
  - After reading your review, we personally stayed at the condo to see exactly what was happening and were just as surprised by the extent of the construction.
  - We originally received notice from the city on August 1st, which only mentioned temporary no-parking signs in certain areas, not full lots being fenced off.
  - The city did not inform us that the entire immediate bay area would be blocked, so we’ve since been in contact with both the project manager and the city to get accurate details.
  - We sincerely apologize for the disruption and appreciate you bringing it to our attention—we’ll be sure future guests are fully informed about the construction timeline and impacts.
  
  We appreciate your input as we continue working to provide the excellent stays our guests expect.

  We had the best time and loved the location. A short walk to mission beach and we were able to rent bikes just down the street. The rental provided an umbrella, beach chairs, spike ball, and lots of boogie boards which added to a great beach day! The bed was comfortable and we were able to watch football on the spacious couch as well. Very clean and the owner gave detailed access instructions!
