We had such a great stay! Drift was super accommodating to getting us in early and letting us stay an hour past checkout. The house was perfect and so close to the beach and bay. We'll be back!
Mission beach

We have rented with this company a couple of times and plan to rent from them again in the future. We've rented through other sites many times and have found drift to be far superior. Their are very reliable, communication is excellent, units are clean, and the extra amenities are much appreciated. The mission beach jersey unit was perfect for our family. Great location in between the bay and the beach. It was very peaceful with the sounds of the busy street not at all noticeable in this unit. We walked along the bay each morning, walked to the beach with a wagon full of supplies for each day, rode the bikes to get groceries, and walked to several different restaurants. Highly recommend this unit. We would love to go back soon!
Thanks so much for your review, Suzanne! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back again :)

This home was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. The property itself was beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home.
The location was perfect—just a short walk to both the ocean beach and Inlet Beach. We stayed with four adults, a three-year-old, and a one-year-old, and it worked wonderfully for our group.
One of the best features was the small park located right outside the front door. The kids spent their days either at the beach or on the playground, making it an ideal spot for families. The house was also well-stocked with beach toys and everything we needed for our beach outings.
What truly set this property apart from all of our previous Airbnb experiences was the communication and customer service. The staff was absolutely outstanding. They were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. During our stay, there was a water leak and an internet issue, but both were addressed quickly and professionally. Anytime I reached out with a question, request, or needed assistance, they responded promptly and went above and beyond to help.
We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, family-friendly vacation rental with exceptional hosts and outstanding customer service
Wonderful Stay!

Our family of 5 spent 5 nights at this rental, and wish we could have stayed longer! The location is spectacular! We enjoyed being very close to the ocean and bay. It was spring break during our stay and were glad we chose a rental not directly on the boardwalk! We absolutely loved having 2 different areas to sit outside - we particularly appreciated having a park area outside for our 3 boys to be able to run some energy out while we were in the house unpacking/prepping food.
The indoors were impeccably clean, very well decorated, and comfy! We used all of the beds, and they were all very comfortable (and my husband and I are both have back issues that make us pretty picky about beds).
We appreciated that there were plenty of towels (both bath and beach), and lots of beach equipment that made for a particularly easy/enjoyable stay (we used ALL of the bikes, ALL of the beach chairs, and ALL of the sand toys that were left behind). We appreciated that body soap, shampoo, and conditioner were all supplied. The kitchen was well stocked too!
The one single thing that would make us hesitate to stay in this specific rental again was the parking space... we had a minivan, and we found it incredibly challenging to get into the garage - it is not only tight (the width of the garage door seemed to be about 6" wider than our minivan), but given the width of the alley you drive in from, you need to come into it from a very tight angle. Neither my husband or myself were comfortable backing into it without the other one spotting from outside of the car (backing in was the ONLY way we found we could get in). Whenever one of us wanted to drive somewhere, we had to plan our outings around needing to both be around to get in/out of the garage.
Other than that, we really, really loved the place!
AMAZING vacation home!

STUNNING Home! AMAZING Location! IMMACULATE! Decor was incredible, simple & lovely! Only a few (short) blocks from the bay and beach. Walking distance to Mission Beach with incredible restaurants & trendy shops, and amusement center at Belmont Park. The park has a great variety of rides for children (& adults) ;) and fun shops! We went 3 times ;) Our home and stay was quiet & perfect, in every...way! Side note :) even the (well-stocked) paper products, kleenex, paper towels & toilet paper were top quality. ;) Favorite vacation home, ever :)

My family recently stayed at this vacation rental and had a fantastic experience! The location couldn't be better—just a short walk to the beach, the bay, and a variety of local restaurants. The property itself was impeccably clean and beautifully designed, making it a perfect retreat for a family of 8. It had all the amenities one could possibly need, ensuring a comfortable stay. Plus, the check-in and check-out process was incredibly easy, which added to the overall convenience. I highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing getaway in San Diego! 10 out of 10 Highly Recommend!

Newer home in great location. We were party of 8 including us, my daughter, and grandchildren. Home was nicely furnished and appointed. Walk to beach and bay. Well equipped with beach equipment, including 8 chairs, 8 beach towels, 2 beach umbrellas, 2 boogie boards, 4 bicycles, and a screen/sunshade room, as well as a bucket of kids beach toys. Stayed 7 nights and used as base for visiting the area. Only caution is garage door width. Tandem garage with single door. Had to fold mirrors in on Honda Odessey to fit. May not fit full size SUV or pickup.
Fantastic Rental

Loved everything about this place. Super close to the bay and the beach. Easy to walk to places to get food. And the rental has everything you could need for a good time at the beach. And the place itself is beautiful. Inside seems brand new, and with two decks you can maximize your time outside. Will definitely be back.
