Steps to the Sand - Cozy 1 bedroom (2nd floor)

As with all properties in this highly desirable area, parking is very tight and our garage door opening is 94" wide and 180" deep. However, it's common for cars to stick out of the garage about 12-18", leaving the garage door open (so it acts more like a carport). Most mid-sized SUVs should fit but please verify your car measurements to be sure. There is also free street parking and a few free parking lots nearby. Please Note: This is an authentic, nearly 100-year-old beach cottage—rich in vintage character, with creaky floors, low ceilings, and charming quirks. It’s not a modern hotel, but it’s full of heart, history, and unbeatable access to everything Mission Beach has to offer. This property also requires walking up one flight of stairs to access the front door and does not contain any outdoor spaces. Please check out our other listings for additional availability and occupancy, or feel free to send a note if you're interested in booking multiple apartments for your stay for larger groups. 🏡 Historic Home Details This is a nearly 100-year-old cottage with vintage charm—please expect quirks like creaky floors and a cozy footprint. 🛏️ Room Size Reminder Bedrooms are snug with king beds and limited floor space—perfect for relaxing, but not ideal for spreading out. 🚗 Parking Notes We have one single car garage spot for this unit. It's on the right when facing the home. Most mid-sized SUVs and smaller should fit but please verify your car measurements to be sure. Our garage door opening is 94" wide and 180" deep. However, it's common for cars to stick out of the garage about 12-18", leaving the garage door open (so it acts more like a carport). Please plan accordingly. Please be courteous to neighbors and do not park in alleys, in front of neighbors’ homes, or in red zones (even just for 2 minutes!) — you will be subject to fines and towing by the city. For alternative parking: Mission Boulevard has street parking available (please double-check signage for street sweeping days). You can also find free overnight parking just a few blocks away on El Carmel Street, especially near the Rowing Club area. 🧺 Shared Amenities Shared laundry is located on the side of the house. You’re welcome to use it during your stay, just be courteous of others who may also want to access it. 🏖️ Beach Gear Disclaimer Guests are welcome to use any beach toys or chairs found on-site, but availability can vary. 🧘 Noise & Neighborhood Please respect quiet hours after 10 PM. This is a peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood, but the homes are close together, so it’s not uncommon to hear neighbors or nearby activity at night (if you are a light sleeper).
