| We spent a week in July in Bill and Calina's Mission Bay Hideaway. What a perfect house for our family. We have 2 adults and 2 boys ages 15 and 10 who loved fishing on the bay and boogie boarding at the beach. Bill and Calina were so welcoming and made us feel like we were right at home. We loved everything about this place!! We have already made plans to return next year!!! |

We spent ten fabulous days with our son, his wife, and their 16-month son at Mission Bay Hideaway at the end of May 2009.
Everything was perfect -
-Location - one minute away from the sand but very quiet
-The beautifully decorated house spacious enough for 4 adults and a baby
-Firm and very comfortable mattresses
-Fully-equipped kitchen
-Fast and stable wireless internet connection
-TV channel selection beyond any imagination
-Proximity to Sea World (which allowed us to take a break for a nap in the middle of the day and return back for evening shows)
But most useful and impressive was the spectacular yard - while we were cooking, preparing for the beach or daily trips, our toddler was safe there enjoying the fountain, flowers, and lots of toys.
We are looking forward to returning to Bill's and Calina's place soon.

Our family which included 2 small boys aged 3 and 4 years stayed at the Mission Bay Hideway for one week in January, 2009. Bill and Calina were excellent hosts. They were very friendly and helpful. The aprtment is very well laid out, comfortable, and a great place to stay. It is steps in either direction to the Bay or the Ocean and very close to Sea World and the sights and sounds of San Diego. Our children did not want to leave when we had to go and refer to it as our San Diego home. Will will go back again and highly recommend the Mission Bay Hideaway for anyone looking to stay in the San Diego area.

“This place was ‘PERFECT’ for our Spring vacation! It was a lot nicer than we had imagined, from the outside to the comfortable furnishings inside. We loved the fireplace, grill, quality faucets, the compactor, and the most comfortable beds! … We went to Tijuana, Kobey’s Swap Meet, the Zoo, Sea World, Belmont Park, and lots of time on the Beach! There is still so much we want to do and see, so we will be visiting again and hope we can once again share your home.

Dear Calina & Bill, Thank you for letting me have "a home away from home" due to the hurricane in Florida on such short notice! As always, I as well as my family enjoyed your beautiful apartment. My grandchildren said "they love Calina & Bill's house." While we enjoyed Sea World, Museums, Flea Market & La Jolla, I also looked for a new home. Thank you for the use of your fax machine & for the wonderful dinner at P.F. Changs. Once I'm settled in my new home in Poway I will give you both a call. Many thanks for your kindness & hospitality. I sincerely appreciate it. Warm regards. Patti, Rick, Amie, Shaun, Ericka & Kyle.

| We enjoyed a wonderful time in this comfortable and attractive condo. My son and I had our own separate bathrooms and bedrooms, and most important, our own TVs and VCRs. It could accomodate very different tastes in our viewing habits . Bill, the owner, was very helpful to us when we needed anything. He provided good information for where we could find our supplies for the week, and loaned us DVDs to watch. We were just a few steps from the bay where we went for nice walks each evening after our busy days at the local attractions like the zoo and Sea World, which were just minutes away. We felt very comfortable in this nicely secluded, but convenient, location. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and we could choose to eat outside on the patio or at the nice dining area inside. If we felt like going out there were good places to eat nearby. When friends came over there was plenty of room for all of us. We're planning on coming back here again soon. It was perfect for us. |

| We had a delightful time during our stay in San Diego and the Mission By Hideaway was perfect! Great location and our hosts, Bill and Colena, could not have shown us more hospitality! We really did feel like we were at our own little "home away from home". Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you for everything. |

We enjoyed our stay at the Mission Bay Hideaway during the 2006 Christmas Holidays. It is a terrific location between the ocean and bay in a cute neighborhood. A quick walk took us to restaurants, shops and a grocery store. It was an easy drive to Seaworld, La Jolla, and downtown San Diego.
The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the bicycles for riding around the bay and on the boardwalk at Mission Beach. The fireplace was wonderful on the cool mornings in December.
It was a pleasure to meet the owners who were delightful and accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer! |
