Dram Sequence #2...
You walk to the front of the building, and crossing the board walk to the beach
, you feel the contagious smile and happy atmosphere here. The beach, as usual,
is
not crowded. The sand feels so nice between your toes and massages your feet.
After a refreshing swim, you drop your towel, lie down, and the sun's rays
start
to penetrating every muscle, every pore. You are cool and comfortable, yet you
are melting into the sand...You are starting to unwind.
THE
NEIGHBORHOOD 
The Ocean- lie on the sand, walk in
the surf, swim, boogie board, surf, and just enjoy! There is fishing, boating,
parasailing, photography, whale-watching (in the winter) and so much more.
The
boardwalk
- it is 2 3/4 miles from the South Jetty to Crystal Pier. You can
walk, jog, roller blade, bike ride, skateboard, and people watch.
The bay
side - walk
just 5 minutes, across Mission Blvd. to beautiful Mission Bay. You can walk for
miles on the sidewalks which hug the bay. Water sports include sailing,
swimming, paddle boating, kayaking, jet skiing, motor boating, fishing, and
more.
Belmont Park - the historic amusement
park has the famous Giant Dipper roller coaster, bungie trampolines, the human
gyroscope, Virtual Reality, and other rides and games. The Plunge is also in
the park. It is a public indoor Olympic size swimming pool. It is located at
Mission Blvd. and West Mission Bay Drive on the board walk, about a 15-minute
walk south of Sunset Sands.
Mission Bay
Park - across
Mission Blvd. from Belmont Park there are picnic tables, playgrounds,
barbecues, rest rooms, volleyball courts, soft grass, benches, and some cozy
spots under palm trees. The park stretches for miles along the bay's calm
waters.
Bahia Belle Paddle Wheel Boat - will take you on a
cruise on the bay. It stops nearby at the Catamaran Hotel, just north on 3999
Mission Blvd. There is a bar and dance floor on the boat.
Crystal
Pier -
walk north on the board walk from Sunset Sands for about 10 minutes to this
historic structure. You get a great view of the surfers from above. And stop at
the wonderful little coffee stand before you get to the end - a beautiful
viewing spot perched way out in the ocean.
Special
Events - check the papers for
concerts, sporting events, contests, promotions, and much more.
And Much
More - clothes
and jewelry boutiques, pubs, restaurants for all budgets and tastes, ice cream
shops, tourist shops, surf shops, rental shops for roller blades and everything

Dream
Sequence #3...
After
an invigorating walk or jog, it's time
for dinner. You can't believe it...this kitchen has everything that yours does
at home. You listen to your favorite CD while you enjoy a simple but wonderful
home cooked meal. After dinner you sneak over to the market
and few steps away to pick up some Ben and Jerry's ice cream. It's been a
wonderful day...
The
reality is...Sunset Sa
BEACH
COMMUNITY 
SeaWorld - is a 10-minute drive from the condo. It is open at
night during the summer.
Dream
Sequence #4...You relax on
the balcony in the evening. You sip on a glass of wine, and look! A pod of dolphins
i
s surfacing just a little way out in the water. What a beautiful sight. The
water is on fire with the reflection of the sun in the
west. You can feel the energy. Finally, you curl up on the couch to watch the
rented video on the 27-inch screen...
The reality is...Sunset
Sands.

Dream
Sequence #5...You feel so good,
so alive. All your senses are stimulated. The view of the sea as beautiful as
any natural wonder, the caress of the cool, fresh, pollen free, gentle ocean
breezes, the faint, yet undeniable scent of the sea and the mysterious life
below, the refreshing cool ocean water with the salty taste around your lips.
And that sound! The soft, peaceful, rhythmic surf, forever faithfully there...
The reality is...Sunset
Sands.

Q. Is it noisy?
A.
Yes, the Mission Beach neighborhood is safe. As an elderly couple, or a
family with kids you will feel immediately at ease when you arrive.
Back to FAQ
Q. What is the beach area like?
A.
Each beach community in the San Diego area has its own personality.
Mission Beach is known as "eclectic." It is a wonderful mix of all
types of people. You will see couples holding hands, families with
children of all ages, the elderly, teenage kids in the water, foreign
travelers from Germany and Japan, "locals" visiting for the day from
inland, etc., etc. Many people are there on vacation. And overall you
will get the contagious feeling of fun and happiness!
Back to FAQ
Q. Do you take kids? Are there any other families who vacation around there?
A.
Yes, children are welcome. And yes, many families vacation with their
children in Mission Beach. There is nothing that will warm the heart
like seeing these little ones playing in the surf with their sand
castles, pails, and little floppy hats. You can always see lots of that.
Back to FAQ
A.
In and around the unit you will find that the beautiful sound of the
ocean covers up most of the other sounds. And the neighbors on both
sides are quiet. Occasionally, and mostly in the summer, you will hear
some alley or board walk noise. You will sleep like a baby with the
sound of the surf rolling in.
Back to FAQ
Q. What is the beach like? Rocky, or dangerous (glass)?
A.
The beach is gorgeous soft sand. It is also very clean. Glass is never
allowed on the beach, and that rule is strictly enforced. In addition,
there is some equipment that frequently rakes the beach, filter the
sand near the boardwalk, and sweep the boardwalk. You can walk on the
sand with your bare feet (except in the summer at the hottest point of
a sunny day).
Back to FAQ
Q. What is the ocean water temperature?
A.
The water temperature is chilly. Many people do go in the water -
especially the younger ones. And they say that "once you get used to
it, it's fine." One option is to bring or rent (near the unit) a
wetsuit. The water temperature gets is warmest during the
September/October time frame.
Back to FAQ
Q. How crowded is the beach? How about right in front of the unit?
A.
The beach is rarely crowded in front of the unit. Even in the peak
summer season there is always room to spread your blanket out without
someone right next to you. The main Pacific Beach area (about a mile
north) and the Mission Beach area by the amusement park (about a mile
to the south) are the only places that are crowded, and that is in the
summer only. Those are the best places if you like to people watch!
Back to FAQ
Q. What floor of the building is the unit on, and why is this important?
A.
The third floor of a 3-floor building. There is an elevator, and it is
easy to just walk up the stairs. The third floor offers a perfect
perspective for the best ocean (and dolphin) views. And you are high
enough above any boardwalk pedestrians for privacy.
Back to FAQ
Q. Does the unit have air conditioning?
A.
Yes, there is an air conditioner in the master bedroom. But the
unit does not have central air conditioning. This is not found
veri often in San Diego homes near the beach. They would rarely be
needed. At the beach there is a constant breeze coming in
from the ocean to keep the unit cool. We have 3 fans and a ceiling fan
in the secon d bedroom, but they are normally only used at times during
the summer.
Back to FAQ
Q. Do you have a clothes washer/dryer?
A. The washer and dryer are not in the unit. But they are just a few steps
away in the parking garage. They are both coin-operated, or can be paid for by a phone app. These are here
if you want to wash any of your clothes or the condo's linens during
your stay. But remember, you do NOT have to clean the linens provided
with the unit before you leave. We clean all the linens after you leave
(at no extra charge).
Back to FAQ
A.
Yes. The management company takes care of that, as well as all other
payment matters. When you arrive and check-in, your card will be
swiped - but not charged - at that time. The deposit amount is
$200.00. The management team is professional, knowledgeable, and
experienced. They will send you maps and other information in a packet
after you make your booking. They will be your contact there to assist
you in anything you need during your stay.
Back to FAQ
Q. Should I ask you a "stupid" question?
A.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you want. As they say,
there are no dumb questions. My wife and I may have been in your shoes
- on your side of the fence. Just a few years ago we looked for a
vacation rental here at Mission Beach. I had all the questions you had
and more. For us, we just wanted to know about the area and the place
before we plunked a bunch of money down. I know what it is like to go to a place "cold," so I have tried to include lots of pictures and information in my web site.
Back to FAQ
Q. What is the cancellation policy?
A.
Cancellation of any nightly or weekly reservations prior to 90 days of
arrival will be refunded your deposit, less the reservation fee and a
$100 cancellation charge. A reservation cancelled 61 days prior to
arrival will be charged $300 and forfeit the reservation fee. Any
reservation cancelled within the 60 days prior to arrival will forfeit
the entire amount of the reservation. NO refunds for early departure.
Back to FAQ
Q. Is the unit a non-smoking unit?
Back to FAQ
Q. Is there much airplane noise?
Back to FAQ
A.
The nearest huge, full-service grocery store is called Ralph's. It is
located about a 4 or 5-minute drive and about a 15-minute walk from
Sunset Sands. There are other specialty grocery stores within a mile or
so as well. They include the wonderful Trader Joe's which has great
prices on all sorts of gourmet and healthy food, and Henry's which
specializes in natural foods and has fabulous fresh fruits and veggies.
My wife only goes to the normal grocery store (Ralph's) for the few
items that she can't get at the other two stores. And if you are
feeling desperate or lazy, there are two small markets that are just
(literally) a few steps from the unit. They have quite a few things
considering their small size.
Back to FAQ
Q. Does the balcony face the ocean?
Back to FAQ
Q. Are there any parking fees';\\''?
Back to FAQ
Q. Are the photos and the testimonials real?
A.
All the photos on our web page are of my unit only, and were taken by
my wife or me. (And, all the sunset pictures were taken by us, and are
not touched up!) And all the testimonials are real, too. They have come
from feedback forms and the like from tenants that stayed at Sunset
Sands.
Back to FAQ
A.,
We do not have a swimming pool. As far as I know, none of the vacation
rental condos or homes in the area do have one. However, Belmont Park
is home to The Plunge, a public Olympic-sized pool. The park and pool
are about a 10-minute walk from Sunset Sands
Back to FAQ
Q. Are there restaurants nearby?
A.
There is lots of casual dining in the area. It will take you many stays
at Sunset Sands to explore all the great eateries located within a mile
or so of the unit. A well-known, well-established, and well-regarded
seafood and steak restaurant is located about 100 steps from the unit.
I have no trouble PROMISING you great dining experiences while you are
here. But don't forget some of the other wonderful restaurants San
Diego has to offer, many of which are located within a 20-minute drive
to the Gaslamp District (downtown), Seaport Village, etc.
Back to FAQ
Q. What is the mosquito and bug situation like there?
A.
Amazingly, mosquitoes are rarely encountered at the beach. You can even
leave the patio door open after dark without any bug-bother. You may
never go to Florida again!
Back to FAQ
Q. What is the booking procedure?
A.
Please call or e-mail me to secure a reservation. My property manager
will then call you and take care of all the booking, payment, and
information details.
Back to FAQ
Q. Do you book by the week, or by the day?
A.,
We offer only Saturday to Saturday weekly bookings during the summer
season, Memorial Day through Labor Day. During the other 9 months of
the year we can provide daily bookings with a 2-day minimum. The
non-summer bookings can start and end on any day of the week.
