NEW Murphy Bed+BIKES! Sail Bay Sunset - Bayfront Penthouse w/beach access+parking!

NEW Murphy Bed! Room for 2 more! PLUS BIKES!

Below you will find details about our beautiful, NEW 1 bed/1 bath Bayfront condo, Sail Bay Sunset on Mission Bay!

This penthouse-level condo was completely remodeled in August 2024. The minimalist design echoes the Danish "hygge" perception of coziness and conviviality. This notion encourages "a form of everyday togetherness, and a pleasant and highly valued experience of safety, equality, and personal wholeness." A known comfort and a mood of peace and contentment of the soul, mind, and consciousness.

This condo's decor also leans toward a farmhouse style with modern and thoughtful furnishings such as the stone and wood mantle gas fireplace and farmhouse kitchen sink. The fully-equipped kitchen has new stainless steel appliances including a water filter in the dual-door refrigerator, electric stove top, dishwasher, window cabinets, slow-close drawers, and alluring granite countertops that continue along the adjacent coffee bar and in the bathroom. Even while prepping and cooking meals in the kitchen, you can see the sunset adorn the bay's horizon at the end of the day.

Delight in lively meals with friends and family at the breakfast bar or dining table set for four. Gather around the TV to stream a game or movie, or just to listen to the bay's soft waves as you wind down in front of the warmth and ambiance of the gas fireplace.

The master bedroom has a king bed with a dresser and large mirrored closets offering plenty of additional storage. The in-suite bathroom (also accessible from the foyer), has a dual vanity, stunning marble detailing, and Mediterranean-style, spacious 5ft x 4ft shower.

With a choice of standard or Keurig style - brew a cup of coffee to take in the morning activity from the balcony overlooking Mission Bay. Enjoy the proximity to sandy shores, restaurants and shops along the boardwalk, and even the views to Pacific Beach on a clear day! Take the boardwalk around about a half of a mile to Pacific and Mission beaches - stroll or bike on one of the provided cruisers (COMING SOON) around the bay to join in the fun!

This condo has 1 reserved parking space in the gated, underground garage of the Riviera Villas complex. Direct access to the bay front creates ease in transporting family and equipment for a day in the sun! The cabinet in front of the parking space holds beach accessories such as, beach chairs, cooler, umbrella and boogie boards.

Enjoy luxury in simplicity at this charming, new condo on the bay where you will never miss a Sail Bay Sunset!

At Riviera Villas, there is a laundry room on each floor with credit card or coin-operated front-loading washers and dryers and a trash chute. It's just 25 feet (or 12 steps) down the hallway. The half-underground parking area has designated parking space(s) for each condo and the cabinets in front of our condo's parking space hold beach accessories.

Riviera Villas Condominiums is a 22-unit building situated on the quieter East side of beautiful Sail Bay (the loveliest part of Mission Bay)! You will have a magnificent view of the sunsets with the activities of the bay in the foreground; kite-boarders, small sailboats, water skiers, catamarans, etc. Yet, you are only 12 minutes from San Diego's bustling downtown historic Gaslamp area and Little Italy, both with their fine dining establishments, 1.5 miles from SeaWorld and within 15 minutes from the lovely Balboa Park with the famous San Diego Zoo and its fabulous collection of museums and botanical gardens.

It's just a 10 minute stroll around the bay over to Pacific and Mission Beaches with their wide boardwalks to watch the surfers, play in the waves or catch a sunset. On a cloudless evening you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive green flash just at the exact moment the sun sinks into the ocean.

Policies & House Rules

What to expect after booking:
We manage properties on behalf of our owners. Upon confirming your booking, we will send you a rental agreement for your upcoming stay which you will need to complete. This agreement reviews our terms and conditions, house rules and policies, and what to expect of your stay. We will also contact you within 24 hours of the booking to obtain contact information and to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding your upcoming visit. The check-in details will not be shared until the rental agreement has been signed, payment has been made, and the guest has connected with one of our guest services agents.

In addition to completing our electronic rental agreement, you will also be required to participate in our identity verification process. The Verify Hub service is offered through Autohost; an intelligent guest screening software that automates ID verifications, background and credit checks, security deposits and more, helping to improve guest experience and safety. Please note: for the credit card verification, a $2 hold will be placed on the card to run the report. This hold will never process and will fall off automatically within 7 days.

Property Appearance:
Vacation rentals in San Diego are, for the most part, second homes for the owners. Therefore, some furniture or decor may differ from what is pictured because the owners needed or wanted to replace something. Professional photos are expensive and we can not re-photograph the rental every time something is changed but we do maintain the listing content with any notable furnishing changes especially related to sleeping arrangements. (*Please note: We do not give refunds because a piece of furniture or artwork has changed)

Property Responsibilities:
If you have never stayed in a vacation rental before, we are not a hotel, WE ARE BETTER! We offer many of the same luxuries of a hotel with the comfort and space of home to share with your whole family. Our property owners are our friends and we work with each owner to offer a special, specific and ideal environment for guests to experience and enjoy. All of our homes offer similar amenities so you can expect the same experience whenever staying with us.

With that said, we need you to do your part in helping us maintain each home. Please be attentive to ALL RESPONSIBILITIES as a guest of our home. Trash/Recycling, Check-out duties, Communication to management, Replacement of keys/fobs/remotes, and Care of the home all help us give each guest and family a home to feel at home in. We appreciate your assistance in making our homes and our business unlike any other!

ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES ARE NON-SMOKING.
Many buildings are also managed by HOAs who will fine guests for misconduct.

This home is in a residential neighborhood and, as such, is a NOISE SENSITIVE property. Respect must be shown for the property and neighbors at all times. No loud music, parties, and or loud talking outside after 9 pm. Violation of these rules MAY result in immediate eviction from the property per your rental agreement, and/or fines from the San Diego Police. Please review your rental agreement for complete details and rules about your home!

Please follow all instructions for your arrival and departure in our email and phone call correspondence. There is signage around the home to assist with the use of amenities and questions that you may have during your stay. We are available too, even after hours, give us a call!

Holiday 2024 Policy:
6-night minimum AND Saturday check-in is REQUIRED during our holiday season (December 21-January 4). One reservation CANNOT take both holidays unless it is a 2-week reservation. There are no arrivals OR departures on Christmas or New Year's Day.

Last-Minute Booking Policy:
If a guest books with us directly or on VRBO, within 72 hours of arrival, verification credentials are required. By making a payment on the reservation, the guest agrees to comply with our last-minute booking policy.

To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a “selfie” photo specifically of the booking guest's face and holding either a Driver's License, Passport, or State ID photo under their chin. We are just looking for a name to match and the photo on the ID to match that of the person in the selfie. This can be sent by email or text to our company email address. Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.

This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.

Nightly Minimum Policy:
4 night minimum is required in the off-season.
6 nights AND a Saturday Check-in is REQUIRED during peak season (June - August). Arrival on Friday or Sunday instead may be an option.

We are available 7 days a week from 10a-6pm PST, and after hours in case of emergency!
