This spot on Mission Bay definitely has a unique design. Its interior has a metal-intensive art deco layout that seems appropriate for a James Bond villain. Outdoors, the home opens up onto the peaceful bike lane that winds around the picturesque bay.
The ICON of Mission Beach
Our first rental option on the Pacific Ocean side of Mission Beach, The ICON is hard to miss. Besides the huge geometric architecture, the interior is uniquely designed to be reminiscent of the underside of a pier. Staying on the boardwalk of Mission Beach is extra fun as there’s always a sunset or volleyball game taking place and interesting people-watching.

Just up the sand from the courts are places to rent small sailboats to take out onto the peaceful bay.
