FULL DESCRIPTION
Bayside Retreat puts the entire building at 2719 Bayside Walk at your disposal — two fully equipped bayfront units, second and third floor, with Mission Bay directly below and the ocean a five-minute walk across the strand.

The second floor centers on the retractable floor-to-ceiling glass wall that opens the living room completely to the bay. A wet bar with wine fridge, gas BBQ on the bayfront balcony, and three ensuite bedrooms including a bunk room that sleeps five make this floor a complete vacation home on its own.

The third-floor penthouse adds a private rooftop deck with heated hot tub, BBQ, outdoor dining, and lounge seating above the roofline and panoramic bay views in every direction. A dedicated office makes this level a natural fit for extended stays and remote workers. Two ensuite bedrooms and central AC complete the picture.

Both units have in-unit laundry, whole-home water filtration, tandem garage parking for two cars each, and the same Bayside Walk address. Every Bluewater reservation includes complimentary beach gear and bike rentals from a local shop.

NEIGHBORHOOD: SOUTH MISSION BEACH
South Mission Beach is the quieter, more residential end of the Mission Beach peninsula, narrow enough that the bay and the ocean are never more than a block apart. Bayside Walk runs directly in front of the building, a car-free bayfront path popular with cyclists, joggers, and families at all hours.

The ocean side is a five-minute walk through the alley: wider beach, surf, and the energy of the boardwalk. Mission Point Park with palm trees, grass, and a playground is next door. The nearest dining cluster, Sara's, Capri, Lazy Eye, The Pennant, and The Beachcomber, is all within 0.3 miles. Belmont Park is 0.6 miles north. SeaWorld is 2.5 miles across the bay, visible at night from both the balcony and the rooftop.
