Exterior of Top Gun House at Mission Pacific Beach Resort

TOP GUN HOUSE

The Top Gun House is one of Oceanside’s most iconic landmarks and a meaningful part of Mission Pacific’s story. Featured in the 1986 Top Gun film, the beautifully restored 1887 bungalow is home to An’s Gate D5, an immersive gelato experience from San Diego’s award-winning An’s Gelato.

Inspired by the excitement of travel, An’s Gate D5 puts a playful airport-inspired spin on the traditional gelato shop. Start at the flight-style check-in counter, where you can sample the rotating lineup before choosing your “Carry On” or “Checked Bag.” The menu features small-batch flavors inspired by destinations around the world, alongside coffee drinks and gelato-topped nitro cold brew.

Named USA Today’s 10Best “Best Ice Cream Shop in America” in both 2024 and 2025, An’s brings its signature creativity to a landmark that has drawn visitors to Oceanside for decades.

Located in Mission Pacific’s beachfront courtyard overlooking the Oceanside Pier, the Top Gun House brings together a piece of cinematic history, distinctive architecture, and an experience worth tasting.
