Excellent spot for a beach vacation. I believe it is about 80 steps to the sand! Great location for beach days or visiting some sights in SD. Great communication with the owners. Easy check-in/out. Great walkable spots for breakfast, lunch, happy hour and dinner. We recommend adding a wine opener and a pizza slicer to the kitchen supply.

This house is amazing! Our family had such a great time here; the location is absolutely perfect. My kids, 15, 14, 10, & 9 had the best time. The neighborhood is fantastic and the kids were able to come and go as they please without worry. We were a half a block from the beach and equally close to the bay. There are food, ice cream, and shopping all within walking distance. Everything you need is here when you get there. Towels, beach chairs, umbrella, etc and the house is just the perfect amount of space. We rented bikes for 24 hours and had a blast. Riding all over the area and up and down the boardwalk. The house is clean, very clean, and easily accessible. Dishes and laundry was key, and groceries are easily delivered via instacart from the nicest people. The management company was amazing and were accommodating with everything that we asked and needed. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back. Thank you so much!!

Spring break Beach house

We had a great time at the cozy home. Nice to have a house with all the amenities so close to the beach and bay. We would just walk in barfed up the street to the beech. The kids lived walking up and going straight to the sand! Coffee, convinient store, restaurants and other shops are within a few blocks. Easy check in. Responsive owner. Would deconstructed stay again.

Nice location and cute little house

The property was clean and well located. It was a walkable location to mission Beach and restaurants. The house only has 1 small bathroom so it would be harder with 6 adults. We had 3 adults and 3 kids.

Overall Nice Stay

A few tbings to consider when renting this house. 1) It does sleep seven, but there is no room for seven people to sit in the living room and visit. It was tight for three. Four would be maximum. 2) I would wash the dishes before you use them. 3) Very centrally located to the beach and restaurants. 4) If you have several children, the third room may not be convenient. You physically have to leave the house, cross a small walkway, and enter the other room. There is no bathroom out there. Overall, for a few people, it was fine. The price is great for the proximity to the beach.

You can go to ocean or bay depending on if you wanna see sunrise or sunset. Great for young adults for bars and restaurants. You could hit a different place every meal.
