Carolyn had everything ready and provided clear instructions throughout the whole process from booking to checkout. To not worry about our housing made our family vacation that much more enjoyable. The cleanliness far exceeded our expectations and we loved how new and fresh everything was.
The house had everything we needed and was described accurately on Airbnb. We loved the perfect balance of beach feel and modern decor. Soft close drawers and cabinets, rainwater shower heads, comfortable beds, and new appliances and TVs made for a delightful and relaxing stay. My boys especially enjoyed having space to themselves, so did we, to relax after our daily adventures.
The location was perfect for walking to the boardwalk for dinner, playing at the beach with the provided boogie boards, and the amazing sunsets. The neighborhood really has everything you need within walking distance or a short Uber / scooter ride away if you wanted to skip the rental car and stay in Mission Beach. It is a wonderful, relaxed neighborhood with friendly people and good food close by. Mission Beach does have some residents that are less fortunate than others but this was never a hindrance on enjoying all that is offered by the area. Having the choice to play in the bay or the ocean is a wonderful part of Mission Beach that is great for families with smaller children that might not handle the wave action of the ocean.
Parking was easy with the provided covered parking but would be tight for two cars. There is public street parking available for bigger groups only a few houses down. We only had one vehicle so it worked out perfect for us to pull up to the door and unload the car after our days of exploring the coast. We never experienced any traffic issues when sightseeing within the San Diego area. The zoo, Sea World, downtown, and the Bay area are all withing 5 to 20 minutes drive time from the house which made for an easy home base for our travels.
Carolyn has done a great job setting the home up for you to have a relaxing vacation and enjoyable stay in San Diego. We loved our stay so much that we are planning our return trip and will not hesitate to stay here again.
