My family and I stayed in this house for two weeks. It was a great experience. It has a perfect balance of being close to the water, but still being slightly removed. You have the bay just a few feet away in one direction and the ocean in the other. We have a baby and were worried about staying at Mission Beach for fear that it would be nonstop party central. Fortunately, the house is far enough away from the beach as to be quiet and peaceful. But you're so close that you can go have fun anytime you want.

The house was clean and surprisingly spacious. It had a good beach-house feel without feeling rundown. Being on the second floor was nice as well since we didn't have people walking by our windows. We were able to leave the windows wide open all throughout the day and evening.

We would happily stay here again.
