This little house and its sweet host, Mercy, deserve to have a children's book written about them. The city of Pacific Beach was built up around Mercy's house but she refused to sell when the developer of a 10 story hotel tried to buy her out. That's what makes her location such an amazing deal!!! The house is just steps from the sand but there is no view because it is dwarfed by the surrounding hotels. Mercy is very accommodating and good at communication. She is so sweet! The off street parking was a great bonus too. Something to consider though, is that there is no air conditioning in the tiny house. The patio was a great escape from San Diego's summer heat. It's a little oasis. I would definitely recommend a casual stay in Mercy's darling home. We felt like family.
