Mark is a great and thoughtful host. He was there when we checked in and was very helpful with finding things and getting into the parking place. The parking spot is quite tight, as mentioned in the listing. You will be more comfortable if you do not try to park a large vehicle there, although it is possible. It was fine, just cumbersome in trying to load and unload the car. It is nice that there IS a parking spot since parking in this area is scarce.
This location is convenient to both the Bay, the ocean, and biking/walking paths. Also a short drive to Sea World, which we did twice.
The patio is dreamy and we really enjoyed eating out there. Mark had all kinds of recreational toys like bikes, boogie boards, sand toys, etc. We took advantage of the sand toys and boogie boards and had a great time.
The thing I liked best is that Mark and his family were on site in case of a problem or question, but they didn't hover over us. We had lots of privacy and space. This is a great place to stay.
