We had the pleasure of staying at the beach house forSpring Break week. We know Mission beach very well and usually go the resort route but after staying at the beach house this is definitely going to be the new norm. The cute beach house had more than enough for my husband and I and two teenagers as well as our dog. We loved how central it was to everything! It was a one minute walk onto the beach which was great when we wanted to sit at the beach and run back to the house to get food or use the restroom. Many of our favorite spots to eat were within 5 to 8 minute walk. We grabbed breakfast at Olive to go a couple of mornings and walked to our favorite breakfast spot~Mission. We also discovered a great new burrito shop a six minute walk away as well as a vegan sushi spot and a couple of fun bars. When the kids wanted to ride the coasters at Belmont Park we just walked along the beach for 16 minutes and we were there. The dog loved her morning walks as well! Only time we used our car was for Seaworld and eateries in Little Italy and such and everything was about a 15 minute drive from the house so super convenient again. I will also say since I hadn’t seen it mentioned in previous reviews that one day we did a tour at San Diego State University where my son will be attending in the fall and it was a quick 20 minute drive from the house which was fantastic!! Don Communicated really well with us from the start making sure that our stay was Great and when I mentioned a couple of things we needed he sent his staff over to drop items off at the house. Thanks so much Don for sharing your home with us for the week! We hope to be back soon!
