We loved staying at Emily's place! This was our first post-covid family vacation, and we wanted a beach, walkable restaurants, and other nearby family friendly options. This spot checked all the boxes. The beach and bay are just steps away - we carried chairs, a cooler, beach tent, bags, and our small kids walked with us with no problems. All of Emily's recommendations on where to eat were great. We did Guava Beach, Miss B's, Rosario's, Better Buzz, Oceana, and Mission Cafe -- all walkable, all fantastic. Made many trips to the Hub which has a great selection of grocery items as well as ice cream (kids) and alcohol (adults).
Driving we did the Zoo, Sea World, and take out from Athena in Pacific Beach. All super convenient to get to, and the house was the perfect place to relax after our big family days out. Our girls loved the "penthouse" as we called it with their own en suite bathroom. They actually let us sleep until 7am...SHOCKING. Kitchen is well supplied. We didn't cook too much, but anything we reached for and needed was there. Extensive DVD collection that the husband and I enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Tons of books to borrow!
Emily was super responsive, check in/out process was a breeze. We would love to stay here again for our next beach vacay! Thanks again!
