The condo is in a great location close to the beach and walking distance to many restaurants, shops and most importantly, Starbucks :). Having a parking spot is KEY in this area as it would have been impossible to find a spot, so this was a great amenity! It is literally steps to the beach and the entire Mission Beach area is great for running, walking, biking, skating, etc. No "I'm on vacation" excuses for not getting out there :). If beach proximity is your objective--this is the place for you!
