Feels like more than a 2 block distance from the beach. When you're carrying lots of items to the beach it gets long and difficult. The garage is a very tight fit. Thank goodness you have that parking though bc there isn't any other parking that isn't already taken. The fees are high but you agree upfront so no surprise there. The place is very cute and clean. The AC is great. It's a good location to get around to see San Diego.
