The location of this ground floor unit is wonderful! We were steps from the bayside beach. It was close to a bike riding and walking path for those that want to do that on their vacation. My daughter and I sat, watched the birds, wind surfers, paddle boarders and sail boats. I think I like this location better than the ocean side because it is quieter. It is a block from Mission Bay Blvd and about 2 blocks from the beach by the ocean. That last night I was there I was able to see a gorgeous sunset. My favorite meal was at Miss B's Coconut Grill. We went early evening before it filled up with customers. This unit didn't have a dedicated parking space. Parking is crazy hard to find at Mission Beach. Belmont Roller Coaster Park, right next to the beach, is a half a mile down the road with public day time parking. There is a lot to do here.
