Searched long and hard for a place to stay in San Diego before settling on this listing. We weren’t disappointed!
- Fantastic location, a quick and easy walk to Mission Beach or the bay on the other side. Pacific Beach (PB) a bit to the north seemed to be more the party scene, but Mission Beach seemed quieter, less crowded, and more family and tourist oriented.
- Plenty of beach toys, our favorites were the boogie board, beach umbrella, and sand castle buckets. Planned to take the bikes out but ran out of time.
- A dedicated off-road parking space was a huge advantage. Don’t think I ever saw any vacant street parking spaces for this part of Mission Beach, and the nearest public parking lot charges $12/hour. Most hotels charge a daily parking fee in addition to their regular daily rates. We used one of the parking spaces out front and felt perfectly safe in the neighborhood, but if you have a smaller car you might be assigned the garage parking space.
- Free use of a washer and dryer in the garage was a plus.
- Patty was great at communicating and fixing issues that came up. When we arrived the air conditioning was broken and bathroom sink leaked, but she had someone come fix each within 24 hours of our notifying her. A gift card to a local restaurant and partial refund she gave us for the trouble was an appreciated gesture that made us feel she genuinely wants to provide her guests with a good experience and made us feel we were in good hands.
- We had neighbors on either side but never heard any sound through the walls.
- The Bird and Lime electric scooter rentals had a parking spot right across the street. Convenient for exploring the immediate area if you don’t have a car or for a fun zip up and down Mission Beach Rd.
- For the price and location this unit was exceptional value.
- Larger families may feel a little cramped, but it felt plenty roomy for my wife and I and our one year old. Having a pack’n’play and high chair waiting for us in the unit was great, we were dreading bringing ours with us. Definitely appreciated having doors separating the living area from the bedroom and bathroom.
- All in all a great experience, would love to come back and stay again.
