The check-in process couldn't have been easier. The unit was keyless, with access to the front door and garage by access code. When we got to the house, all we had to do was enter the code and we were in. The unit was very clean when we entered and fans were left running for us to keep the house cool. There was no A/C but let's be honest, you're on the beach in San Diego, it's not even close to being a necessity. With the fans and windows open, it was very pleasant. The house is only a 2 minute walk to the beach and there is a coffee shop, bar, and small market nearby. The area is mainly residential so if you're looking for the party scene on Mission Beach you're in the wrong place. All of that is just a short 5 minute drive up the beach, or 30 minute walk if you're so inclined. Belmont Park however is only a 10 minute walk or so from the house. The house also has a washer and dryer in the garage which is convenient for drying towels, as well as 2 boogie boards, pails and shovels, and an umbrella for use at the beach. I didn't see this anywhere in the listing but the garage does indeed fit 2 cars in case anyone is wondering. The house also has 2 balconies, 1 with a large table and chairs and grill. If you're looking for a nice, family friendly, amenity filled house that is only steps away from the beach, look no further.

P.S. Don't forget to visit Rubicon Deli a few minutes drive up the beach!
