This place is great. We arrived busy and stressed from work and craving sunshine. We are leaving so relaxed. We are traveling with a 2 year old and Mark's house is perfect. He and is family live upstairs. They have a pack and play, a bike with a toddler seat, toys, beach everything. We ended up needing to rent a car to get downtown, to Balboa park and the zoo. The grocery store is a bus or car ride away unless you bike with groceries which is also possible. The bay was amazing for us to play in and there is a playground nearby. Would love to return.
