I've stayed in Mission Beach before, and Mark's house location is perfect - one block from the bay, two blocks from the beach, generally quiet, and a short walk to good restaurants and great coffee shops. I was traveling solo on a surfing trip, so having a dedicated parking space was perfect for my rental car and surfboard. The kitchen had all the basics I needed for cooking, there were beach towels and chairs, and the house had a relaxing vibe to it.

Mark responded quickly when I had questions, both before and during the trip. And he was very accommodating to my travel schedule, which I really appreciated.

Next time I'm in San Diego, I'd like to rent this house again!
