We enjoyed our stay with Urban Sands! They had excellent communication and took care of a few minor issues fairly promptly (ac unit was making noises and shower curtain rod needed to be replaced). The king bed in particular was very comfortable, the queen less comfortable, and we didn’t use the double. Noise was about what you’d expect being right on Mission Blvd. There were definitely some noisy cars and trash trucks. And you can hear when the coffee shop below is starting to get ready at 6am. Our noise makers for the kids helped tremendously. On one night, the tattoo parlor across the street had live music, which was pretty loud, but they stopped by 9-10pm so it wasn’t too bad.
We booked this stay mainly for its location though and it did not disappoint! I thought our 2 year old would enjoy the beach side more, but he almost got knocked down by a wave and then got scared so we actually spent the majority of our time on the bay side, which has calm waters, is less crowded, and more convenient to get to. The house’s beach towels and beach toys (buckets and shovels) got great use! We didn’t get to use the chairs or umbrellas though. The outdoor shower/hose was nice too to get off sand before entering the home.
Besides that, appreciated having two parking spots, although they are tight. We had two compact SUVs and found we had to unload one side first before backing in so we could get a close to the wall as possible. We enjoyed the games and Netflix too, which we’ve found not all hosts offer. The coffee shop below was great. We’d definitely be open to staying again!
