I loved this apartment over the surf shop! Loved it. Loved the hosts even more!!
Amy and Benny are superb hosts and entrepreneurs. They kept in contact with me as I drove in from Arizona and made sure I had a parking space outside their surf shop.
Which is really cool too and I encourage all guests to go down and check out the shop. That’s another review though.
So.
My daughter and I stayed
in surf shack north, an apartment above the business. And yes there is a surf shack south.
North is one bedroom, one bath, couch that folds out and can accommodate 2…so perhaps 4 max. But you gotta like each other.
I assume the south apartment has the same configuration.
The place is clean and well appointed…Amy really cares about the space and just has filled it with thoughtful touches.
Like snacks, and cold drinks…beach towels and sun screen- make up remover for my daughter.
Just cool.
And thoughtful.
Really really thoughtful.
It is old school Mission/Pacific Beach.
( I don’t know where the dividing line is between the beaches. I thought it was Crystal Pier, but I’m doubting my solid San Diego knowledge on that issue)
I do know this is a cool little place to stay.
It’s not full on new, but things have been redone comfortably.
And is stocked with pots and pans, stove and microwave, coffee maker, toaster, iron for your wrinkly travel clothes, little nice shampoos and soaps and hand sanitizers, 2 big screen TVs (Roku, Hulu, Netflix etc) WiFi…really cool.
And like I said, funky old school you’re at the beach not a five star resort…go out to the beach, eat good food, return to a safe roof over your head and do the same the next day.
This place isn’t new with modern appliances.
But it’s cool- Mission/Pacific hidden gem secret alley entrance cool.
It’s clean, everything works, and the hosts are supreme!!!
I highly recommend this stay and these hosts.
I will be back!!
