Me and my family absolutely loved this beach house! It is a short (about 1/2 block) walk to mission beach, and a quick and easy stroll on the boardwalk down to Belmont Park (restaurants, amusement park, games and fun!). There's so much to do and enjoy within walking distance; but it is also an absolutely wonderful place to kick back and relax. Tess supplied bikes so we could easily ride anywhere, the house was clean, super comfortable with comfy beds, a well stocked kitchen, entertainment system, and lots of space for our local friends to come over for dinner. The front patio is a great place to have a meal or BBQ (there's a grill on the patio), or just hang out on the couches she has out there. The minute you get to this house, it feels like you can breathe a sigh of relief and be on vacation! Tess was super responsive when we had questions and was a great host. We will be back for sure!
