Sometimes, in the time of Covid, a stay-cation is
just what you need. In my case, our house was
having maintenance tenting, and we needed
to vacate for several days. Where to go? Desert,
Mountains, Beach? It made sense to stay close
to home, to keep an eye on things. I’m here
to say, that choosing Blue Agate was the exact right decision!
Whether you’re a local needing to put up guests, or traveling
to San Diego for the first time, or like us, just needing
a place close to home: it’s a very clean, modern,
well-appointed, convenient condo, just a short walk
to Tourmaline beach, and less than a 5-minute drive
to world famous Windansea Beach. The mattress made
our backs happy, the internet was fast, and it was well-stocked
with pots n pans and utensils, if one is in the mood to cook.
The refrigerator is normal size (not teensy weensy),
perfect for groceries, or left-overs—with
stove, microwave or toaster oven available to heat and eat!
It’s located at the N end of San Diego’s Pacific Beach neighborhood,
with a top-end grocery store right out the back gate (a store with an
excellent Korean sushi chef, and also a fresh food bar). The neighborhood
is abound with great eateries, and even during Covid restrictions you can find
good food available for take-out, or outdoor dining within walking distance.
It’s also convenient to get to the usual sites of San Diego, with Balboa Park, the Zoo
and the airport, about a 20 minute drive. But for us, we just kicked back,
read, caught up on some writing, watched the Super Bowl, and watched
the sun go down over our beautiful Pacific Ocean, just a short walk away.
Thanks, Jackie for being a wonderful host!
