We had an awesome vacation in Mission Beach and John's hospitality and well appointed condo were integral in our stellar beach memories. John was very accessible both before the booking and during our stay. He went above and beyond in answering our questions, providing additional information on local places to visit/eat and even providing a dog crate for my daughter's 10 week old puppy that she brought along.

The condo has everything you need to cook if you choose and the location is within walking distance to a number of eateries. We enjoyed having such immediate access to the beach and to the bay. John's condo is well stocked with beach chairs, bags, towels. boards and umbrella's. It was so nice to know that the beach essentials were on property and you didn't need to worry about buying them or bringing them with you. Nice!

The rooftop deck is excellent to hang out on, grill is up there as is the patio furniture where you can eat your meals. It is a great location for watching the SeaWorld fireworks. I would recommend renting cruisers for biking about the area, paddle boards and if you sail, a sailboat. It is definitely worth the time/money.

It is worth noting that that area in South Mission Beach is in the flight path of departing planes from San Diego and it is a consistent schedule with planes on the go from 6 am to between 11-12 nightly. If you are a light sleeper, you should bring earplugs. And you are in a densely populated area so you do hear your neighbors. It can make for some nice socializing too. Additionally, there is no air conditioning which isn't a big deal if there is a breeze; however, John provides fans throughout the condo.

I would recommend this condo wholeheartedly and would return here with my family.
