This was really a great experience renting in Mission Beach mainly because the place was exactly what we were looking for and there was no hassle in any part of it.

The location is great. You are 50 yards from the wall that divides the beach from the boardwalk. The neighborhood is a mix of bungalows and houses that are occupied by a range of ages. But, the younger people are respectful. We had a group of twenty-somethings starting to rev it up next door on Saturday night, but at 11, things were shut down and we didn't hear anything from them the rest of the night. We had a very different experience when we stayed in Pacific Beach previously.

Parking is tight in Mission Beach. Not a problem for us. There is a garage around back that is controlled by a keypad outside.

The patio is really nice and the furniture is really comfortable. My wife spent a fair amount of time out there and we even hosted a small party on it out last night there with our daughter and her friends. One caveat - if you are there in the winter be sure to leave to leave the cushions out in the sun so they can dry. They get pretty wet overnight.

Bedrooms and beds all really comfortable.

All in all, a great place to stay for a small family in a great part of San Diego. Would definitely rent there again.
