We have stayed in Amanda's place for three summers now and it's perfect for us. As a family with kids, we love the outdoor patio without traffic. We walk four houses to the beach for waves or we cross mission (2 blocks total) and we are at the calm shores of Mission Bay, where we always rent boats and toys from the marina there. In a perfect world, this house would be ours. Until then, we come back every year because it's the best rental we've found in San Diego!
