Dan and his wife were extremely welcoming and checked in with us after arriving. Brought us extra items I needed for the kids. The location has beach and waves on one side and beach of calm mission bay on the other. Seashell hunters paradise. It's a little bit of a walk to the mission bay park restaurants and shops. My 4yo complained about the walk...so a foldup beach wagon would have been handy to do serious shopping. But not bad for older kids or adults. I will say the house is right on a VERY busy street with a lot of car and foot traffic. Luckily with all the activities I did with the kids they were wiped out and slept through most of the noise. The TV was a pain to figure out, I could have reached out to the property manager for help but never did.
