Ann and Steve‘s beach house located near Santa Clara Point was the perfect San Diego retreat hub for us. Calmed by creamy-smooth bedding and the sound of ocean waves, it felt amazingly serene. Located close to a good bakery and a cluster of cafes, this fresh modern home with its tree-top main bedroom/spa bath and open spiral staircase evokes a tri-level boathouse floating on a tranquil glass-quiet bay. Immaculately clean with lots of comfortable furniture, we appreciated the secure private garage parking, easy self-check-in, a nice variety of kitchen utensils, plus good lighting and water pressure. There’s a cozy bedroom/bathroom on the ground floor, while the living/dining/kitchen day use area is located on the second floor providing sights of the bay and reflective city lights.
We had fun exploring North Mission Beach. The setting is a narrow strip of playground paradise; great for bird watching, photography, or literally any land or water sport you desire such as fishing, bicycling, skating, rowing, kayaking or standup paddle boarding. The nearby Aquatic Center (MBAC) has watersport lessons and youth camps. A stroll along Bayside Walk should make anyone happy! For variety, and merely a street away, is a merry crowd on Ocean Front Walk and the Pacific Ocean’s roaring surf. We explored the narrow walking “Courts” that are perpendicular to Mission Blvd, tightly clustered with a delightful mishmash of 1940’s woody cottages and rock cobble bungalows alongside trendy modern glass & steel dwellings. You'll have the best of all worlds at this location starting with bayside sunrises and ending with evening ocean sunsets. Thank you, Ann & Steve for sharing your very fine home with us!
