We had a fabulous Thanksgiving week at Emily's lovely Mission Beach home. My family, including our 5yo and 2yo, loved the proximity to the beach and spent some of each day playing in the sand. There are beach chairs, towels, and sand toys that were perfect for the kids. We were able to pop out for coffee or takeout within a few blocks of the home. The kitchen was well-appointed and included some needed cooking staples. It was an easy drive to our main activities in Balboa Park and La Jolla. If you're expecting to stream your favorite shows, bring cables for connecting to the TV, which worked great. Emily was extremely flexible with our arrival and departure arrangements and very communicative the whole week. We look forward to our next visit!
