This home is so close to Mission Beach and Belmont Park. You get a parking space which really is helpful in that area as the beaches, bay and amusement park tend to be extremely busy. It was nice being able to walk to the beach so often. The hosts are great with communicating with you and their home is lovely to stay in. It’s within walking distance to lots of restaurants as well and lots of little shops that sell or rent beach toys/bikes and things like that. A grocery store is a quick drive away for anything you may need. I highly recommend that you stay there especially if you want to spend a lot of time at the beach. My family of seven had a blast and we spent a lot of time in the ocean and around the beach house. I also recommend you look into the San Diego Go Passes if you enjoy theme parks and zoos/aquariums as it’s a much more affordable way to experience more. We stayed a week and had those passes and visited Belmont Park, San Diego zoo, Legoland, Safari Park, Knottsberry Farm, Sea World and Balboa Park to see their Japanese Garden. Most of these things were a close drive aside from Knottsberry. It was a wonderful time.
