This is within walking distance to both the bayside and you just have to cross the street to be at the beach! At the end of the alley there are a bunch of places to eat or grab a juice/coffee! There are plenty of rentals around for bikes, paddle boards, surfboards, and wetsuits. There is an A/C unit in the Airbnb that blows pretty cold. There is a hose out front for those sandy feet. Bed is comfortable and they provided plenty of toilet paper and towels! I will say the most stressful part is parking, we parked on Santa Clara and there was usually a spot no matter the time of day including 3 charging stations if you have an electric car! Be aware that there are quite a few homeless people in the area so just don’t have any valuables in the car. This was the perfect stay for a couple and would definitely book again!
