Location, location, location! What the house lacks, the location more than makes up for. We were even closer to the beach then we realized, and easily walked all around Mission Beach area with our kids in tow. The house is pretty bare bones with decades of deferred maintenance, but it was 100% worth it to be in this location. It had what we needed, and the value made this awesome beach location affordable for our family. Highly recommend if you don’t mind a place that’s a little rough — you’re not in SD to hang out inside anyway!!
