This house was perfect for our group. The house is literally a block away from the beach that you can see from the patio area. It is perfect location to the heart of Mission Beach. We used the bikes multiple times and had no issues. There are plenty of chairs and towels for a group and the huge bonus for us (that we didn't realize) was that there was a playpen for our 10 month old in the master bedroom-COMPLETE LIFESAVER. This house does require you to climb a tall flight of stairs to access, so if you are not able to do stairs, this is not the place for you. The house is equipped with dishes and all of the kitchen utensils you would need to cook meals. Be sure to buy extra toilet paper if you will be there for more than a few days. All in all, the BEST stay we've had in California so far.
