We loved our 5 night stay in North Pacific Beach at Richard's comfortable and nicely decorated 1 bedroom that is excellent for 2 people. We were especially happy with the .4 mile walk to the beach and also very walkable to restaurants. We walked to the beach every evening for a lovely sunset and stroll on the beach or the beach path. We also used the beach cruiser bikes to do a 15 mile loop around Mission Beach and to check out a farmer's market. I did sit on the patio once to get some sunshine. The location is central enough to head North or South. You can generally park fairly close by. We would recommend this place and would come back again.
