100% Perfect location -- farther south you have more airplane noise and the amusement park crowds, farther north in Pacific Beach it's more nightlifey and crowded. For us this was the perfect spot, even better than being right on the strand (no crowds walking by all the time). The courtyards on both sides give a surprising amount of outdoor space, and the rear one is quite private. Three houses down from the busy road, there's very little noise. Very well equipped (except for the scratched nonstick frying pans...we brought our own). The parking space is narrow, but a Camry fits (barely). The whole place is exactly as described and pictured, and all instructions were very clear. Fish tacos on the beach a short walk in either direction, a convenience store with alcohol even closer, and real grocery stores a very short hop (or easy delivery) away.
Tip: the nearby Model Yacht Pond can provide a little free entertainment for young and old, if the clubs are sailing.
