We had a wonderful 3-night stay and wish it was longer! The condo is wonderful for 2 (or parents and 1 child). We didn’t cook at all but the kitchen seemed nice and well-appointed. You can see the ocean from the kitchen window. The bed was comfy and linens were nice. The condo was very clean and we appreciated the beach chairs, towels, etc and also the rinse off station outside the condo. This location could NOT be more perfect and that is why we will definitely be back. The condo is literally a 1 minute walk to the ocean beach and boardwalk. The boardwalk will take you to Mission Beach restaurants (maybe 1/2 mile?) or all the way to Pacific Beach (2.5 miles). We walked to Starbucks each morning, then enjoyed some time on the ocean side. Then it was back to the condo, picked up our paddleboard and spent the afternoon on the bay. The bay is less than a 5 minute walk through a cute alley across from the condo. The bay was less windy, warm and calm.
We walked everywhere so didn’t need a car but the parking spot is right there if you need it. It was also very quiet at night (this was a worry of mine because Mission/Pacific Beach can be rambunctious and we are light sleepers). The area where the condo is located is residential though and very quiet. Honestly, the whole stay couldn’t have been better.
Like a previous poster said, the hot water takes a little while to get warm so just be patient with it - it does get nice and hot after a little bit!
We enjoyed some great restaurants! Cannonball for gorgeous views and good drinks/food. We also liked Draft (the portions were huge so we shared one meal). Our other fave was in Pacific Beach - Bare Back grill. It’s inspired by New Zealand and the lamb burger is delicious!
