Trevor’s place was perfect for our small family of 3. We could not have had asked for a better location! Our 3 year old had no problems walking the 3min to the beach (ocean side) carrying a big bucket of beach toys (provided by the Airbnb). We could see the bay side from our door so we enjoyed beautiful, cozy sunrises with our coffee, just steps away! Some of the best restaurants, breakfast spots, coffee shops and lively nightlife just a few houses away on Mission. The place was in the center of all that PB and MB has to offer but was very quiet, safe, and nicely tucked away.
We walked to Belmont Park in about 15-20min and drove to Sea World in less than 15min. There are also plenty of Bird scooters around to rent and many bike rental places within a few min walk.
We were a little nervous about parking but Parking was actually not hard at all! We found free parking spots easily on Mission when we came and went as well as in the Santa Clara Rec Center Parking lot which had 100s of spaces for free. (We were there F-M in Nov).
The home is exactly as described and pictured! Enough space to comfortably cook, clean up after a day at the beach, and a cozy bed to rest. The sleeper sofa was fine for our kiddo and nice to have that to move her to, after she fell asleep.
The rooftop was fun and our 3 year old was able to climb up (between us) on her own. Be sure to pull the ladder all the way out! I’m not a fan of unsecured heights and I was able to do it easily! The first time took some breathing and self talk lol but after that it was actually a breeze! The ladder to the roof top is located outside of the back door, so that was nice because we felt more comfortable knowing that our kiddo could not access it without us knowing.
Overall, the place was perfect! We were comfortable, Trevor was extremely helpful and responsive ( he even checked in on us via message on day 1) and the location was perfect for all of our family plans! If you are looking for an affordable spot on the beach or bay and great restaurants and hot spots for dinner and drinks, this is definitely the place for you!
