Janet & Scott’s place was great for our family of 5. The unit was plenty big for us and our three teenage boys. The second bedroom has a bunk bed and a trundle that pulls out so they could have all slept in there but our oldest preferred sleeping on the couch in the living room. There is also a portable air conditioner in the living room that keeps the living area cool.
The unit was well equipped with a Kuerig to enjoy your morning coffee on the patio overlooking the bay and full fridge, micro, stove, and washer/dryer. We didn’t cook but everything was there if you wanted to including a gas grill on the patio.
The location is awesome literally steps from the calm bay or a couple minute walk from the ocean side. Our boys are a little older so they preferred the waves on the ocean side. Both sides have a beach walk which are great to walk, run, rent scooters or bikes.
The unit is down a little bit from the busy area of mission beach so it is nice and quiet but all the hustle and bustle is close by scooter or bike. There are beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board, and beach toys provided. There are also many food places, rentals for beach toys and bikes, and electric scooters are everywhere. We preferred the Lyft scooters after trying them all.
We only stayed for three nights and mainly wanted to hang out at the beach and go to a Padres game but would have loved to stay longer. We would have loved to take advantage of the grill, had a bonfire on the beach (there is a service that does this), and just hung out some more.
We enjoyed checking out La Jolla, downtown San Diego and gaslight district, and the whole mission beach and pacific beach areas. Everything is within 20 minutes by car. We would definitely recommend this place!!
