Great area close to Mission Beach and Bay. Patty provides bikes, boogie boards, surf boards, kayaks, beach chairs, books and pretty much anything else that you could think of to have a great beach getaway. She is thorough and friendly and even provided us with a gift card to a local restaurant. Yes the road is noisy and the apartment is a bit warm, bed is a little rough but it's hard to beat being so close to the beach with all of the extra amenities she offers.
