This is the second Christmas in a row we've spent at Christine's beach house, so clearly we're fans of the place and its central location in Pacific Beach: walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, fitness centers, the beach and Mission Bay. The house is very comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen, and washer/dryer in the garage area. As the yard is fenced in, we brought our dog this year which was a real bonus for our family get together in San Diego. Christine and Derek are lightning quick to respond to any questions we have. 5-stars all around. We will definitely consider returning again.
