William's property is located in a great spot near the beach and Belmont Park boardwalk. You need to take a walkway past a row of houses to get to the beach, but it's not far and very convenient to get to the beach and surrounding area.
Checking in and out was easy, and William did a great job of communicating proactively and responding whenever we had questions. All appliances were in good working order. Hard flooring (no carpet) throughout. A vacuum cleaner for guest use would have been nice to clean up the occasional bit of sand that gets tracked in.
There are 2 bedrooms on the ground floor where the garage is, a master bedroom on the 2nd floor (main entrance landing in between ground and 2nd floors), and kitchen & dining room on the 3rd floor. It takes a bit of exercise to carry groceries to the top floor, but you're rewarded with a nice sunny view.
A few things have changed since the listing's photos were published, for example instead of a bunk bed there are two separate twin beds side by side. There were a few minor maintenance items that William was responsive and helpful about.
A few travel tips: the access road is narrow and takes a little maneuvering to get in the garage if you have a large vehicle. Some neighbors were noisy at times, but there's a strict noise ordinance in place which William warned us about, and people seemed to respect that for the most part. Mission Beach in general is near San Diego airport (and SeaWorld!), which is convenient but also means you will hear noise from planes, which we found most noticeable in the mornings. During popular weekend times, one of the main roadways into this part of Mission Beach can get pretty slow.
Thanks for a fun stay!
