If you're looking for a beach vacation, this is a really great location 4 houses from the beach. We thought we were getting a private home, but the neighborhood is basically full of rentals, (which is fine, just not what we expected.) We loved having the beach toys left near the garage - very handy. Basic groceries, restaurants and beach rentals are steps away. Mission Beach is lovely and there is a really nice trail that you can walk and bike on.
The interior of the apartment is pretty dated and the space is pretty small. The bathroom is especially cramped. We struggled a little to put our suitcases down somewhere and also couldn't hang our things as the closet was full of linens. It was also a little annoying to have a coin-operated washer/dryer (it's in the garage below the apartment) as we didn't always have quarters. The parking is also really tight in the garage and three nights out of eight, we came back to find a neighbor's guest blocking our driveway.
