My boyfriend and I spent nearly three weeks in the studio and we could not have had a better time.
The location is amazing, 1 block from the beach, which makes a huge difference when carrying surfboards!! Edward and his family were extremely kind and friendly people. Having the studio at the back of the house with our own private entrance was ideal since we could come and go as we pleased. Also useful to have access to the driveway for our rental car, and use of the family's surfboards and bikes. Other points to note included huge comfortable bed, huge tv, great air con, hot powerful shower and practical layout of having the shower room before the bedroom when you're sandy from the beach!
Pacific Beach is our favourite beach along that part of the coast, much more chilled than the touristy mission bay / ocean beach, and also close to lajolla and del mar villages which are beautiful.
