We had a great stay in Mission Beach for a short weekend visiting family. The location is great as it is only a block away from beach and right around the corner from restaurants, bars, grocery and shopping. All walkable which is really nice. We were a little confused on the shared patio but this is probably my fault as I had to book in a hurry. It was a really warm weekend in San Diego so the portable AC unit has to work overtime to chill the unit. Overall, the converted garage unit was simple and had everything you would need.
