The apartment was excellently presented and felt like a home away from home. The apartment is ideally located one block from the ocean (we witnessed the legendary green flash as the sun set beyond the ocean). Half a block to the east is Mission Bay which is visible from the kitchen and living room.
Two blocks to the north is the Catamaran Hotel with a great happy hour, free beach umbrellas and chairs on the bay, and a plethora of water toys to rent for an hour or the day. Sailing lessons are even offered for the first time sailor. Ralph's supermarket is just four blocks north on Mission Blvd. There was no reason to use the rental car once we made it to the apartment.
