A great location for a family vacation. The Mission Bay beaches are steps away and are perfect for young children. The Pacific beaches have bigger waves and are better for older children/teenagers, our 4 teenagers took surfing lessons during our stay. Mark was an outstanding host, extremely responsive to our relatively minor problems, he had a spare propane tank for the BBQ when we ran out and he fixed a flat tire on one of the bicycles the same day. House was fully equipped with everything we needed, nice to be able to fix meals at home. A very quiet neighbourhood, well away from the bar scene. Although we were there in the off season, I am sure the on site parking is a big plus during the high season. A great vacation/escape from our never ending winter!
