Stayed 9 nights in July 2022. A great location very close to both the beach and bay. I found the place itself a little underwhelming given the high cost.
Pros:
-Great location.
-Simple amenities, will work if you're juts looking for a place to sleep.
-Given the almost total lack of parking in the neighborhood, we found both the beach and bay beach to never be too busy. It seemed like most of the people on the beaches were staying at rentals in the area. There was always space for more people, so it was really nice not having the crowds that you get if you go 1-2 miles north or south on mission beach.
-Good communication from hosts.
Cons:
-Master bed room AC unit is so loud when running, I found it bothersome even with earplugs, but it was too hot without it running.
-The ceiling is pretty thin, all the guests above us had kids so it frequently sounded like a stampede above us.
-The photos in the listing are from a wide angle lens, so they make it seem just a little bigger than it is in reality. My girlfriend and I are on the thin side, and we felt cramped in most of the rooms. The king size bed takes up the entire bedroom, with only a few inches on the far side (no room for a 2nd nightstand). The number of times we accidentally hit our feet on the frame was annoying. The kitchen had some pots and pans, but none of them were really good, and given the tiny, tiny amount of counter space, it was a process to actually try to cook a meal from scratch. There were plenty of knives, but all dull as could be. All the kitchen stuff was cheap stuff from amazon or target that looks great in photos, but isn't pleasant to actually try and cook with. The living room, was comfortable, but again, tight on space, if you actually pulled a chair out from the table, it becomes difficult to move around or room to room. We drove up from AZ, and found that if we hadn't had the 2nd bedroom just to store our luggage, running and water gear we would've been tripping over it endlessly in the rest of the place.
It was an okay place, Janet and Scott were very attentive, so that is a plus.
