really liked pacific beach. it was a perfect place for our family vacation (6 yo and 4 yo). the house was a short walk to beach, restaurants, bike rentals, and not too far a drive from other SD activities (zoo, la jolla, downtown, etc.). the house had beach towels, sand toys, and boogie boards. ryder was very helpful and responded to any questions we had very quickly. really enjoyed biking and walking along the ocean front walk around pacific and mission beach areas.
