We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Katy' place. A few days alone, then a few days with the grand kids. The house was very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen, steps away from both the Bay (we bicycled) and the beach (we walked). This is a true (and very comfortable) beach house. We took advantage of the beach toys and umbrella, the bicycles, the grill, and the rooftop deck, where we watched the sunset every evening. Mission Beach is a great place for kids and families. Communication with Katy was excellent at every turn. Although the house is located on a lively street, I would have no hesitation recommending this property to anyone wanting a beach vacation.
