Directions for access once we got there were detailed & easy to follow. Pictures and description are spot on. Definitely an area for younger and/or party-oriented as far as location goes. There’s a bar right across the street from the balcony that plays loud music pretty much non-stop. Don’t expect to hear ocean waves unless it’s 5am. The balcony is very nice, with plenty of furniture but only expect good people watching. You can only see a sliver of the ocean the way it’s situated to the Crystal Pier Hotel.
There were a couple more really popular bars half a block down. Tons of restaurants within short walking distance as well as a CVS that carries a small amount of groceries.
The “boardwalk” runs right in front of the place & connects to Mission Beach. It’s a very short drive north to La Jolla or south to metropolitan San Diego.
There were beach toys and chairs available for use. The kitchen was very nice & well-stocked with everything you’d need to cook full meals if you wanted to. There were even a few spices, which is always nice.
The beds were comfortable & it was great to have 2 full bathrooms. We were there in March so it was also nice to have a heater and extra blankets.
As far as the complex goes, there is a hot tub but no pool. A dedicated parking spot in a secure parking garage is fantastic. The listing says there’s a washer & dryer, but know it’s laundromat-style a couple doors down & you’ll need quarters for them. The area is very busy but felt safe. All in all, a nice place to stay!
