Doug's place was perfect for a quick beach getaway. You are on the second floor of a multi unit building adjacent to Mission Blvd facing a small path to the beach so you won't have beach views and you will be subject to traffic noise and the other sounds of daily life, but if it's quiet connection with the ocean you seek with a morning coffee, it's a very short walk to the beach. Standouts about the place were the clean surroundings, courtyard for your common use with a bar b que, comfortable beds, close location to the beach and just about everything. Stock up at the Ralph's supermarket just a few blocks up across Mission Blvd and there are many places to eat in either direction. Doug provided two fold able beach chairs and an umbrella which means we didn't have to carry these things from home which was good thing especially if you have to fly in. We had zero problems with parking during our stay but I do see how it might be at busier times. Doug communicates well with information that was helpful and highly accurate. We had a great stay and would rent the place again and highly recommend it.
