We had a lovely long weekend stay at Mission Surf North. It is in Pacific Beach (south of La Jolla and North of Mission Beach), an area very popular with the college-aged and young professionals. The apartment was very cute with a beach theme. Amy stocked it well with some nice food/drink items as well as toiletries and even a few holiday goodies! The kitchen is well-appointed with dishes, cooking pans, a refrigerator, stove, oven, etc. The bed was very comfortable, and the apartment was very clean. There was some noise from Halloween partiers, but it was minimal. We enjoyed the retro video game machine. The apartment was a good size for a couple.
Amy is a very gracious host, friendly and warm. She was very good at responding to messages.
Parking is directly south of the surf shop, and an employee came out when we arrived and set us up with parking for the weekend. It is probably best to first arrive before 6 p.m. when the surf shop closes. We never had trouble parking in the lot, but it could be an issue in high season as it is first come-first served.
The location was very nice, about a block from the ocean. It was fun to ride our bikes down the boardwalk to Mission Beach and Mission Bay. There is a grocery store right across the street, and there are several bars/restaurants nearby. We had cinnamon rolls from Olive Bakery, and they were fabulous!
We really appreciated and enjoyed the warm hospitality!
