Great stay, great hosts, everything as described.
The listing is exactly as described and worked well for our family of five. While some may say it is small, we found it was perfectly fine and spent our time on the downstairs patio / outdoor area for things such as meals.
What was obvious is that this is a professionally run listing. The little things were all there in the kitchen (aluminum foil, plastic wrap, dishes for 6, cooking utensils). The consumables (bathroom products, paper towels, garbage bags) were all topped up so we would not run out. It felt like someone put in thought as to what guests would need, and supplied it. The hosts responded to my messages quickly. Everything was exactly as described, and the unit was cleaned thoroughly before we arrived.
Parking is an item to consider. There is a garage space, but our minivan couldn't fit through the door way (even with the mirrors folded). If you have a larger vehicle, don't count on using the garage. We saw another guest in a different unit able to park a small SUV but had to leave the garage door open. We visited in the off-season, so we found parking right near Belmont park easily (3-5 minute walk). Just pay attention to the signs, one side of the street is street sweeping Monday / Thursday and the other side is Tuesday / Friday.
There is some major construction going on next door building a new multi-unit building. They were respectful and did not seem to start construction until 7am or so, as well they were wrapping it up around dinner time. But if you're planning to sleep during the day, you may find some of the noises loud.
Belmont Park was surprisingly not a big deal for noise. We stayed during the off-season, but the rides and music wrapped up around 11pm - even on weekends. You would think the Belmont Park noise is a problem but it really was not at all. With the windows closed you could hear very little. What was annoying was the motorcycles / loud cars at the intersection outside. These noises were high pitched and surprisingly more noticeable than Belmont Park.
Luigi's across the street had good food and also had daily specials, but the other food options around were a little lacking. However, there are many great food options within a ten minute drive north and south. Taco Surf was a great taco joint and was a short drive away.
The location is great for someone who wants to spend time at the beach, it's literally across the street. But if you are someone who is looking to walk around to explore the neighbourhood, eat at local joints and enjoy a variety of amenities, then you may want to stay a little further north towards Pacific Beach. This area is much more residential.
