South Mission Beach is wonderful! This place absolutely met my expectations. I read a lot of reviews before choosing where to stay with my family of 4. The upstairs space was so awesome for the kids. While we relaxed in our living room downstairs, they relaxed in theirs, upstairs. They loved waving to us from “their” balcony. We all enjoyed the patio regularly. The garage was perfect for our beach chairs, bikes, coolers, etc. We fit all of that, along with the car. Kitchen was wonderful & well equipped. I didn’t love being right on the main drag for traffic, but I very quickly got over it when we walked to everything we needed for many days. We toggled between the bay and the ocean our entire stay. I didn’t once need my car. Not for ice, not for food, not for Belmont Park or ocean waves or the peaceful bay. All is within walking distance. The host is right across the street if you need anything. He was responsive, helpful and arrived immediately when I asked about clarifying the entrance. We knew he was a stones throw away if we had a question. Bring some earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, we could hear the neighbors upstairs and the toilets flushing. We had a wonderful stay!
