Excellent spot for a beach vacation. I believe it is about 80 steps to the sand! Great location for beach days or visiting some sights in SD. Great communication with the owners. Easy check-in/out. Great walkable spots for breakfast, lunch, happy hour and dinner. We recommend adding a wine opener and a pizza slicer to the kitchen supply.

Nice location and cute little house

The property was clean and well located. It was a walkable location to mission Beach and restaurants. The house only has 1 small bathroom so it would be harder with 6 adults. We had 3 adults and 3 kids.
