Nice Vacation Home

Great location for a San Diego get away! Easy walking distance to both Mission Beach and Mission Bay, the home is well equipped for vacationing families (we had 2). From towels, to shampoo, to beach chairs & boogie boards, it made packing for this trip super easy. Beach cruisers (4 of them) were also provided for our use -- fabulous for our teenagers as they could take off at a moments notice.
The home was contemporary in style, in newer condition & very comfortable for our use. The great room was really spacious and had plenty of space for our party of eight. Each bedroom had its own TV (which was also great) & there was a computer with internet access available for use as well. The land-line telephone was also available for unlimited local calls (which again, was convenient). The home was clean and the owner was very responsive to my communications prior to our arrival.
While we had been forewarned to keep the garage door closed, we did have a laptop stolen from the house when we had left the front door unlocked (this is not uncommon in a beach community) -- lesson learned for us to lock the doors! Other than that... no incidents or issues.
We did the whole San Diego thing... Sea World, Zoo, Scrips Aquarium, Snorkeling (amazing at La Jolla Cove), Belmont Park (a pier carnival with rides --- Thursday nights, they have $10 off wristband prices!), and even a tour of U.C.S.D for our daughters (sophomore & junior in high school). The location of the house made it easy to access everything. Our two dogs enjoyed their daily walks on the beach &/or bay too (before 9 a.m. & after 6 p.m.).
Overall, it was a great family vacation.
