Disappointed
Our parking spot was being used. The units cleanliness was below par. Need assistance with parking and tv Vrbo rep was not knowledgeable about this unit. Upon day of checkout maintenance service arrives two hour prior tour check out time.

Great place, great host
Great place with easy walking access to Mission Beach (and parking!) Host is super responsive and knows what amenities to offer to make his place the best for guests. There is a Keurig with coffee, cream and sugar, beach towels, beach chairs and cooler and plenty of regular towels. There are also some spices if you want to cook. And no task list on departure! A great place to stay to enjoy the Mission Beach area with easy access to other parts of San Diego.

Great Spot
This home has a great location. Right between the bay and the ocean with restaurants, cafes, equipment rentals and a small market all within a super short walk. The home itself is cute comfortable and quiet at night. The property manager, Alan, was very responsive and accommodating. We definitely plan to stay there again.
