You could just take a taxi from the airport (7 miles away), get dropped off here and you're at the beach! We have local restaurants, trendy beach bars, excellent coffee spots, and breakfasts cafes all within a few short blocks. Sea World is just 3 miles away.

There is a fantastic surf spot at the beach for beginner to advanced surfers and great for spectators as well. There are affordable surf lessons offered daily on the beach by our friends at Surfari Surf School. What's more, we can point you to all the best surf spots in San Diego County. And we have two world class board shapers who live on our court in case you want to get a new surf board while you are here.

Roomy for a great price!
We needed a place for 2 nights, and this worked out great for us!
1 bedroom for the kids, 1 for us, & a nice-sized separate livingroom providing the space we needed.
A provided parking space was great for our friends that wanted to meet us for a beach day.
We chose this property mainly because of the bedrooms & close proximity to the bay/Beach, but also because it offered 2 beach cruiser bikes. Unfortunately, 1 of the bike's seats had been stolen! The owner sent someone over right away to help, but we still had to rent our own bikes. The owner mentioned that offering the bikes was more of a hassle, & they plan to void that extra perk in the future, but having 2 bikes was really one of my pushes to choosing this property! All the extras on vacation really add up, so I hope they choose to keep this offered in the future.
If not, the bike rental place is just at the end of the court/alley, so it's very convenient.
Another HUGE perk was all of the restaurants, café/bakeries, & juice shops in such close walking distance!! We had delicious breakfast just a couple houses away (Olive Café & Olive Baking Company for the WIN!!!), Juice Wave for a lighter breakfast option or mid day energizer, & Single Fin Grill for some fabulous fish tacos!
But the major plus to this location (in addition to all the above) was the close proximity to the bay (2 houses away, with a park in walking distance for the kids), & the ocean just across the street and steps away!
Would return!
