ABOUT THE APARTMENT:
Located on the boardwalk upstairs of the building, the Hamel's Castle is an oceanfront luxurious unit. It has a spacious 440 sq ft furnished terrace and breathtaking views. The location by itself is priceless. The apartment is right on the boardwalk and a couple steps away from the famous Belmont Park. There are retailers downstairs and many shops around, bars, restaurants, pizzerias, etc. Starbucks is on the corner. Downtown San Diego is easy to reach from here by car (15 minutes) and so are most of San Diego's attractions such as Sea World (5 minutes), Legoland (30 minutes) and the San Diego Zoo (20 minutes) on light traffic day.

This comfortable 1,950 sq ft luxurious apartment offers everything you need right on the beach. You will enjoy the nicest sunset or just the beach atmosphere in the beautiful Mission Beach in San Diego. The apartment features a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, slab granite counters, pantry room and designer finishes throughout. The living room area opens up to a spacious private balcony on the 1st floor that offers lots of seating, gas BBQ, and the beautiful ocean view. Washer and dryer in-unit.

Sleeping arrangements include one king bed and two queen beds plus a futon sofa in the living room. This apartment will accommodate up to 8 people - considering that 2 people will sleep in the living room on the futon (kids preferably). No private parties with more than maximum occupancy are allowed in the unit. Maximum capacity is not to be exceeded.

Parking:
One car garage detached but inside of the castle.

We are located inside the Hamels castle at the first floor. There are 20-25 steps on the stairs No elevator. No handicapped access. Sorry, this is an old building.

Here are some details about Mission Beach and surrounding areas to help you with your decision to stay in Mission Beach:

Mission-Beach is a San Diego favorite among locals and visitors alike. It lies between Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean and has nearly two miles of beautiful white sandy beach. The area is filled with pastel-colored houses, condos, old style cottages, beach apartments and hotels. The colorful Boardwalk at Mission Beach runs for three miles ending north of Pacific Beach and is always filled with bicyclists, runners, skateboarders and rollerblades, and has designated lanes for walking. You can engage in people-watching and sunbathing on Mission Beach, or the more strenuous activities of swimming, surfing, body boarding, and kayaking. The southern part of Mission Beach is known for its' beach volleyball. To the east lies Mission Bay, which contains two islands with many coves and inlets, and has a large marina for pleasure boaters, and facilities for picnics, camping and fishing. One special point of interest at Mission Beach is Belmont Park, once the site of an amusement park that now is home to shops and restaurants, and a completely restored roller coaster. This 73-foot wooden roller coaster called the 'Big Dipper' was built in 1925, closed in 1976 and reopened in 1990. Everything is convenient for visitors to Mission Beach; just two blocks east are coffeehouses, fast food, taco shops, ethnic food or fine dining. Bicycles are available for rent on the Boardwalk right below the unit, located inside a Mission Beach historical landmark: The Hamels Castle!
Note: Mission Beach is also known as the place for young groups; if you are noise sensitive you probably should research more before making a commitment to stay in this area. We are in the middle of the action. I am not kidding!

Surrounding areas: Mission Bay, California (0.6 mi), Pacific Beach, California (1.3 mi), Bay Park, California (2.7 mi), Ocean Beach, California (2.7 mi), La Jolla, California (4.4 mi), San Diego, California (6.1 mi), Point Loma, California (6.8 mi)

All about the balcony
The balcony and view of the home is completely worth it. The home is the perfect location for a group looking to enjoy the beach and a fun time hanging out on the balcony.
