We loved having coffee every morning from the very large oceanfront patio. There's enough action this South in Mission beach to people watch and be in the mix, yet quiet enough to feel like you're not in a tourist zone, plus it's much easier to find street parking this far down. The location is still an easy bike ride or walk to Belmont Park and beyond. The bathrooms and kitchen were all very nicely remodeled. We were there in August, so the bedrooms were a little warm as they do not get the ocean breeze, but there are fans in all bedrooms to keep the air moving. You spend most of your time on the front patio or living room which has a wall of doors that easily slides all the way open for that indoor/outdoor combo and gets plenty of ocean breeze. The garage is very narrow and could probably fit a small car only. Owners were upstairs, but we had complete privacy and were only there when we requested extra beach chairs which they graciously offered from their garage. The house does come with a few beach chairs and sand toys and beach towels.
