This is the perfect place to enjoy all that SD has to offer.

This little house was amazing! Fully equipped & well stocked. It was very clean & the beds are comfortable. Located one minute from the beach, walking distance to belmont park & has a parking spot, our family vacation was perfect. We had loads of fun. We will definitely look into staying here again real soon.
