My family and I stayed at Happy Nest for the entire month of July, 2016. The trip was a combination of work and play for me and all play for my wife and two kids (10 and 12). I was looking for a place that would provide a good work-environment as well as a well-located (beach, restaurants, etc.), comfortable, fun space for our family and we got it all. We felt like we were really at a home away from home, which I have rarely experienced during my many years of travel around the world.
HappyNest is a newly remodeled, roomy condo that really has it all, including a private rooftop patio, fireplaces (on rooftop too), full kitchen, barbeque, central living area, full size washer and dryer, wireless internet, Netflix, private parking space and they even had boogie boards and chairs for the beach.
Despite the busy surrounding area, Happy Nest is a quiet environment where you feel that you stepped away from lively Pacific Beach atmosphere, but are still you are only a block to all of the activity on Garnett and three blocks from the beach and Crystal Pier. Thus it fits both a semi-reclusive lifestyle (we spent entire days lounging around the townhouse) and a full-on touristy experience (bars, restaurants, bicycling, beach, etc.). The location is very well situated between downtown San Diego and the great towns up the coast with easy access to Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, La Jolla, Del Mar, etc.
Jennifer and Stefano were great hosts and helped make the entire experience wonderful and full of life-long memories. Thank you!
