Literally on the beach. I ended up being moved to a different property because:
1) Several atmospheric rivers were punishing California. This location is great for warm beachy weather, but not for wind, cold and driving rain. Water and wind sprayed in through the sliding windows/doors and the tile floor got wet. I'm a senior and was afraid of slipping;
2) While a lovely place for beach, walkway, people watching, listening to waves 24 hours, not a comfortable place to hang out for days on end in awful weather. No comfortable couch (more of a daybed) and very old chairs with worn out cushions.
3) Admittedly, it was an overly ambitious rental for a lone senior woman considering that I'd need to go upstairs to sleep, dress and shower, plus I'd have to climb 3 bare wooden steps to get in and out of a highly elevated bed.
4) Fortunately, the agents moved me into a much more comfortable second floor flat farther down Mission Beach, away from the action and bustle of Pacific Beach, a homier environment where I could cuddle up as the rain, wind and cold buffeted California in back to back storms. I am grateful they allowed me to stay for the remainder of my 5 week vacation in this apartment which was more suitable to a "not young" person.
