There aren't enough words to describe how much we loved this home, the location, and all the amenities provided. The location was just perfect for us. Steps to the ocean... we often walked to the water with out bringing towels because we were so close we'd just walk back to the house when we got out! The boardwalk goes for miles along the edge of the ocean - shops, restaurants, Belmont Park amusement park, the pier. Walk, jog, skate, ride bikes - we LOVED this!!!! Just a couple minutes walk to Mission Bay (on the side opposite the ocean).... literally just a few minutes walk and you're there at the bay with it's own boardwalk around the gorgeous bay. Watch sea world fireworks from the edge of the bay just minutes from the house. SO much to do!! A marina right on the bay has rentals of every type of watercraft you could want. Also within minutes of the house is a coffee shop, a bar, a restaurant, a liquor store, a breakfast restaurant, and an ice cream shop all within a couple mins walk. Literally a couple minutes. And besides the location and how PERFECT that is.... there was the darling, adorable, amazing, perfect, beautiful, and SOOOOO cozy home!! Every single detail was just perfect. The quality of the furniture (comfy-est couch ever), sheets & bedding (SOO cozy!!), towels, decorations (seriously looks like a magazine! like a professional decorated!), ....Aaaaah!!!! LOVED it all!!!!! They had room scented sprays, travel size soaps/shampoos/face washes. TONS of towels (including beach towels), blankets and pillows, very cozy and high quality. TV had a hookup for iPod (the old connection, though, you'll need an adaptor if you have a 'lightning' connection like the new iphones), with speakers inside and out. A great air conditioner in the living room. Kitchen is fully stocked, and there is also a lot of food extras/leftovers for use (don't bring salt or pepper or anything unless you check with Linda first...it is probably there!). There is a dishwasher, a clothes washer and dryer (including all the soaps you can use). We did bring and use more paper towels than were there because I like to clean up a lot. The garage has about 9 really nice beach cruiser bikes and bike locks for your use (we used them a LOT!!). Also MANY stand up paddle boards, a surfboard (longboard/foam), boogie boards, skim boards, beach chairs/umbrellas, sand toys, snorkles....gosh so much. Ask before you bring anything because she probably already has it there.
