Our family spent July 1st thru 10th at this awesome beach house. We rented in Mission Beach last year (further south by lifeguard tower 16) and found this location to be much better (near lifeguard tower 19). Things get a little sketchy as you go south towards tower 16 and 15 so we were much happier with this location.
Each bedroom is on its own level with its own individual bathroom WITH shower. This was a huge benefit for our family!
There were a couple of extra mattresses available to further customize sleeping arrangements which was really nice.
There was parking included to accommodate the two vehicles we brought (Toyota Sienna MiniVan and Toyota 4Runner).
However with regards to the garage, one challenge we had was finding a spot for our bikes (no room left in the garage once a vehicle is parked in there). We ended up storing the bikes on the patio area in the corner (secured to the metal fence with a bike lock). Unfortunately somebody came by on our 5th day in the middle of the night, cut the lock and stole our bikes.
If you rent this property I would discourage you from bringing bikes.
Other issue with the garage was the extreme heat and humidity from the washer and dryer. Not sure if there was a ventilation issue with the dryer or it was just because it was such a small space…just pretend your having a spa day at the sauna if you have to do any laundry.
Great food within a 1-2 minute walk (Olive Cafe, ice cream at The Sweet Pursuit of Happiness, Mexican Food, Pizza and Miss B’s Coconut Club…definitely try a coconut margarita!).
Overall a very clean and charming beach house with easy access to the beach, the bay, restaurants and also a small convenience/liquor store…all of these things within a 5 minute walk.
