We are a blended family. These two identical houses are only 20 feet apart and are literally a two minute walk from the beach. We had 32 people in these homes. EACH home has 2 king bed bedrooms with huge private bathrooms, 2 queen bedrooms, and two bunk bedrooms with 4 and 8 beds. Each home has two fully furnished kitchens, decks, and there are a total of four propane grills and plenty of outdoor seating. Amenities include beach chairs, towels, and toys, and the property has garages for six vehicles. We rented two sprinter vans which we safely parked across from the units within 30 yards. It wasn’t cheap, but you truly get what you pay for. Close driving to SeaWorld and the Zoo, and there is a small amusement park and fun center a 10 minute walk north. Legoland was 40 minutes away in heavy traffic. Great place…great hosts.

Upon arrival, we marveled at the location and its proximity to the shores of Mission Beach – a quick 45 second walk until your toes were in the sand. Additionally, the homes faced famous Belmont Park and included 1st floor patios and 2nd floor balconies that overlooked the grassy fields, theme park rides, and vendors lining the streets with everything you can think of for sale. Once inside each residence, you’ll find an open living area with plenty of flexible seating (couch, love seats, individual luxury chairs) along with a large flat-screen TV equipped with streaming service access via a Roku device for entertainment. Connected to the living area is a dining area along with an attached open kitchen for easy cooking, prepping, and plating meals for guests with enough space for multiple “cooks in the kitchen.” Bedrooms were ready and set to go for each guest; each house included a master bedroom, a single-person guest bedroom, and a multi-guest bedroom with bunk beds to host several sleepers. Each area of the homes were well prepared for new guests to visit – sparkling clean living spaces including floors, countertops, bathrooms, linens and towels – as well as all appliances working as expected, including functioning WiFi, washer and dryers, A/C, and running water at desired temperature levels. As we prepared to leave, we did have an issue with one of the garage doors not opening, but one call to the property manager had this resolved within the hour and caused us no trouble. Parking is scarce if you are expecting a large number of vehicles needing space; a couple members of our group had to find parking in the surrounding area because we had exceeded the number of available spaces for this property. Overall, we were SO impressed by the property, location, and the hosts.
