We bought the oceanfront property in February of 1998 and
remodeled it in March and April and again in December of 2005. There
are only 2 units in the building. We live downstairs and rent our
penthouse. It is lovely: 2 oceanfront balconies, a private
downstairs oceanfront patio with built-in gas barbecue, 12 foot
ceilings in parts, 4 sky lights, 4 decorative leaded glass windows
(one of humming birds, one of fish and two of ocean scenes), Italian
tile throughout, 3 TVs connected to cable and one VCR, very special
bathrooms (master with both a whirlpool tub and a separate shower
with his and her shower heads), large master bedroom (14 feet by 17
feet), all linens and towels (beach towels too), an in-unit washer
and dryer, a private 2 car garage with in tandem parking for two
cars, a very well-equipped kitchen (microwave, dishwasher, disposal,
an Omega juicer, coffee grinder, food processor, fondue pot etc.),
and (my favorite) a dining area surrounded by nearly 180 degrees of
glass with panoramic views so that it is like being outside inside.
We have a very child friendly environment with covers on all
the unused electric outlets, a high chair, beach toys (pails,
shovels, balls, Frisbees), and children's books (Dr. Seuss) and some
videos.
By the by, the unit is 1300 square feet (this is "large" for
an oceanfront unit), and is 2 bedroom (Cal king size bed in master
and two twins beds in the other bedroom), 2 bath, sleeping 6. We are
environmentally conscious and use no toxic pesticides or harsh
cleaning chemicals.
In case you would like to review our property, we have our
own web site at

The pictures are not quite current because they do not show
the leaded glass windows. Our guests tell me that the unit is much
nicer than the pictures suggest because the pictures do not capture
the spaciousness, light and airy feeling.
The address of our home is 2645/47 Ocean Front Walk and it is
located in South Mission Beach, well south of Belmont Park. North
Mission is a more crowded. South Mission is more spacious and built
about 10 years ago. Year-round residents tend to live here.
