Room Size Reminder

Parking Notes

We have one single car garage spot for this unit. It's on the left when facing the home. Most mid-sized SUVs and smaller should fit but please verify your car measurements to be sure. Our garage door opening is 94" wide and 180" deep. However, it's common for cars to stick out of the garage about 12-18", leaving the garage door open (so it acts more like a carport). Please plan accordingly.

Please be courteous to neighbors and do not park in alleys, in front of neighbors’ homes, or in red zones (even just for 2 minutes!) — you will be subject to fines and towing by the city.

For alternative parking:

Mission Boulevard has street parking available (please double-check signage for street sweeping days).

You can also find free overnight parking just a few blocks away on El Carmel Street, especially near the Rowing Club area.

Shared Amenities

Shared laundry is located on the side of the house. You’re welcome to use it during your stay, just be courteous of others who may also want to access it.

Beach Gear Disclaimer

Guests are welcome to use any beach toys or chairs found on-site, but availability can vary.

Noise & Neighborhood

Please respect quiet hours after 10 PM. This is a peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood, but the homes are close together, so it’s not uncommon to hear neighbors or nearby activity at night (if you are a light sleeper).
