Step onto the terrace of this smart condo in Pacific Beach, and you'll be able to spot all the landmarks you plan to visit during your trip. From Mission Bay to the glittering downtown skyline and the distant peaks of Mt Soledad, there are fantastic views across all of San Diego. You'll find bikes, boogie boards and surf boards ready for adventures on sandy Pacific beach – the water is just three blocks away. After a busy day exploring, cook some dinner in the slick kitchen as you chat over a glass of wine and make plans for the following day. Put your feet up on the sofa and settle in for a movie night, or head onto the master bedroom's private balcony to enjoy the last of the sunshine in perfect peace.
