Made up of two separate units in the same house – each with its own open-plan living room and kitchen and a private entrance – this coastal home is ideal for two families planning a trip together but looking to retain some privacy during their stay. There are four separate outdoor areas – the ground-floor patio is perfect for an outdoor cooking session on the barbecue, while the rooftop terrace is ideal to soak in the sunshine or to host the whole group for drinks as the sun goes down. Best of all, both families can hit the beach together as it's just steps away from the home, or walk to Mission Beach's great restaurants and cafes, as everything's within walking distance. To make your stay even more seamless, make the most of your hosts' five-star concierge service and ask them to arrange all your restaurant reservations, so all you have to do is come ready to unwind and enjoy the California sun.
