Lovely South Mission Beach 2 Bedroom 2 Bath
We were a group of 3 and just wanted to go somewhere cool. This was a perfect spot a few houses off the ocean. This time of year, Mission Beach was pretty unbusy during the week. The TV and wi-fi worked great (one couch potato in our group) and we enjoyed riding our bikes all over. There were fans in each room and we used them if we were home in the afternoon. And I loved that hooks were everywhere! Dave was a very responsive host. We thoroughly enjoyed our (way too short) stay.

Perfect Location
My family and I loved staying at this property. It was cozy and had almost everything we needed. I was thrilled to see that they had plenty of towels, and annoyed later to find out the teens were using a new towel with every shower (sorry about like every towel being used David). Host was responsive, and everything worked the way it should. The only 2 things we felt would be incredibly helpful to have supplied to make it a perfect stay were a laundry basket and games/cards. With the washer/dryer being in the garage that you have to go outside to access, a laundry basket would make it so much easier. And games-I think there was one maybe. We don’t like to watch tv on vacations if we can help it, but without games, we ended up with it on once or twice. But the garage full of allllllll the beach gear was so so so so nice to have. To address the concerns about no bathroom fan/needing a deep clean. It’s a beach house, not a beach palace. I wouldn’t suggest this house for a fussy person. But if you want to go enjoy Mission for a while, it’s a great little house, but is far more spacious than pics reflect. Bonus:the master pillows were seriously amazing. I forgot to look at the brand but gosh I loved them. And the bed didn’t make my back hurt at all. I have 3 mattress toppers and an adjustable base at home, so, I’m particular, haha. It was awesome. Thanks for a great stay, hoping to come back again in the future.

Neice Beachfront Property
The location was great and the property was in very good shape. The only difficulty we experienced was it is a two level home and the renters above us were a little too loud early in the morning and the floor was not very sound proof. I would recommend this place if you were going with another family you know where you can rent the entire home to hangout together.

Great location!
Great location on the quiet end of Mission Beach-- 65 steps and you're on the beach. Good communication from the owner-- we had an issue with the garbage disposal and it was fixed within 24 hours. The house was roomy and the patio was beautiful, sun all day long. Some things could use upgrades/ updates: the pillows were old and lumpy, the bedding was low quality polyester and not comfortable. Overall, a 5-star stay and we would not hesitate to book again.

What a great location. Home had everything we could need for a fun week at the beach. Bed was comfortable, teens enjoyed having their own bathroom. 2nd bathroom is a real plus! Kitchen had most everything you could need, many things had been recently replaced. The patio is so peaceful and you can hear the waves while having your coffee. This is a down stairs unit but the folks above us tried really hard to be quite, and it was appreciated! At this price point I was more than pleased with our stay and would stay again.

Great location but the property needs serious upgrading. Bathrooms especially. I know it’s tough to own a place at the beach but many things were subpar considering what we paid. Invest in some decent dishes which would cost next to nothing at IKEA or homegoods. Towels were new and nice. Sheets and living room rug were really bad. And finally, no AC and the fans did not work. Bad. Ring your own fans.

Beach and bay, either way is great!
Great location and house, fit our family of 6 plus a baby comfortably! Minivan fit very snugly in the garage, we backed in - larger than a minivan may not fit, but glad to have a parking space available since street parking is very limited and a block away, but it is like that throughout Mission Beach. Dave the host was great. You can see the ocean standing on the front porch, and the bay is just 3 blocks east. 3 restaurants and other refreshments just a few blocks north. Only drawback is noise from people walking around in upstairs unit, but we would stay again!
