We absolutely loved this rental. Super cute and clean inside. Yes, there are stairs to get to the rental BUT You can see the beach from the balcony. So worth it! The location is perfection for mission beach. You literally walk right up a little path and you are on the boardwalk/beach! Morning time is lovely with two great coffee shops within 5 minute walking distance. Also the fact it has parking for you was great as the area is hard to park. The host was great communicating with us. Thank you Don, we will be back!
