Excellent location with access to the beach. The water is very calm in the bay so it is ideal for families. You'll need to walk 5-7 min to the other side of Mission Beach if you're looking for surfing. Garage parking is extremely convenient. We have a regular sedan and it stuck out slightly past the garage door so we weren't able to close it. Not a huge issue for us but only a compact car will fit in the garage if you need the door closed. Lots of food options nearby - several cafes, coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. Home was clean and well maintained.
