Positives first.. The master bed was super comfy, the new gas range is nice, fridge was clean and the towels and shampoo were very nice, chairs for the beach, the umbrella and the grill were perfect. Location is awesome.

We arrived late due to a flight delay. First thing, the fuse for the back two bedrooms blew when we turned on the A/C. We searched and could not find a fuse box so we were without power that evening. The bathroom was GROSS.. not cleaned, hair..not my own.. mold in the shower and shower head that was barley hanging on (which later broke during our stay). When we pulled out the sofa bed an empty vodka bottled rolled out. Not a good start. We contacted our host late (as we were late arriving) and he did not respond till the next morning (which we understood) he offered a refund for the first night and also offered to send the cleaners back. At this point I had already cleaned and since they had supposedly been there before us, I figured they were not very good anyways and honestly it would take days, not just a few hours to get the house clean. Most of the dishes in the cupboards were dirty, chewed gum stuck to the windowsill in the master. There was also a broken wall heater unit that kept falling off the wall, and hitting us has we walked by. Dangerous. I have never written a negative review and have always been pleased with these types of rentals. I'm not a clean freak and realized that we booked "the best value in mission beach" It's just that this property has been massively neglected. The images you see show a bright sparkly apartment and that is a gross misrepresentation. Our host did offer to refund our first evening, but my 200 a night is not what is bothering me, it's the condition of the property. Please know what you are getting yourself into. If you are between the ages of 21-29, don't have kids, like to party and just need a place to crash, this is the place for you! John, a few days of elbow grease and about 500 bucks and this place would be great! Get some decent house cleaners, call an electrician, buy a 2.99 shower curtain, a coat of new paint and most of your problems will be solved. Great location, bad maintenance, nice guy.
