We spent five nights in Mission Beach and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The weather was lovely and we were able to get out and enjoy everything the community has to offer. The vibe of the neighborhood is great; surfers walking to the waves in their bare feet in the morning, lots of folks walking and biking, everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Very heavily populated area but did not feel that busy, may be busier in the summer months. Just a few steps to the quiet bay side and 5 minute walk to the ocean. Felt safe in the area. Used cheap rentals and many of our hosts recommendations and really appreciated the information. We traveled without a vehicle and was convenient to walk, bike or quick uber anywhere. Had tea every morning on the rooftop deck. Bed on the firm side but very comfortable. Lots of thoughtful touches. Unit was a little smaller than I expected but enough room for an adult and two teens to be comfy. We would happily stay in one of Janet and Scott's rentals again as everything was as described.
