The location is exceptional as it is right in the heart of Mission Beach. It is so close you do not even need shoes to go to the beach. Summer can get a little crazy in this neighborhood but from what we saw York Court was one of the quieter streets as there are many full time residents close to Steve's place. The cottage is old but for the most part it was quite nice. We thoroughly enjoyed the outside space. Keypad locks were great as we did not need to carry keys.
