5 of us decided to stay at Tess' lovely home in Mission Beach and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Tess was great at communicating with us when we had questions about logistical things and she was more than helpful over the phone. She was dealing with personal stress yet still graciously communicated with us. Her house is on the first floor of a 2 story house with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and it's an older house which we personally liked as it gave it charm. We loved the lived in feel since we had our 8 year old son with us and our dog. It also made it feel homey. The house was a very quick walk to the beach side of Mission Beach and the bay side was only 2 short blocks on the other side. You could hear the waves which we loved. The front patio was a good size and we were able to lock our bikes easily and keep them on the patio. The house is on the end of the peninsula which makes it very quiet at night and safe which we valued. The kitchen was well stocked including a Mr. Coffee maker and we brought our own coffee. The only thing that could be fixed are the master bedroom blinds as they don't close tightly and you can see into the room between the slits. Otherwise it was all super easy and comfortable there! We highly recommend it!
