We really liked Adam's place. He and Stevie Ann were very welcoming and generous.

They let us borrow or use anything at all. They had bikes (a bit tall for us shorties but very cool wheel lights that make up for the sore bum!), beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and they even let us borrow their beginner surf boards! This was awesome as we hadn't planned to try stand up surfing and it enabled us to give it a go. Adam was so helpful in giving us hints and tips, showing us how to do it on the sitting room floor! Adam was also very happy to give us great suggestions for places to eat and was generally happy to help us enjoy our stay.

Their garden is an absolute triumph! They grow so much! And it is so neat and tidy. There's a fire pit and BBQ which I think you're welcome to use though we didn't. There's even a sweet designated work out spot with equipment that you can use!

They keep the inside of their apartment to an equally high standard. It is so clean and tidy! They presented the room so nicely with a good selection of towels (beach towels too), blankets and even some welcome chocolates :) There's good closet space too. The room felt a bit small with our two big suitcases in it too but was fine for the weekend and would be fine for people travelling lighter than us!

For us, even though we had the bikes, it was a little far from the action on Mission Beach and we did find walking down to the beach carrying everything a little difficult. I'm sure stronger people would do better than us - I don't think that's a huge reflection on the place itself. It's probably a 15 min walk to the beach carrying stuff too. The neighbourhood felt very safe even at night.
