Location was amazing! Very close to both ocean side and bay side as well as lots of local restaurants. The beach chairs and umbrella that were provided were much appreciated. As a heads up, you will need quarters to do laundry: $1.75 for one load of washing and $1.00 for one load of drying. The portable AC unit is in the bedroom so the living room can get a bit warm on a hot day, although there is a ceiling fan in both the bedroom and over the dining area and the portable AC unit cools the bedroom really well. We loved going to the Olive Cafe in Mission Beach (a 2-minute walk from this rental) for their Turtle Lattes, breakfast sandwiches, burritos and pastries. The hosts were very responsive and checked in with us often when we arrived. We really enjoyed our trip and loved the convenience of not having to drive anywhere. Make sure you pack lots of sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes! Everything is within walking distance.
