We had a great stay at Al's place, the description was accurate and included even more beach gear: toys, towels, chairs, umbrellas than expected. This rental is a prime beach front location with an amazing patio. Given the location, on the boardwalk in Mission Beach, it does have a high turn over of guests and you can tell in ways I can't quite put my finger on, that being said I think the rates are really very fair. I'm sure you could pay thousands more per week for newer furniture/linens etc. but at the end of the day it's all about the beach and location and this place really hits the mark. Only down side is that it is a bit of a hike to the water, about a 7 minute walk, houses further north on the board walk have closer walk to the water (like 2 or 3 minutes).
