The pics don't do his house justice! We were pleasantly surprised when we got to the rental and continued to remark the whole weekend about what a great job Ian did decorating the home. Definitely looks like a professional handled the decorating.
Everything was basically brand new and spotless. The house is bigger than it looks in pics or from front of house. Full separate living room with door that closes, which would be great to stick kids or an air mattress. Air mattress was included but we didn't need to use it. Back yard is beautiful and big. We spent a full day just lounging in the yard on the fluffy beautiful grass.
Ian was super responsive and friendly. The location is great and easy to navigate to the beaches and the bay. We walked down to the bay from the house and the water was peaceful and warm!
It was a $5 uber to get to the bar/restaurant scene in mission beach. You can totally walk it, less than mile, but we were being lazy. So many restaurants to choose from. Also the house had beach towels and beach chairs and frizbees. Everything you need for an amazing weekend. Wish we could have stayed longer.
