Overall we had a wonderful time at the Modern Sandcastle!

The Pros:
1- Karena is an exceptional host. She is highly responsive and accommodating. She went out of her way to secure a pack n play, high chair and baby gate for us since she knew we would be travelling with a baby. Also, we were greeted with a very nice care package upon arrival packed with goodies for the whole family!
2- Proximity to the beach - this property is steps away from the beach! And there is an outdoor shower on the side of the house which made cleaning up after the beach very easy.
3- Everything in the house is updated and brand new. It's nicely done and in good taste.

The Cons:
1- It can be very loud. There is a lot of street noise from Mission Blvd. On Friday and Saturday nights there was a lot of noise from the neighboring properties late into the night. I imagine that's normal given the house is located in the heart of Mission Beach.
2- The common area is very small, but the bedrooms are a good size.

If you stay here, check out the deli across the street for great sandwiches and the ice cream shop a few blocks south on the east side of Mission.
