Carl's place is an absolute gem in the heart of Mission Beach, in close proximity to everything one could possibly want/need, including dining, groceries, bike rentals, and services. The space was perfect for me and my daughter, with not only the amenities, but also extras like beach towels, beach chairs, and surf boards. The deck fronting the pathway to the beach was lovely, and we enjoyed afternoons lounging in the sun when we wanted to get away from the commotion of the boardwalk. Carl was extremely helpful and responsive, especially when a circuit breaker tripped, and he came over in the driving rain within 20 minutes to fix it. We would stay here again in a heartbeat if/when we find ourselves in the area again! Thanks, Carl!!
