We had an excellent time, it's hard to find a place that doesn't share common walls with other units, however this cottage is standalone and that makes a big difference to us. The house would be perfect for 4 people or so, my wife and I and our toddler son went and it was nice to be able to cook food in the mornings and save a few bucks. It's a 1 minute walk to the bay side and a 3-4 minute walk to the ocean side, 5 minutes from the theme park, and the parking made life easy. Street parking in mission beach is rough, so if you're looking in the area, find a place like this which has off-street parking included. We easily fit a full size car in the outdoor space, one of the garage stalls is available for parking but you'd certainly need a compact car for that, i tried to fit a Nissan Altima in there and the car was about 2 feet too long. No complaints, just want to provide information if you're looking to fit 2 vehicles at this house. I think you could fit anything up to and including a minivan in the outdoor stall without issue.
The kitchen was well equipped and the living area is large enough to hang out for 6 people easily, and the front patio was perfect for hanging out and talking with friends. We really enjoyed our stay. I took a peek in the garage to see what kind of beach toys were available but we ended up not using any of them since a friend's rental was closer to the ocean and they had a ton of toys as well. I think any kid could find plenty of toys to play with at this house.
I do want to note one thing for sensitive sleepers- There is active construction at this time just north of the unit, across the alley, which began at 7am one morning we were there and 6am the following morning and woke us up, however on the weekend there was no work being done and we were able to sleep in. This is just temporary, as they're building some condos or apartments, so I imagine the loud work will be done in a month or so when the framing/stucco is all done and they move to doing interior work. For reference, our visit was during the first week of November, 2019.
