The location was better than expected. The home is a short 1 minute walk to the bayside and a 2 minute walk to the Ocean side of Mission Beach. John was very responsive leading up to our trip and during our stay. We enjoyed our morning coffee and eating our meals on the patio and walking to the bay at night to watch the Sea World fireworks. Parking is tight, but we still made it work with two large SUVs. We didn't know there was no a/c, but it actually wasn't too bad despite the heat wave they were experiencing while we were there the last week of July.
