The location of this home couldn’t be better. It is situated on the bay side of Mission Beach and is literally steps to the sand. The time of year when we stayed, Seaworld had nightly fireworks which we were able to watch off of two the decks. The sunrise is just beautiful and we were able to enjoy it each morning.
Half a block around the corner are several beach rentals although the host provides chairs, umbrella, sand toys, a paddle board and kayak with paddles, and more. Multiple eateries and shops are within short walking distance.
This rental is actually on the second and third story of the duplex. There are sets of stairs to enter the unit and sets of stairs to access the garage and second floor bedrooms (fyi for those with mobility concerns). There are three bedrooms, two of the bedrooms have a queen size bed and the primary bedroom has a king size bed. There are three full bathrooms. A smaller deck is located just off of the kitchen and living room facing the water. This deck has a charcoal BBQ. A larger deck is located on the third floor off of one of the bedrooms facing the water. A small third deck is located just outside the primary bedroom.
The kitchen has just about everything you need including pans, pots, silverware etc. Appliances include a microwave, toaster, drip coffeemaker, stove/oven, dishwasher and refrigerator/freezer. Spices available were salt, pepper, and dash. If you plan on preparing meals, bring everything you need food and condiment/spice wise. There is a washer dryer combo on the second floor. At the time we stayed, laundry soap pods were provided.
The unit does not have air conditioning, which is not really necessary at the beach. There are ceiling fans or portable fans throughout and cracking the windows kept the place cool. We are here in the Summertime but in Winter there is central heat and a fireplace in the livingroom.
This unit has a narrow single car garage attached to the unit just off of a single lane, one way alley. You must pull into the garage as straight as possible to avoid bumping the side walls. Smaller vehicles will be able to negotiate this much easier than larger ones. We have a Honda Pilot and we were able to park in the garage when we pulled the side mirrors in.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay in the home on the bay. We highly recommend you book this spot for a relaxing vacation.
