Overall, our stay at Jenny's was of good value for the cost. It offers a convenient location on Mission Beach with easy access to both Mission Beach Boardwalk and to the coves. It is also great to find a cost effective rental with parking included. The unit has been recently renovated which helps give it some cute appeal. Both the kitchen and the bathroom have modern finishes. Check in is seamless with the keypad on the door. There are also two comfortable queen beds which is nice to give individuals two separate sleeping spaces.
Jenny and her team are also incredibly responsive via the Airbnb app which is awesome. The day we checked in, there was a pretty bad fishy smell in the unit and within 25 minutes of messaging Jenny and her team, a team member stopped by to drop off a professional grade air freshening spray. Unfortunately, the spray didn't work...and the unit continued to have a fishy smell for the duration of our stay. A note that there was no fishy scent outside, only inside the unit.
A few key things to note before booking:
- The location of the unit is on a main road that goes through to parking on El Carmel Place so it can be a bit loud with people driving and walking by during the day and night.
- The walls are quite thin so you will hear your neighbors.
- While there is a full kitchen, it lacks a choice of utensils, baking pans, aluminum foil, etc. It has a few basic utensils and the basic plates / cups / forks / spoons / knives and a few frying pans but that is it.
- We killed at least 9 flies during our stay and think they continued to come in through the dirty window air conditioning unit...
- There are currently no chairs with backs, only little shower stools to sit on or the two beds.
- The parking spot for this unit is TIGHT. Make sure you drive a small car or small style SUV to make sure you fit.
