The location for this couldn't be better; we had never stayed at Mission Beach before and loved exploring that area. It's got great restaurants and coffee shops within a few blocks, and being able to walk or bike around the entire boardwalk on the beach was great. Beach volleyball was right there too. The house was clean and stocked with amenities we needed. To be clear, since I wanted to know but couldn't figure it out before we went, this is not technically beach-front. You can see the beach and ocean from the front door through a gap, but you are located on an alley that is behind the row of houses between you and the beach. However, this might not be a bad thing as beach front can be very noisy. And you walk out the door and down a little aisleway, about 20-30 steps, and you are there. For the price we paid for it, it was worth this and well worth it for the location. And I did like that it was one-story and you didn't have neighbors walking around above you or sharing walls with them.
We had 5 adults staying here and for us it was a tad small, as the bedrooms are on the small side for 2 adults. But for adults with kids it would be just fine. And the two bathrooms were spacious and clean. Also - we honestly weren't there a whole lot as we were out and about.
Check-in was very easy with a combo pad so we could let ourselves in when we wanted. I'd stay there again if I went back with a slightly smaller party. We didn't have a rental car but I can see why they mention the parking - it does look like a small space but seems like it can be navigated if you're good at parking.
Thanks for letting us stay Cheyann! It was a great place.
