For years, we have gone to Mission Beach for our daughter's school breaks. We stayed in one of the early cottages, 1940s through-and-through, all the charm, history and character of those decades up to today. When the owner passed and it was sold to a home flipper, we lost a piece of our story as well. After much searching, we came across The Happy Little Cottage and just returned from our first stay there. Big smiles as soon as we walked through the door! It was exactly what we were hoping for! We met the host, J-Me and she is immediately caring, informative and welcoming. Very much enjoyed our conversations. The cottage itself provided all we needed...every kitchen item you might need (except a dishwasher, so you have to do it the way Grandma did it, which was fine). The garage is full of fun things for a day at the beach, a swim or a ride down the Boardwalk. Our room and bed were comfy. There's one bathroom so that is an adjustment but it wasn't unexpected either. We went in totally aware of the pros and cons of one of these vintage cottages and we welcome them all. Thank you, J-Me and Clark for allowing us to stay in this lovely place. We plan to come to back!
