We are a family of 5 that enjoyed a week long stay in the cottage. The beach is steps away and if you cross the street there is access to the bay. Miles was easy to contact from the booking and during our stay. The cottage is in a great location for walking to restaurants, laundry, Belmont Park but the bonus was how close we were to the beach. There is a cute courtyard with table & chairs and a BBQ grill. If you are planning a trip to Mission Beach I would def recommend contacting Miles.
