Salem Surf Sanctuary in MB was a nice 4 night stay for my son and I. But it didn't quite live up to expectations. The home is fundamentally as pictured on the listing but it is more dated and dark than the pictures would lead you to believe. An issue was the lack of comfort from the two couches. They are a bit beat up and are not very comfortable to sit on, and I don't recommend them for sleeping. My 15 y.o. did not sleep well on them. Larry also sent a long list of house rules after the reservation was confirmed. There was nothing problematic for me about the rules but why not post them up front on the listing so that there are no surprises?

On the positive side, the location within Mission Beach was great, extremely close to the beach (~20 seconds walk), and the hot tub was much enjoyed. The TV/stereo were nice. The WiFi seemed to work well except for the Apple TV was not always reliable for streaming.
