Doug's place was a fantastic location and his communication was excellent throughout the stay. He really helped prepare us for the specific nuances of living/getting around Mission Beach. Unfortunately, a previous tenant smoked in the unit and the cleaning process did not remove the smell and it permeated all of our clothes and facemasks. Also, when we turned on the standing fans, it would shoot out black chunks of dirt/dust all over the room. That being said, the sheets/towels were some of the cleanest we have ever had in an Airbnb, and the unit was very clean upon check-in.
The units were pretty bright. So, if you are a light sleeper it will probably wake you early, as the blinds in the unit are broken, which allows in more light. Also, the main light in the kitchen didn't work.
We really enjoyed having beach towels, toys and boogie boards available for use at the beach just steps away.
