Fabulous full views of the water from the living room. Nice quiet neighborhood but still walkable to Beachcomber and other bars and restaurants. It's also walkable to the ocean boardwalk and the fun that's there. There is a nearby tiny coffee place with delicious coffee. The hot tub is right outside the door and we used it every day. It's nice and hot too, unlike some places that keep it cool for safety.
The only negatives are the thin walls. the neighborhood next door coughed and scared the crap out of me. The neighbors across the alley can be noisy sometimes too. It also may be too far from the center of Mission Beach for some people, but we loved the walk along the ocean. No need for a rental car here. The parking spot came in handy for visitors though.
Our host was extremely well prepared and answered all of our questions before we even asked.
The wifi was excellent, which was important to us as we were telecommuting.
Great place, we plan on returning!
