The home’s deck has a beautiful view and direct access to the ocean; however, Mission Beach is a very busy area, so your view of the ocean will be obstructed by a continuous stream of runners, bikers, and walkers who use the boardwalk that separates the home’s deck from the beach.
Depending on your daily rate, (ours was more than $400/ night), you may be disappointed with the home’s lack of upgrades and cleanliness. We expected more high-end furnishings and pristine conditions based on our rate. For example, the blinds in the living room are damaged and don’t open fully. For us, the home was not worth the steep price.
The bright side is that the host has considered what a day on the beach requires, and he provides toys, coolers, electric blankets, tents, etc. I also appreciated the coffee, shampoo, extra garbage bags, and access to Abby, the cute puppy that lives next door.
