We had a really great time at Linda's place, we took our kids ages 7 and 12 and had no issues. Access to the beach, and bay, was awesome, and Linda has everything you need. If there is something you want to rent, there are numerous places within a 5 minute walk and prices are very reasonable. We rented wet-suits for a cold morning, and a paddle board for day on the bay side, you can also rent skim boards surf boards bikes and any other beach stuff you can think of. Belmont park and the Wavehouse are a mile walk down the boardwalk and worth checking out. We would highly recommend this unit. The only drawback to Mission Beach in general is parking, but it's manageable, we made it 7 days with no tickets, but you have to be diligent.
