Brian is the perfect host. He is responsive and provided extra touches (coffee/creamer, beach towels/chairs, tourist suggestions, etc.). His cottage is steps from a great section of the beach. His cute place is exactly as described and perfect for a quick trip to Mission Beach. Brian waited at his house for us to arrive so we could secure his parking spot, but we were a bit delayed. We were still able to find street parking pretty easily on his street, which was another huge advantage to his rental. I highly recommend Brian and his beach cottage for your trip!
