Catherine is fantastic. She communicates and goes out of her way to help make the visit top notch. Truth be told, you need to be OK with a small, "rustic" condo. This is not a 5-star hotel or class A apartment... But you are 3 seconds from the surf. And someone forgot to tell Catherine that the place wasn't the Ritz, cause she seriously goes out of her way to stock the condo with all kinds of necessities and a whole bunch of extras. The place is clean. The bed is comfortable. There is a portable AC that was sufficient for our stay (I don't know what it would be like in 90 degree weather). She provides silly extras like ear plugs (we didn't need them but I bet someone complained about noise so she acted on it) and extra iPhone cables. Snacks, cold water in the fridge, misc supplies in the pantry....
If you are looking for a casual beach outing, this is a good option -- but I want you to be prepared and not surprised: it is "rustic" and small (comfortable for two, but will be tough for four guests); it is located at the northern end of Mission Beach (which may not be obvious when booking), so it is a little more busy than the southern end and not quite as close to some things that we expected; and in all seriousness.... DO NOT KEEP THE RENTAL CAR. Other reviews discuss how much of a challenge it is park. Expect worse. If you have a car, expect to be tempted to cheat by parking in an unauthorized spot. Seriously, you will enjoy your stay a whole lot more if you just Uber and pay for those scooters.
