I stayed here with my husband and daughter. To say that we were disappointed in this property is an understatement. This property is a health hazard.
First: The carpet in the loft is rotten and moldy. There must have been a leak in the roof at one point, and the carpet was never replaced. At one place, right where I would step out of the bed, the carpet had rotted through and was dark and stained.
Second: It was advertised as sleeping four guests. However, the pull-out couch our daughter was supposed to sleep on was broken and wouldn't open. We called the property manager, who tried to help us open the bed, but to no avail. She was helpful in that she supplied an inflatable mattress the next day. In the meantime, we didn't want to put our daughter on the disgusting carpet, so she stayed in bed with us. We also discovered that there weren't any sheets for the couch bed or mattress, just a couple of old comforters. It felt unsanitary. We were offered a modest refund because of the broken couch bed.
Third: Throughout the house, there were multiple light switches that seemed to have no effect on light or an overhead fan. There was no functioning fan in the bathroom. There were numerous bare wires poking out of wall throughout the apartment and and a frayed and overloaded power strip behind the entertainment center. There were 5 remotes to work the TV/Stereo system but no instructions.
Fourth: The furniture on the balcony was rotted and coming apart. A curtain rod and bathroom towel rod came straight out of the wall. The 3 boogie boards that were left were all broken.
Fifth: The property owner requires guests to pay for additional insurance to stay at this property, but there was already so much damage.
Lastly, the location is noisy. Two bars directly across Mission Boulevard ensured music and loud outdoor seating until 2 AM.
Directly below this 2nd floor property is property is a coffee shop (We loved the coffee and the service) that opens at 6AM with their espresso machine cranking out shots.
Mission Beach itself is beautiful, and this location has a lot of potential, but the photos on the ad are misleading given the condition of the property. It was not the relaxing get-away we were expecting.
