We experienced a few issues with our rental experience. First and most importantly, the parking spot allotted to our rental was situated in such a way that it was impossible to use. I read that they recommended only a compact car so I changed my rental car from an SUV to a compact car. But, even with two people at each fender providing guidance, there was no way to fit my compact car into the parking space. This definitely took away from the relaxation of our vacation because I was constantly in search of a parking space on the public streets, trying to maneuver around street sweeping parking restrictions, having to park literally a mile up the road, etc. I even had to set my alarm clock (on vacation!) to be sure to move my car before 8am to avoid street sweeping. Realistically, the parking space would only have been useful for a motorcycle. Meanwhile, it appeared there were two unused garages in the same building that I wasn't allowed to use.
Secondly, the home had mice!
Thirdly, upon rising on my first morning, I discovered that the coffee pot had a large hole in it and was cracked and was completely unusable. That was annoying enough but it also made me wonder about the cleanliness of the entire place, since someone obviously didn't bother to clean the coffee pot because it would have been impossible not to have discovered the pot had a large hole in it and was cracked. Thankfully, the unit also had a Keurig machine so all was not lost as far as morning coffee went. Again, it was more the fact that no one bothered to attempt to clean the coffee pot that made me wonder how clean the rest of the place was.
So, between the parking situation, the mice, and the broken coffee pot and questions of cleanliness, I found myself feeling like I had very much overpaid for my rental. Definitely recommend thinking twice. On the other hand, the only fatal issue was the parking spot. If I wasn't bringing a car, I would consider renting this again. Last thing: if you are noise sensitive, this section of Mission Beach is directly in the take off path of the airport. It wasn't a huge issue for me but I could see someone being annoyed by it.
