Mission Beach Villas

"Our room was perfect for the cost. You couldn’t ask for a better location in the Mission Beach area. No view from the room but a close walk to everything. Amenities were abundant though simple. Room was clean and attention from the hosts was great."

"BEWARE!!! Bayfront Beach Condo is located right in front of a SEWAGE PUMP STATION which they do not disclose in their listing. You may be captivated by the convenience of being right on the sand but you are actually staring right at a sewage pump station located right next to the patio. So while you're grilling food on the patio, you're actually inhaling human waste fumes at the same time. So pls be careful before renting! We booked the Bayfront Condo in Mission Beach for 2 weeks. The first night, we immediately noticed a rancid, sour stench coming from the utility station located right in front of the bayfront patio. We immediately messaged the owner and they told us it was just a "water pump station" and the smell is from rotting kelp. However, 2 nights go by and I'm experiencing congestion (I have severe asthma and also currently pregnant) without much thought to it. Then one evening, we notice a team from the city public utility working on pump station. My husband approaches them and asks what exactly the pump station is for, they inform us that it's to pump HUMAN WASTE/SEWAGE from the area to a processing facility nearby. So, the rancid and sour smell was not from rotting kelp, but from actual toxic human waste fumes! We decided not to stay the entire 2 weeks and booked a different place as soon as we could. We informed the owners and they were extremely unbending and unwilling to accommodate us for any of the inconveniences this caused us. If you are looking for owners who really care and are willing to accommodate you, look elsewhere. We are contemplating pursuing legal action due to the "lack of health risk disclosure in advertisement / listing". If we knew we would be staying a few feet away from a sewage pumping station, we would never in a million years have booked that unit. Additionally, here are a few things that were not in functioning order upon our arrival: BBQ grill, oven, exhaust fan, patio screen door. Here is the exhaustive list that we wrote the owners in detail: 1) BBQ grill has very low gas flow on max setting. Left-side burners have little to no flame. Right-side burners also very low for max setting. 2) Screen door is extremely hard to open. It does not slide open seamlessly and requires a lot of effort. We've used the front door multiple times just to go out onto patio 3) Oven does not work. First night we buy sweet potatoes to cook in oven and oven doesn't work! Messaged the owners and they tell us that oven hasn't been working but plan to get a new one at some point. This was not disclosed to us prior to our arrival or check in which is extremely inconvenient for us since we really need an oven to use for 2 weeks. This is a major appliance and should notify your guests of items that are not in working order prior to check in. 4) Exhaust fan above oven isn't connected to an exhaust tube so the smoke from food just lingers inside unit and requires us opening all windows for smoke to clear. It gets very smokey when we cook in here! 5) Our stay here has had a direct effect on my health-respiratory and pregnancy-wise (not to mention undue stress on me and our baby). I wanted to believe what you said when you mentioned it's just a "water pump station" but am so disappointed that it in fact is sewage. This is a serious matter. This sewage pump station is exposing your unknowing guests to inhalation of hazardous gases from human waste. Folks with serious respiratory issues can be seriously compromised and your company can be at serious risk as well. We believe this should have been clearly disclosed on the booking website. We suggest googling the effects of breathing in sewage gases. Please be aware of what you are entering into before renting this unit!!"

"I visited in October 2023. The villa was in a great location and the included bikes and boogie boards added to our fun! A garage was included with our unit which made parking easy. Overall I had a great time and would consider staying again if I am in the area."

"We had an amazing experience at the air bnb that Janet provided us. House was brand new, everything was well stuffed, kitchen was fully stocked which made cooking easy. Loved the hot tub, huge TV in the living room. For our next trip, we will definitely like to be your guests. We also recommend you to our friends."

"I highly recommend staying at a Mission Beach Villa location. I stayed at Travelers Paradise. The location was fabulous, one block from the bay and one block from the boardwalk. It had all the amenities I needed and more i.e., beach towels and chairs, bikes, k cups and creamers, etc. I travel for work frequently and my stay felt very organized. I was messaged with everything I needed, including suggestions on places to check out. The property owners were very detailed and friendly. And while I didn’t need to contact them at all because of the smooth stay, it was nice to know they were a call away if I needed anything. Thanks for the hospitality!"
