Good location

Being able to walk down to a beach was a huge plus for us, to keep the kids entertained. And the fact it's a park on sail bay rather than the over-crowded mission beach, can be a huge plus.

Wonderful stay

The apartment has everything you need for a short stay. The information you receive will say you need to purchase some necessities, but we stayed 3 nights and found there to be everything we needed. The towels were still a bit wet from laundry, and they had been folded and put in the closet that way.

Perfectly located beach apartment

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment has a great layout. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and even had coffee. The living room couch was comfy to lounge on. We loved going on the roof patio for sunsets and stargazing. Slept well on the beds.

We had such a great stay at Adrienne's place. The apartment is easy to find, super clean and the rooftop deck was one of our favorite parts. It's less than a 5 minute walk to the bay and a 3 minute drive to Mission Beach (you could definitely walk or ride a bike if you wanted to). There is no ac but, there are multiple fans provided so between that and having the windows open, it was super comfortable. We would 100% stay here again.

We stayed at this condo for the end of our trip after six days at mission beach south. Building looks like living in the projects. Indoors has been nicely updated and amenities seemed appropriate. Communication with host was excellent. Please disclose to your potential clients this until doesn’t have AC. 80 degrees with high humidity made this miserable at night with a four month old. Definitely would not stay here again unless they provide AC for this space. While we loved the inside of the place and the space, not a place for a family with a baby.

Nice and comfy 2 bedroom apartment

Apartment is modern and update. Lovely decor and well stocked. Beds were nice and comfy. Outside looks a little run down when you first drive up but once you are in the apartment you forget all that. Perfect location. Only a block to the bay. Beach chairs and umbrella were a great perk as well as the washer and dryer. Communication from Adrienne could have been better. Would definitely recommend to others.
