Beachfront 4-bedroom rental on the Mission Beach Boardwalk with amazing views.
The views and location of this rental were fabulous. The only thing between the house and the beach was the boardwalk. The rental was exactly as portrayed in the listing. The owner responded quickly when we texted. I would highly recommend this property.
