This is definitely not a lovely duplex. Please update your property description! It is a shame the property owners have not taken a closer look at their investment. This unit (I can only speak for the lower unit because that is where I stayed) is in need of desperate repairs. The kitchen area is small. The refrigerator is for a studio unit not a two bedroom unit, especially if you plan to stay for a couple of weeks. The cupboards don't shut, and the dishwasher will not open all of the way unless you push the dishwasher door against the stove and push it down. This is your only choice if you want to do dishes. It should not be opened by force! Terrible, especially when you are a very conscientious person and want to take care of things. The shower ceiling leaked and it was gross. What an experience! It is very obvious the ceiling leaked before and was repaired, but obviously not repaired well or there is an issue that needs to be permanently taken care of. The ceiling was repaired during out stay, but poorly handled and left for the next tenants to deal with. Not cool! Oh yes, please replace the cheap plastic/vinyl shower curtain. It was dirty and stunk like mildew. The screen door to the front always jams. The Property Management Team fixed it once, but we ended up greasing it several times so it wouldn't stick. Otherwise, you are afraid it's going to break if pulled too hard. There is a washer and dryer with the unit and part of the rental package. However, it is shared with the upper unit. That isn't too bad when you work together to share the machines. What is totally unacceptable is when the upper unit tenants check out, and tenants from another unit managed by the same property management team utilize the machines and throw wash in and out of the washer and dryer when you have your own clothes already being cleaned. It's unsanitary and during these times, in my opinion totally unacceptable. If this is how they handle sanitizing the towels, sheets, blankets prior to check-in you are not really getting clean and sanitized linens. In closing, this unit will not be rented by my family again. We have stayed at Mission Beach for years and haven't had an experience quite like this before. Please choose wisely. There are many other Mission Beach properties that are well taken care of and make you feel at home. A vacation get-away should be exactly that. A time for relaxation and no worries. Good Luck!
