We loved our October stay at the 2nd Floor Surf Rider Condo in Mission Beach. The location can’t be beat - right on the beach in the middle of Mission Beach. All of the amenities and finishes were in great shape. The kitchen was very well equipped, though compact.We had our own outdoor space on the second floor patio to watch the surfers, waves, whales, and dolphins, and great people watching with the boardwalk right in front of the condo. There is also a hot tub on the first floor patio where you can take in the views while relaxing in style. The living room features a huge picture window that lines up with another huge picture window in the bedroom so you can watch the ocean gradually light up in the morning with the sunrise and coffee in bed. The weather wasn’t great for swimming, but we rented bikes from Stay Classy Bikes in downtown and had a great time biking the boardwalk as well as circling Mission bay. It was a great way to check out various bars and restaurants without ever having to get in the car. Stay Classy bikes delivered and picked up really nice comfort bikes at a great price and directly to the condo; don’t waste your money on rusty clunkers at high prices from the local Mission beach bike shops.The only real negative was the ‘European style’ lock on the door. It took a lot of messing around to get it to lock each time we went out, and it seemed to operate a little differently each time. By the end of the fourth day we had nearly mastered it.
