Perfect Place for a Family Vacation

We stayed at the Whalen house for our escape from the Montana snow. The house was perfect for our family of five and we had room to spare. It was less than a minute from the beach and there were plenty of beach chairs, towels, and toys. The roof top patio was a great bonus and a nice way to finish the day. You won't be disappointed if you choose this house for your stay in Mission Beach.

Sibling getaway

We had a wonderful week in Mission Beach and our house made it that much more special! The house was plenty spacious for my family and my sisters family, and there was everything we could have ever needed from a pack n play, beach toys, beach chairs, laundry, etc. My sister agreed that we would definitely come back again!

Perfect Place!

Our family had the best time here! It is conveniently located only a one minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to Belmont Park. All of the necessities were already there which was wonderful! The place is very clean and communication was great with property management. It’s the perfect place to stay for a large family or group!
