The staff were helpful and the property partners with Cheap Rentals which provides limited beach rentals and luggage storage which were great additions. However, the area is busy and for 2/3 days of our stay there was construction/drilling.

The Boardwalk hotel was all we could ever want for a truly relaxing vacation. One block to the bay in a direction and one block to the ocean the other. The access to free equipment including chairs, SUP’s, bikes, and boogie boards was awesome and provided great fun. I highly recommend this unique, funky, and fun hotel. One of a kind!

The location is exactly 1 (very small) block from the beach and bay each way and the included beach gear and bike rentals were the icing on the cake. It's right in the middle of some smaller, cute restaurants/bars, stores, boutiques and markets. We had such a great time, my 15 daughter (hard to impress) fell in love and keeps asking when we'll be going back. Thanks for the experience and memories!

Perfect location but if you’re looking for soundproof room, this is not it but very clean and neat and pretty. Ear plugs wont be enough if you’re a light sleeper. There was a party across the street so maybe when theres no party, its ok :)

This place exceeded our expectations! It was the perfect location, walkable to everything you want to see in mission Beach. The bay on one side, the ocean on the other side is the best of both worlds. It's done up like a cute little surfer bungalow with all of the amenities you would need and more! I would highly recommend this adorable boutique hotel to anyone and we will definitely come back again!

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return! The location was excellent—close to everything we wanted to do, which made getting around so easy. The management team was outstanding. They were very responsive, attentive, and quick to help with anything we needed throughout our stay. We did experience a minor maintenance issue, but it was handled promptly and professionally, which we really appreciated. Another great perk was the rental options available. Being able to conveniently rent anything we needed made our vacation even more enjoyable and stress-free. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend staying at the Boardwalk Hotel!

Greeted by very helpful and friendly staff. Loved the free access to bikes, paddle boards, surf boards and other beach equip. Location was another plus, 1/2 block to bay and 1.5 blocks, or less to beach. Sailing and other water sport rentals, 1/2 block away. Definitely coming back.
