This home needs some serious updating. The skylights leak, windows are broken, the master shower has parts missing and there wasn't enough hot water for four showers. The key was under the doormat, but the doormat was falling apart. There have been repairs to the drywall that were done poorly and the house just seems to be a bit neglected.

Hi.I think the site was down so the host was super fast in responding to my questions about kitchen amenities.A few things:Some of the photos on site do not portray actual furnishings, and list the front walkway as a "terrace" which seems misleading. No photos of actual kitchen which would have been helpful. The dishwasher ran poorly and the bottom basket was off its rails. There is a sunken shower stall with no handrails.All in all, it was great for our group but please update site and put safety rails in bathroom with sunken shower. Also include instructions on master bedroom shower which has lots of bells and whistles.Thank you!

The view was excellent, 5 out of 5. The house was not in the best of condition, 2 out of 5. I had to contact the host to get enough towels for the 11 people and bedding for one of the beds. They were dropped off the next morning.The kitchen was in need of serious improvement. The refrigerator had missing and broken shelves, needed the filter changed and the ice maker didn’t work.The counter tops were cracked and chipped. The dishwasher was missing the top spray arm and the rails for the bottom rack. Even with hand prewash it did a very poor job. We cleaned the nasty filter and ran a hot cycle with vinegar to see if it would help.One of the master beds had a comfortable mattress but the frame was so wobbly it felt like it would collapse at any moment. One of the master showers has a clear glass window inside the shower that is clearly seen from the green space beyond.The only wood provided for the fireplace was 3 sticks of kindling.I was told there was only a charcoal grill so I bought charcoal to find there was a gas grill. If any one uses it be sure to turn the valve off on the tank because the valve on the grill didn’t shut off and we didn’t realize it until we were smelling the propane. That could have been a terrible disaster!There is a water leak in the outdoor closet where the trash is .There is a wild raccoon living in the wall outside the fireplace. We saw him go up into the uncovered vent and could hear him in the wall.More issues but no more space to list.

Great stay! Wonderful location, and beautiful views from the house. Short but steep trail to the beach was perfect. Unfortunately, the house stayed pretty cold, but they did offer space heaters and a fire place which were necessary. The kitchen had everything we possibly needed and more! There are stairs to the kitchen and living room which were challenging for our older guests. Overall clean and would recommend.

Host interaction was excellent. The wifi was problematic and went out multiple times, the house needs some tlc (visible water stains, dirty walls and doors, some mildew smells present on linens and on. bedrooms. The kitchen while very stocked in many items was lacking in some basics (i.e. wine glasses and opener). The decor was charming in most rooms and the view was spectacular.

No heat. On day 3 a HA tech arrived spent whole afternoon in house with attic ladder in hall, front door open and admitted that he couldn't fix it without other tools. Gave us some tips on how to get some heat. Then rain came and roof leaked in living room, hallway and bedroom. Mold around some windows, musty smell, paint peeling under windows.

We had a great stay with plenty of room. When in the hot tub, noticed sand inside. Looks like prior occupant had used the hot tub to wash the sand off from the beach. Tried to use the clean cycle but the sand remained.

The property is beautiful. Very large living room and dining room with views of the ocean and natural sounds of seals barking in the background. The four large bedrooms are located at seperate corners of the home, they are large and provide individual privacy. We had a good time, with a few challenges for our Mom who has limited mobility. Our Mom is waiting for knee surgery and the home has stairs everywhere. The home is on multiple levels and each living area is accessed by a different set of stairs. All have a hand rail affording some safety except for access to the living room. The owners should install a handrail to the living room stairs and also repair the broken wood trim on the floor. Pictures and description do not give accurate information about the stairs or access to each floor of the living areas and garage where the BBQ and pool table are located. Otherwise beautiful views and roomy accommodations.
