The property was spacious and had a great outdoor area with a pool and a spa. This was perfect for a family stay.

Loved the baby crib and high chair!

We stayed here for Thanksgiving...however, ther was a double oven...the large side didn't work. We ended up squeezing our turkey into the small little oven, then had to bake all the side dishes one at a time after the turkey. The owner dropped a nice gift card to make up for the inconvenience. They couldn't get a repairman to respond because of the holiday. The hot tub was Luke warm when we arrived. The digital displays were clouded over so you couldn't read them . So, figuring out how to increase temp was impossible. So, we didn't use it. They were missing some of the basics in the kitchen. Couldn't find a can opener that worked. Some of the cupboard doors were jacked up and wouldn't close...we had a toddler so it was a bit bothersome. The backyard was lovely. The owners communicated well. The house overall was comfortable and had some great potential...but needed touchup paint indoors to make it look fresh.

We loved spending time with the family in this cosy house with the great outside area. We also loved the small golf course down the road.

The description is misleading. I guess that “cottage” means “run down”. The house would be acceptable, even quite nice if the owners took the care to update it to today’s rental standards. The owners clearly do not care about giving their clientèle a positive experience. The bathrooms, doors and windows are terribly run down, probably have never been renovated. The upstairs bathroom sink is too small to even wash one’s face, and no countertop. The kitchen dishes were mismatched and chipped—the best ones had a Christmas design. The dishes and frypans were probably leftover from the 70s, as were the bedsheets—synthetic and non-matching bedsheets. Having said that, the backyard and pool area was lovely as is the neighborhood. In my view, it would be of minimal cost to bring the rental up-to-date considering the price the owners ask. It is quite insulting to veteran travelers/house renters to find this level of 30 or 40-year old remants of dishes, sheets and toys in the cabinets, and bathrooms that are not up to standard. My husband had to wait all day for the So.Cal gas technician to show up to investigate a bad gas smell one morning. Very disappointing and not up to usual VRBO standards.
