A very peaceful and beautiful setting!

With our larger group, it was the perfect amount of space. Communication was wonderful with the host, very quick responses. Only thing we noticed was that the house was not checked by host who lives close bye before another renter comes in. We were supposed to have a lanyard that gave us beach access and that was nowhere to be found. We also planned on using the bbq they advertise and it had no propane. 2 tanks but they were empty so that was unfortunate. Derailed our dinner a bit. Other than that, lovely home. A little werid upstairs bathroom with a toilet in the shower with soggy toilet paper but it’s funny! In all, a little pricey for what you get but it’s alright.

Waking to the sounds of sea lions and the smell of the redwoods was simply incredible. The renovation work being done looks great and the location is central to many beaches and some great dining opportunities.

First, the positives. The location of this home is wonderful – nested in huge redwoods where the sound of the wind could be heard throughout our stay. The upper deck provided a great perch for up to 4 people to sit and observe an ocean view. The upstairs master bedroom was very comfortable other than the bathroom shower leaks and no hot water). Unfortunately when downstairs we were hit with a strong odor of musty mildew. The two downstairs rooms were not pleasant and our stay seemed to coincide with recent repair work to one of the bathrooms where we believe there were/are water leaks. This left us with a very strong smell of mildew which didn’t go away even with windows and doors open. The host said the shower was recently repaired - maybe the root of the odor issue? The repairs were not successful as there was standing water downstairs with water on the ceiling and walls after a shower upstairs and the water didn’t get warm enough to shower. I would also recommend an update to a few key items including coffee maker (took 30 minutes to brew a pot), toaster (half of slots didn’t work) and towels which were very old. I just feel it is important to share as these types of accommodations aren’t inexpensive and believe that the home owner has an opportunity to quickly resolve before the next guests experience the same.
