Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We reserved this for a birthday weekend and it was terrific. Very hot amd clean hot tub, great kitchen and super nice neighbors.

The Black Nest was well appointed and had a charming atmosphere. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the indoor and outdoor spaces. A few of the features were not working during our stay such as the outdoor lighting and small fountain on the entry side and back yard of the home, but didn't really affect our stay at all, just would have been nice for ambiance.

Beautifully decorated home! The highlight was definitely the yard space and the covered hot tub. Nothing like it while looking up at the redwoods on a rainy night. Comfortable couch and nice dining space. Bedroom is cozy and great space if you have a dog.

I fell for the "10/10" reviews, but my experience was far from it. While the property is "cute," the management seems more interested in fees than hospitality.The Math Doesn't Add UpFor a tiny 520 sq. ft. space, the costs are staggering:The "41-Hour" Stay: You get less than two full days unless you fork over an extra 150 to "upgrade" your check-in/out times.Cleaning Fee: A massive 240, yet the guest book is filled with "clean or else" threats. It’s hard to imagine a cleaner getting even a fraction of that for such a small space.The "Surprise" Fee: They hit you with a 90 NON-REFUNDABLE damage fee before you even step through the door.The "10/10" IssuesDespite the premium price, the maintenance was severely lacking:The "Cold" Tub: The hot tub never actually got hot.Bird Poop: The patio furniture and deck were covered in it. Clearly, the 240 cleaning fee doesn’t cover the outdoor living space.Dirty Windows: Hard to enjoy the view through streaks and grime.Furniture: The couch feels about 100 years old—completely lost its support.Amenities: No ice machine and the kitchen equipment is barely usable.The Biggest Red Flag: PrivacyThe property has hidden door cameras that were not disclosed. We didn't realize we were being filmed until after we had walked to the (cold) tub in our "birthday suits" several times. Aside from being a massive invasion of privacy, this is a huge safety and disclosure fail.Bottom Line: Between the hidden fees, the "clean or
