Overall, this was a nice stay. I don’t mean to criticise the house too much but there were a few things I found misleading about the stay that I was surprised no one else had mentioned in the reviews. The views of the ocean are indeed present, but hidden behind power lines, and on the other side of a busy highway, so you will always hear cars. The view is also only visible from the driveway so you won’t enjoy it too much. The house is designed much like a hotel room, with only one area, then a kitchen on one side and a bathroom on the other, it is very boxy and small. The house is indeed a short stroll to the Main Street of Albany, but no one has mentioned that it is 15 minutes, which is a bit much in the middle of winter. Also, the designated parking bay will leave your car covered in bird poop! Seriously covered.
I don’t believe the homeowner mislead us, and I enjoyed the stay. I hope future travellers will have a better idea of what to expect though.
