Let me start with the positive. (I was always taught to say something nice first). The views from this property are undeniably stunning. From the deck, you get a 180 degree experience of the ocean, giant rocks and islands, and it is truly incredible.

However, that view is exactly what you are paying for.

The residence is a double-wide manufactured home, and leaves much to be desired. Though they have furnished it with a nice couch, cozy rugs, and decent furnishings, it is equivalent to putting lipstick on a pig.

The whole structure seems to be made of plywood and particle board. You feel like you're going to break it. It's also creaky and the doors don't latch well, which makes for some interesting surprises when the wind picks up.

Beyond that, the instructions require that you basically be the housekeeping. At arrival you are responsible for putting sheets on your own bed. At exit, you are required to vacuum, mop, wash, dry, dust, clean, etc. We literally chose to forgo cooking or eating anything in the house, because it would have turned into an hour of work before we left. The point of being on vacation is that you don't have to worry about cleaning the house, that's what housekeeping is for.

Don't misunderstand me, I don't believe in leaving things a wreck by any means. Tossing garbage, putting dishes in the dishwasher and clothes in the washer are completely reasonable. But this place went above and beyond in their demands.

It was extremely cramped, and freezing cold. We started a fire in the stove, but we were afraid we would have to become chimney sweeps as well.

To end on the positive, Susan, the liaison for the property was a delight to work with. She even allowed us to pick up the keys from her home after we missed the arrival time at the office.

Besides Susan, and the view, I do not recommend staying here.
