We loved the amazing view, however the house felt neglected with maintenance issues. We were surprised by the number of issues not previously stated by previous guests. Things that needed attention were: no instruction manual at the house (we had to contact host and received an email copy) unpleasant odors in the kitchen (we had to go to store and buy candles), burned out lights in every room, master toilet running all night, smoke alarm began beeping at 4:30 am (due to low battery), WiFi did not reach lower/master bedrooms, sliding door to patio was stuck and didn't open all the way. Regarding the kitchen: if you plan to cook, the kitchen is limited to only dinner plates, small plates, small bowls, a couple of pans and one pot, but there are no kitchen serving dishes or bowls (we had to use the large cooking pot for a salad). There is adequate silverware and cooking utensils, but only one kitchen towel and no dish rack for dishes to dry. The condition of the kitchen cabinets was very disappointing (the laminate was blistering in several areas) and the wall above the stove was very dirty and greasy from previous tenants.
The communication was great, they responded very quickly when presented with our issues. They sent someone to clean up trash strewn about on the front of the property when we arrived. They offered to change light bulbs and wash the dirty utensils (we declined because due to the height of the ceilings and number of outages, we knew it would take a while and didn't want to give up our time in the house.) We did find the beds to be comfortable and the view unbelievable. All of the maintenance issues took away some of our joy staying in a home with so much potential. I do wish I could leave a better review, but I feel I need to be honest. For the price point, it just wasn't what we thought it would be.
