This truly is a gorgeous home with an incredible wrap-around deck with amazing views of Mercury Bay. It’s super clean, new, modern, fresh, and stylish. We loved the location up on top of the mountain too. It gives it an out-of-town natural vibe even though you’re still in town. We hit a bit of bad luck because the hot tub was broken and efforts to fix it were unsuccessful and we were also a bit surprised that a luxury house like this lacked basic essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, a dish sponge, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, and salt (the shaker was empty). All little things, but little touches that would seem to come in a house at this price point and make for a smoother visit. And would definitely make it 5-star home potential; it just. One other note for guests not familiar with this area: many of the popular tourist attractions like Catheral Cove and Hot Water Beach are on the other side of a large estuary, so even though sites like Trip Advisor might say they’re only 5-10 minutes away, they’re actually 30-40 minutes away by car because you have to drive all the way around the estuary. That didn’t effect our rating of this home and there are certainly plenty of nice beaches and beautiful sites on the north side of the estuary, but it might be helpful to know for planning purposes.
