This home is situated in a nice and elevated neighborhood with beautiful views. The neighborhood felt safe and the home is protected with a gate and a security alarm. It's very large and spacious and I can see it being comfortable for a larger group or family (we were only a couple). The hosts are very friendly, responsive and helpful. It's close to town, a great hiking area and a nice beach. We also really appreciated the secure parking in the garage.
We booked this primarily for the views and the pool. We had nice weather, but not hot enough to fully enjoy the pool. It also took a bit of time to clean the pool and deck, as several pigeons were nesting and defecating all over the pool deck.
The home has a very "lived-in" feeling which some people like. However, we were a bit disappointed in the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the home. It felt dusty and musty (smell) over all and a few things (like the shower head in the first floor bedroom) could use replacing/updating.
