I was a little hesitant to book this house because of the mixed reviews, but we had a decent stay overall. The house is as pictured. Some of the furniture has been moved around or swapped out, but the photos are accurate. The view is incredible (early morning dolphins!!). We liked that the third bedroom was its own separate space. Yes, you can hear the noise of PCH, but that’s to be expected of a major highway, and it didn’t keep this New Yorker awake at all. And I didn’t have any issues with cleanliness. It was clean and was stocked with clean white linens and towels. I think where some of the mixed reviews come from is the home’s need for some TLC, like some touch-up paint where a wall might look “dirty”, some newer glasses that aren’t stained in water spots, the floors could really use some love - but those things didn’t mean it wasn’t clean. I was a little disappointed in the lack of some cooking basics, like foil and pot holders (I always think some olive oil, salt & pepper should be available too, but that’s just my preference). The propane tank on the BBQ was empty, which we only discovered after buying food to grill. Only one of the bedrooms has a ceiling fan. And the thermostat has a lock on it, which was quite shocking because, for $800+ per night, I should be able to pick a temperature that I like (and, you know, with no ceilings fans in most rooms, you very well may not like the climate in the room you’re in). For the price and for the area, those little details make a difference so I can understand some disappointment. But overall, this house worked great for our family and I would stay there again.
