We selected this house because of the huge kitchen, top of the line appliances and 10 person dining table that were all fantastic! We also were looking forward to enjoying the view and the outdoor deck and we were blown away by both. The pictures do not do the view justice... as it is absolutely the highlight of the home.
The kitchen was fantastic for cooking Thanksgiving dinner for our family and the overall stay surpassed our expectations.
We are frequent vacation renters and have gotten used to the house description not living up to expectations-but this house FAR exceeded our these! The best equipped kitchen I have ever stayed in and the huge Viking range plus smaller JenAir oven really were the workhorse of preparing our huge meal. There was plenty of room for all of us to prep our 13 dishes and desserts and it was a joy to be able to all sit at such a beautiful table big enough to accommodate all of us.
We sat out on the deck around the propane fire table for morning coffee and sat at the outdoor dining table to play a few rounds of cards. We were a bit weary of making noise while outside due to the “hostile” signs put up by the neighbors who obviously do NOT like this home being used by vacationers...however we never had any issue. Also the house is currently listed for sale, which seems common for the rentals we have used recently. Just beware so you confirm your rental is not suddenly cancelled or moved because the house sold.
The property mgmt company was great to work with. The only feedback I have is that this house is so high tech and has such high end appliances that it would be nice if there were instructions for the main appliances. There were good signs for how to turn on the TV and reminders around the house for guests but a “house manual” would be helpful.
There were a few minor things that future guests should be aware of but overall you should enjoy this beautiful designer home with incredible ocean views
The dishwasher is as difficult to figure out how to use. We either ended up running very long 2.5 hour cycles or we couldn’t get it to turn on, which was problematic when we had so many dishes from our Thanksgiving cooking extravaganza.
No propane for the outdoor table so we had to go fill it. The TV remote did not work so we had to change channels on the Direct TV box manually, the AC does not really work in the main living area (only 1 vent to cover the whole space) while upstairs was quite chilly. The footrest on the left side of the couch was broken, and the beds/mattresses in the room with 2 beds were “rock hard” per our sons who slept there. Otherwise the house was awesome!
