Nice house, right across from a small gorgeous piece of beach (two lane beach access road in between) that you cant really swim In but can splash around the shore in later afternoons (unless you’re a surfer and used to navigating the large rocks and know the depth/underwater terrain well). But regardless of swimability, it is truly a breathtaking section of beach for photos and some early evening frolicking in wave breaks and sand. Not for elderly as you’ve got to navigate down the rocks as it’s been kept without stairs which is also a bonus for aesthetics and pure beach appeal.
House was adequate. Master room /bath the star of house for sure, followed by family area. Well provisioned with beach towels and one set of towels (body/hand/face) per bed size (so two sets in each).
Only complaints are the check in and check out time for the price. I was told it was to allow for ample COVID cleaning and between time, but the cleaners were sitting in the driveway on their phone at 4:02, and only finished right at 4pm as I was waiting for them to depart. Then you are out at 10am on leave day. We all know how long it takes to settle in when you’re talking aBout a house (not hotel). Same for leaving. Because of the checkout time, we had to start prepping the night before, so really only got 1 full day of - 3 night/4 day stay where we could use it as a home. Second seems silly but was a big inconvenience and caused injury. the garbage cans are stored on side of house, which prohibits using the side gates/entry for access as it’s blocked by three back to bs k cans. I had to move them to use the shower to get sand off our feet, during which time I scraped my elbow on the side wall. Lots of blood. Plus it makes taking out the trash very inconvenient- you have to go out front door/steps to take out regular trash then back the way you came. Theoretically you could go the other way for the recycling, but it was in the middle of the three so I could not reach it at all. The stucco is sharp and the scab just came off three weeks later from the injury. Plus I had to throw recycling in regular trash, which as a Californian is hard to do!
But house nice enough, views gorgeous, and location perfect for peace and quiet. And that’s what we came for and received at Neptune Place. Never got the jacuzzi bath to work, but I’m sure that was end user error, the lights in tub did work though.
