We were really excited for our visit to Pacifica, but our stay at this property was disappointing. We even left early though we paid for the full stay. The house smelled really musty. It wasn’t just an annoying smell, all three of us started coughing and feeling congested. We opened windows and aired it for hours but it didn’t resolve the issue. We also tried keeping the windows closed, but it only made the smell worse. The property manager said this was a normal smell since the house is located so close to the ocean, but our other recent oceanfront stays and visits never had this issue. My daughter’s pack n play still carries the musty smell even though we’ve been out of the property for a week.
Any cooking in the kitchen also attracted a bunch of ants from the kitchen window to the countertop, so be prepared to prep your meals on the dining table to keep them ant-free. This would probably only be an issue if you stay during the summer months.
The house was cozy and decently supplied with minimalist furniture in bedrooms. Being within walking distance of the ocean was really nice. But the smell was definitely a let down and prevented us from enjoying our stay. We wouldn’t visit this property again.
