Great house w/ better location! Stayed here for a quick, local getaway next to the ocean (we live ~60 miles away). The location was amazing and could not have been better, it’s great waking up with the ocean in your front yard and being able to watch the sunset every night. Overall, our stay here was really great and we enjoyed the view from the house and the backyard. We would definitely recommend this to our friends and may try to stay again in the future.
Deeper dive below:
My wife and I are very clean people, maybe our standards are too high and with that in mind, the place could have been cleaner. For 90% or more of people, I believe the place was more than clean enough but there were small things like a stray hair here and there in the bathroom counter/drawers and on the bedsheets, bread crumbs under the toaster (really only a bid deal for us as our daughter has severe wheat allergies- but we weren’t planning on using the toaster), the grill in the backyard was very old and almost unusable and last the towels and pillow covers were kind of old (pillows had minor stains on them-but not a big deal, the type of stains from multiple use through the years that the washer might not be able to get out anymore). But aside from that, for an Airbnb this was a very clean house.
A few other notes: random diaper package open in one of the drawers, child safety locks were broken on some cabinets (or missing), some opened (but unused) tampons in the bathroom cabinet, garage was locked, which I don’t remember being mentioned in the listing but is fine except that the lock was from inside the garage, so there wasn’t really a way to confirm someone couldn’t get access into the house through the garage if they had a key. I guess all doors really, didn’t have a security lock on the inside that the host/others with keys could use to get in during the middle of the night. But maybe that’s Airbnb policy, I’m not sure - still adjusting to being a new parent with a toddler, so I think about those things now.
A lot of these added notes are extra and not deal breakers - or even close. Just thought I’d list them out as we noticed them. Overall the stay was exactly what we were looking for. Great location, even better view. Local beach is less than 5mins away and not a lot people so great for social distances. Quick response on Airbnb from host and they even provided a complimentary bottle of wine! Great Airbnb for families! And the backyard deck is just amazing for relaxing with a view. Will recommend to friends and family.
