HIGHS:
Owner is SUPER responsive, and cares about the neighborhood. When we arrived, there was a line of ants going from a gap under the window to the trash bin. Hey, it happens, no problem. Owner sent someone to spray around the outside and respected our privacy, and the ants were gone that day. Awesome!
Ping pong, foosball, and trampoline are great for kids - we had fun.
Location - quiet neighborhood, with great access to Pillar Point - very easy to walk to dinner, explore the harbor, and short rides to other great hikes.
Very quiet.
LOWS:
We found it to be poor value for the price. I hope owner will look at the rest of the market - there are 4-bedroom whole house properties with panoramic glass ocean views for similar pricing.
Light was flickering terribly in the master bedroom. (Owner offered to fix it, but since we were there for a weekend, we asked them to wait until we were gone.)
Overall the house is showing its age - rust on some of the fixtures, patched walls in bathrooms. Again, if it were 1/3 less expensive, it would have been fine. It's a comfortable house, but it's not a premium property, so shouldn't be priced like one.
Small yards and neighbor houses quite close. Felt like the backyard neighbor could look from their deck / windows right into our bedrooms, so your choice was natural light or privacy.
8 people stayed in the house (owner knew and confirmed), but we ran out of TP and had to buy some while we were out.
