This was a nice place but I would not say its was worth the pricey rental fee. There is fabulous view and on a non-hazy day Im sure we could have a seen a bit of the ocean, but make sure you see it before 9pm because there is a curfew on the back porch. I totally understand the need to respect the neighbors and prevent noise from carrying down into the valley, but to not allow any outside presence on the back deck after 9pm (and they have cameras that watch), to see the wondrous stars, read under the moonlight or have some personal quiet time to enjoy the night air, is ridiculous! There is a patio out front of the house that could be a nice seating area if some outside furniture was available. We are an older couple who brought older friends, don't drink or party, but we still spent a lot of time worried about being quiet, so we didn't enjoy our time much. Even afraid to play Phase 10 card game for fear our fun would be too loud! And heaven forbid if we had brought children! And then, to make it worse, only one TV available in a house that one could rent for 10-12 people. So stuck inside after dark with one TV. Not fun. It did not feel very homey.
On the positives, the house is very clean. Bathrooms are spectacular, Decor is nice and simple, beds are super comfy, the kitchen was well stocked with many extras such as spices, coffee, tea, sugar. The games such as the ping pong table and foosball table was nice to have but can't play after dark for fear we would get too loud. The place is also close to a few stores and the ocean.
I've traveled the world some and have stayed at AirBnb places and this was the most expensive place we have stayed that was defiantly inflated in price. I would not stay here again.
