The house is beautiful and the view was breathtaking... truly an amazing place! We loved relaxing by the pool and enjoyed using the hot tub almost every evening. We were thrilled to watch whales right off the coast from the patio! The kitchen was well-stocked and we had nearly everything we needed.... it would have been a perfect place if not for the mice. The second evening we had our first mouse sighting and things went downhill from there. In all, we removed 11 dead or dying poisoned mice from the house and were continually cleaning up mouse droppings. The host apologized and brought poison traps but blamed the situation on their exterminator and us not closing the doors. We had been careful to keep doors closed and realized this was not a new situation when we found bait boxes full of maggots and decomposing mice. Mice chewed through bags full of items purchased to take home and left droppings on pillows, in kitchen cabinets, on chairs and we were awakened at night by traps spring shut. The home would be an ideal vacation site if not for the mice!
