Pretty disappointed.
The wear and tear has definitely taken its toll on this house. We had trouble with the keypad lock and Geoff the owner had to come help us. He explained sometimes it doesn’t retract all the way and you have to lock and relock a few times for it to work. And sure enough that’s what we had to do all 4 days we were there which got pretty annoying.
Upon walking in everything you can see that has metal were badly rusted. (And probably why the lock doesn’t work because of the corrosion) From coffee table legs to curtain rods and the rings. The rust stain would run off to leave stains on carpet.
Curtains had water stain and mold on them from windows being left opened and rain coming in.
The bedroom facing the driveway has sliding door to the balcony with NO working locks. Even though it’s in a private driveway we were still concerned about someone being able to come into the house.
And just like other reviews mentioned, there is NO Air Con. The rooms do get pretty warm with the floor to ceiling glass turning the rooms into a greenhouse.
While the sea breeze was enough in April to cool down the room, the problem is there are no screens so bugs were coming in as well. So you had to choose between a cooler temperature room WITH bugs or a hot room without...
The private beach is ok except we had to keep our sandals on because we kept finding broken pieces of glass and beer bottles.
All in all, this property could’ve been great if it was up kept properly. There are certain things you just have to do to keep and maintain a seaside property because of the salt and sea spray but seems like those works were kept at a minimum. I wish this was like trip advisor I would post pics of the condition it’s in now and let you be the judge.
There are some pros though Geoff is quick at answering text so communication was not a problem. And even though you could get 3 rooms down at the new Courtyard Marriott nearby for cheaper than this place, you won’t get the view of this house. With it facing north we quite enjoyed the sunrise and sunset equally.
Location is great being so close to the PCC and BYU.
