Subtle touches distinguish great rentals from good rentals. This one is great. All toiletries. Super clean. Amazing design. Basic condiments/coffee and spices in the fridge. Quality hand soap. Clean baseboards. Decor that looks intentional. And most importantly, a Sonos system on the deck and living room. I'm biased bc I have enough Sonos equipment in my house to throw a rave, but the Sonos speaker set up on the outside deck was my favorite touch. The view is great but some soft background music completes the ambience. I also didn't feel self conscious about turning them up a bit bc there are no houses to the right of the deck and it didn't seem like anyone was living in the house to the left.
The string lights turn on automatically. I can't stand when I rent from a cheap owner and I have to spend days figuring out how everything works.
The indoor lights are very ambient and are different shades of warm color.
Shower has a huge ceiling and one of the most unique showers I've ever seen.
There is almost no through traffic bc there are private roads to the left and right so only the locals drive by. These are multimillion dollar homes so it has a very safe feel.
Front door lock is simple to lock and unlock. I've had quite a few experiences where front door locks were like trying to solve a Rubik's cube.
I have no complaints whatsoever but a few bits of advice for potential guests:
1. The dock at the bottom is pretty small and it faced another huge boat so unless you're going down to kayak, it's definitely not worth the steep walk down.
2. I heard a bunch of coyotes howling (or some kind of howling animal). You should never let your dogs run around/walk off leash ANYWHERE but for those of you who insist on being idiots, definitely don't do it here. It would be easy for dogs to sneak off and get lost. Also, a suggestion to the owners, gates on both sides of the deck that open and close would be amazing to contain kids/dogs. Had to throw it out there bc I definitely plan on staying here again.
3. If you do happen to have an EV, plug into the outlet behind the house by the picnic table bc the plug in the front of the house near the front door kept tripping and I had hours where I thought I was charging but wasn't.
Again, this was one of my top 5 favorite rental experiences and I would highly recommend booking a stay.
