First the good: This is a gorgeous, well-appointed coastal home just a short walk to the beach and a well-known surf spot. Decor is tasteful and playful beach modern. Seating areas and bedrooms are super comfy, and the outdoor spaces including a second-floor deck and lower level patio are perfect for fireside gatherings with family/friends. The bad: I specifically inquired about neighborhood noise when booking the home and was told, "It’s a very quiet neighborhood. The adjacent neighbors rarely make noise." But when we arrived on a Friday afternoon there was a very noisy construction project just next door with a circular saw, banging, screw driving etc. that continued until dark. This work started up again early on Saturday. Courtney did make an effort to address the situation and was eventually successful in getting the construction work halted late Saturday afternoon. The remainder of our stay was relatively quiet but for such an expensive rental, and having asked specifically about noise, we couldn't help but be disappointed.
