I was really disappointed with this stay. First, the main listing photo is NOT the view from this rental. I doubt it's even the view from the host's home which is next door. You cannot see the water from the rental and we were there on 2 very clear days. We walked all around looking for this magnificent view but it wasn't found . The sliding door (only entrance to rental) does not match up to the wall so not only can you not close it completely but you can't lock it or your belongings up. The shower is so small that my 235lb husband couldn't fit in it.
When we arrived the heater was on high and the room was extremely uncomfortable. After turning the heater to off we expected it to shut down but it ran all weekend. The host later tried to say the pilot was the only thing on but you could hear it kick on and off all weekend and there was hot air being forced out the vent. We contacted shannon immediately but didn't hear back from her until mid day the following day. Her only solution was to be sure the Window unit was on the lowest setting (it was) and that we were lucky she bought an AC unit since no one else has one. The unit was very small and not able to cool the bedroom since the heater was running right next to it. There are no screens in the sliding doors so you can't even open them overnight for some cool night air.
The sheets had stains on one side which made me not even want to stay the first night.
The fridge had been unplugged prior to our arrival, which we didn't know, so our food we stored in it all spoiled. Turned out all appliances were unplugged. The "guesthouse" is really half of a garage that's been converted to a studio bedroom.
The host was in and out of the back half of the garage all morning slamming doors and working on woodworking equipment so it was very noisy. This was my worst experience with a super host and I was very disappointed given the rate we paid. Would have been better in a hotel.
On the positive side we never heard dogs barking and at night it was quiet. The location was good and it was easy to get to and nice to have parking.
