The best thing about this rental unit is about its convenient location. It is only one mile away from the California Highway 1, and many stores and restaurants are nearby. The beach is only within a few minutes of walking.
The unit offered two parking spots, which are nice. But the in-series parking arrangement makes it inconvenient to park two vehicles simultaneously. The residents will have to move vehicles from time to time.
The unit is old and not well maintained even though it offers sufficient tools. One piece in the blind in the master bed room is missing, and all blinds are old; some of them look like they are about to fall apart.
It is good the unit has a BBQ grill on the deck outside of the kitchen. But the grill is very old and does not function well. Only one of the two burners can light up, and the cover of the left burner is rustic through and should be replaced.
The unit does not offer soap or shampoo - this was stated in the introduction of the unit. But for a rental with such cost, I would think the unit should offer soap and shampoo as a convenient service to renters. Too bad this item was not included as part of the service package.
The kitchen faucet handle misses a piece of cover. It looks ugly with that cover missing even though it does not affect the function.
In the refrigerator, water drifted from the freezing compartment down to the coolant compartment. Not sure what went wrong in this refrigerator.
Overall there are many small issues that make this unit feel like a cheap rental, but the cost of renting this unit is not cheap. These small problems could be fixed easily and should not cost much to fix. So I feel the rental unit does not provide a good value under this condition. I would not want to stay in a unit in this condition in the future.
