Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location, needs some upkeep, hard to communicate with the host.
With the first steps into the home, it's clear it is in need of some upkeep. The entry way smells of old carpet and pet urine and the stains are there to prove it. Additionally, several of the large picture windows in the kitchen, sitting area, and bedroom were in need of replacing due to the mold growth in between the double panes. For a house with such a great location, the view in each of those rooms was tainted by those unappealing and distracting windows. In the kitchen area, the bench seat featured dated and stained cushions that in the least could have used a cover and the window was clearly not wiped recently as there was plenty of clearly visible black dog hair. That being said, the bedroom we stayed in and the bathrooms were pleasantly clean and tidy.
During our stay, their was an issue with the refrigerator as it was incessantly beeping. While trying to find the source of the beep, I found a smoke detector that was not functioning properly and had a flashing red light. I tried to contact the host with four unanswered messages over two days to resolve these issues, but they refused to respond despite the obvious danger of ignoring a broken smoke detector. The constant beeping made it unpleasant to spend time in the kitchen or sitting room and ruined the peaceful crashing of the nearby waves.
Overall, I give it 2 stars because of it's great location and clean bathrooms, but realistically the "communication" deserved 0 stars and the home could use upkeep.
