Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great Location. Walked to the beach every day. Was concerned about Uber but wasn’t a problem. Between Uber, the Ferry, and Train it was easy to get around. ##### Todd H. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### STEPHANIE Y. Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### Needs cleaning The photos on the listing show much more glamour than what it is.When we stepped in, the air smelt stale, like it had been a long period of time from the last booking.There was dust on the dining room chairs, dead bugs, spider webs in kitchen and the sheets smelt.Not sure what the pamphlet meant about turning off the aircon cause there was none, just fans. We were all sweating with the humidity and no air was flowing inside. The beach though is accurately a short walk from the house though. The house is surrounded by trees and so there were a lot of noisy birds chirping all throughout the night making sleeping difficult. ##### STEPHANIE Y.
