The Good: Great "Ocean" views and quiet neighborhood.
The Bad: Seemed like a great location until we realized there is no beach access. Ok, there is ocean access, but no beach. There is access to the ocean down the street, but this access takes you to a tiny beach covered in fist sized rocks. Beyond that is jetty boulders. No sand! If you want sandy beaches, its a mile walk towards the Oceanside Pier. Nice beach there. The house: gaps in the floors, furniture is heavily worn and stained badly enough we couldn't relax on it. Gross! Upper deck did not have lounge chairs as depicted in photos, so couldn't relax there. The outdoor furniture that was there, was found to be tattered, heavily worn out, torn cushions, uncomfortable. Showers not clean with hair stuck to the shower walls, Plugged bathroom sink drain, ice maker not functioning, slimy inflatable spa tucked away with no views.
The Ugly: Apparently the mini split AC units are all mounted up high in the garage and produce so much heat, making the garage so freaking hot with no ventilation. So hot it melted the sunroof seals, steering wheel controls, and distorted the plastic bumper on my Land Rover. The steering wheel controls literally fell off the wheel, sunroofs stuck closed, rear door difficult to open and could not close it due to distortion. Honda windshield and door rubber melted. Yes, melted!!!
We made management aware of the problems with the rental and their response, after a week or so, was a couple hundred dollar refund, a 10% credit towards another rental, and nothing for the vehicle damage, which is clearly their fault. "We don't cover damage to personal property."
Btw, the neighbors in the unit next door, managed by the same company, left their vacation early for mostly the same reasons.
We did not mind paying $$$$$ for a stay in a place with all the possibilities this home had promised. They fell well short of delivering what is depicted and described in the listing. Not a $$$$/night experience.
