We loved the location of this property. The size of the house was not disappointing; however, we were notified the day before coming that the heater was not working and they were having trouble getting it repaired. The property manager did offer a refund, but mentioned that the heater had not been working for the last couple of tenants. The property manager added that there were space heaters in each room and a fireplace with lots of wood in the garage. My family had so been looking forward to this trip, and to be notified the day before of this major problem, seemed a little late to change plans and find another place, so we said we would give it a try. The space heaters worked fine for the upstairs, but the one for the downstairs where all the recreational items were was not sufficient. Luckily, it was a fairly nice couple of winter days at the beach, so we spent time outdoors.
The fireplace was not in the best shape; but, we did try to build a fire in the evening. The wood in the garage was damp and did not work well (very smoky), so we went to the local store in Pacific city to purchase some dry wood.
The second day we were there, the toilet in one of the bathrooms started leaking all over the floor. It appeared that the seal had broken. I turned off the water supply to the toilet, cleaned up the water, and reported it to the property manager. I was told that they could not get anyone out to fix it for a couple of days (and by then we would be leaving).. Thank goodness there were several bathrooms.
My overall impression of this place is that it needs some attention to the maintenance. The bar-b-que grill was so rusted that it wasn't safe to use. The shower doors were hung poorly and kept falling off of the track., and as I mentioned before, the heater did not work, nor did one of the toilets. The family had a great time and the views were spectacular. I would recommend this rental with the hopes that they step up with the maintenance.
