Very large older home, as described in ad, we loved the elk mounting. It was way more than we needed, we were a party of 3 and one dog. It could easily accommodate a large family. We knew there was no AC, we were not anticipating the heat wave we had but we were aware of lack of AC and the bugs, although numerous, did not deter us from keeping windows open. Not all windows have screens, but we got over it pretty quickly. There were lots of fans, we also brought two of our own. Downstairs is much cooler than upstairs. We were not familiar with the area but we were disappointed in the lack of access to the Dollar Point beach. It was the main reason we picked this location, unfortunately short term renters are prohibited from using it at all which was a huge bummer. We made plans to do other activities away from the area so it worked out but it would have been nice to have access to that beach. Walking the neighborhood was a good workout, there are many hills and not much flat area near by.
We did not have hot water and needed to contact the rental agency, they did send someone to remedy the issue but they were short staffed and I had to reach out a few times to find out if and when they were coming. It did get fixed same day though so we were good to go after that.
Be aware, the home next to us did rent to a large party of what seemed to be fraternity brothers and they were very, very loud during the day. It did not help that I had a touch of altitude sickness and a migraine. They did respect the noise levels after10pm but not a moment sooner. Was not expecting to have a group of loud drinking buddies partying on the deck mid day in to the evening while we were there to relax. Not the fault of the property, but just be aware that there are several rentals in the area and these large homes can accommodate large parties.
Clifford liked hanging out on the deck, he was able to catch the cool breeze and check out all the happenings down below in the neighborhood. Thanks for the cool dog bandana, he loved it but refused to sit still for a photo!
