We checked in after dark and the outside lighting was good and helped while we found the front door and unloaded the car. When we arrived the house was well lit and the tv was on, making for a welcoming entrance.
After staying, however, it became very clear that the house was less than moderately cleaned and the property maintenance was severely lacking. We frequent VRBO properties often and found this one to be one of the least clean properties. We arrived to one of the beds we needed to use was completely unmade, only one of the lightbulbs was working in the second bedroom, one light bulb was missing completely. The dust on the tv receivers and under the edges of the couches and under the edges of the bed suggest that cleaning is done quickly or without attention to detail. The supplies in the kitchen were very minimal, enough forks for one and a half meals for our family of 5, though they did have plastic plates, cups and utensils for kiddos which we appreciated. They do look like they need replaced. The stove top was very outdated and stained or burnt on food on the burners. The cabinets are cheap and outdated, and the cooking spray they provided was empty upon arrival. We had enough paper supplies for our family for a week. There was a fan put away in the closet very obviously covered in dust and dirt. And the bottom of the dishwasher was full of food/debris and the filter has maybe never been cleaned. It was absolutely disgusting. We attempted to clean it but the kitchen sink does not have a sprayer or a garbage disposal. The windows upon arrival looking out to the hot tub and the dining room windows had hand prints, food debris and pet slobber on them. I had to clean the windows before my daughter touched them to look outside. It was very apparent cleaning was done to a minimum. Water damage in guest bathroom needs attention.
For the plus side, The views of the ocean were great, and the yard is fenced and felt private and secluded and the hot tub was definitely a perk of the property. The beach access was good, though the path is hidden down the street immediately adjacent to someone’s property tucked into some trees. Once through the access gate, and down the stairs, the access to the beach is an immediate drop off of a cliff, so you are required to walk about 1/4 mile down the sand and over driftwood to get to the accessible part of the beach. The location was good. Quiet neighborhood and private street. I would not recommend.
