Birthday gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a family gathering for my mother's 90th birthday, and the home was a perfect fit for us. We had plenty of room for 7-8 people, a good sized kitchen for making big dinners, the nearby cove to explore on walks, and great views to enjoy all day. We also got to see the resident fox and otter!

Threadbare house, incredible view

Sincerely appaled by the positive reviews for this property. I'll be the first to say it, then: this home is a dirty overpriced disappointment. We knew this was an older home/ikea rental situation and chose to book it for the view. Everything was wiped down and serviceable, but considering the exorbitant cleaning fee, we expected a nicer stay. Everything felt a bit grimy and neglected. Baseboards peeling from walls with dust and bits of dead bugs, chipping and stained furniture, etc. The master bath jets were caked with mystery green grime, so no bath for baby. The house has no AC and one small slow ceiling fan. The master bedroom sliding door is inoperable so cooling down the upstairs is impossible in the evening. The house is in full sun all day, beware if you are booking during any weather above 75. The view is the best part, but trying to keep the house cool means window curtains drawn. The only outdoor furniture is two adirondak chairs, and they were so overgrown with grass and weeds they were unusable. The lawn was studded with spiky weeds and huge balls of lawn trimmings were dried and matted everywhere. The driveway entrance is overgrown so we couldn't safely pull our truck camper in to park without taking out huge branches. The host/company has a list of chores to do before you leave, absolutely greedy given how high the cleaning fee is. The dishes smelled foul. We would not stay here again, given the price with the cleaning fee we expected much better.
