Overall, we were disappointed.
The location couldn't be better--secluded, quiet, dark at night, ocean view, and surrounded by redwoods. Having a washer and dryer was helpful. But otherwise, we feel we way overpaid for such a rundown property.
First and foremost, the house was SO COLD. There is only one heat register that works; the rest have a note on them saying they're "not connected." We ran that heat register, the gas fireplace, and the lone space heater for a full 24 hours before the house came to a reasonable temperature that did not require me to wear my down jacket inside.
Second, it wasn't all that clean or in good shape. There were cobwebs in the bathroom and on stairs and ceilings, the shower drain was slow, leaving me standing in several inches of slimy water by the end of my short shower, and the furniture is very worn and dingy. The queen bed squeaks so loud; I had to stay in one position all night to avoid waking my baby in the next room (and the pocket door to that room sticks and is also very loud, and won't shut all the way). The front left burner on the stove doesn't work at all. The house is dimly lit inside. I see these same problems described in reviews from years past, so clearly they've known about issues for a long time and haven't bothered fixing them.
Check-in wasn't until 4:00, and check-out is at 10:00, making our three-day stay feel like a quick two-day stay. And the listing states it has two bedrooms, but this isn't quite true. There is one room with a door, but the second "bedroom" is just the rest of the loft, which you can't close off from the rest of the house.
It could be great with a few repairs and updates, but as-is, it's not worth nearly the price we paid.
