The toaster had a crust stuck in it and when we put bread in it, it burned and stunk a place out.The people who were in there before us did a poor job of cleaning, especially the bathroom sink.

The house is clean, comfortable, and across the street from the sea. In the morning, the street is busy with boat launches and tourists going onto whale watching cruises but the house provides an idyllic nighttime experience stargazing while sitting on deck chairs looking out over the sea/ocean.
