We had a very nice experience. The home is in an excellent location, close to the water, a little coffee shop, and within beach walking distance to the main part of town. The pool was clean and cool and had a nice, updated fridge. The foliage around the house created the secluded vibe even though you were on the corner of a busy street. The deck was great for sunsets and winter sunrise over the southern hills.
Some negatives are that the couches in the living area barely seemed usable. They are likely from the late 1980's and aren't cleaned regularly or at all. They have a smell about them and aren't comfortable - they should be outside furniture, upstairs on the deck. The beds in the spare rooms could use better bed frames - no hanky panky with those loud metal frames. A few non-slip mats would be nice as the wet floors can cause accidents. Also, bring beach towels or you'll be forced to purchase them. Only white bath towels and beach blanket-things are provided.
Overall, this seemed like a decent rental - a little overpriced for the quality of the unit - adequately priced for the location. I recommend new furniture and some basic upgrades, but overall a great experience. The cat is great, too.
