The property had a lot of potential but was poorly maintained. The outside of the house appears run down, in stark contrast to the well-kept neighbor's house. The dimming lights in the living room and master bedroom were not installed correctly as they had a strobing effect if not turned to just the right setting. Both the master bathroom and basement bathroom had jammed sink stoppers. Some of the curtain rods were lazily installed, as they would slide back and forth when trying to open/close curtains. The pictures included a photo of a hot tub, but it was out of service for the stay (in their defense it was not listed as an amenity in the posting, but I still found this to be misleading).
The property did have gorgeous ocean and mountain views, however this was greatly smeared by the dump in the neighboring backyard. This eyesore took up nearly all of the views from the backyard balcony and was a large disappointment.
The location of this property was very ideal, and we enjoyed quick access to the ocean, sightseeing, and activities. The home was spacious and comfortably accommodated our family of 7 for 6 days. If proper maintenance/updates were completed on this house and information on the backyard situation was transparent, it would have the potential to be a 9/10 stay.
