Can't beat the view!
What an amazing spot.. I couldn't believe that we could access such an incredible trail within footsteps of the house. Waterfalls, bluffs, magical bridges... Our kids were in love. More than enough space for all 4 of us, and a perfect sunset watching deck. Some of the amenities were lacking; specifically in the kitchen. No cooking oil, sugar, or pepper so be sure to come with some of your own staples if you plan to cook. Thank you!!!

Not Happy!
I had requested a home with no stairs as I am older and use a cane! When we arrived much to my surprise, the house had stairs! It was too late to find another home also was not happy with the cleanliness of the house! Will never go through Grand Welcome again!

VOMIT house with ant infestation
DO NOT BOOK!!! I booked this property because of the 2 king bedrooms and ocean view. We found wet rotting human vomit (from a previous renter?) on the FLOOR AND BED of one bedroom leaving that bedroom unusable and foul smelling. Management sent someone to clean the carpet the day after we reported but the room smelled heavily of vomit and was unusable the entire trip. Management offered to refund the cleaning fee but refused to compensate for the unusable room. We had the following additional issues: 1. VOMIT on bedroom carpet and bed skirt with heavy foul odor 2. Kitchen INFESTED by Ants— kitchen was disorganized and filthy with ants everywhere 3. Stained carpet throughout 4. Moldy windows 5. Unit Smells heavily perfumed on arrival, like carpet powder to cover what became obviously a smell of rancid old wet vomit 6. No smoke alarm on first floor 7. Receive automated texts from management company at 4AM asking for feedback in checkin process 8. Cheap polyester sheets 9. Leaking windows with a dirty towel left across windowsill as solution to block drips 10. Tree blocking view of ocean from balcony 11. Very Dirty windows obstructing view of ocean 12. Delayed response for management after alerting them to state of unit I’ve had poor experiences with Grand Welcome in the past but this was by far the worst. Absolutely repulsive. Such a shame for what could be a nice property. I will never rent a property managed by Grand Welcome again.

Great Place, Frustrating Communication with Property Manager.
I have two separate streams of feedback. 1) The house itself was really beautiful and the weekend was restful and enjoyed by all! Thank you! 2) The communication and price incongruity prior to the trip was whole unnecessary and frustrating. The property manager wasn’t listening and felt like they were just sending scripted responses without actually hearing the inquiry. There was a HUGE pricing issue that VRBO ultimately rectified—though it took far too much time and energy! It’s a shame too! It didn’t need to escalate to that, and we aren’t the kind to invite drama. Customer service was really lacking and thankfully the house being so great saved the trip.
