This home has a lot of potential to be cozy and welcoming, despite its age. There are a few notable upgrades like the flooring on the main level and the new decking Both were nice, but there just haven’t been enough upgrades and TLC to make it a welcoming space. Most disappointing was the very dirty windows on the main floor, the layer of dust on the lower part of the banister, and the broken deck chairs sitting beside the driveway. Overall, it just doesn’t feel clean.There were many broken lamps, many broken shades, most windows are missing screens. The cookware, tableware, pillows, and decorations are a hodgepodge of old, used leftovers. The new deck only had two plastic chairs available, no table. It was a nice spot to do yoga in the morning, but we would’ve enjoyed sitting out and eating our meals on the deck. The stove was not working, only two functional burners, making it inconvenient for cooking. We were told of the broken stove a couple hours ahead of time without any offer of refund or other form of compensation. The trees around the house are beautiful, The location is very walkable to the beach which is less populated than in town, a definite plus. And if you are beach walkers, it’s a doable walk into town. Highway 101 is right behind the house and so there is moderate road noise. We recommend changing check-in to one hour earlier and check out to one hour later. The home was not a good value for the price.Again, it has so much potential, but just isn’t there yet
