6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The house is great inside, the exterior needs some attention. There are weeds and tall grass. We had some issues with the host that I wish could be ignored but they can’t really. When we got there the house hadn’t been prepared for us. Dirty sheets and countertops and bathrooms. We contacted her and she apologized and came the next day and did a great job of cleaning the house. Later in the week I texted her about garbage day as the cans were absolutely full. She never responded to me and five days later I sent her another text about the garbage and any exit instructions. I received a short message in response about confusing properties and our exit instructions. So, nice house that just needs some better attention.

Very quiet home near the coast. We came with our baby and friends. Perfect for 2 couples or a small family. Beautiful views of the ocean. Kitchen had everything we needed! 10/10 would stay here again.

Perfect house for us. Host was responsive and helpful. Great location for many activities. Yard was fenced so we didn’t need to worry about the dog getting out.
