Just got back from our week's stay. What a beautiful location and setting. We really enjoyed the ocean views from each deck, the living room and dining room. This property borders the public park, so people occasionally would walk through the view, but it was never a bother. Sometimes they'd look up and wave, which was nice. Close to the cliffs are two picnic tables, which we made use of to bring our plates of food or coffee to, or just to eat some fruit down there. When you're at the picnic tables, it is like being on a cruise and looking out toward the vast ocean. With perfect weather all week, it was simply majestic. The park area and along the house fence are blackberry bushes for days. We picked a bunch and made a simple bisquick cobbler in the cast iron pan. We got vanilla ice cream from the little store across the street, and the two together were off the hook. So yummy! I give 5+ stars for scenery, location and environment.
The house itself I would give 4.5 stars. Upon arrival, it did not look like the floors and carpets had been swept/vacuumed well. I did a sweep of the floor and that piled into a bit. However, the dishes, bathrooms, counters and upstairs were all clean. A couple of things that I'd wished the house had were: a dish brush, two instead of one sponge (one for counters, one for washing dishes), a few more kitchen towels, and some baking sheets and pans. I would have liked a third bathmat for in front of the bathtub, but we made do. Compared to other places we've stayed at, I appreciated extra toilet paper since we were there a week (the last place we had to go out and buy some! This time I brought some just in case), quality towels that were also clean as were the sheets, pillows and blankets. The beds could have been a little better quality. Although we slept well enough, none of us were fans of the beds. I also appreciate that dishwasher pods and laundry pods were provided. It made using the house much more enjoyable. There were also extra garbage bags (the last place did not provide any extra) and paper towels. The house is laid out well to take advantage of ocean views, and we really enjoyed that. Internet had a little trouble keeping up with us, but it wasn't horrible.
Overall, this place is worth staying at, and we plan to go back again.
