Owner's Response: I am shocked to get this review, especially in light of the fact that we have received two 5 star reviews in the last month. I feel it is a bit like Trump calling the White House "a dump." Not that the beach house is the White House, but it is certainly not a dump either. I would like to address some of the issues: The outside of the building is scheduled to be painted next week (August). There is a very small window of opportunity to do outside painting in the Pacific Northwest, especially next to the salt water. It must be done in the middle of summer so that the wood surfaces have a chance to dry out completely. It is illegal to remove driftwood from the beaches...it is the natural bulkhead and protection from high rise waters. I used to have very nice comfy lounge chairs on the decks, but in very short time they were full of cigarette burns. I have had to result to nice teak furniture. I think the previous renters blew the electrical breakers as the electrical system is fine. I always tell my renters if there are any problems to call me, that I am only a few minutes away. I didn't hear from these folks. The kitchen is indeed small, but very handy and well stocked, as you can read in other reviews. The refrigerator was replaced about 3 years ago, only to have one of the shelves broken that very year. The stove is not new but works perfectly. The washer and dryer and dishwasher are fairly new and all work fine. The screen doors work well to keep the flies out. The general cleanliness of the house is always good, as you can note from other reviews. I must admit that some permanent stains recently appeared around the dining room table that the professionals cannot remove, but they are hardly bad enough to replace the carpeting. The beach is a private beach and very rocky, so most people are content to enjoy the view from the decks. The plus side is that you don't have people walking across your front yard, so the property is very peaceful and private. I'm not sure what to think about the "musty smell." We will look into that possibility. I am in my seventies, so I employ a professional cleaning company to do all the cleaning in between renters and they do an exceptional job. We work hard to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. This is not the tropics, so there are only 3 months of rental time for beach properties, and I have yet to make a profit. I love the joyful feedback, but this review makes me think of selling...
