Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. We encourage our Guests to contact us if there are questions. To simply comment that the original fixtures and appliances of the house “barely works” is not true. Our Home is custom designed and built in the 70s with quality materials by a well-known Broadcasting Pioneer. We keep the architectural features of the House but we replace most furniture (furniture & appliances). As the House sits right on the edge of water, it faces wind up to 90 mph, salty air, and sand. The wear and tear will undoubtedly be greater than homes further in land. We maintain and replace essential systems (water, electrical, & heating) to ensure our Guests are comfortable. All our appliances are under warranty with Sears. As part of check-in process, we encourage our Guests to go through checklists and notify us if major items are malfunctioning. We have no such call from this group of Guests. Previous years, Castlewood by the Sea is tailored towards large families (30 Guests). Starting 2018, Lincoln City passed a new law limiting all Vacation Homes in Lincoln City with a max of 5 bedrooms and 16 people. We had no choice but to reduce the # of bedrooms to 5 plus + 2 sleeping areas (curtains). With a max 16 people occupancy, we reduced the # of beds to 4 Kings, 4 Queens, 1 Daybed and a Crib. If our Guests do not want to share Kings and Queens beds, we suggest Guests to bring sleeping pads, blankets to be placed on the Zebra tatami mats platforms. Since the new change, we have not updated the pictures because we have not taken new pictures. The photos of the Home are taken by one of our previous Guests, who is a professional photographer and as with any photographer lens, it may portray the house in a different light and color. The appliances, textures and finishes, fixtures of the Home are what it is. There is no misrepresentation of the House. We open up our Home to share so our guests can enjoy the astonishing view of the ocean. It’s a great place for family reunions and group gatherings as it is a uniquely built House of 6300 sqft with a span of windows and private stairways to the sand. We have gathered with friends and families to create special memories here which were ingrained through the serene view of the ocean and sky. Vacations at the beach allows us to relax with nature, to immerse ourselves in the ocean breeze, waves and beautiful sunsets. With such experiences, one is able to breathe and let go of trivial matters and stresses in life.
