nice house, but only the front door and the back door open. no windows open. asked the owner where the keys were, and she said the tenants broke the locks. i asked in every room? she said yes, sorry. the window handles were removed in the lounge and no keys in the windows in any other rooms. the main bedroom smelled a bit like a taxi, not quite as bad, but masked with two different bad air fresheners that made the smell worse. other bedrooms smelt bad too. there's no wifi. there's signs to "the tenants" (not guests) on every wall, telling you how to sit on the couch, and saying things like don't clean the fridge surface or wash your sandy towels in "our" machine. there's no drier. wet clothes on the line get caked with sand. you can't use the shed. this place is actually on the beach, so every bit of outside gets covered in sand, inc your car, probably why you can't open the windows. sitting on the deck on a sunny day there no greater place to be. the view is gorgeous always. stuck inside on a windy day I really wished I'd gone elsewhere. owners were high maintenance, rang a number of times it turns until we spoke, just to say hi, made me sign an additional contract (that referenced the wrong online company) and also scan and send my licence. there's a big list of fees if you don't clean this or that properly. overall got the feeling they'd rather "tenants" never came to their house. also cars can drive on north beach - they frequently drive fast, and sometimes do donuts and party on the weekends - prob not for young kids. overall disappointing
