The property was clean and had the space and amenities described, and the host was responsive and helpful in correcting some of the issues he could during our stay. We were in Dana Point for a wedding, so we didn’t explore much of the surrounding area, but we did enjoy having the pool and hot tub at the house.There were, however, several inconveniences. All of the lounge chairs around the pool were broken, so we had to use folding chairs or sit upstairs overlooking the pool. There were also random items left outside on the patio, which made the property feel less maintained than the photos suggest.The air conditioning worked, but was very uneven—the living room would be freezing while the bedrooms stayed hot at night. The bed pillows were also extremely uncomfortable. There was no hand soap or trash bags when we arrived, the previous guests’ trash was still in the garage and smelled bad, and one of the showers leaked heavily onto the floor when used.Overall, the house met our basic needs, but it feels noticeably more worn in person than the new and pristine photos suggest. With some maintenance and attention to the details, it could be a much better stay.
