We had a wonderful time staying at the Cliff House. The views are amazing from the deck. The hot tub was comfortable and soothing after a few hours of warming it up to optimal temperature from a starting temperature of 76. The King bed in main bedroom is comfortable, and that bathroom is large and convenient. We appreciated the reasonably priced option on our stay for late checkout at 2pm as well. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Gorgeous views and lovely living room. HOWEVER, the two en suite bathrooms are in terrible condition. Missing/broken drawers, cabinet door; peeling liner in tub, broken hand held shower holder in master bath, and there’s a major gash in the refrigerator door panel. The house was clean, but there are so many deferred maintenance and repair items, that it should not be rented again until everything has been fixed. For such a beautiful property, it is a travesty to let it sit in disrepair as it is now. So sad.

The views are spectacular, and the privacy of the home made for a very relaxing stay. We had an issue on check-in day when we didnt realized there was no hot water until 8 in the evening. But the Maintenance man, who was very kind,came out right away to resolve this and it did not put a damper on our stay. I would definitely recommend to anyone, and would even love to stay again one day.
