The location was excellent. The area was very safe and quiet and the walk to the beach was 5 blocks. The grocery store is about a 3 minute drive. There are plenty of eateries and coffee shops within walking distance. The kitchen had everything we needed to make family meals. We very much enjoyed the cute back yard. And communication with the host was easy. We had a great stay!

We stayed with our family in November. Great location, but several disappointing issues.The good: Easy check-in, good communication initially, a thoughtful welcome basket, and an excellent location just 5 minutes from nearly everything.Plumbing: After our first shower, both toilets backed up with sewage. A plumber found roots in the line and reportedly cleared them, so hopefully future guests won't experience this. Cleaner came, but later we discovered the kitchen sink had also backed up. We hadn't used the kitchen, so hadn't noticed earlier. Wastewater soaked our floor mat and socks. I sent the manager a video of the additional issue but received no reply. We ultimately spent 250 renting daytime pool access elsewhere to "clean off" during plumbing repair. Plumber\manager moved our suitcase only to find later at night under it was still water - yuck.Cleanliness: Comforters had stains. The rear bedroom had dirty tissues and candy wrappers left behind in drawers. The hallway near the bathroom smelled strongly musty. Maintenance: Broken oven door, screen door that barely stayed in place, and a pitch-black driveway due to a nonworking solar light hanging in tree.Comfort: The ensuite mattress was very hard. (Stated in prior reviews)Rental agreement: A broad indemnification waiver was required.We never requested a discount or compensation although I certainly believe it would have been in line. Wonderful location, but cleanliness, maintenance need improvement.

In response to Scott, we are very sorry for the problems that he encountered during his stay. As soon as we received a call from Scott and photos of the backup in the plumbing we informed the owner and immediately he sent his plumber to resolve the problem. The owner informed us that he had gone to the property, cleaned the showers and drains and that he had talked with Scott who was very cordial. On another note our regular cleaner was out of town and we had contracted another cleaner to do the cleaning. Sorry this was not done to our normal specifications. We however, did not receive any additional photos or texts from Scott about the kitchen sinks and other problems or we would have sent the cleaners back to the property. We thought all was taken care of and he was satisfied. We were out of town during this week or we would have personally gone to the property to make sure all cleaning was done properly. We have been in vacation rental property management since 2009 and always strive to provide the best accommodations and service possible. As a result of these problems we are refunding Scott one day's rental fee as compensation.
