The best thing about this house is the views but unfortunately a few other things let it down, particularly when the photos raised expectations. There are some things it would have been nice to know. There’s no street parking and a very steep driveway. It did fit our three cars but wasn’t ideal, with the resulting juggle and also it meant the spa (at the top of the driveway under the car port) had views of… our cars! The decor was mediocre, the oven and grill door broken and the bathrooms barely sufficient for three couples. It just wasn’t worth the high amount charged. We were expecting luxury but got 70’s needing a Reno!

Hi Sarah, We are sorry to hear that the home did not meet your expectations. We have reviewed the images and they do accurately show the home as it is, while also showing the panoramic view. We explained that the spa is situated in the front entry to allow guests to enjoy the stunning sunsets while in the spa. The home features 2 bathrooms each with a toilet and shower which is ample for 3 couples.
