Abalone Point: Oceanside Panoramic View Home

We are a bit perplexed as to why our house layout was considered odd. In the 15 years of renting & many, many 5 star reviews, we have been told numerous times how families love the size of the great room which includes the large kitchen, dining area, game area and huge couch in front of the large tv and lots of windows with ocean views. The house also offers a quiet area in loft for someone who needs to work while visiting or wants a quiet space to read on the window seats. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with no necessary sharing of bathrooms. The "Casita" might be considered unique because it is detached from main house but this second master suite has a private deck and own bathroom. Many guests find this area wonderful for the couple who needs quiet and a place to sleep in late without the noise of early risers. Our checkout list was modeled after those used by the property managers in the area. Unlike a hotel, guests are asked to follow simple instructions such as turning off heat, closing shades, locking up, turning off lights, running dishwasher, striping the beds. The list is easily managed in a short amount of time, especially if guests divide it up between them. We arrived the next day after these guests and discovered 5 outdoor lights left on. We do appreciate the help of guests who follow the list & help keep PGE bills reasonable. We have been fortunate to have most of our guests happy to help with maintaining our house to its high standards.
