This is a very candid review substantiated with photographs. We had hopes for a relaxing, peaceful location.
Pros: Proximity to Paia, beaches.
Beautiful structure!
Cons: Very noisy!
Gravel driveways for multiple properties
immediately abut the front and rear of rental.
Vehicles in and out during night.
Small dog at neighbors directly adjacent to
property yapped the entire stay. Renter in front
unit chirped car alarm nightly when returning
(once at 3:00 am).
The smaller rental in front is very close.
Their lights shine directly into this unit. There are
no window coverings on this unit in the
sitting/kitchen area, so there is no privacy due to
the front rental unit looking directly in. The front
unit does have a pull down shade covering on the
exterior windows.
Smoke detector/alarm was taped up with black
duct tape in bedroom. (?)
On the last day when I retrieved an item dropped
behind the bed, discovered someone's eye
blinders, a used foam earplug, nasty dust/hair
on the floor under the mattress which was on a
wood slat frame.
*** Photo's were taken of smoke detector concern,
items/dirt under bed, lights from adjacent
residence shining into unit.
