If you read the other reviews, you already know this rental has high praise for the location and the backyard pool - they are right! The backyard was the perfect retreat I was hoping for, and I found it quiet and relaxing. The spa/hot tub was a little daunting because it has manual controls, and the pool can get a bit warm like bath water for periods of the day when outdoor temps rise. The interior of the home was a little less than ideal for my preferences. The square footage is similar to my own beach home, however, it feels small because each room is very segmented. I cannot imagine having more than a couple of people stay. The dark and heavy furnishings and linens defuse the potential magic of this spanish bungalow, and make it quite dreary. The bedrooms are plenty big but the living room and kitchen lack open entertaining space. There is an outdoor dining table for about 8, but the eat-in kitchen is tiny. Lastly, the property needs a good deep cleaning, linens need to be replaced, and drawers and closets need to be reorganized. Things are just stuffed (without logic) into places, so it was difficult to find things. I will say the dishwasher and washer/dryer work very well. Most sheet sets are stained and dingy, and the draperies are covered in dust. In fact, a friend visited for one night and had such a horrible allergic reaction she barely slept. I really did enjoy the peaceful nature of this rental and the location was perfect to walk into town. It's a gem of a house, but I just did not care for the interior space and the overall dusty/dinginess of it.
