The house is a bit run down.It's very very awkward upon arrival. You pull into the driveway, but it's actually the back of the house. You have to walk all the way around through dried up weeds. There is no walkway or pathway or stepping stones or pavers to show you the way to the front door. The porch is dinky and dangerous. You barely have room to move around without falling off the edge. The lockbox was a bit tricky and it's clunky and makes opening the door difficult. I was disappointed to find out there was no ocean view. I really was hoping for that. The kitchen is very well stocked. Lots of plates, cups, wine glasses, silverware, cooking and baking ware. The refrigerator was adorable. It could have used basic spices like salt and pepper. The bathroom is small with no counter space. That's so frustrating. The shower was nice. We enjoyed the showerhead. There was a heater in the bathroom that was very much appreciated. It's old and dirty, but it was nice and warm in the bathroom. We sadly were woken up early on Saturday morning because the people across the street were drilling and hammering. There is a cute little market a short walk away. They make the sandwiches and soups right there. They were good. We didn't realize the home wasn't actually in Gualala. Anchor Bay is just a little neighborhood with that cute market and a couple of other shops if some sort. It's several miles north of Gualala. The hosts were easy to reach.
