was fun

this is a really fun place for kids that want to have a fun place to stay. we didn't use the loft because it was very dangerous looking. There are no windows in the downstairs area but the upstairs is really nice with lots of windows. it was fun having a hot tub but the temperature wasn't that high. but we enjoyed the outdoor seating near the hot tub anyway. Does not sleep as many as it says we were lucky we brought a cot with us. Don't get this place if your family likes privacy or their own space. the bathrooms are all inside of other rooms. 2 bathrooms are in bedrooms and one is in the living room/rec room area. I was happy with a full size stove and good cookware supplied. the fridge is a full size and a freezer in it all worked great. they provide a smoking area outside with seating.

Great place for families

Clean and inviting space. Plenty of room for the family to spread out. My kids loved the set up in the living room. Plus there are board games and toys for rainy days. Hot tub is such a bonus. My kids also loved that were was a near by park. They also think of things you might have forgotten like razors or wipes. Unrelated but make sure you check the address if you use location services for Uber eats. All around lovely place. Would book again.

Good, clean place to stay for a reasonable rate.

This property is not flashy for curb appeal, but a nice surprise inside. The bedrooms are very nice upstairs. The main floor is a bit of a "man cave", but very functional.

Spacious gem with a few quirks

Our hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. The property was clean, there’s lots to do in the recreation room downtime here was fun with the darts and games and streaming services. Lots of local flavor, parks, and coastal access nearby. Beds comfy, huge rock wall shower, lots of extra details to make the stay cozy. We struggled at check in since we didn’t understand the unit was divided into three units and it took some time figuring out where to park and which unit entry point to use. We were disappointed to not be told beforehand that the hot tub had unusual limitations. The hosts instructed us to not remove the cover except for half way which prevented us from enjoying the full dimensions and made a large hot tub only accommodate 2 people at a time. The cover being inches away from us made it difficult to enjoy the experience. The property includes a converted garage that has eccentric lighting. To illuminate the downstairs bathroom, one must use a light switch that also turns on a lot of lights in a sleeping area. We couldn’t find a way to use the ceiling fan without an entire bank of lights coming on which make it hard to stay cool on 75 degree days since there are zero windows in the downstairs area. So you can choose to have a darkened room or air circulation but not both at the same time. Something important to point out that we weren’t informed of — none of the three bathrooms have a door. Yes it got awkward. Quirky cool place overall.
