Beware of Misleading Property Description
Before you book the Lincoln House, there are some things you should know:
1. It is NOT two blocks from the beach. If you walk in a straight line from the house to the coast, it's at least five blocks, and that brings you to a cliff that overlooks the beach. But there is no way down to the beach. You'll have to walk several more blocks for beach access.
2. There is no "fireplace." There is an electric wall heater that has a somewhat entertaining display that resembles a fireplace. It's just a pretty electric heater. Don't expect to huddle up to a cozy fire because there is no fire.
3. The deck that is so prominently featured in the pictures of the house was cordoned off with yellow caution tape when we arrived. It was unusable to us for the entire length of our stay. Frankly, the landing just outside the front door should probably have been cordoned off as well. The joist connectors that support the deck and landing are rusted through in many places--to the extent that the posts that are supposed to be supporting the deck do not actually contact the deck joists. There is also wood rot in many places on the landing, including just outside the front door.
4. When we arrived, we were greeted by the stench of an overflowing garbage can located at the base of the stairs that lead to the front door. It took two days to get the garbage collected.
5. We had a party of eight. The house was adequate for that size of a party.
