  Five minute walk to the beach and historic lighthouse. 5 minute drive to coffee and groceries. Plenty of room for 6.

  Love the elevator, the upstairs open living, dining room and kitchen. With lots of windows and a limited ocean view. Did not like not being able to close all the drapes at night, and the heating system works well downstairs but poorly upstairs. It has a great back yard. I would stay there again some time. We came to watch the last round of king tides at shore acres state park, which is a couple of miles from this rental, too bad the road at Norton Gulch was closed due to flooding.

  BAD THINGS: First night our boat was parked under the overhang, our 6 gallon fuel tank full of fuel was stolen. We had reserved a slip in the Marina for the remainder of the time.When we tried to use the propane tank to boil our crab, it was empty. We had to take it in and pay $30 to fill it. Our last night there with the boat back from the Marina, parked in the driveway, our boat lights were unscrewed and someone tried to remove them!The dials on the stove are all worn off and it was hard to determine what was on high or low. The blinds in the bedrooms (dirty) need to be replaced. The blinds in the upstairs and downstairs rooms were bent or ripped. Air vents need to be cleaned.There were spots on the solid color light brown rug throughout the house. We were only left 4 rolls of toilet paper and 2 on the roller that were 1/4 left. We had to go and buy more. TV only in the downstairs area. None in the family room off the upstairs kitchen.Good Note:The backyard is beautiful and serene and peaceful. The new elevator was very nice compared to the older narrow spiral stairway.There were spices and miscellaneous things in the kitchen. Alot of pans and dishes.The couches were comfortable. They need a few more in the downstairs area.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Martin, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the backyard and found the location convenient. We’ve shared your feedback with the homeowner, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We are aware that the outdoor chairs are showing some wear and plan to replace them as soon as we find a suitable option. In the meantime, there are additional lounge chairs available in the storage room downstairs for guests to enjoy.
  - The property is equipped with a classic charcoal grill. Although charcoal isn’t provided, many guests have found this option perfect for coastal cookouts.
  - There is a propane stove available for boiling crab or other outdoor cooking needs. We typically provide two propane tanks, but previous guests may not have refilled them. We’ll be double-checking this to make sure future guests have a more seamless experience.
  - We intentionally placed the TV in the downstairs family room to maintain a relaxing atmosphere in the main living and dining areas upstairs. This arrangement helps keep the upstairs space open for socializing and enjoying the ocean view.
  - The property is stocked with an initial supply of four rolls of toilet paper, along with what’s on the rollers, which is meant to last for the start of the stay. We encourage guests to bring additional supplies if needed, especially for longer visits.
  - We have noted your concerns regarding the stove dials, blinds, air vents, and carpet spots. They’ve asked the housekeeper to inspect and address these areas to ensure the home remains comfortable and well-kept for future guests.
  - It is also important to note that the property has a motion-activated security camera covering the carport area. We haven’t found any activity suggesting unauthorized access. After hearing your feedback we were concerned and viewed the video footage, which does show that you had a red gas tank in the boat the evening you arrived and were still there the following morning, but we recommend contacting the local sheriff's office if you'd like to file a report to ensure your concerns are addressed thoroughly.
  Thanks again for your feedback as we work to make each stay as enjoyable as possible. We hope to host you again and provide an even better experience on your next visit.
