  Overall, this house doesn’t live up to the pictures. I understand that it is an old property, but it is less on the side of charming and more on the side of rundown. The family room and living room are great, but all other areas of the house are noticeably lower quality. The pool, which was the main reason we chose this property, is incredibly small and was not swimmable because it had so much debris and dirt in it. I emailed the property manager about how to get the pool heated and never heard back during our stay. As it turns out you need to go through a rundown shed that says keep door closed and find the heater among a bunch of other equipment.The neighbor is also not great. I know the owner replied that there are multimillion dollar homes, but a quick Zillow search would tell you that is not true. This property might be fine for adults only, but it was a disappointment for my family and we ended up cutting our stay short to find a pool we could actually swim in.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Justin, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed to hear this one didn’t meet expectations for your family. We shared your feedback with the homeowner, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We recently renovated and repainted the home throughout to give it a fresh feel while preserving original features like hardwood floors, high ceilings, and early 1900s craftsmanship.
  - We have the pool professionally serviced once a week, but with recent high winds and storms in the area, it’s possible that debris blew in during your stay. We’re always happy to assist our guests and are just a quick call or text away.
  - Our home is located in the historic Del Mar neighborhood, just a few blocks from Ocean Drive, where property values range widely and include multi-million dollar homes.
  We’re sorry to hear this stay fell short and appreciate you sharing your thoughts so the homeowner can continue improving for future guests.

  Great location and very roomy. Lovely home and decor. Have stayed before. The AC upstairs was not cooling as we would have liked. Previous stay had no AC issues. We would probably stay again as consider this a one off.
