The Lakeside Overlook - Close to Everything!

Thank you, Diane! It was a pleasure to host you, I hope to see you back again!

Thank you Aaron, it was a pleasure to host you guys and I hope to come back. I am continually making small improvements as I can, the new sleeper sofa in place of the old futon seems to have been a huge upgrade and I hope to do a lot more before the next time you're here. Thanks again!

Thank you so much, angela! I hope that your next trip to the coast is soon, I'll look forward to hosting you again. It was super enjoyable to have you folks here this weekend, I'm glad you had a great time!

Thank you for your review. It feels a bit scathing, But I am extremely regretful that my unit did not meet your expectations. I have taken your criticisms very seriously, and have taken steps to make remediations. Let me address those quickly. First, I have replaced my management and cleaning and maintenance team. After you left, and left this review, I went and inspected the work being done and did indeed find that the crew in place at the time of your stay had not met my needs or requirements after your departure. They are gone, I have an amazing team in place now, and some safeguards to make sure that they are held accountable. Secondly, the cat... He's my old boy that I've had since he was 4 days old. He's now 20 years old and very much loved and well cared for. But he's 20 years old. I jokingly refer to him as my carport guard. The dog is my dog, and she likes to go in and out. My yard is a little smaller than it should be for a dog of her size, which makes it a challenge to keep clean but I do the best I can. I have since hired a gardener to help me with that. I do leave my back door open from the time I get up to the time I go to bed, because I like having the air flow and the weather here on the coast is perfect for that. Third, I have been very busy all summer with projects on the property, including the construction of the deck out front which was underway when you were here. That wasn't garbage, that was materials that you saw out front. I was also repairing my car in my driveway, so you may have seen some tools and what to an untrained eye may have appeared to be " mess " but that's what that was. That project is also done now. Fourthly, as to the cleaning and painting, the apartment was freshly painted two weeks before you arrival. We do collect a lot of dust here, and I understand with the cleaning crew being under expectation, it looked like they hadn't dusted the moldings for a while, which absolutely disregards my expectations.. part of the reason they were replaced. I am continually upgrading the property, and at the same time I've been in a 3-month project to fix damage done by a renter I had through the winter. The damage from that renter is actually a large part of the reason why the apartment had to be freshly painted very shortly before your arrival. The bags of trash are referred to were actually mixed stuff of theirs, and yes it has taken me a while to get rid of a literal ton. Thank you again, I appreciate your candor.

Thank you for all your feedback, sandy, I sincerely appreciate it. The grass lot next door was a bit overgrown, it hadn't been mowed for about a week. I apologize for that. The brand new sheets on the bed are 1500 thread count sheets and they weren't cheap, but I'm sorry you felt that they were. I am really disappointed that you were disappointed, and yes well the wind did destroy the patio furniture recently, we have since replaced it. It sucks that I didn't get that done before you got here, and I understand your disappointment and frustration with that as well. When you left today early, you indicated to me that it was because your geriatric dog was having a hard time with the stairs. I guess it's difficult for some people to just be honest. Sorry you had a bad time, hope your next adventure is more satisfying and to your liking.

Thank you, Lucas! It was awesome hosting you guys too!
