Double Booked

This unfortunately was a bad experience. We entered the VRBO to find that someone was already staying there. Suitcases and clothing out in each of the bedrooms. Chandler the host was completely non responsive. So my family of 3 with a kid didn’t have a place to stay.

Beautiful and Convenient

Absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. The place was clean. The waterfront view made for the most romantic sunsets. Close enough to SF for a quick trip, but far enough to escape the madness. Highly recommend for a quiet, relaxing trip.

Beautiful stay on the bay

This was our 3rd stay and everything was great. House was clean and adequately stocked for our needs, views and deck were amazing, and the sound of the water lapping under the house combined with comfy beds made for a good night's sleep.

Amazing property in the wayer

Better than the photos. We sat out each evening on the deck with the fire pit lit, listening to the sound of the waves lapping below and around us. Interiorm of property was fabulous. Bed soo comfy. Even though this was a base for SF trips, we enjoyed the property stay just as much as SF. Ferry just 2 min Uber trip away and lovely 50 min ferry ride to SF.

The view from the deck was beautiful and the inside had some very nice updates. Beyond that I would not recommend this property. When we reached the house, the cleaning was not completed even though we arrived about 20 minutes after check in was scheduled. The cleaner did apologize and we just waited in our car until they had finished as it had been a very long day of travel. The very first day we had issues with one of the two air conditioners and several of the TV's. We sent a nice email to the host asking about these things and never got a response. In addition, the outside was a mess, from torn cushions on the patio furniture, to broken boards on the chairs, to totally destroyer stools standing alongside the building, to a rusted out grill, as well as a gas firepit that didn't work, and an outside sink full of garbage or the mountain of trash on the back deck, it was totally disappointing besides the view. Lastly there was a serious ant problem in the kitchen which I would assume is being caused by all of the trash outside. The only communication that came from the host on the third day while we were out exploring San Francisco, after not responding to our earlier questions, was to ask if we could take the trash up the long walkway to the parking lot since it was garbage day. This was a very disappointing stay.....with just a little work and investment this could be a wonderful location....but currently it is NOT!!

The other reviews are accurate

I began contacting the owner days before our stay due to the other reviews indicating some delays in getting in. I ended up contacting VRBO the morning of and they reached out and the owner promptly sent the instructions. I wasn’t traveling far and didn’t want to arrive “on time” and be stuck waiting for instructions or even cleaning. I figured if the place was in an awful state, I would even be willing to drive back home. Of note: the property is down a lengthyish walkway and I wish I had brought my wagon.We arrived about an hour past check in and found the place in disarray. Trash not taken out, sheets not washed, bed not made. One of us began washing the sheets while the other began unpacking the car. The second bed was made/not untidied. About 3 hours AFTER check-in, the cleaning crew arrived. We were already comfortable and had taken care of it ourselves so we sent her away. There’s a lack of attention and communication between the owner and his clean up crew which is evident from every other review on this listing. If you don’t mind potentially washing your own sheets, it’s a cheap place to stay where you can hear water.

Our Stay

The place is cool to stay at—the neighborhood you have to go through to get to it not so much. There could be more attention to detail on a few things. There was one spoon, no cutting board, and all other VRBOs I have been to have had basics like ziploc bags and such. I couldn't find dishwasher tabs to run the dishwasher when we left. There were broken stools that I am not sure why they weren't just discarded. Views were great and overall it was clean!

Everything was a little off

I chose this house for location. It was nice being on the water, but so many things were off. You cannot park near the house. Many of the doors are difficult to open or close. There was no power when we arrived. It was not a breaker issue. It was a failure to pay the bill issue. After getting a hold of Chandler, he got it taken care of fairly quickly. When is the air conditioners does not blow cold air. Many of the windows do not have screens or screen doors. There was one knife and one spoon to work with in the kitchen. The bed frame was being held up by paint cans and fence boards. We found this out because when my daughter laid on the bed, the mattress fell so we had to re-adjust the boards and paint cans. The washer and dryer were great! The bedding was comfortable! The view was beautiful

Great Place, Lacking Information

Great place. My friends and I loved it. Reviews have been mixed. It seems that details are being taken care of over time. I messaged the host twice, asking if it was okay to arrive a little early. After no reply, I called Vrbo and was given the host’s number. He responded quickly to a couple of texts. The day before our trip, I texted again, and left a voice message, as one of my friends was concerned about reviews. Granted, this was just before the trip; but the host never responded. So his communication was good at first, and then nonexistent, besides sending entry details via Vrbo the day of the trip. We noted that there are no instructions on the listing about taking care of linens and towels when departing, about garbage and recycling (and the outside garbage was full), how to use the televisions, etc. It would be useful to have more information on such things. The lock to the sliding door to the deck was completely nonfunctional; it should be an easy fix for a locksmith, and having dowels for both sliding doors would be good. We weren’t too worried, as one would otherwise need to get through or over the locked wooden gate to access the house, or get onto the deck from the water. We had chosen this place in part because it has air conditioning. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot, as the AC unit in one bedroom rattled so loudly that it would be impossible to sleep with it running. We truly did enjoy our stay and would definitely return.

Laundry was left i the dryer. The home was left without paper towels and toilet paper. The trash was overfull and never picked up and bags were left stacked on the back porch, weeks of trash! We loved the location and the homes atmosphere but the host had to be called because a local took the reserved parking stall while we were at dinner. After several attempts he responded.

The property is in a great location, but is on need of maintenance and TLC. There was trash piled up outside on the deck and in a deck box. Ants swarmed the kitchen several times. No latches on the sliding glass doors. The air conditioner in the one bedroom was grinding and banging until the fan blew up. The lock on the gate did not work due to dead batteries.

I read the reviews and I was worried but the house was clean and ready when we arrived. Yes there is a little walk to the house but not much. Parking was a little confusing and we were approached by another resident in the area about parking but not much of a hassle. The house so peaceful and relaxing. The ac in the one bedroom was very loud but we opened the window and it was fine. I would definitely stay again.

At this point he is a crook to me

Disastrous, was told i could check in at 4, when I got there it hadn't been cleaned. Chandler lied to me and said it was because the cleaners went to the laundry mat since the dryer broke. However all the dirty laundry was still piled up. We left and he said he would get the cleaners over their. At 930PM he said they werw done. We finallly got back there at 11PM and the cleaner was still there. He told us he disnt have tome to do laundry so there should be 1 clean towel. He said he would take 50% off, then just stopped responding to all messages.
