Beautiful house, ample space and rooms, ideal location with a great view. A few things definitely need some maintenance on the property and some items need to be updated such as the bedding (i.e stains, rips and tears). I would here stay there again but would plan to bring some of my own items (i.e bedding)

Jenna, I don't know how such terrible bedding got onto your bed. If that was caused by the previous guests, It should have been seen and the bedding destroyed. My cleaning lady said she had replaced the bedding. I'm not sure about the need for property maintenance. Jonathan

The view is very nice. The house is not new like the listing says, and the bedding is old and lumpy. The check-in process was a bit problematic. I suggest a lockbox for the door key in the future.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2026
I'm glad you liked the view. 120 degree view of the ocean. The house is 20 years old. I'll think about changing the "new" designation. I'll check on the bedding. My directions are to call my caretaker, and go to her house, and let her lead you up to mine. I believe the information she provides in the house with you is better than a lockbox.I hope you come back.

The property was beautiful, clean and well equipped. Communication was quick and fluid both with Jonathan and the local house attendant. We travelled there with an EV and were counting on there being an EV charger, but what we found was only a regular outdoor outlet for drip charging. That should probably be specified in the listing.The bathroom drain unexpected broke near the end of our stay turning it into an emergency situation, but both of them were on top of their game to communicate, help us leave with no worries and a complete refund was offered and processed before we needed to ask.These things can happen anywhere but they managed the situation with professionalism and empathy.

I believe in as natural an environment as possible for a vacation home. The view of the ocean is profound, and for early risers, the southeast exposure allows for an inspiring dawn.

It was a major communication disaster with check in. Thank you to Vrbo for assistance and the host for finding resolution. However, the monetary compensation did not change the experience. Yes, we did finally get in, and the areas were cleaned after we arrived, but it was beyond stressful. Thank you to my niece who reached out to Vrbo on my behalf and the host contacting me the next day. Also, to the caretaker we tracked down in the community that cleaned areas that needed desperately needed to be cleaned. It was not cleaned from having guests prior and appeared it had been closed for several months by the large number of dead flies

I have been surveying my reviews, and now see yours. I was aware of the many difficulties at the time. VRBO had always sent me texts when a guest books or enquires, but instead sent an email. I did not see that. You emailed me on Monday and showed up on Thursday, to the surprise of myself and my caretaker. I have again requested VRBO to send me texts, not emails, and that is now happening. My cleaning lady likes to clean just before someone's arrival, so the area is fresh, as she says. However, in this situation, her method compounded the disaster. Again, my apologies. You were good guests. Jonathan
