The view is outstanding on this property, although for the prize, I would’ve expected the hot tub to be pristine. It was dirty and not filled all the way to the top. The windows were dirty. Overall, I thought it was priced too high for it being as dated as it was. The view and easy access off of Highway one where the positives.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 June 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed the incredible views and the convenient location. We're sorry the windows didn't meet your expectations during your stay. Coastal homes on the bluff are especially challenging to maintain, as the ocean mist and fog can quickly leave salt residue on the windows, even shortly after they've been cleaned. That said, we understand your disappointment and appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we can address it with our team. We hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
