Great location but house almost uninhabitable
This house is in a great location in Ocean Bay Park- it’s three houses from the beach, an easy walk from the ferry and an 10 minute bike ride to all the restaurants in Ocean Beach. The house has a lot of great amenities, like bikes and food beach chairs. As we knew from the description of the home it does not have AC. We thought being close to the beach would help with the lack of AC, however, it was so hot and humid in the house that all the furniture in the living room was damp. Damp to the point of being unusable. In fact, I mistakenly thought there was a leak in the roof because the couch was so wet and notified the owner. While it was clear from the photos that the house was rustic, the house is in worse shape than the photos depict. The outside deck is dilapidated and there are piles of garbage on the back deck. There were ants and ant traps all over the kitchen counter and instructions left for guests to wipe down the surfaces everyday to keep the ant problem under control. I get that ants are a problem even in luxury homes, but unfortunately all of these issues combined made the home almost impossible to relax in. We had the house rented for two weeks, but after evacuating for hurricane Henri halfway through, we decided not to return for our second week. Pam would not refund any of our payment.
