Disliked: Cleanliness
Beautiful view and location, but not clean, grounds were a construction mess
The bad:
Upon arrival trash was left in the very tight parking area, at high tide the water will splash into your vehicle, new turf going down was in pieces & rolls all over the whole area, more construction materals littered all over the property & a huge stack of wood debris right as you walk to the stairs.
Upon entry, no info anywhere, had to contact owner for wifi info. The fridge looks horrible, but was clean enough for drinks. Cleanliness SEVERLY LACKS! The beds... where to begin. Extremely uncomfortable, comforters had rips, stains, & other I don't want to knows. Also, very outdated. We chose to sleep on top of the bedding as it was totally suspect. Carpet is stained, utensils were sticky, and we washed everything from the blankets we layed on & under to all kitchen wares before use. Huge tub, but not capable of being filled to enjoy, and everyone will wait for a warm shower. Towels had stains all over them. Bathroom cleanliness, again suspect, so we showered in our flops. Bedding, towels, and select utensils need to desperately be replaced.
The pros:
That view! Wow wow wow, no words can express the all around view. The unique home in itself is an incredible architectural beauty. Octagon in shape, with 2 decks/porches. 1 fully private just you, and the view. The other overlooks the neighborhood & bay.
I seriously would have asked for a refund due to the cleanliness. The deck & view saved it. We still paid to much to stay in a trashed construction zone.
