My good rating results exclusively from the location of the house. The house has a wonderful location just above the beach. Although it does not have direct beach access, this has not bothered us at all. The rooms themselves were clean and tidy and the house is modern furnished. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. The living room and bedroom have a terrace overlooking the beach.

But now to the negative things. As some guests have previously reported, the house has a big problem with ants. Ants are everywhere, whether in the living room, bathroom or kitchen. Although a spray is at hand, it is very disturbing. Especially in the kitchen it is disgusting. As soon as you put something in the dishwasher or even something in a closet, hundreds of ants are immediately there. It is essential that the owners remedy this situation as soon as possible. But what was even worse than the ants in the house was that during our stay there was a massive power outage throughout the region. We had tried to reach the supervisor of the object but this was not possible due the power failure. A flashlight was available but without batteries. After the power was switched on again, our massive problems with the house began. While we were asleep, the alarm system of the house switched on. We had no chance to deactivate it. Our try to reach the supervisor (she could not be reached over the weekend according to the mailbox announcement) the representative and the agency VACASA did not work. All this was about 2 o'clock at night. In a nearby hotel we tried to organize help via the landline telephone. This also did not work because no competent person could be reached by phone. After we were back in the house, the alarm shrieked again and clearly louder than before. We fled the house because we couldn't deactivate the alarm system. We stayed at the nearby hotel for that night. The following day we finally reached the supervisor of the object. After she gave us the code for the alarm system and we could turn it off and continue our stay. The accessibility and assistance of the supervisor as well as VACASA was miserable. Telephone requests as well as two "SOS mails" to VACASA have been ignored to this day. If the friendly staff of the hotel had not been so helpful, we would have had to stay in the car for that night.

location and style

some of the electronic equipment wasn’t functioning-

The amenities stated for the property included a hair dryer. There wasn't one, I called about it and was told I would be contacted by the local person. Never heard from anyone. Ants are still an issue -

the view was great of the ocean.

we saw a mice and ants in the home

No keys they give you the pin to the door lock. Super easy to use, safe, and secure. It is nice to show up, not have to deal with anyone, and start your vacation. Everything that we needed was there.

There was not much to not like. The only thing we were lacking on was coffee filters we were there for 5 days and there was only 4 filters. We did notice too that the bedroom door to the backyard was left unlocked when we got there.

The place was exactly as it promised. The photos were so good, that I was nervous that they didn't show some major flaw. It was great. The house was warm and easy to keep heated, which is important when it is so cold and rainy on the beach walks. There was plenty of hot water to make it possible to really enjoy the beautiful claw foot tub. And the kitchen was well equipped and room enough for two to cook comfortably which is great in this time of isolation.

It could have been clearer that there was not beach access, but it was close. While the ad didn't promise beach access, the pictures did lead me to think there was and I know the area, so I knew it was possible there.

Loved the charm of this well-restored, updated, beach style home; the exceptional warmth and comfort in the middle of a storm, and the immediate response from the host manager when I had a minor question. Quiet. Outrageous view and close to--though not on--the beach. AND a really good off season rate!
