Tim and Caitlin are lovely hosts, who are incredibly accommodating and responsive to messages. The house is spacious and in a great location. Would definitely stay again ##### Eluned P. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah V. 20 Feb 2026 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy The best thing about this house is the views but unfortunately a few other things let it down, particularly when the photos raised expectations. There are some things it would have been nice to know. There’s no street parking and a very steep driveway. It did fit our three cars but wasn’t ideal, with the resulting juggle and also it meant the spa (at the top of the driveway under the car port) had views of… our cars! The decor was mediocre, the oven and grill door broken and the bathrooms barely sufficient for three couples. It just wasn’t worth the high amount charged. We were expecting luxury but got 70’s needing a Reno! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/758c5e64-a36d-47c1-9a40-2f763ef5a433-1771576637033.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/52a33165-777d-4deb-a5f5-128e8cc9d0c6-1771576636386.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4c7001e-8c82-4ddb-9574-17521aa0668b-1771576637893.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sarah V.
