The back deck is very relaxing and private which we appreciated. It's a great house for a weekend getaway. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is cute and very small but had everything we needed. I do wish there was a dishwasher...only because you are trusting other people's hand washing skills prior to your arrival. The area is very cool, all you really need is walking distance. All felt safe but very busy. Lots of traffic. I would probably replace the carpet. It does feel clean, but it is stained. And without AC (like many places in the area) carpet can smell a bit musty. A good breeze comes in the windows, but the house was always warmer than the outdoors. Overall, it's a cool house in a great location. ##### Lesa B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Joanne M. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### No air conditioning! The good: Fantastic location with amazing view of the bay from the front room, which has huge glass windows to take advantage of the views. Very convenient to walk everywhere we went and the beach was directly across the residential street. While the home was very clean, it’s pretty worn out and in need of basic maintenance. The not-so good (actually, horrible): I titled this review so that people don’t make the mistake we did during August. When we arrived, the house was sooooo hot! They left all the drapes open, letting the living area to become at lease degrees hotter than it was outside. The windows were shut tight and only 2 very low wind ceiling fans. There were other portable fans onsite. It was not comfortable until the next morning and only then because we opened windows and let the breeze in. We called property manager right away and the guy was very nice—said he’d send maintenance over “right away”. At 6:00, nobody had shown up, so we called again and there was a recording saying they were closed until 9 AM the next morning. They called back the next morning and I told them we had gotten it cooked down to around 80, but suggested they could help future guests by opening the windows, closing drapes of non-opening windows, and turning on the fans. It actually ruined our first day and night at the property because it was so uncomfortable. I don’t think they will change their practices, but it’s such an easy fix that it doesn’t make sense not to. ##### Joanne M.

The nightly rate was very competitive with other rentals. Check in was super easy. Neighborhood was quiet. Having a small kitchen was ideal for us. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Daryl S.

The garage, rate, view, and location are really wonderful. Having rented many times on the peninsula over the years its nice to not have to negotiate an alley. It feels like a neighborhood. Glad we chose this place. ##### Bob B. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Ethan S. 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Very Basic amenities. No hot water last 2 days. Close to everything. Not a great place to spend time in but a place to sleep and with VERY basic amenities. Tiny bathroom. Hot from the afternoon on but cools off by midnight.We didn’t have hot water the last two days. Repair half hour before checking out but we’re were told we could have an extra hour to check out because next guests had it booked. Not sure how they were going to clean in between with no hot water. Still no hot water by checkout time. Disappointing. ##### Ethan S.

Sleeps 4 in beds, 2 sleeping pads, but bring your own bed linens for pads. 2 portable fans in closet. ##### Shauna O. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ---
