This property has fabulous views and a great location. But for a long-term rental (we stayed for 9 weeks), we do not recommend it.
The house has magnificent views and a fantastic location, but it is severely “dated” in its amenities and is not well-appointed for the suggested 8 person accommodation. The televisions are old and do not provide either the sound or picture quality expected within the last few years. Plus, none of the guest rooms have tvs or electronics of any kind. The kitchen, dishes, utensils, appliances, and equipment are old, broken, chipped, dirty, unmatched or missing. There are barely enough plates or utensils for 4 people, let alone eight. The toaster oven is small, out-of-date, and has caked-on grease. The refrigerator makes loud noises every time the ice maker goes on. The coffee maker smells burnt when in use. The knives are dull. The pots, pans, broiler trays and baking pans are old, mis-sized and clearly not what a home cook would expect. We had to purchase a saucepan, a dish drainer, spatulas, water glasses, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, tissues, sponge, dishwashing gloves, food storage containers, bottle brush, and plastic ware. Some of the patio furniture is broken, or extremely uncomfortable. The carpeting in the bedroom is stained. The house did not supply a tablecloth. The towels are old and not very absorbent. Furthermore, it would be very difficult for older people to manage taking out the garbage and recycling down a long steep driveway.
As for the property manager, Vacasa, the best thing we can say is that there is interesting music played while on hold with their guest services. Their 24/7 guest services hot line is a joke. They very politely tell you the local office will be contacted, but they never confirm anyone responds, nor do they provide any substitute assistance if the local office does not or cannot respond. We went with no water softener for 4 weeks; and no Internet connection for 5 days. There was no assistance with broken patio furniture or burnt out lightbulbs in the kitchen at all.
