Enjoyed the location, the view (except for old building across the street). Comfortable beds. A bit of landscaping would go a long way but overall a good week.
We stayed at this property for a week with a group of 10. While the space had potential, there were several issues that made our stay less enjoyable.First, the listing says it sleeps 10, but there was realistically only enough space for 8 to sleep comfortably.The biggest issue was the water. It went out almost daily during our stay, and although three different people came to try and fix it, the problem was never fully resolved. It made basic daily needs like showering and cooking a constant challenge.In terms of the view, while the ocean is visible, itâs partially obstructed by a dilapidated house directly to the right, thereâs what appears to be a condemned building with questionable activity happening around it, which made us feel uneasy at times.This property has potential, but it needs reliable utilities, a more accurate description, and attention to the surrounding environment to be a more comfortable and relaxing place to stay.
While the photos of the view from this facility are not inaccurate, they are also not a full depiction of the home. First, there is indeed a large and one of the most dilapidated buildings I've ever seen right across the street, obscuring your view to the right.The property itself looks like it was one time a very beautiful yard. However, it is overgrown and uncared for. Most importantly, inside the property appears to be an old farm house that someone converted to rustic cabin.... there is a definite odor to the house, the decor haphazard and mismatched. The house was baking hot when we got there and it is not air conditioned. We began opening windows both to cool it off and air out the smell. Several of the windows did not have screens including in the master bedroom. We had to move around screens to be able to cool off that area of the house.The home was generally clean but looking under the beds and in corners you could see it needed a deep clean.In terms of how it was appointed, the beds were not awesome, the bedding did not include a comforter, there were no facecloths or hand towels provided (although we found some in a dresser), hanging rods in the closets were either non existent or installed haphazardly, towels had a musty smell to them, the kitchen had random jars of things that were not labelled, and the owners things were placed throughout the property. If you are not fussy about these things, then you may enjoy a stay here. But otherwise beware.
We enjoyed our 4 night stay at The Lodge. The ocean view and sunrises were awesome. The house was comfortable and had lots of room to hang out when we were not out checking out all the nearby attractions. Could maybe use a few more plates and cutlery along with dish towels which we could not find. All around a good first Vrbo experience.
