It was an easy, no traffic, 10 minute drive to the trailheads of th redwood forest. And only 5 minutes to the ocean. The mist crept through the trees every morning. We had a beautiful view from the deck to the valley below. The kitchen was terrific for putting together some great family dinners. The big dining room table was perfect for cards and board games. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were very spacious. The house is beautiful and has everything one needs to relax and enjoy
Two tips: The gravel drive to the house is steep and intimidating. We found if we kept a steady pace up it went much more smoothly. Bring slip on shoes to keep by the door. Thereâs a no shoes in the house rule, which is fine. But slip ons make it easier to step outside
One complaint: I wasnât impressed with Vacasa. Their communication seemed haphazard. Sometimes it was through the app, sometimes text, sometimes email. Why not just use the app? Also, I requested permission for a third car parking spot a week before we left as is stated on the property description. The Vacasa person I contacted was completely unaware of the requirement and completely unhelpful. I was told to talk to the property manager when I got there. Of course, that would be too late as we would already be on our way in three different cars. As it turned out we pulled up just as the cleaning person was leaving. She was very welcoming and accommodating. I think Vacasa needs to smooth out their system
