NIGHTMARE. Host was grumpy since Day 1. After the Host waited to inform me the unit was ready just 5 minutes before check-in time, I drove to the unit and upon arrival, the place looked like a DUMP. Garage door was wide open and COMPLETELY FULL of junk as well as the yard, I thought I was in a homeless area. Rental unit looked VERY OLD and run down and once inside, you could hear people walking and talking above you. Unit was DIRTY inside and LOUD. Wi-Fi service was PATHETIC at 15mbps. Tried to sleep at 11 PM (on a mattress so thin my body sunk into the frame), but it was IMPOSSIBLE due to tenants literally 6 feet above my head in the bedroom walking, talking, scraping, dropping, doors, drawers, etc. Travelocity & VRBO noted that if there were problems to contact the Host directly. Texted Host = no answer. Texted Host again 20 minutes later = no answer. Called Host = no answer. Since there was no way to sleep due to the ongoing noise above me at MIDNIGHT, I had to load up my car and drive an hour and half back home. VACATION RUINED. Host finally got around to texting me back the next morning, said that he was sleeping when I tried to reach him and that the tenants above my bedroom head "....were probably making Dinner". Making Dinner at Midnight? Host REFUSED to do the right thing and DID NOT REFUND ANYTHING. VRBO did NOTHING to help and told me work it out with the Host. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND this unit or Host. NEVER AGAIN.
I am leaving a 1 star review because the owner never contacted me on the first day (or any day after) of my stay to give me the code to enter the in law unit. The description says that he lives upstairs, so I drove to the house and knocked on his door and no answer. I then called VRBO for help and they couldnât get a hold of him. Hope nothing bad happened to him. If I had gotten some communication from him, I probably wouldnât have left this 1 star review.
Make sure to notice no sink it what is lil kitchen area . They had dirty/greasy plastic dishes. If you needed to wash or rinse anything it was in gross bathroom sink that clogged up in 5 secs (not made for dinner debris) The coffee maker did not work and we had to buy one. No fan in bedroom so bought that too. Tried communicating mid April to extend time. Right away said he has another avail for 3 night. I asked to pay and join. No response so I msgd, hello, is everything ok. His response, hello. Why wouldnât it be. Told wait til June 1, it took 8 days for him to respond. Check back w me. 5 days and told to wait. Flew in Day from TN 6/13, I get response about 7 pm that he canât provide another location. And thanked us for coming in late to give them time to clean. The only reason he responded was bc I messaged him saying weâll be there late, but we are coming from Sacramento airport.The goal to thank us for giving him more time to clean. All along, I was communicating with VRBO on what was going on with this guy. They told me to send a specific msg to him and he did not respond. Finally able to say truth. This is not 165 ft from sand. Itâs a block and still nice but donât lie. Also, the people that live above do not care your down there. So loud. They have stairs they run up and down and a chair they roll across room constantly. Now, I go back to VRBO Every review I read was a lie. The place was filthy. Pics show it all AND TIME STAMPED
Very convenient location for Half Moon Bay. Walking distance to the beach and very short drive to the harbor. Walking distance to some restaurants. The property itself is good for a short stay and as advertised. Cleanliness was 8/10.
Great location. Property as described. It is a beach rental as described. We had a great time with beach very close and walked to an excellent restaurant.
Perfect location just a brief walk from the beach, plenty of room, easy check in and the perfect distance to walk up the beach to dinner in El Granada!
