The home was spacious, clean, and comfortable with incredible views. The well-appointed kitchen worked well for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
There are just a couple of things that potential renters need to know before booking:
1. I booked knowing there was a good chance of rain in Feb and figured that since the photos showed a fireplace, we could just enjoy playing board games and guitars inside by the fire. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to find a sign by the fireplace that said, "Not for Guest Use". I was deflated. I paid quite a premium and specifically looked for a place with a fireplace. After arrival, I double-checked the listing and a fireplace is not specifically listed in the amenities, so maybe I should have been more careful, but it did not say anywhere specifically that it was not available to renters. That's on me and I will always double check amenities despite what the photos show. RENTER BEWARE! Maybe the homeowner/listing agency could state the fireplace is not available for use and not show it in images posted online? I have rented many places along the North Coast and always had access to the fireplace. The Sonoma/Mendocino coast is the place for a fire and sadly this property does not allow that or make it very clear.
The only other drawback is the shampoo and conditioner. You might want to bring your own from home. The powder shampoo and conditioner left our hair like sticky straw. Just bring your own.
Great home, just no fireplace.
