Beautiful but not what I expected
Positive Aspects: This VRBO is located in a quiet gated neighborhood and has breathtaking views. The bedrooms and kitchen area provided the perfect accommodation for our family of five.Areas for Improvement: one morning, my son was startled awake by water dripping onto his bed due to a leak during rainfall.The deck stairs to the ocean trail had been reinforce by wedging a 2x4 under, but ended up falling a foot as my child and i went down them.There are no pictures of the path to the ocean side deck for a reason. The path is rugged and made from various rocks.The ocean deck looks cool in the pictures, but once down on the deck the path to get to the water included a calculated procedure to move between large rocks that is not child friendly.Hot water for the building is provided by a solar heat system. You must monitor usage at night to ensure hot water in the morning.The constant surveillance from the Ring doorbell and camera felt intrusive.The pool was not very well taken care of. The water was very cloudy and the chlorinator was empty when we arrived. Being a pool owner, I could tell that the chemicals were off, and after a few days I ended up adding a tablet to the chlorinator and the water defiantly cleared up over my remaining days.Overall, while the home offered stunning views and adequate living spaces, the issues with water leakage, safety hazards, ocean access, and maintenance shortcomings detracted from our experience. Not sure it was worth the cost.
