This was our second time staying at this home for the Thanksgiving holiday week. We stayed in 2021, and returned in 2023, as it has a wonderful kitchen for preparing a holiday meal, and is such an amazing location. For the most part, it is an awesome home, with great spaces for family time, dining, and restful sleep. The beds are pretty comfortable, with ample and clean linens. You can hear the waves and nearby sea lions at night, which is pretty cool!
The kitchen is a wonderful meal prep space, however, this time we did notice some deferred maintenance issues that need to be addressed. For some reason they have disconnected the electricity to the hood over the range, so lighting and ventilation is an issue when cooking. Also, there were no hot mitts to be found anywhere this time, which made it extremely precarious to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. We ended up using wash cloths in desperation. Otherwise, we really enjoy the size and layout of the kitchen.
The switches for the recessed lighting in the ceiling need replacing however, as the dimmer no longer works, and the lights pulsate due to the defective switches. And, if you plan on spending any time, watching TV, you may want to bring some extra batteries for the remote. Honestly, the remote just needs replacing. As I am recovering from a leg injury, we spent more time than normal relaxing in the home and watching TV, so this was an issue for us.
Overall, this is a great place to stay, and we would return again.
