The location was great! The house was awesome- the pool and jacuzzi were super clean. Nice little walk to s-turns to surf, or to play pickleball. Would definitely come back:)

Needs to be cleaned.
The black mold coming out of most of the HVAC vents made my wife pack the family up and leave after 2 days. It also didn’t look like a cleaning service had visited before our stay.

problems
first off first night tried to use hot tub but the railing around it was broke, also our kids was swing in the play area they show and the board left loose and fell with ladders and everything else they had up there luckily they wasn't hurt. We called and no one got ahold of us til halfway through our trip. then we had mold in the washer, and 2 days it rained, we was setting on the couch watching a movie and the roof started leaking really bad everywhere. We took videos it was crazy. Called again talked to someone said they was going to send someone out. they never did because the second time when it rained it happened again. We feel we should get some money back for this, but that won't happen. I would look elsewhere to stay.
View is beautiful from top floor, excellent set up at pool
Good

Black Mold and Overall Dirty
Positive aspects: what appeared to be newer, comfortable mattress for both king beds. Location to beach and access to highway 12 was perfect. Nice quiet neighborhood and beautiful sunsets.
Room for improvement: there was black mold coming out of all HVAV vents. The house, carpet, and furniture were extremely dirty, needing an overall deep clean. We would have left due to these factors but my son was very excited for this trip after a hard year. To stay I had to buy swiffer to clean the floor in the kitchen/dining area and bought blankets to cover the couches. Also cleaned overall surfaces in areas we were using. It was disappointing to have to clean the space when this was not part of the agreement. Also the black mold was concerning. Tried to spend as much time outside as possible.
