Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Sitka House - needs a little help
Review of our stay:
First the positives:
Great location, just over the dunes to the beach. On a quiet residential street, no noisy neighbors.
Great view from the front windows – beach and sunset
Plenty of birds and some wildlife right outside the door.
Parking was convenient and adequate
The house was clean and neat upon arrival
Good communication with Sunset to Sunset Rentals by phone and text, and they are located on the main street in Manzanita
Now the negatives:
Mr. Coffee maker is old. Get a new one so you can pour coffee while it is brewing. Currently cannot, missing parts in brew basket
Bathrooms (all) need new fixtures – most are losing their finish, and look gross
Downstairs mini bathroom needs a new shower pan or door. It is not usable, as the water leaks out when in use. We paid for 3 bathrooms, but could only use two.
We discovered dog hair on one of the bedspreads after a couple of days – yuck
Linens - stains on comforters & sheets in both queen bedrooms, as well as ratty looking towels
Refrigerator runs almost continuously, but does keep food cold and makes ice. Again, showing it’s age
Kitchen table shows wear (top finish is almost gone). Need refinishing or replacing
Clothes washer is also showing it’s age – Rusty and very noisy
Conclusion:
Overall, this property has great potential, but not in it’s current state. Upgrading, or just maintaining to current standards would justify the current pricing. As it is, it is over priced for the market comparables.
