Remote locations do have problems with communications. There is no cell coverage at this location, and this was inconvenient. The DISH network also did not connect, but fortunately WIFI was working. There are technical solutions to the cell problem and I would suggest that is worth looking into.Every thing else was great.

Thank you for the review! We have upgraded all TV's to Smart Tv's and Dish is gone! Cell service in this area is not reliable but we do offer great WIFI at the home. I am sorry to hear you had trouble with service.

We had the most incredible stay at this property-it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless, beautiful, and thoughtfully prepared for the perfect girls' getaway.The home itself is absolutely stunning-immaculately designed, spacious, and even more gorgeous in person. Every detail felt elevated and intentional, creating such a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. And the jacuzzis... next level. They were the perfect touch for unwinding, laughing, and soaking in the entire experience together.What made our stay even more seamless was how amazing the property manager was—so communicative, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. Everything was ready for us, which allowed us to fully relax and just enjoy every moment of the weekend.We made the best memories here and are already talking about coming back. We did see that the property is currently for sale, and we're truly hoping it remains available on VRBO because it's too special not to share with future guests.This place is a gem-highly, highly recommend.

The best thing about this rental was the amazing location and the view of the ocean from every room in the house. We rented both the house and the guest cottage and loved watching the whales play and the seals sun themselves from our deck. The kitchen of the main house was well stocked with pots and pans, utensils, even some oil and basic spices etc. and since we cooked several meals there, this was important. The cottage had a very small kitchen but it would have worked for small meals. The coffee was furnished which is always a very nice touch! The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a washer and dryer in the house. Communication with the management company was good most of the time, except during booking when the price kept changing and the price originally discussed wasn't honored. Once we arrived, however, communication was good. There were really 2 main reasons I couldn't give this a 5 star rating. 1) It really needed a good cleaning. The cabinets were sticky and there was a lot of dust and some spider webs around. 2) the heat/air conditioner unit in the cabin didn't work. This would have been handy because it was hot in the afternoon but cold at night. However the repair person was due to come the day we left so that may not be an issue for future guests. All in all, I would stay there again as the pros definitely outweighed the few cons.
