Wonderful

Over the years we have stayed in different houses in Santa Rosa, this was the worst. House was just ok clean. There was no organization in the kitchen, and there were several dirty dishes and utensils. The WiFi was horrible, actually non existent. The community pool is in much need of resurfacing. Definitely feel we over paid on this trip.

Thank you, Rita, for sharing your experience with us. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. Cleanliness and organization are top priorities for us, and it’s clear we fell short during your visit. We will address the kitchen issues and ensure our team is more diligent in maintaining the home to the high standards we strive for.
We also understand how frustrating it can be when WiFi doesn’t work as it should, and we’re looking into this to prevent it from happening again. As for the community pool, we appreciate your input and will pass it along to the appropriate parties.
Your comfort and satisfaction are important to us, and we’re committed to making improvements. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.
This property met all of our expectations. It had easy access to the beach and easily accommodated our large family.

Reviewer Comments:
Lovely beach house exactly as pictured and decorated very nicely. Was very clean. Comfortable beds and lots of towels. Bring your own beach towels as none provided. Kitchen was wonderful and very well equipped. Tripped breaker in kitchen one evening wand it wasn't resolved until the following afternoon. Breaker box is in garage which you don't have access to. Unsecured Wifi using Turnkey network continually lost connectivity and eventually stopped working. Resolved quickly when Turnkey provided password for secured CenturyLink network. Enjoyed the 3 screened in porches but had a very hard time locking and unlocking the screen doors. The 3 beach chairs provided were terrible and should be thrown out. The pool is a short walk away and very clean. BBQ gas grill was very clean and came in handy.

Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. Please let us assure you that we value your feedback, and your comments about the beach chairs have been passed along to the homeowner for consideration. We do apologize for the issues you encountered and for the inconvenience that this has caused as well. It’s our highest priority to make sure our guests have the best experience possible, but if problems do arise, we try our very best to make things right in any way we can. It looks like we were able to send someone out to have the breaker flipped and provide the backup WiFi information, and we are so glad you called our 24/7 guest hotline to let us know about it. We will absolutely communicate this feedback to our local team to address this incident and ensure future guest issues are handled in a timely manner. By the way, you were wonderful guests, and we’re looking forward to hearing from you again.

Reviewer Comments:
This property was as pictured. Very comfortable furnishings. The description states ironing board and iron (only a place for one, bring your own if needed since not furnished). It mentions beach chairs available (only 3 the property sleeps 10)Housekeeping was mediocre at best. Had a few problems early on (tripped breaker in bedroom) Turnkey resolved it within 3 hours.

Hi Joelle,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We’re glad we were able to address the breaker issue after you contacted our 24/7 guest hotline. Please let us assure you that we value your feedback, and your comments about the ironing board and iron, and beach chairs have been passed along to the homeowner for consideration. We’ve since followed up with our Housekeeping Team to make sure that the home's cleanliness is of the best quality. By the way, you were perfect guests, and we’re looking forward to hearing from you again! -The TurnKey Team
The house was as picture, it was clean and there was enough space for everyone in our group. We loved the board games that they had available for the guest. The beach was at a walking distance. We are already planning on staying at the same place again.
We booked this property for a 3- night stay and were pleasantly surprised. Seldom does a rental live up to its marketing, but this one did. While not right on the beach, access was easy. It was one of the more pricey options, but worth it.
