The house was comfortable and offered a beautiful view of Rio Del Mar beach, which was definitely a highlight of our stay. The kitchen was spacious, and we appreciated having TVs in all the bedrooms.That said, there were several maintenance and upkeep issues. Some items inside the home were in disrepair—such as a door that was coming off the wall (which the host addressed quickly by sending a repairman the next day). However, other issues like loose screws in chairs and a broken refrigerator handle had to be fixed by us during our stay.The exterior of the property could also use attention. The driveway appeared overgrown with weeds, and there were cobwebs around the outside areas, including the stairwell.One major drawback was the access to the house. There is a long outdoor staircase from the driveway down to the property that was not clearly described in the listing. This made unloading luggage challenging and was especially difficult for our older family members. While we expected stairs inside the home, we were not prepared for the long exterior stairwell.Additionally, outdoor seating was very limited. There were only two chairs on the upper deck and none on the lower deck, which felt insufficient for a property that accommodates up to eight guests.Overall, while the home has great potential due to its comfort and views, improvements in maintenance, exterior upkeep, and clearer communication about accessibility would significantly enhance the guest experience.
