The view and location to the ocean is fantastic! The home had plenty of rooms and bathrooms and the layout was functional for larger families. The kitchen appliances were newer; it was nice and large and well stocked. The parking was easy and large enough to hold an RV or multiple vehicles, and it was really great being across the street from a convenience store. The pier was a short drive away, and Seaside was within half an hour. The water stayed hot for showers, dishes, laundry. It smelled so good walking into the house, like if you could bottle summer, and the view is just breathtaking.
However the house was in need of a deep clean and several repairs. The overhang does leak when it rains. The deck furniture has seen better days. The windows do not open and are rotted. There are no beach towels, chairs, or equipment (other than some skim boards) so bring your own. The foosball table leans. The upstairs master bedroom door to the balcony is missing screws and hinges, and is hanging on with one hinge so it does not open or close correctly. Also you cannot see out of it clearly because the pane seal is broken and it’s fogged up. The jacuzzi tub in the master bath does not work. If you are expecting to relax and soak in this tub it is not going to happen. Nor will you be able to relax and soak in the picturesque hot tub on the deck overlooking the ocean. This hot tub appears to have not been in working order for a while. We had messaged the the owner prior to booking as it was a deciding factor in our search, and had chosen this particular house specifically for the hot tub with that view. It was on our “bucket list”. When we contacted them again after seeing it was not working, the owner lied and said they sent someone to look at it and a part has been ordered, “and we hope it will come tomorrow”. No further communication other than offering $150 refund. There was trash behind the hot tub that is very old and hasn’t been cleaned up in a while; beer cans and broken mats. All unacceptable at this price point.
Basically if you are ok with no hot tub, no jacuzzi tub, being lied to, and are just needing the large space and views of the ocean then this house is for you.
