The house was very clean, nicely decorated and had a pretty front yard. The beach and view were very nice. The location close to Wilderness and Headlands parks was great. It was an appropriate size for two, something that can be hard to find. Our low overall rating is due to several factors. The kitchen sponge provided had caked on food on the scrubbing side, and we couldn't find any dishcloths. There was no bath soap, shampoo, or even one box of facial tissues provided, which seems cheap given the price. It also was in contradiction to what the listing promised. The listing also promised dark skies, but the next door property had a very bright dawn to dusk light on a tall pole, which illuminated the area around the house and interfered with seeing the night sky. As noted by other renters, the on-demand water heater did not provide water that was a consistent temperature. In addition, there was a taste and odor to the water which was obvious when drinking the water, washing dishes, and showering. The kitchen is small, but had nice appliances and was fine for cooking for two; however, the lighting is very dim, having only an accent light to directly illuminate the workspace. Spring and fall renters should be aware that the only real heat source is from a gas burning fireplace with a blower in the main room. It must be turned off when you are gone and overnight, so the house can cool down substantially during those times. We got up on our last morning to a house that had cooled to 57 degrees. There is no heat in the bathroom (or the bedroom), so your best bet is to leave the bathroom door open when you shower. Finally, check out was at 10:00 am, but at 9:30 am, a large man knocked on the door and asked brusquely when we would be leaving.
