Picture on Vrbo must be really old. The pictures made the property look flawless. It did not show the cobwebs hanging from the ceiling just inside the front door to greet you. The water damaged baseboards thru out the house or the plastic peeling off in the only bathtub in the house. Also didn’t show the drawer and door on the master bath vanity missing. But don’t worry they hung pillow cases over them to cover them. House was filthy with ants thru out it. Master bedroom had bait trays. Ants in living room and guest bathroom. They did have spray. Exactly how I wanted to spend my vacation playing an exterminator. Broken towel holders in bathroom. Deck lights rusted and swinging in the wind. Contacted Vacasa sent them pictures of the damage and said this isn’t what the listing looks like and was informed they are not in control of the pictures posted. Pretty amazing as the same exact false advertisement pictures are on the Vacasa app. A property management not responsible advertisement. That’s weird! Went to vacasa’s local office was told the manager was on a walk and would be back shortly. Once I showed them the pics of the property all the sudden she wasn’t going to be back til Monday. House had a beautiful view but the house was nothing near as advertised. Ohh and don’t forget about the yellow stained pillows on the beds and the one with dryer blood on it!!!

Toilet paper shoved up in corner of master bath.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Cliff House. The views are amazing from the deck. The hot tub was comfortable and soothing after a few hours of warming it up to optimal temperature from a starting temperature of 76. The King bed in main bedroom is comfortable, and that bathroom is large and convenient. We appreciated the reasonably priced option on our stay for late checkout at 2pm as well. Would definitely stay again in the future.

The views are spectacular, and the privacy of the home made for a very relaxing stay. We had an issue on check-in day when we didnt realized there was no hot water until 8 in the evening. But the Maintenance man, who was very kind,came out right away to resolve this and it did not put a damper on our stay. I would definitely recommend to anyone, and would even love to stay again one day.

This house doesn’t have heat. The day before our reservation in October, Vacasa property management called to say the heat was out due to critters chewing into the ductwork. They left the impression that it was a recent issue; however, we later checked reviews and saw that others had commented about the heat being out more than a month before our reservation. The property owner should be informing customers well in advance so they can make decisions on cancelling or rebooking elsewhere. At a minimum, it was dishonest to inform me only the day before, which voided any refund provisions in the agreement. While it did get a little cold in the house it was tolerable, thankfully due to warmer fall weather. The bigger issue were those critters that were scratching and clawing beneath the house at the floorboards. It was so loud and disturbing that it kept us awake each night, and I was half expecting to find a family of raccoons in the kitchen in the morning (we didn’t). This isn’t normal; the property owners need to call in exterminators/ wildlife experts to mitigate further damage to the house. This house could be a gem with some maintenance; it is spacious and overlooks the ocean. Huge patio and working hot tub.

This place is really a great location. Ocean views, great weather and good layout of the home. However, so much maintenance needs to be done on this place. The barbecue was so rested it took us a long time to clean it, we received a call that there was no Heating but a nice fireplace and space heaters. No kindling for the fireplace and we burned everything paper and was still unable to get it going. We still had a good time to spite it all. So many burned out bulbs and the kitchen definitely needs more supplies, such as foil, plastic bags or Saran Wrap at the least. Anyway we still had fun despite it all.

Great location. Nice home but...The landscape itself needs some attention overgrown, walkways overgrown. The home can use some attention as well. Alot of mold in the bathroom adjacent to the King room, drawer missing, door missing. Hot tub could use safety railing, all sliders need cleaned much debris in tracks. Ants seem to be making their way in through the dishwasher.

The views were as advertised. Spectacular. The Jacuzzi was in fine working order. Bathrooms were clean. The biggest negative was the second bedroom bed was not suitable for 2 people as the mattress was too soft and caved into the middle when 2 people tried to sleep. It was only usable for 1 person, the the other person had to use the couch. Jody from the management company was very responsive to our request to bring a starter for the stove and bbq.

Wonderful but also not

For the price. The state of the couch was terrible. Looked like it was taken off a free pile on the side of the road and felt that way too. Gross old and lumpy. The heater was so loud we couldn’t sleep. The light woke us up at 7am sharp- no blackout blinds. Beautiful but holy crap, very bright very early The bathrooms were reminiscent of a best western in need of repair. It really should cost less or be remodeled: it did not look like the pictures. Although it’s hard to beat a view like that.

Stunning location

Gorgeous house on a cliff directly upon the ocean. Stunning, open views and very, very private. 5 minute drive to Gualala and the Surf Market. Beautiful kitchen but needs some new kitchen knives and more bowls for families that like to cook at home instead of eating out each meal. There is plenty of new, comfortable patio furniture to sit and enjoy watching the ocean, birds and many whales. We’ve rented many houses along the north coast and I highly recommend this home. We will definitely be returning in the future!
