Sure, in the pictures it's a beautiful place. A white sofa, a spacious gathering place, vaulted ceilings, and copious windows with views of the ocean from bedrooms, the living room, as well as from the double decker patios. But up close... it's a big ole mess. The sofa was stained and ripped along the seams, sticky from dirty bodies and sandy bottoms. The vaulted ceilings are appealing but there is a disturbing amount of rust and mold around all of the air vents. Oh yeah, less I forget the cobwebs and spiders in the corners. The views, I can't argue as they are priceless but the screen door on the downstairs did little to keep bugs out as it was torn along the edge and the upstairs balcony doors did not have any screens on them so, the cooler evenings in which I was hoping we could leave the doors cracked to listen to the ocean were shut down due to the insane amount of spiders on the top balcony and lack of screen doors. The guest bedroom with the bunk beds had a cracked window, not great for young ones. The master bathroom toilet did not work well; my husband and I left the lid off so we would have quicker access to pull the lever up so it would catch and refill. On the downstairs balcony, the ceiling to the upstairs was bowed and very concerning for stability. And finally, a stay in the downstairs east facing guest room meant waking up ON the sun. No blinds, not even a heavier curtain to pull (unlike the front, west facing rooms). "Penthouse" to our family meant a chic two story home that had been well taken care of and worth the $6919 price tag. This place has been left to shambles by the owner and was beyond disappointing.
