The house was so comfy we felt right at home. The views were amazing and loved how secluded we felt. There was enough room for everywhere and I particularly loved how spread out the rooms were. I've already recommended this house to people.
Needs a rental overhaul, many things not working. Including locks on doors electronics and main fireplace.Mouse poop all over the whole house, window seals, under cushions on sofas, it was gross Carpet torn and badly stained, Internet was unreliable so the TV didnât work but the views made up for the lack of TV. Good location to cooks beach.Overall disappointed in the rental and quality of the house itself
Canât beat the views and three couples can stay quite comfortably in privacy and community. Excellent kitchen space, comfortably heated, sliding doors are working, and a new dishwasher is much appreciated.
When our friends arrived partway through our stay (Tuesday) we discovered that a bathroom sink was not delivering hot water. I called the Vacasa number and eventually the local office got in touch to say they would take care of it.
Not hearing from them, I called the next afternoon to be informed that our problem was âon their radar.â The trash had also not been picked up on Tuesday, the day that the literature at the house suggested it be put out for removal. The Vacasa office said their handyman would pick up some trash to make room for ours.
The trash people came Friday, and Iâm so grateful to solid waste of Willits. Vacasa never followed up on the trash or the sink. Our valued guest washed her face and hands in cold water for the duration.
We will come back to this house but we are well prepared for disappointment and expectations for service are low. Needs go unmet, communication does not exist, the carpet gets filthier and filthier, but the view is incomparable and the house is so comfortable. I wish I could quit you, Vacasa. All you needed to do was call me and say,sorry we canât come out to fix the sink until after your week at the house is over?
Floor plan and location great. Property needs a serious deep, deep cleaning, many repairs are needed in interior and exterior. Many things not sanitized and downright gross. Property description and photos are not current or accurate. Property hard to find due to hidden address signs.
A lovely location with beautiful views. Comfortable master bedroom and bathroom. Nice kitchen. Property needs deep cleaning, pest control, and various repairs.
This ocean front home with its 180 degree views was a heavenly place to view Gods creation, relax, and vacation.
Itâs comfortable, peaceful and provided all we needed. We enjoyed Point Arena lighthouse and our beautiful drive on PCH.
Although there were many maintenance issues, we looked at the magnificent views from all the windows, architectural construction, comfortable beds and furniture, ability to use tv and our streaming devices, well stocked kitchen and had a fabulous time.
Beautiful, well laid-out home with stunning views of the coastline from inside and outside the home. Location is just off Hwy 1 a few miles from Gualala making day trips north to Mendocino or south along the coast easy. Cooks Beach is a few minutes walk down the road, itâs small but pretty. The house layout allows for a lot of privacy - huge master on one end (plus an additional bedroom) and on the other end a room with bath half a flight down, then a family room with TV and laundry/bath another half flight down. Great kitchen with Wolf stove opens to large living/dining area and deck. Highly recommend, weâll be back!
The view is spectacular, if you can see out of the dirty windows. Several points listed with pictures to follow.
1. Garbage scattered in front of house
2. Garbage & recycling cans nearly full before we arrived
3. Cobwebs were evident throughout the property, inside and out. We cleaned cobwebs on deck area, deck light and window. There were also webs on some of inside light fixtures with dead bugs.
4. Carpeted areas, especially in hallway stairs from garage to the main floor, were stained to the point we did not feel comfortable walking barefoot on them.
4. Screen doors, one porch door and some windows were broken/non-functional.
- Screen door on the downstairs bedroom was off track
- Screen door to the deck came off track several times making it difficult to go back and forth
- Door near master bedroom was locked, unable to open and enjoy sunset from that deck
- Left window over kitchen sink got stuck/unable to open
5. 2nd bathroom on main floor was missing towel rack and in need of a paint job.
6. 3rd bathroom in downstairs bedroom toilet appear to back up, needed to plunge to keep it flushed
7. Huge stain on couch facing window in main living room
8. Tear in downstairs chair in den. Did not want to use for further potential damage.
Overall, the pictures that advertised this property do not reflect the current condition of the house. This house needs alot of work and we felt the price paid was not worth the trouble & work. Will email pics to substantiate claim.
This house is more gorgeous than its pictures show -- huge and amazing views of the ocean and sun from morning til night. Exceeded expectations on that front!
On the other hand, there were were problems with doors that didn't open to the outer decks and cobwebs that were sort of baffling. Not 100% up to par on some minor maintenance stuff that added some small dissonance to the overall splendor of the place.
Nice Ocean Views, but Home needs a lot of repairs and is not well maintained.
This house has nice ocean views, but needs a lot of work and is not well maintained. We were notified shortly before check in that heat was broken. Heat was out entire time we were there during winter storms and we had to manage half a dozen space heaters to try and keep house warm. Despite space heaters, downstairs was cold and not usable. All dishes were dirty on arrival and had to rewash. Sheets appeared clean, but blankets and comforters had very sour body odor smell and all had to be rewashed. Bathroom rugs were dirty and had to be rewashed. Dining room window was broken and could not be closed. It kept slamming back and forth in the wind and we had to clean up the rain water that blew inside, despite numerous attempts to fasten it shut. Dish washer was broken and did not clean dishes. Also began leaking a lot of water under the sink and we had to clean that up to prevent water damage. Power went out and no functioning lanterns in house, but appreciate maintenance guy bringing over some others with fresh batteries. Living room fireplace inoperable. Patio door off dining room was broken and could not acces the patio. Expressed issues to property manager who was verbally sympathetic and promised to "make it right" with a significant discount, but never heard back.
We very much enjoyed staying at this house. We loved the views of the ocean and the nearby access to Cooks beach. The house is thoughtfully laid out and has a good vibe. There were a few items that needed repair or replacing, but otherwise it worked great for our family.
Weâve stayed here three years in a row, love the location and all the space for our extended family group. There are some maintenance issues that need attention, such as the sliding door to the patio not locking and the screen being broken, the cabinet in the kitchen being broken and swinging off the hinge, two of the fireplaces not working, etcâŠbut, overall, we do like it here and the location canât be beat. Just a little TLC is all it needs!
Best View on the coast! Comfortable Roomy and Perfect!!
The views from this home were breathtaking all week!! We absolutely loved it! The beds and furnishings very comfortable. The master shower and tub are incredible. Plenty of space to put all your belongings. Two living areas so it was very comfortable. Gualala point was the biggest beach and very close 5-10 min drive. Cooks beach was walking distance and perfect! There are lots of trails closeby to hike and have picnics. From the home you don't feel so close to the beach that you feel like you're on a cliff but NOTHING is in the way of your view to see the beach or walk right over. This was the perfect stay. Out and away from hustle bustle...very peaceful. All the stars were in view at night on the clear nights. A couple small grocery stores are in Gualala 2-5 min away. A one screen movie theatre up near point arena light house. The light house had incredible views. It was only a few hours up to the large growth redwoods in Humboldt State Forest. The coast had a lot of turns and mountains in areas so be ready to drive carefully and small cars are probably easier but honestly we got used to it and drove the whole thing in a huge expedition so its all safe and doable just new to people driving in mountains and on bluffs. We are definately coming again. The home was perfect. Very large balcony. Wonderful views. We even brought Granny who is 90 and she loved it! There are stairs so we just held her arms and she walked them. She loved the views from the home and we had SO much fun playing with the kids on the beaches!
