Les points faibles : Emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce
We had several issues during our stay that future guests should be aware of:âąMisleading bed info: The listing suggests more flexibility, but there are really only two beds suitable for two people each.âąWifi: Couldnât even hold a one-hour Zoom call, even with everyone else disconnecting.âąElectrical outlets: The ones near the upstairs kitchen didnât work.âąVentilation: The upstairs windows are nailed shut, making it very hot despite fans and sliding doors.Noise and neighbors:This property accommodates 25â30 people, but the neighbors are extremely sensitive and strongly opposed to short-term rentals. Even small conversations after 10pm can trigger complaints. On our first night, the police were called around midnight even though most people were already asleep and the house was quiet. The officers told us that any noise audible from outside could lead to a fine, which feels arbitrary and unfair for a house this size.Instead of helping us navigate this situation, the host only sent a short message saying weâd be evicted immediately if the police were called again. No chance to explain or defend ourselves. For large groups or professional programs, this is a serious riskârealistically, you canât expect 25 people to avoid all use of common spaces after 9:30pm.Bathrooms:The listing needs clearer details. There are technically six bathrooms, but:âąOne is split (toilet in one room, shower in another).âąThree of the remaining five are located inside bedrooms, le
It was absolutely wonderful to be in beautiful Pacifica and be amazed by all the whales & dolphins!! It was truly a pleasure to relax in this perfect setting with awesome accommodations. Thank you so much!!
Stayed 4 nights over Aug 23 weekend; family reunion of 7 gen 1 siblings / spouses (ages 65-70), 17 gen 2 children / spouses / others (ages 30-38), 4 gen 3 children (ages 4-7). House was fabulous; fit all 28 in existing beds (and we did not need to use the extra blow-up twin beds that Lance set up for us, or the couches. The kids loved the "Harry Potter bed in the alcove", and took turns sleeping on it). Beds were not quite exactly as listed on the website, but Lance clarified the setup for each of the 10 bedrooms via email. Kitchen(s) had more than enough pots and pans, dishes, cups, utensils, etc for all 28 of us (and Lance had the table set for us upon our arrival, with bottled water and snacks on the table too). Ample parking. There were a few supply issues and detail questions, and one of the several water heaters needed to be turned on the first day, but Lance responded to each query / email in timely manner and with quick resolution to the issue(s). Easy walking to eateries, coffee, minimart, and a quick 5 minute drive to big grocery store. Easy walking along the water and down to the pier to check out lots of pelicans and folks fishing for anchovies. Whale watching from the deck was amazing; we were out there seeing tons of whales without needing binoculars. All in all, we could not have asked for a better housing situation for our big group / multi-generational family gathering.
Had an absolutely WONDERFUL time in this rental! Plenty of space for our family reunion of 27 people! Our group ranged from 1 years of age to 80 years old. Loved the living room space with couches for several people, and little nooks by the window for reading or chatting with a few.Loved the double kitchens. Everything was provided -from cooking dishes to utensils, to plates, and cups. We didn't need to pack anything, which was really nice. Lance was very easy to work with - put out a high chair for us and a crib when he found out we were traveling with babies. We hiked the redwoods, went to the SF zoo, and went to a couple different beaches - plenty to do in the area!
