Clean and inviting house was perfect for our "sisters vacation"! The couches looked new and were comfy, as were the beds. Kitchen was well stocked and Dawn was kind enough to leave some snacks and breakfast treats (individually wrapped doughnuts, etc) for us to enjoy. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and we were easily able to travel to several of the shoreline cities from our home base. Would love to come back again!

Great location. Great host. She put amazing work into the house. It looks wonderful!! My only complaint is the smell of the house. And no I have not mentioned it to, Dawn. But I do think it's helpful to inform other potential guests in the future. Looks to be water damage.. it is very evident on the hardwood floors. Another thing to note... You are connected to another VRBO stay. (If guests are scheduled of course) But it's all one house and the host must of put a wall up to separate the two places. I guess I'd describe it as a connected condo. I honestly would stay again if it wasn't for the smell of this house. But it was too bothersome for me. I would take an old finished home with no toxic smell over a newly remodeled with a bad smell of water damage or whatever else you have going on.
