The property was VERY clean, and we even thanked the cleaning person when we left. It's super close (very walkable- a block and a half) to a great park. The negatives: the backyard doesn't have the fire pit as shown in listing, the dryer was having issues with the hose not being attached to the wall, the instruction sheets conflicted on if we needed to take the garbage to the street and if we had to strip beds (we did). Overall decent place, lovely neighborhood, great location in Seaside.

Overall, not bad but we got disappointed a few times and our concerns were not addressed (the reason for loosing one star). First, I communicated with the host before renting that I will need a travel crib and they ensured us that there is one. When we got there, there was one very dirty travel crib that I didn't risk putting my baby in. If you are renting and planning to use the crib, make sure they replace or properly clean it. Also, 2 hand towels were dirty (make up stain and obvious that they were not washed) so I'm not sure if the rest of the towels were washed or not. In addition, the trash bin was broken and did not open properly. I addressed all these the first day and they told me that the maintenance team will be there to address all these issues. No one showed up and I was too busy with my kids to follow up. The house was overall clean. The backyard was not clean and neat like in the pictures. There was overgrown grass and vegetation everywhere that made it very hard to walk. My babies played on the swing set a little bit which was fun. I got good communication from the host but as I said, none of my concerns where addressed. We were told to start a wash of the towels on our way out which we did, so the next person going in will definitely have fresh and clean towels.

There were some pros and cons to our stay here. Pros: Seamless check in process, perfect size for our family of 4 plus 1 friend, great/safe neighborhood, convenient location to get to a lot of spots, walking distance to a park. Cons: the pictures are quite outdated on the listing, the backyard is overgrown and looks like it hasn’t been cared for in a long time, the cleaning crew did a pretty poor job (ie a used diaper in one of the bedrooms, hair in the bathroom/tub), the bathtub had mildew in the grout (which probably would have come off if it were actually cleaned). Despite the cons, it was a nice place to stay for our trip to the area and would consider it again if the backyard was in better shape.

At first, welcoming via text, however when we had an issue with the dryer not working after confirming with them that washer and dryer were in working condition. We washed our clothes and the dryer tumbled but never heated to dry our clothes. After messaging the host, an update was never sent. I sent another message in the evening to let them know I had wet clothes and a reply was sent at 11:30 pm to state an apology for the inconvenience and nothing can be done. Kitchen and laundry access is a huge component of renting a house for our trip. To not have laundry access was a true inconvenience especially to not have an update until 11:30pm and have to bag up wet clothes to take into our car for a 12 hr car ride was very upsetting.
