Good: 1) Good location, walkable distance to beach 2) Beach is wide and nice, not many people, pets allowed, parking is available by hour if needed 3) Nice cozy backyard 4) Spaceous basement To improve: 1) Garage had wood poles after re-constuction. I had to move them around which was heavy to be able to park both cars, it was too narrow and I could not open the doors 2) Air conditioner was pre-set to a certain range that you can't change. It didn't work for me. I have never seen such restrictions 3) Doors are missing inner manual lock. Not sure how often codes are changed and who know them, felt unsafe in this area without manual inside door locks. 4) Hot tab outside had sand on the bottom, didn't feel like using, not sure if it was cleaned 5) I think I saw 2 house cameras on main floor and basement even though in manual it was said that cameras are only used to monitor outside

House was wonderful
6.0 / 10.0Average·Juli 2024
The house was recently remodeled so it was pretty nice. The back deck was perfect and really nice. The ring door bell lets the property manager spy on you. For some odd reason there is no parking in front of the house so when we had guests over I got a text telling me that they needed to move the car. This no parking in front of the house. the only signs in Miller beach for no street parking are in front of this house everywhere else has street parking. We could not adjust the thermostat. This house is older so the back bedrooms were hot. You are not allowed to adjust the thermostat so be prepared to be hot if you stay here. Hot water really took a long time to get hot and we ran out it every night after everyone showered. The Dish washer didn't work so we had to do dishes by hand every night. It would appear the property owner is not local and the management company does a poor job. There are nicer properties to stay in. I would not recommend this one.
