If you have any maintenance issues, call them in early. It took 2 1/2 days to get a main bathroom light fixed. While the location and views were spectacular, the owners need to spend a little money to fix some minor cosmetic and maintenance issues, especially since they make nearly 6 figures in rental income.

It definitely has potential, just needs a few repairs. Lots of space and comfortable. Great view and location.

Ask for current pictures. Would I stay in this home again? If updated I would stay there again but not for the current rental price.

Nice property. I would suggest a covering for a window in one of the downstairs bedrooms. We were there during a lightning storm. The window is high above a bed. It looked like at some point there had been a shade on that odd shaped window.
