Finding the place was easy and check in was simple. The location was fairly close to the beach just a couple minute walk along side streets. it was a quiet and safe neighborhood and parking in the driveway was easy. The key storage was a bit finicky and we did have concerns about the security of the code but other than that getting in and out of the house was fine. The beach was beautiful with lots of open space and we appreciated the foosball table at the house. The view was gorgeous and we enjoyed the deck and barbecue. However, there were major issues with the house that made our vacation not as enjoyable as it could've been. There was a major ant infestation inside the kitchen, the bathroom, and downstairs. There was an open sugar box and a gel ant trap in the shower that was drawing them in along with kitchen crumbs. We spent a lot of time cleaning up ants, including dead ants in the windows so it seemed like this wasn't their first ant problem. We messaged the property manager about the ants and they were quick to respond, which we appreciated, and they brought out two additional ant gel traps for us to set around the house outside. However, there were so many ants that the traps didn't really make a difference, but we did appreciate their responsiveness. The basement and downstairs office smelled very musty from a wet bath mat that was left in the laundry. Additionally, there was hair on the bed sheets, towels, and in the kitchen cupboards. Lastly, the kitchen was a bit grimy and the utensils were not clean. Given these issues, it was difficult to relax and feel comfortable at the house. If these issues were fixed, and the house was cleaned up, we would consider recommending this property to a friend but as it currently stands, we would not recommend it and will choose another location during our next Manzanita visit.
