The overall impression of the property was quite cozy. PROS: Large bedrooms with comfortable beds, located in a quaint, beachy neighborhood, pet friendly, minutes walk to the beach, local cafe, market and McMenamin's restaurant. CONS: Aside from some access dust and a loose towel bar, the only criticism I have is the communication from the VRBO owner Kevin was so-so. My first message regarding a change of check out day went completely unanswered. An unknown vehicle was parked in the driveway upon our arrival. While owner Kevin did confirm no one was staying in the studio next to the cottage, the truck's owner or reason for being there were not divulged. The dishwasher appeared to have leaked upon last use and was not operational during our stay. Owner Kevin was notified by message and voicemail, but again no recognition and/or response was received. I do recognize the messages were sent over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, however some form of acknowledgement would have been appreciated greatly.
