This is for 16585 PCH vacation rental.
I am not a picky person when it comes to hotels/rentals. I've stayed in older places and been just fine. This place crossed the line though, from older/more run down, to unlivable. The location is stellar and the view currently is fabulous. When the building across the street completes, that might not be the case unfortunately.
I would never book it again because of the run down condition of everything inside. We did not even use the patio and BBQ because it was so dirty, falling apart, and "gross", as one of my adult daughters called it. The older grandkids enjoyed going up on the roof, but it wasn't a space fit for small children, not safe for sure. Not sure it should be described as a rooftop terrace..it is just the roof...the furniture is so run down and falling apart and covered with bird poop there's no way anybody wants to use it.
Elevator certificate is out of date.
The furniture is either falling apart, or seems about to fall apart, or is just worn out. The smell of the couches was so bad we had to buy febreeze.The kitchen is not outfitted with a consistent set of pots and pans. It has knives and dishes, assorted random utensils, and a microwave, but not the kind of items we needed to actually cook there. We had to buy baking pans, measuring cups and a pot to cook pasta in. The dishwasher did not get anything in the top rack clean. Upon inspection, we found out that the top arm is not moving, so the water doesn't get circulated on top. The window mechanisms are rusty and some don't even work. There are no blinds on one window in the master suite. The far sink faucet in the master bathroom leaks water onto the tile every time you turn it on. The bed in the corner bedroom splintered while my son-in-law was laying there with his one year old, trying to get him to sleep. Two of the twin beds in the bunk bed room had slats that kept falling off in the middle of the night causing the mattress to fall in. No one was jumping on it ever while we were there (metal bedframes don't break and are cheap). There are two large skylights in the bunk bedroom that are like searchlights in the morning and wake the kids up at an ungodly early hour. This room was never meant to be a bedroom obviously. There are two broken lightbulbs, one with exposed wires, still in the sockets in the master bedroom bathroom. The floor trim is missing in places in the living room...a piece of new trim is sitting on the floor by the windows; it needs to be installed. There are no screens in the kitchen windows. When the windows are open, things could go out the window and nearly did once...we grabbed the item before it made it all the way out. The dining room chairs are rickety. I was afraid to sit on them. There is so much "stuff" (mattresss, old decorations, broken fans, old books, etc etc) crammed in the master closet that you can't even use it. The upholstered furniture has tears and slits and looks bad. Goodwill would not even take this furniture. And even though the housekeepers had just left, the bottoms of our feet were immediately black and grimy when walking in the unit. I think a major floor cleaning is needed. The floors are very uneven, especially in the hallway to the bedrooms.The kitchen ceiling is visibly sagging downward. It makes me wonder if the building is structurally sound...is the floor sagging, or was the flooring just laid badly? It worried me.
This is basically what I might expect to see in a frat house that was not kept in repair. Way too disgusting, falling apart, and uncomfortable to enjoy anything. read more
