  Amy B from Sacramento, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We hired this house over the 4th of July weekend and were overall disappointed in what we got.
  
  Brief Description of House:
  3 levels... upstairs had 1 small bedroom, 1 bathroom (w carpet) and a loft with a couch and a Murphy (drop out of the wall) bed... main level had 1 master bedroom with massive bathroom and jetted bathtub, 1 extra toilet, kitchen, lounge room, dining room, patio with outdoor furniture and a BBQ... downstairs had a large living room with a TV, DVD player and play station, Dish TV and surround sound, 1 bathroom (newly renovated) and 1 large bedroom - nice hardwood floors to down here.
  
  Pros:
  - Good size house
  - Plenty of room
  - Nice large kitchen
  - Great downstairs living area
  - Nice couches
  - Rental staff helped out where they could
  - Lots of wildlife in the area
  - Not to far to walk down to the Tennis center and fisherman's beach... about 1 mile.
  
  Cons:
  - Not cleaned very well at all...
  There was a dead spider squashed on the wall downstairs right about shoulder hight... not that the spider was a problem, but it just shows how thoroughly the place had been cleaned.
  We also had to sweep piles of dust (litereally) from the floor in the downstairs bedroom.
  There were a lot of dirty and sticky dishes in the cupboards.
  The outdoor furniture was absolutely filthy - not even wiped down for the beginning of the weekend.
  - Dangerously unstable back deck railing... if you stay here DO NOT lean on the back deck railing... it was dangerously unstable.
  - The fridge took about 10 hours to cool down enough... would be nice to know it was on and working properly before we got there... I was told this happened to a previous renter as well... they should ensure it is working before letting you in... out butter melted completely but was solid again by morning.
  - The downstairs TV (incl. Dish, DVD, Play station) did not work, even after the rental staff came out to try and

  a guest from Fremont, CA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The property was really difficult to find & was located very far away from the entrance. We would have preferred something closer to the marina or the entrance. Guess we won't make that mistake again. Next time we'll ask for something closer with more modern amenities. The thing that we found most misleading was that the property was advertised as a 4 bed 3.5 bath home, while it really was a 3 bed 3.5 bath home with a murphy bed. Overall our stay was pretty good. The home was very clean & the bathrooms were very well appointed.
