Living in a neighborhood on the hill above town and not in "condo land" was just lovely, and the views are truly spectacular. We saw whales with our binoculars and could walk everywhere in 20 min or less, and we didn't mind the steep walk up the hill at all (working off tacos!). What keeps us from giving 5 stars is that the house, furnishings, linens, etc. could use some updating or fixing, and a good deep cleaning (sinks, toilets, kitchen were clean and sanitary). These things didn't keep us from enjoying the views, location, and beautiful plantings and gardens which are the 5-star attractions. We highly recommend staying here!
