Stayed 4 days in August, 2008
1) The advertisement reads, You'll really enjoy this beautiful new 2700sq ft. beach house above Moonstone Beach in Trinidad, just a five minute walk down to the beach. This is not a beach house, you can not see the beach or hear the ocean. The walk to the beach is about a 20 minute hike down a steep road with no area to walk except down the middle of the road. This is dangerous with small children. Also, this house is not NEW at all. Although there has been some remodeling, it is very clear from the walls, plumbing and bath fixtures, exterior, landscaping and more that this is an old house with some updating. 2)It reads, In a quiet neighborhood This neighborhood would be quiet except for their neighbor's dog that barks all day and night and the numerous cars that drive up and down the road. reads, ocean views from the decks and many of the rooms The only room that slightly has an ocean view, if not socked in with fog, is the upstairs loft where they have a telescope. We could not see the ocean at all due to high bushes in front of the front deck. There is no view at all from the back deck. 4. It reads, we almost forgot to mention the jacuzzi, outdoor shower and large wood-burning redwood sauna The jacuzzi is 20+ years old and has been repaired numerous times, which can be seen by its discoloration. The cover was broken in two and it maybe could fit 2 adults. The Sauna is a converted shed that has a fire place inside. It was filled with cobwebs and could not possibly be up to code. We never did see the outdoor shower. 5. It reads, formal dining room There is in fact no dining room at all, just an area for a dining table. A formal dining room would have walls and a doorway separating it from other areas of the home. 6. It reads, hardwood floors throughout In fact, hardwoods were only installed in some of the downstairs - not into all of the bedrooms and not at all upstairs. 7. It lists 2 queen beds, these are actually futons
