Great Property, Quiet Neighborhood

This was an amazing property for a quick getaway for some dissertation writing. The sun room was just right for early morning writing and reading. I certainly plan to rebook in the near future. Kathleen and George are super responsive on the to messages!

Don’t Take A Chance….The Bad Reviews are Accurate…Not Worth the Money

House was dirty when we arrived and definitely not sanitized. The floor was filthy and the lamps had spiderwebs and dust accumulated in the shades. There are Gigantic Cockroaches on the ceiling, walls, and floors. All of the doors are in poor condition - the front and back doors are most concerning. They are very difficult to lock and keep house secure. You have to slam the doors shut to get them to lock. The HVAC vent in the hallway is horrendous. I expect that is the source of the cockroaches and probably other pests and creatures. The blinds are non-functional and have missing slats, making it difficult to close and maintain privacy. The backyard is a jungle of weeds and wild bushes, not bamboo. There is a motion detector light, but it was non-functional. Also, one of windows had hole in it. It wasn’t safe at all for our small dog to go out there. The gate was broken and even though I put it back in place several times, every time we returned to the house the gate was always positioned differently. There is an animal(s) in the attic - we heard walking above us. Someone tried to break into back door in middle of night when we were sleeping - we scared away when we turned all of the lights on and I yelled that I was going to call police. We decided we had enough and left a day early. I reached out to owner to do right thing, but she doesn’t care. She seems to only like being able to blame the renters for the issues and believe me the renters aren’t the problem. Someone will be successful breaking in eventually and I pray no renter is harmed. So much for a relaxing and safe mini-vacation. I noticed the owner left a response on a negative review about a dishonest guest….in actuality, it’s a very DISHONEST PROPERTY OWNER.

Working Vacation

This home was exactly what we needed. Wifi so we could work during the day and a 5 minute drive to the beach and pets were welcome. House was clean.

Quick weekend away

Wasn’t quite what we were expecting, but served it purpose. Noticed the trash was overflowing from the outside garbage bins as soon we we pulled in the driveway. Walked in the front door initially and the house immediately smelled like someone was smoking in there minutes before. The smell faded as the weekend went on, but the property said no smoking. Found ants coming in through multiple windows in the living room. Notified the host about the trash and ants and quickly responded and came the next day with ant spray and emptied the garbage cans so we could throw away our trash as well. The backyard gate wasn’t on the hinges, so had to prop up and watch the dogs every time we let them out. And the backyard trees and shrubs were very overgrown and the dogs would wonder back through them. The property did have a nice tv and was functional otherwise. Just minutes from the highway which was very convenient for driving all over for the weekend we were there. Just wasn’t quite as clean and tidy as we were expecting. Thank you to the hosts for being responsive and letting us stay at this property.

Friends trip

Check in was easy. The house was simple, but cute. Outdated. Definitely could use an update. Initially it appeared the house was clean. Looked surface clean anyway and smelled good. As we got settled in we found dog hair all over. Not ok with that as I’m allergic to many animals. Communication was poor. We had it written in wrong for our departure date and rather than communicating with us and we would have happily left, she didn’t communicate about it until we had already checked out. So we paid an extra day stay then. Our fault for writing down wrong, but communication is key to good business. We didn’t have any problem paying the extra day as we were very apologetic for the mistake, but would have preferred a more friendly communication. Good location to the beach and surrounding areas.

Not as described

The property was not as described and we left immediately. We found it unsanitary, ants everywhere, cat in the ventilation duct work, dirty diaper left behind, old food still on floor. There is no fenced in back yard and it was a jungle. I wouldn't let my dog back there let alone small children. Overall it was run down and in disrepair.
