ROACH MOTEL!
On the first day we arrived the AC was on 50, couldn't understand why. When we turned the air up to 72, the ROACHES started to come out! We bombed the home on Sunday and contacted Spectrum on Monday morning, they did send a pest control company out on Tuesday at 530pm. It was so bad there was 3 different kind of roaches and the pest control confirmed that no one had sprayed in a while, but Mary from Spectrum said they had it sprayed quarterly. Not True. The homes were very dirty my husband had to help move the refrigerator to make sure it was sprayed behind and clean behind it. The pest control guy even expressed how dirty the kitchen was and how it needed to be deep cleaned. The beds had black dog hair on them but that was the least of what i was worried about. We ended up having to throw out food from the Roaches. We contacted Spectrum on Friday after all the cleaning and throwing out food and other items and basically, they came up with excuses not to refund our fees. We didnt ask for all the money back only the fees they charged since they didnt provide a clean home and or a bug free home. Spectrum did offer us another home, but it had 2 camera and I refuse to stay at a home and not have privacy. That is why we didn’t ask for all the money back just the fees. We had to keep the air on low to keep the roaches at bay. Someone either Spectrum or the cleaning person knew the home had roaches as to why the air was on 50! We will not ever rent from company again!

Great Stay for Friends or Family
We had a great stay at the Downeast Retreat. Our group was a mix of all adults (friends & family) and the house was great. One friend was even able to utilize the dock for his flat bottom boat. Our V shaped boat was put in at the wildlife ramp just a couple miles away. My only complaints about this property is the amount of fees you have to pay almost double the cost of staying here, so keep that in mind before booking. In addition, the check in and out times seem rather harsh. You lose a lot of time when check in is at 5 (although we did get to check in earlier at 2 but that's not guaranteed) and check out is at 10 am. Finally, the trash situation is not the best. For the amount we paid to stay here, trash services should be included. You have to take out your own trash, and for weekend stays, the dump doesn't open until 1pm but you have to be out of the house by 10am.. so we had to haul all our trash home which I thought was nuts. Anytime the landfill was open we were out on the water. If we had read the manual more carefully on arrival we could have planned better but we were too excited to start having fun! For groups and families looking for a quiet place to relax, you can't beat the location. The house was clean and comfortable, with plenty of room and bathrooms for all to use. I so enjoyed having a morning coffee looking out at the water in peace and quiet. Great spot for a low-key vacation especially if you have a boat. All in all, I would definitely stay here again but I do wish some changes could be made in regards to check in/out times and the trash situation.
