We stayed for an August weekend. Great location. Rooms as advertised. The listing said checkin was 3. We asked for 2:30 checkin and it was approved. When we arrived at 2:30 the cleaner was there and reported checkin is typically 4 and he was not told about early checkin. It was not a huge deal. Beach wagon much appreciated. Communication with owner was slow but eventually we got questions answered.

The hosts were very helpful and quick to respond. The walk to Main Street/beach is a bit more than what I would call “steps,” but definitely walkable. The inside of the property was wonderful; clean, comfortable, and spacious. There were plenty of dishes available, newer appliances, and the AC worked wonderfully. Even with 9 people we always had plenty of hot water. The outside could be better. The deck is in need of repair and the outdoor furniture has seen better days. There was no outside garbage receptacle, and it seems guests have been piling garbage in the garage due to having no other available options. This really needs to be addressed.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location, however the cleanliness was not acceptable. It has a lot of potential as a rental, but the dampness of woods and trees surrounding the property cause many issues. The deck was dirty from trees and the grill we planned on using for dinner was so gross we decided to eat out. The interior has a nice space for a party of 10, but again, I was disappointed by the cleanliness of the interior. Base boards, big cob webs, lots of spiders, dirty showers, etc. were hard to ignore. Again, the property was in a nice location with good amount of space for a large group, but a professional scale ing service needs to do a complete overhaul of the space and the owners should take some trees out to get some air flow throughout. Paying for a cleaning fee for this place seems counterintuitive. I would love to see them succeed, but some major changes need to happen soon.

So sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. We usually get very high marks for cleaning and cobwebs definitely form in a place that’s tucked in the woods. I wish you would let me know while you were there and we would’ve come in and made sure our maintenance people amended it for your stay.
