The road noise next to the master bedroom was extremely annoying. It went on day and night.
Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 14 Aug 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're truly sorry to hear that the road noise near the master bedroom affected your stay. We completely understand how disruptive that can be, especially when you're looking to relax and unwind. As your visit was during peak season, the area does tend to be a bit livelier than usual, with increased traffic and activity throughout the day and night. That said, we know that’s not ideal for everyone, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback. Please know we’re actively looking into solutions to help reduce noise in the rooms closest to the road. Should you choose to stay with us again, we’d be more than happy to recommend a quieter unit or time of year that may better suit your preferences. Thank you again for your honest feedback—it truly helps us improve.
