Mary's Place at the Jersey Shore

Thank you, Debbie! You were fantastic guests - would love to welcome you back for a future stay!

Thank you for your feedback. I’d like to provide some important context regarding your stay to clarify the circumstances surrounding the insurance claim. In over 10 years of hosting guests at my home in Seaside, I’ve never had to submit an insurance claim until this visit. Unfortunately, several issues arose during your stay that required attention and documentation: Beach Chairs: You mentioned leaving four chairs at the beach, but did not inform me of any damage until after checkout. Toilet: The toilet was functioning properly prior to your arrival. It became clogged during your stay, and a plumber had to address the issue which was included in the claim Smoke Detector: The smoke detector on the top floor was found removed, and a charred paper towel was discovered near the sink -- suggesting a possible cause for the alarm. Removing safety devices without notifying the host is a serious concern. Cleanliness: The home was left in poor condition, with soiled towels & blankets (including makeup & blood stains), full trash bins, & failure to follow instructions regarding trash disposal. These issues were documented with photos & chat records to you. Communication: I attempted to discuss these matters calmly, but the conversation was met with defensiveness & denial of responsibility. I must emphasize the importance of respecting the property & communicating openly during your stay. Regrettably, based on this experience, I would not be recommend hosting this guest.

Thank you, Shannon! We look forward to welcoming you back for future stays in Seaside!

Thank you, Rece! We look forward to welcoming you back for future stays in Seaside!

Ed and his family were very respectful guests. Communication was simple and effective, which made it easy to get the visit organized. I would happily welcome this group back in the future!
