    8/10 Good Janell A. 10 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Visiting Psycho The property was okay except washer & dryer were out of order and hot water wouldn’t stay a steady temperature, also the toaster didn’t work. But the major issue we had was with a schizophrenic man that lives next door who was intimidating us and was very angry, he even came right up in the front doorway when we were in the house. Talked to host about man having a key to the place and not feeling safe to spend a second night. Host knew all about man but would not refund our second night, so we went home a day early in fear of being victims of this crazy person. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 Response from VrboOwner on 13 Jun 2024 Hi Janell Lee, we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. Your feedback is essential to us, and we’ve relayed your comments to the homeowner, who would like to address the following:-We appreciate you bringing to our attention the difficulties you experienced with regulating the water temperature and using the toaster. Rest assured, these issues have been addressed, and we regret that we were not made aware of them during your stay so that we could have promptly resolved them.-We regret any discomfort caused by the presence of the neighborhood gentleman, known among locals for his friendly demeanor. The safety and well-being of our guests are important to us. We advise all guests to adhere to common safety precautions, such as keeping the front door closed and locked and refraining from opening the door to unknown individuals. Please note that only the owner and booking guests possess a key to the property.

    2/10 Terrible Marianne T. 15 May 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy Retro, vintage Nothing in the house appears newer than 1940. The bed sheets and blankets are threadbare, pilly, and appear to be goodwill castoffs. The few pans to cook with were aluminum with lots of wear and the utensils were thrown into a box in the cupboard and were old, various metals, all with the finish worn off. There was no hot water for the children’s baths. My grandson has health issues and we could not risk using the cooking, eating and other things in the space. The walk to the beach was delightful. We had booked 3 nights and unfortunately felt we had to leave as soon as we could. We left by 9:30 AM. Very disappointed. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 Response from VrboOwner on 21 May 2024 Hi Marianne, we’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:- We regret that you didn’t reach out to us during your stay, as we would have been more than happy to address your concerns and ensure your comfort. – As evident from the listing photos, the house underwent a full renovation and started hosting guests in April 2024. Everything in the house, including the appliances, beds, and linens, is brand new.- The hot water supply is provided by a propane instant water heater, which is functioning properly. As a professional Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Home Improvement Contractor, I take great pride in maintaining my property to the highest standards.We truly go above and beyond for our guests and are confident that future guests will have excellent stays. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns.
    10/10 Excellent Liz R. 14 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Quaint and CoZy Very intimate cottage setting, lovely beach scenery, walking distance to the beach, feet away from hearing the crash of the waves. Short drive to grab whatever you have forgotten or need to enhance your stay in this tiny home. Great location to unplug, energize, and bond with your family. You can create the quality time you miss out on in the world today, you will not have the distractions of television, internet, or gaming. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024
    10/10 Excellent Anthony 12 Apr 2024 None None Off season mini break Only stayed for two nights, wish it was longer. Excellent little cottage less than a minute from the beach. It was a chilly weekend but the cottage was toasty warm. Very well maintained and spotless clean. Dimitri was an excellent host and very welcoming. He even brought gifts for my two grandchildren. Will definitely be back. Response from VrboOwner on 14 Apr 2024 From the owner: “Anthony and his family were great guests, a pleasure to have.”
