A little hidden gem in a perfect location!
We had the most amazing vacation steps to the beach. I’ve driven up and down Ocean Boulevard thousands of times and never noticed this little hidden gem. I almost don’t even want to post this review because I want to keep the secret all to myself! The place is amazing. It has everything you need and it is absolutely perfect.
My husband and I travel all over the world and have rented dozens of vacation homes. We tend to look for unique, affordable experiences to gather our children and grandchildren for special occasions. This home is incredible. The open ceilings, open windows and rooms, and large yard made for a wonderful experience. The home was clean, very well stocked and right across from the beach. It was farther away from the strip so less traffic and people. Tracey, our host, was communicative, kind and accommodating. We truly loved this wonderful stay and home and hope to return soon!! Thank you so much!!
The location of this property was wonderful, right across the street from the beach. However, my family and I had some issues with the place itself relative to the cost and we felt certain things should have been disclosed in the description of the property on VRBO.For starters, this is a 100-year-old lobster cabin, and while the historic aspect of the structure is appreciated, some upgrades for the sake of guest comfort are sorely needed. For example, we experienced a heat wave during our stay and the two window units in the main bedrooms just didn't cool the house enough to be comfortable. One portable AC caused a power outage and the house was sweltering. I know heat waves are inevitable during the summer, but climate control should be updated. The property is advertised to sleep eight people and we found this to be misleading. One room, which was a small bunk type room off a bedroom, was sweltering to the point of feeling like a sauna and we didn't use it at all. It had no outlets for a fan and the bunk bed was so close to the ceiling that if a person sat up, they would hit their head. Shoving three beds into a tiny side room with no AC or circulation seemed a stretch - the room would be better served with one twin bed and a dresser to put clothes. It should be noted that with the exception of one bedroom, the house has no insulation, which is why when it got hot, it was like an attic. For 900 dollars a day, we expected a higher level of comfort.

Hi Caerthan, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner, who would like to clarify the following:- We experienced a rare heat wave during your stay, and we immediately purchased and installed a new third A/C unit within a couple of hours of hearing you were too warm. Maintenance also promptly addressed the power outage, and we received several thank yous for quick responses to these issues during your stay.- The listing photos accurately depict the sleeping arrangements, and the description indicates that the property is a vintage New England-style cottage at the beach without central A/C, allowing guests to decide if the space works for their needs.- Evolve carefully sets competitive rates for the property based on a thorough analysis of the cottage and the surrounding area. We understand that value can feel different for everyone.We strive to provide every guest with a comfortable environment to get away to and relax.
