Disliked: Communication
Not a home away from home
This property doesn't provide linens. If you don't want to pay their partner company for pillow cases, sheets, towels, kitchen towels, etc, you have to lug your own. You also need to bring your own toilet paper. Very inconvenient.

From New England Vacation Rentals- We normally hear from our guests how happy their stay was and how much they appreciate our communication including our emails welcoming all to the Cape with useful info from what to pack and how to enjoy their time on the Cape. It seems unfortunate for you that you neglected to familiarize your self with the homes description and our policies before booking this home. We do state in the homes description right up front if a home comes with linens or not. Bringing linens from home is truly a Cape Cod tradition. We have guests who have totes marked Cape Cod with their linens in them to bring every year. We also state that we do provide a guest started bag with toilet paper, paper towels and other single use items to get our guests started. Non of our homes provide hotel like amenities which is also stated on our website under guest services and in several emails sent to all guests. We want all guests to have a nice experience at our homes which is why we provide such thorough information.
1. One of the bathrooms had no electricity for lights and for fan, so complete darkness after 8 pm until 4 am and it was not a fuse that died. Being inventive, we use an extension cord and a table lamp, but not all tenant are so accommodating and inventive for that price, I am so sure. It is very hard not to notice between tenants while inspecting and cleaning. Reported to NE Vacation Rentals - no reply of any sort.2. Outside grill had no working temperature control, so no matter of dial position it was heating up to 450 degree Celsius. We had to open and close the cover many times to control the temperature! Reported, no response of any sort.3. NE Real Estate and / or VRBO is charging a step price for cleaning after stay, but still threatening to charge 250 additional fee, if - and there going a long list of potential mistake a tenant could make - all furniture is exactly in place, all dishes are cleaned, all in house is tidy, all from fridge is taken, so on, so forth, as if the tenants haven't paid for cleaning. The whole intimidation of even additional fee of 250 is sort of diminishing, given no lights in bathroom, grill has no temp. control, and imaging this - they pick up trash with a loud beeps when truck backs down the long driveway at 6:30 am.4. Otherwise house is very well supplied, beautiful inside and out, it's just the cleaning crew doesn't care at all / maintenance of it in the absence of owners is substandard. Such a shame for such a beautiful house.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your detailed comments and are very sorry to hear that parts of your stay did not meet expectations. The electrical issue in the bathroom and the grill temperature control have both been inspected and addressed. We apologize that these problems occurred during your visit and that our communication fell short. That is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we’re reviewing our maintenance and response procedures with the team to ensure timely follow-up for future guests. Regarding the cleaning fee and checkout guidelines, these are standard across our listings to help maintain the property’s high standards between guests. However, we certainly don’t intend for these instructions to feel intimidating, and we’ll be revising the language to make it clearer and more welcoming. We’re very glad you enjoyed the home’s amenities and setting. Thank you again for your feedback as it helps us improve both our home and our guests’ experience.
We enjoyed our trip very much. We were close to the banks St beach although we drove a few minutes extra to go to Red River beach because we preferred it. The location of the house was great and they had everything we needed in the kitchen. The deck was wonderful to sit on and relax. The trees surrounding the property kept it nice and cool. We did find a lot of long black hair in the bathrooms (none of us have black hair lol), but we chose not to call about it because it just seemed like a hassle to have someone come and clean so we cleaned it up ourselves. Check in was easy and the combination door was very easy to work. Plenty of room and great shops and restaurants near by. We did have some issue with a neighbor across the street, he was creepy and we couldn’t figure out what his problem was but he would drive down the middle of the road and wouldn’t move to the right and then he’d slow his truck down next to ours and put his head out the window and stare at us, he even drove slowly in front of the house and stared in so we started shutting the blinds. Otherwise it’s a great house and we had an enjoyable stay.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Aoibhneas. The home is lovely and centrally located and we are so happy you were able to relax on the back deck. We are sorry you had an uneasy experience with the neighbor, we wish you had contacted the authorities. We will share this experience with the owner. We do hope to have you as our guest again in the future. - New England Vacation Rentals
The home was cute, neighborhood lovely, and back deck spacious. Loved the deck and very private.

Perfect for a Cape vacation
We've been staying at Cape rentals for the last three seasons and this property was the best by far. Sometimes it's difficult to tell from pictures and 'words' what the property is like but this one lived up to the billing. It was clean, well appointed with extra's including central air conditioning, excellent appliances, i.e., fridge, washer, dryer, grill, outdoor furniture, plenty of parking, etc. It is, like many properties, about 2 miles from the water but is a straight shot without stressful traffic.
It was perfect for two Seniors, 1 son with 2 teenage Grands who came for several days.
As you can tell, I would recommend to anyone. We'll be going to England next year so might skip the Cape.

Home like vacation spot
We had a nice experience at our rental. It is convenient to rte. 6, supermarket, favorite eateries, access to beaches etc. and the street was very quiet. The house was welcoming and provided us with every convenence including wifi and central air. A couple opportunites ...The sofa had many old stains . The braided rugs were soiled, and I did not care for the snake like driveway. All in all I would consider this house again.
Thank You
