We had a great stay! The house was big enough to hold at one point for our stay 12 adults, 1 infant, 1 kid, and 2 dogs, and we still had a bit more room. Eddi and her team were great to communicate with when we reached out with questions.

Exactly what we were looking for

The location was perfect for our trip, and our children absolutely loved it! Eddi was always available and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met! The home was a great place to eat, shower, chill, and have fun in the evenings after spending our days hiking at the Dunes and hanging at the beach. Would recommend!

It sounds like you had a great experience at the house! It's always a bonus when a place is clean, well-stocked, and provides little touches like coffee and tea. Did you have a chance to cook any big meals together in that kitchen?

Great place

This house was very comfortable. Needs a couple updates on the outside stuff, but looks like product has been purchased to do that. It was still a very nice home to stay in. The owners were super responsive to any issues that I did experience. Very happy with the accomodations and would feel comfortable, recommending it to others with a large group.

Overall stay was amazing and very accommodating for the amount of people we had . It fit us all comfortably. Location was perfect. Very close to beach and park and local stores. The host was very accessible and accommodating to any issues and requests we had . Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. I feel like the floors could have been a little cleaner upon arrival, some linen was rolled up in closets so we were unsure if they were clean ? Very minor things overall would recommend and stay again .

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry the timing of the lawn maintenance wasn’t ideal for you. Our lawn care team services multiple properties, so scheduling can sometimes be tricky, especially in the summer when daylight lasts longer. We do our best to provide notice when possible and keep the property well-maintained for guests. I appreciate you sharing your perspective and will keep your comments in mind for future scheduling.

Weekend Retreat

The house was nice and clean. Everything was provided to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We just had one issue - the kitchen outlets were not working except for one by the sink but we were able to work around it. We’re not sure what happened because we couldn’t reset the GFCI. The last renter may have tripped the breaker but all in all, it was a great stay! Thank you, Eddi! Until our next Bible Study retreat!

Needs cleaned

We booked it because it slept the number of people well but the floors were so dirty that our feet were black on the bottoms of we walked bare foot. Screened in back porch was poorly kept- broken door and windows without glass or screens and just dirty everywhere! . “Lock” for the sliding patio door was also just a piece of wood that didn’t fit well and really did not secure the house when “locked” Liked the location for what we wanted to do but the remodel of this place was done very cheapAnd it shows everywhere in the house.

Thank you for your feedback. I sincerely apologize that the place didn’t meet expectations upon arrival. As I had mentioned earlier, the previous guests unfortunately left the home in poor condition, and despite our best efforts to turn it around quickly, some impact remained. We’re taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again and appreciate your understanding.
