It was Paws and Relax!

The house was great! We loved the patios and the view of the ocean from the living room. The beach was nice and the neighborhood was quiet. Loved the view of the pier and the marshlands from the decks. Will definitely be back!

Hey Nikki! Fundamentally, our job is EASY! Make sure a home is as-advertised, clean and ready for our sunseekers arrival. Outside of Mother Nature, “the human condition” is the variable we assist with the most. Entomology, thermodynamics, veterinary medicine and even interior design are personal responsibilities our office has been tasked with advising on a case-by-case basis! We’ve got no direct lines to Mother Nature regrettably and ever more so, have no ability to guaranty personal vacation plans go untested. What we CAN guaranty is that IF something happens and our efforts can help, we certainly do! As far as for the success of your adventure, those kudos belong ENTIRELY to the positivity, planning and expectations of your party! We thank YOU for both respecting the home which served as a backdrop for these memories but even more importantly, the positivity and example you gifted of yourselves onto the Island! <3 Team SWRE!

Paws and Relax

The perfect spot and host for a beach getaway where you can truly unwind. You’ll get so used to the time you spend together with family at this house and in the town that you simply will not want to leave. It’s a beautiful oasis of togetherness and calm and this house is the perfect spot for it.

Beautiful home, wonderful stay!

Overall the home was wonderful. Beautiful ocean view, great decks! Just a few issues with the listing...it says there are 2 queens but they're not, one of the bedrooms is a bunk with 2 twin bunks in it (4 twins total) which I think people should know because it's not easy putting grown ups in those and also the tub in the master is a soaking tub, not a jacuzzi tub-no jets but still really nice! I'll definitely miss this house, it was a great time!

Great property, fun times. A few items on the description were inaccurate, such as having bunk beds instead of a queen bed in one bedroom, tub in master bath is not a jacuzzi tub, hot tub is definitely not a 8 person - maybe 5 max but that would be tight. There was no refrigerator on the outside wet bar as pictured. Also grill was left very unclean from the last guest so I spent about 45 minutes cleaning it before it could be used. All these items did not hamper our stay, although I do feel the description of the property should accurately portray what is actual. Thanks for making my birthday week a good one!

Beautiful property, with very close proximity to the beach, and would have loved to be able to use the property to "paws and relax" as intended, however due to a SEVERE German Cockroach infestation, this was anything but a relaxing getaway. After putting our bags down inside, we went to the grocery store and bought groceries for the weekend. After returning, we turned the lights on in the property to witness the roaches scatter all over the place. After alerting the property manager, the cleaning lady contacted us and informed us that these pests were brought to the property by another guest over a month before we stayed - a problem which we were NEVER notified of after we had booked the unit. Our options were either a) salvage a vacation but risk bringing the bugs back into our home or b) leave and still risk bringing the bugs back to our home. Management was aware of the issue and never alerted us to the problem prior to us showing up, and the added stress of spending a day going back and forth with them about what was "fair compensation" should have never needed to happen - we should have been alerted in advance. While management was responsive and the property is beautiful, it absolutely should be something that any and all guest are aware of PRIOR to their vacation.

Jared and his party were difficult to accommodate through a tricky, but manageable reservation. Post pest treatment, extra activity was detected (by the guest). Understanding the perception and discomfort that some may feel, we offered them the ability to leave and get refunded, or stay and receive a 50% refund in rent. They willingly chose the latter. What was really troubling was that after accommodating, they continued to ask for more... which was especially confusing after being overcompensated early in stay and catering to their asks wholly. This lack of teamwork, integrity and respect for the Owner and all involved damages future efforts when going above and beyond to accommodate guests with valid concerns, but unreasonable or changing demands. We've had no issues or shared concerns mirroring this parties with ANY guests since Jared's party. Despite the initial cordial dialogue, we would not be allowed to host again and could not recommend due to a lapse of integrity during the rental period.
