Nice place

Zero complaints. Nothing but good things to say about this property!

The home is lovely and well appointed. Some of our guests would have liked drapes as the morning sun is bright.As we were there in the winter it would have been nice if the heat had been turned on prior to our arrival. And this would have made the homeowner aware of the heat not working in the lower wing. We tried without success.There was no dry wood available for the fireplace which would have been nice to have readily available.We also had a windstorm which pointed out that the French doors in the Master Suite (lower) were unlatched and we needed help getting them latched as it was an unusual method.All in all, we had fun. It was supposed to be a lazy vacation and would come again. The homeowner could step it up if the winter season is something he is serious about pursuing.A "house-book" available on the island may have been of assistance instead of contacting the owner or looking through every door/drawer.In the end he made it right, and we are all adults with a sense of humour and no harm was done.

Upon arrival, we found that the house had not been appropriately cleaned. We did contact the owners and were offered an extra night of stay, but we unfortunately could not take them up on that offer and did not hear back from them. There were half filled cups on the porch, used water bottles in one of the rooms, a couple of dead bugs on some linens, and the garbage was overflowing in the metal shed in the backyard. When we opened some of the cabinets in the kitchen, we found mouse droppings in with the dishes and by the toaster. In addition to the cleanliness issues, there were bears and porcupines that visited daily to the property. They have a beautiful deck, but it wasn’t safe to use that space or to grill. We arrived after check-in on the first night and upon getting out of the car, hoards of mosquitos came out of the grass and clung to our clothes as we were trying to get our luggage into the house. Bugs seem to be an issue in general. We would often find ourselves waking up to find spiders or ants crawling on us in the night. The deck and gutters had hornets everywhere. The weather was quite warm and the downstairs common areas stayed cool, however, all of the bedrooms were exceedingly hot even while running the air conditioner all day. Some of the rooms have no curtains, so the heat coming in when the sun is up early warms the place quickly. Due to the warmer water in June, there were jellyfish everywhere. It made beach play exceedingly difficult for the kids.
