Beautiful place with great location, but needs some attention

We loved the location of the property and the overall arrangement and layout. However, it was not as clean as we would have like (mold on both shower curtains, items left under beds and in drawers by previous renters). Also, the coffee maker did not work, and I had to call twice to get told to go purchase one, and I would get reimbursed. One ceiling fan on the porch did not work. I reported this but never heard back from the property manager. Finally, we were told there was power at the end of the walkway to the dock. That power cable had been severed. In spite of these problems, the porch is fabulous, and we enjoyed beautiful sunsets while swimming from the dock. The house is spacious and worked well for our family of five adults. We would rent again if we knew these problems had been fixed.

Host response:

Thanks for your feedback. Fan is being replaced...very difficult to do while guests are there. Let us know if you did not get reimbursed for the coffee pot and thanks for getting this. Would have take a while for us to get one to you. Not sure what happened on the power as we have not had power on dock for years...took it off for safety reasons and there is no need for power on the dock. We will address the under bed items with cleaners. Also, they do not typically check drawers for things left behind unless a previous guest has alerted us to this. Again, thanks for your feedback. We work diligently to have the properties as good as we can. Please come back.

Highlights: Size, Great location

Could improve: Cleaning, Manager Communication, Maintenance Issue

Great house on the water.

We had a great time although short at the house. Our son got married at Hidden Cover so it worked out well. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an awesome house on the water. Thanks again!! David & Linda Wheeler
