Front door was open when we arrived, the door knob fell off the bathroom door had to fix it, killed couple spiders, only had 4 towels and 4 wash clothes for 4 people for 4 nights, shower was dirty hair all on in it, kitchen sink fixture was very loose yard needs cleaning, and was given number to host by Vrbo would not answer the phone on concerns. Was told by residents the host hardly ever responds to anyone. Other than that it’s in a nice location
It was very easy to find. We really enjoyed the Backyard. It has a Large Firepit & Grill that we used every night. Would rent again in the future !
Good location, walk to beach. Great response time from manager.
This place was clean, comfortable and enjoyable.
Lovely beach to swim at (no mosquitoes there!). Nestled in a long row of houses, this house was lovely inside, with a nice, stocked backyard (where we were eaten alive by mosquitoes, so we stayed inside mostly. )
We had a great stay at Carlos's property. Everything was as described and pictured. The backyard is the best part of this house!
We loved that this house was on an island and within walking distance to the beach! Super comfy beds. It was, however, difficult to really settle in because of little nuances such as trim coming off the walls and floor, broken chairs, dirty storage areas, etc. Because of our younger we had to be on constant watch that they didn’t make any of these things worse.
It was my birthday and we needed somewhere to stay because I was visiting a couple friends on Harsens Island. So I went online on vrbo and found this Cottage was available and at an affordable price. The place was clean, and had a nice coffee bar. One of my favorite things about the cottage is the fact that they had extra soft linens for the bed. I am picky To top it off they had three different types of pillows. One was therapeutic, the other one was firm and dense, and the third one was fluffy and airy. So no matter what you're liking is, it was taken care of. We had a couple questions regarding entry and the TV and the owner was right on it! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cottage!
Location was good, beds were comfy, shower was hot. Cleaning crew needs to be replaced: Floors needed to be mopped when we got there, airfryer was left dirty and bbq was dirty and needed to be cleaned before we vould use it and patio and yard needed to be cleared. No laundry facilities. Other than that ? ok.
The private beach is deceptive in the pictures
Loved the location and was just a wonderful place to enjoy.
We were only able to locate one of the two beaches, but that was okay with us. There were a few things that could have been repaired (door handles, dress drawers, etc), but nothing that really affected our ability to enjoy the time there. Carlos was extremely good with communication and accommodating. There were several nice touches such as a bottle of wine, shampoo/conditioner, and small bath towels on site. We would visit again.
Cute getaway for the weekend. The island coffee shop is closed Monday and Tuesday but the coffee bar at the house was nice. Easy access to the beach. Kitchen was perfect for meal preps. Enjoyable stay.
The outside of the house, yard and patio really needs a good clean up. The inside was like the photos. The communication with Carlos the owner was excellent. Any questions we had were answered right away. We had an issue with the internet the second day we were there and he fixed it remotely. The beds were very comfortable, coffee bar was stocked, drinking water dispenser was great to have, central air kept the place cool, shampoo, conditioner and soap were provided and appreciated. The beach was the best part. It was a 5 min walk from the house. It would have been nice to have a wagon provided to bring our chairs and cooler but we managed. I have a feeling this is a newer listing and the owner is continuing to work on it. I would rent again, the price and location made it all worth it.
Cute house within walking distance to a private little beach
The stay here was nice, the ferry ride was and experience in it self for me. Only thing I didn’t like was the tv’s couldn’t keep a signal so there was no tv for the three day we were there.
The outside of the house is not taken care of. The gutters are falling off and have trees growing in them. When we pulled up to the house it was not what I had expected from the photos. The inside was okay and as expected from the photos. The provided linens, coffee, and shampoo/conditioner/soap, was nice.
The owner is very welcoming and responds quickly to any questions. The inside of the house is nicely done. The owner was very generous with amenities.
We had a great stay. The house was clean and had most everything we needed. The lake is beautiful. Everything was easy to find around the island. The only down side was there are lots of mosquitos. Bring bug spray and citronella. Other than that it was wonderful. The owner answered all my questions. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Exactly what it said it was. The nearness of the private beach was all the kids talked about.
Overall it was a great experience. Perfect for what we were looking for!
