Mariners Cove Waterfront - Private Dock, Pet Friendly, Wi-Fi, Off-Street Parking

After a long day of traveling we r finally headed to the house at 11:30 pm and I go to the VRBO app to look up instructions again to enter the home and there was a new message …. Sorry your reservations have been cancelled . No txt , no Call or help on an alternative place. It was homecoming and football weekend so everything was sold out or hotel prices were sky high. Very disappointed

We had an amazing stay at Mariners Cove! The location was beautiful and peaceful — perfect for relaxing and fishing. The trip was truly unforgettable. The house could use a little bit of work in a few areas, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. My family and I absolutely loved it and would definitely come back again!

Negative part— Carpet was dirty or stained multiple places both floors, dinning chair legs are loose not very sturdy to sit on, shower up stairs main room bath very low pressure out of shower head and refrigerator beeps all the time. Also grill was left dirty from previous stays just get rid of it, not safe on a wooden deck. Main bath also had an outside window that was covered by the vanity window, strange. The house upkeep you can tell its a DIY project. Positive part. Very nice view of the bay which is what your paying for, house has 4 lrg bedrooms, kitchen was a nice size with gas stove and new cabinets, and the furniture was ok given the abuse it gets. Also had ants on the counter in the kitchen but that was taking care of by the people that run or own the place, and they did respond back quick.

Beautiful and convenient location. Only gripe is the cleanliness of the space. The drawers still had leftover food and the bath tub upstairs was filled with water. The sink was clogged with food from previous visitors. There was a lack of blankets. Overall, still a pleasant stay and would recommend. My family had a great time.

Positives that I would like to highlight: wonderful view of the bay and a great location (All the activities we wanted to do were less than half an hour away). Secondly, the home is large and spacious. We booked this place knowing it would meet our needs of a place to sleep and relax after a day's activities. That being said, here were the things that negatively impacted our stay: the home was cold and we had to set the temp higher than normal just to get it warm. The furniture was not in the best condition; we did not use any of the dining chairs and felt safer having our children sit on the couch. The outlets are extremely worn and would not hold a plug. Lucky enough, we brought a power strip and used it to charge all of our devices. The TV was hit or mis, we had to constantly unplug it from the outlet and back in for it to power on. The floors were uneven in a lot of places, some that made you question if it was safe to put all your weight on one foot. Comparing photos again, it looks like furniture was rearranged or some replace. All in, the home appeared mostly the same -- under remodel/repais.

This property was an absolute nightmare. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was a complete disaster. The entire property reeked of cigarettes, and the filth was overwhelming. There were stains everywhere—on the carpet, walls, furniture, and even the columns. The fridge was moldy, and the water dispenser on the door was oxidized and full of rust. The living room sofa was broken, and the dining chairs were unstable because of missing screws.To make matters worse, the property had leaks in the ceiling and around the windows, adding to the already disgusting and unsafe conditions. We even had to clean the property ourselves upon arrival. When we complained, the host sent a so-called cleaning lady who was rude, disrespectful, and showed up empty-handed—without a single cleaning supply. She had the audacity to be upset about being called at 6 PM and refused to address the disgusting state of the property.The terrible conditions even affected my health. I was sick throughout my entire visit, likely from the unsanitary environment, and was forced to rent an extra day because I wasn’t well enough to drive back to Florida.As if that wasn’t bad enough, these scammers fraudulently charged my account an additional 300, falsely claiming we left a mess. Thankfully, we had taken before-and-after pictures to prove the condition of the property when we arrived and when we left. When VRBO contacted the host to provide proof of their accusations, they failed to do so. .

First off…our family did have a great time at this property. The location is perfect and being on the water with the huge dock was awesome! We also the loved upper and lower waterfront decks. The hosts were so nice and so responsive. There was an issue as soon as we arrived that he came to the house and we were able to discuss. Having said that, the inside is in need of repair. The living room furniture is very dated and doesn’t look clean. The carpet is need of removal or replacement. The dishwasher didn’t work and the TV didn’t work. We stayed 2 nights and there was only one towel per person. Only 2 kitchen towels in the entire house and no washer/dryer. The kitchen didn’t have enough coffee cups or plates for how many people the house could sleep. The outdoor chairs on the lower deck are in need of being thrown away. Thankfully we had our own bag chairs in the car. The grill that is advertised is not in working order and is barely standing. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms are really nice and large although lacking proper lighting.The house could be so nice. There definitely needs to be some serious TLC on the inside. Stocking the kitchen with more dishes, maybe a pizza pan, pizza cutter, etc and more towels throughout would be a good start. Not sure what we would have done if we had stayed longer with no more towels and no way to wash the ones we had. We all feel like we spent way more on this rental than it was worth.

It was obvious the house was in need of professional work, DIY was very obvious. This four bedroom house that sleeps 11 only had three forks. The kitchen was very sparse, but large. It was a good the store was close that we were able to stock up on plastic and paper products. Unfortunately, this was our Thanksgiving meal with the family. However, the space was large with a beautiful backdrop.

The draw of this property is the dock and you cannot even hear the road noise from the back. Unfortunately, the renovations are incomplete, the interior lighting is abysmal, and the deck is unwalkable due to the bird poop. If the owners power wash the deck, clean/replace the sofa, replace the kitchen flooring, and add more interior lighting - this place can shine.

The original address we opted for while booking on June 10 2023 was something and Then on July 21 morning around 7 AM , I received an email saying that the original property which I chose would not be available and another option would be available. And at this instance, me and my friend's family were already on the way and in no ideal situation to take a look at the alternate property wisely.We had taken a lot of effort choosing the first property keeping kids and families in mind. The description in vrbo claims that it has a waterfront deck open and shareable. But when we took our kids to the deck especially to the long boardwalk, we noticed it was shaky and broken(as attached). And also , there were issues like the bathroom located near the kitchen did not have the latch for closing it from inside. There were no porch lights, it becomes even worse when we are having toddlers. The location had an image of the extended walk on to the bay. When we wanted to go to the deck another person didn’t allow us and told its his property. We did not find basic kitchen groceries I.e. salt,sugar,etc which usually we get after check in. The master bedroom bathroom didn’t have a latch. There were parking issues. There was wrong charges charged to my card while booking and I was told that would be refunded immediately after check out but it had been now more than couple of weeks but no refund is processed.
