Too many issues with this property to enumerate. Read the comments from others carefully. I saw no appreciable changes.
There are at least 4 major safety hazards at this property. My wife brought up several problems to the owner Margaret and she actually call me wife a LIAR. Why would someone even do that?
Let me begin by saying that the view was EXACTLY as pictured and the quiet, relaxing location we had hoped for, convenient to all attractions. Now- the unit was DIRTY!!!! The runners of the doors were FILLED with bugs!!! There was evidence of rodents in the kitchen cabinets- mouse poop on a cutting board & chewed up dish detergent packets!!! Crumbs in ALL the drawers, especially the silverware tray!!! The sheets barely fit the beds! The A/C units: 1) needed to be placed into the windows; 2) were awkward to move into place due to the hosing being short; 3) didn't cool the unit as desired. We contacted the owner regarding the dirt & rodents. She informed us that the unit had been cleaned just prior to our arrival and expressed doubt about the pictures we had sent with the dirty images being from her unit!!?? (Why would we send pictures from somewhere else?) She also said an exterminator would be sent over- we never heard more about that. Ultimately, the VERY POOR, disgusting conditions motivated us to LEAVE TWO DAYS EARLY!!!
The property was very nice. The only issue was trouble getting in when we first arrived. The owner was quick to assist and issue was resolved. No problems or issues after that. Very relaxing vacation with beautiful view of sunset over the harbor.
The location was great. The house was smaller than I expected, but the large roof deck over the garage, made the stay.
Overall the place was fantastic for our 2 families, (2 adults & 4 kids, 11-13 y.o.). We enjoyed the views of the water, the large deck was great. Based on previous reviews we anticipated more ants than we encountered & knew to expect some dampness on the lower level. Communication with the host was disappointing. On the day of arrival I had to send a message about how we get in. In my experience hosts would make sure the incoming guests were aware before the day of check in. The refrigerator was not working, she brought us a mini fridge, however did not reach out after that to see if everything was ok. Our cars were broken into overnight & things we stolen. We messaged the host to see if she was aware of any break ins in the neighborhood and she never responded, for the remainder of the stay. The break in took place on the 2nd night. We contacted police & reported it. Her lack of response was disappointing, especially since when we reached out about the refrigerator, she responded quick to our email. In addition we brought yard games.and unfortunately could not play due to the lawn being so long. It clearly had not been mowed for a couple weeks.
Excellent views!
I was worried about the resent reviews before I got there. The dehumidifier worked great for the downstairs. I emptied it 2 or 3 times a day. Everything we needed and more was provided for us. The only bugs or fly's where the one that followed us though the 3 big beautiful sliding glass doors.
Unfortunately we had to suck it up and stay at this location because we booked our CT trip very last minute Yes the views are nice and the location very quiet However general maintenance is not occurring on this property. Many bugs in kitchen and bathrooms. So bad in the downstairs my daughter wouldn’t sleep down there. She had to turn a sofa upstairs into her bedroom. We would have left if we could have found a hotel opening somewhere . We did take many pictures and sent them to the owner. She sent the exterminator to spray while we were there. Black fly’s in the downstairs bathroom still continued even after spraying. Exterminator said they were due to something dead in the walls like mice. Outside of this property is fully covered in weeds and overgrowth. Seems a landscaper is needed to clean up everything which could also get rid of the bug issues. Bedding in this home feels old like a grandmas house . They would benefit from clean white linens and fresh white paint all on the inside of this house . Overall this house should be taken off rental market and rehabbed The owner is collecting A large sum of money weekly, They definitely should be putting money into maintaining this property properly We travel extensively staying all around the US in rental properties. This one is the worst . My review will be followed by a nasty response from the owner. Be prepared. I know the truth is hard sometimes but hopefully she will see it as a way to improve her property and raise the value of her rental property .
This was by FAR the worst place we have ever stayed. Please read all reviews BEFORE booking this house. The view was great and the location was great. The house would never pass a codes enforcement inspection. Ants everywhere, mold and standing water on the floor lower level, taped wiring over stairs, cheap everything. Just like the other reviews, we would STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND! Mystic is an amazing area but don't stay here. Everything said in other reviews is all true. Totally misrepresented.
