    This house was beautifully located and could be an exceptional house. Upon arrival the downstairs area was a little cool but upstairs was uncomfortably warm. We gave it overnight to see if it would cool down but alas it did not. We contacted the homeowners and were assured that a servicemen would arrive. The service man worked on the units but was unable to make the repairs. The owner was again contacted as we were with elderly people and a cancer patient. The owner sent the serviceman back and he tried to fix it.. saying that it is in need of extensive repair. We were forced to open windows and doors for air flow on all levels of the floor.. needless to say nights were beyond rough. Railings to deck stairs are rickety and if someone were to lean against would probably fall. Remotes to tvs and ceiling fans and lights were a mess.. several corroded. The first night fire alarms chirped all night … needed new batteries.. one smoke detector was hidden in a hallway drawer so a seek and find mission was underway to locate it. Owners were alerted and replaced all batteries. It is a shame because it’s a cute house with much potential but is in need of maintenance. I’m closing the ocean kayak that my husband wanted to enjoy was non existent. Needless to say we will never rent this property again.

    Property poorly maintained. Outside railings out of moorings. Floor boards popping up . Dangerous! Pictures misleading and not up to date. Barely sat 6 at table. No dining for 10 as listed. Linen package was of VERY poor quality. Had to go buy our own towels. Previous renters linen stayed on front porch all week. All kitchen utensils and pans were soiled. No lids for the pans or the 1 small pot provided. Owners were responsive by email n text but were not helpful to rectify situations during our stay. AC leaking into bedroom large amounts. Moldy vents and ceilings.View and location only positive of stay.

    Let me first say that the location and view of the beach is awesome. But the house needs some updating and maintenance. The first night that we arrived (after we paid extra for linens), the wrong linens were delivered. We contacted the owner, who was rude and stated we could go to Walmart and go get linens if we needed them. We slept the first night on clearly unwashed comforters with no linens. The next day the linens were delivered and the owner stated he would refund us the cost of the linens due to the inconvenience. I have contacted them for a week now and they are now refusing to issue a refund. The deck has boards that have popped up creating a trip hazard as well as deck handrails that are coming off. The house could really use a cleaning. The curtains and shower liners were very dirty. The kitchen is not well stocked and doesn’t have a pan or knives that are actually usable. The dishwasher is literally falling forward out of the cabinets, The faucets are loose. There is no garbage disposal. The fenced in area under the house was full of trash and rotting ears of corn and broken boogie boards. The sewer pipe is leaking under the house into the outdoor shower stall. The whole front yard is overgrown. The upstairs bedroom has a 2 inch difference in the doorway and floor which caused many family members to trip. There was not a single roll of toilet paper in the house, just two empty. A welcome letter or some kind of list of area attractions would also have been nice.

    Check in was simple and the communication was great. Great location. If you are planning on doing some cooking you may need to bring some pots they went from a bunch of saucers to one BIG POT.

    Location & views were amazing, communication was good, but we showed up to a filthy house. I contacted the host immediately. There was trash laying around, hair and toothpaste on the bathroom sinks and dirty bathtubs. dirty deodorant laying on the floor, and also a dirty bathing suit laying outside. food crumbs all over the table and counters. And the floors were filthy. I contacted the host, and they offered a refund us 250 or to come clean. I said to come clean, I should have taken the money, but thought 250 was a joke. We had already started cleaning by the time they showed up, so most of the nasty stuff was gone. So really all they had to do was sweep the floors and wipe down a few things. The host did apologize, but it made are vacation start out with a very sour taste in or mouths. and we were very disappointed. And if we had not driven a long way or had a beautiful view of the ocean, we would have left immediately. I would like to say I would stay again, But I will not be.

    We loved the area underneath the house that is fenced in so the dogs could go out. Beautiful ocean views from the living room. Great location and had a wonderful time

    Hovey House was GREAT. My family had not had a vacation in years and this week was perfect. We caught fish, kids done the educational tour of the Wright's Brothers Memorial and enjoyed the local go-carts. Host was very involved and professional. Will stay there again.

    This was our second year staying at this house and it really was an oceanfront oasis. Everything was clean and inviting as we walked in and ocean view and access is excellent. The owners were very accommodating and easy to reach.

    Not very clean-some things need replaced - they are old, broken or dirty. (Vents, underneath bed, wood looked moldy in one bathroom, dirt/trash disgusting under dishwasher (yuck)… comforters dirty stinky(we used our own) Places in the home could be cleaned better. Repairs are half/ass and look it… cheap Air didn’t work correctly at first and we reported it and ask for fans. The temp in the home got to 90- owners said there is a Walmart if we wanted fans.. not very accommodating…We had elderly people with us with COPD… The air finally got fixed..
