OK place bad people
Review Submitted: July 23, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
Sliding doors had maintenance problems that no one had fix for a long time. Clean up people called on the last day and were very rude. Loudly advised my 80 year old mother not to be there when they get there. Also make sure that the place is spotless or it will be deducted from your damage deposit. Find an other place.
Owner's Response: In the 9 years I have been renting the cottage, I have never kept any portion of the damage deposit for cleaning purposes, nor I do not charge a cleaning fee.
And after having given these guests an early (free) check-in and allowing a 4 day rental, instead of the usual 7, this was what my housekeeper walked into:
Every light was on (at 11 a.m.), windows were left open, downstairs heat was on (74 degrees), newspapers everywhere, food all over, pieces of paper and wrappers on the floor, wet towels on the carpet, fridge needed to be completely cleaned, dishes not done, garbage (half eaten food) in a beer box on the floor, other garbage not taken out, every counter and table covered in crumbs and smudge, pamphlets strung all over and the coffee maker left on and dirty.
Of the hundreds of guests I have had in 9 years, 99.9% of them respect that this is a private home. Even if they are messy or break things, I do not withhold the deposit. These folks were, unfortunately, one of the rare cases.
I am very sorry they did not enjoy their stay.
