Not Good
Review Submitted: April 14, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2008
The most disgusting house I have ever stayed in. Filthy, moldy. Furniture and beds are so old. Deck is in disrepair and patio furniture was gross. We stayed there last year- 2008. The website photos are old and deceiving.
Owner's Response: Why did this tenant wait almost one year to post this attack? Her criticism is without merit. The house is cleaned thoroughly after every tenant. All linens and towels, most of which were bought for this season, are laundered. Mattresses are very high quality Hi-Resilience Carbamate foam rubber, costing $800 each. The house was completely repainted inside and out the year before. The deck was redone and railings repainted in the spring of 2008, a few months before she arrived. The patio furniture is also almost new, some bought the year before and some also in spring 2008. There is a completely new sea wall built in April, also before she arrived, and costing $80,000. The photos I post are very accurate and current, showing the house as it is.
I think I remember this tenant, arriving with her family, and complaining about a few grains of sand on the living room floor. I explained that I had walked through the house after vacuuming, and that living on the beach, a bit of sand is always brought in with you. After she checked out and I came to clean the house, I found a salad spinner in the sink with a bit of dried spinach in it that an earlier tenant had not cleaned properly. With the spinner was a note from this tenant saying "I found this in the cupboard. Disgusting!"
I put a lot of effort into making my house clean, comfortable, and elegant. There are quilts on all beds and many bronze sculptures and paintings throughout. Much of the furniture are valuable antiques. One piece, an antique Chinese desk, was bought by my father during his travels to China in 1930. I rarely have complaints and have always been able to fix these within hours of being told about the problem. Many of my tenants have complemented the historic charm of this unique house.
