DELUXE BEACH LOG HOME-ONE NITE FREE CLAM/OYSTER WATERCRAFT INCLUDED

The property was clean and in good condition. The photos, on the whole, accurately reflected the property and its amenities.
It is somewhat misleading to refer to three bathrooms and it would have been helpful if, instead of simply stating that the,property sleeps 14, detailed information as to numbers to be accommodated in each bedroom and types of bed were set out in the listing information. For instance the presence of bunk beds in one of the bedrooms should have been included in the information.
The close proximity of the property to that of the owner was a distinct disadvantage. Like some other reviewers we were very conscious of being overlooked.
It is fully understood that the property must contain instructions for residents but we disliked the almost threatening tone in these notices - we note that a previous tenant referred to "admonitions". The owner needs to realise that this all struck an unpleasant note. She would be well advised to redraft her instructions etc making them more welcoming.
In this day and age, it is unacceptable that payment by bank transfer was not available. We have rented properties etc overseas before and in recent years the accepted method of payment has been by bank transfer. All this in the run up to the holiday led to inconvenience to us as clients and to a sense of mistrust.
We found the demand for all the payment to be up front, in cash, as soon as we arrived to be rather unsavoury - not least by the manner in which this was communicated.
In common with an earlier reviewer we were not happy with the promise of repayment of our hefty deposit to be after 14 days and the owner was extremely reluctant to agree to our request for the erefund to be made by certified cheque (the form in which she had demanded our payment!) by recorded delivery.
It was disappointing that the owner refused our request to accompany us at the end of our stay on a check through all the rooms. We are extremely experienced at leaving properties in pristine condition and the lack of trust that had been engendered by the owner led me to make this request in order to cover ourselves.
The charge of 5 dollars for the replacement of a very mundane wine glass (one of an ill assorted collection of cheap glasses) was over the top. If I had simply bought a cheap replacement glass from a supermarket noone would have a
The kitchen was not very well quipped considering that 14 residents are envisaged. The electric kettle provided was ludicrously small in si

Our stay here was wonderful. For a family reunion it is perfect! It sleeps up to 14 & has all the amenities.
There is a hot tub, pool table & telescope in the solarium to watch the cruise ships & wild life.
There's a wood burning stove in the livingroom which makes it very cozy.
Everything is immaculate!
It's ocean front property. There are lots of eagles, herons & otters to watch.
The owner was very helpful answering all our questions.
I would definitely recommend this for a vacation.

We rented the beach log home and due to the large contingent of family we had to rent additional rooms at Shady Shores Beach resort which was conveniently located on the adjacent property. This gave us a wide range of accommodations giving those who wished private rooms right up to the more communal living of the large log home. The location was perfect. We were right on the beach which became the main focus of most of our rec time. We collected clams and oysters, which seemed to be almost inexhaustible. There were the tide pools with all sorts of life which gave the kids [ of all ages ] lots to do. We were also lucky enough to be there when a run of salmon was happening. We could see them jumping all over the place. The fish also brought a contingent of seals and eagles and of coarse fishermen. At night we had fires on the beach and I was amazed at the lack of annoying insects. Because we had rooms at both places we had access to all of the activities such as canoeing and kayaking along the shore,bocci ball, badminton and croquet to occupy our time. The kids loved Horne
Lake caves and Cathedral Grove while the rest of us golfed or shopped or both. We unfortunately didn't do any fishing although there obviously was good fishing right off the shore or we could have gone to the nearby marina to rent a charter. All in all the entire group of us 23 loved the place. Would highly recommend for any type of vacation.
