Not planning a return visit

Although this property is very nice in many repects, it is becoming apparent that the owner lives out of state and is not keeping up with things. The owner was very particular about her expectations of renters, but upon arrival we found several problems. The shower in the second bath was not functional, the dock was unsound and unusable for any purpose and a safety hazzard, as were both advertised boat lifts. The mooring buoy had a chain which was so worn that it broke, which nearly resulted in extensive damage to an award winning classic boat. The seat on the couch was torn and an extensive wasp nest on an exterior wall posed a constant hazard. She forgot to mention that the the property nextdoor was an active construction site with dust and noise. The property was left by us in as good if not better condition than when we arrrived. We attempted to take care of the wasps. To top things off our security deposit was never returned despite multiple attempts to contect her. Her only response was "I'm on it this weekend" (that was over 2 months ago). We tried to be patient and give her more time that the promised 2 weeks. It has been 4 months. It is too bad but we certainly will not be back. Renters beware!

Linda,
We have loved staying at your place the past few summers. The place is always clean and neat, comfortable with the AC, and the bath/shower in both areas is EXCELLENT! … the furniture is very clean and confortable - especially the beds! We have found everything we need waiting for us when we arrive. …We have stayed in several different places over the past decade or so and the fact that we have returned to yours speaks for itself. Count us in for 2012.
My best,

We would highly recommend this home.The home is in the perfect location for boating, sightseeing, swimming, or just watching the sunset and listening to the waves.Well maintained, clean, beautiful home inside and out, very comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet with paved streets for walking or biking. Far from the congestion but a short drive to everything you could possible need in Indian River or the surrounding area.Owner was a joy to work with and very helpful - very positive experience.

Would not rent again

Beautiful home and property, but 6 weeks later, still have not received security deposit, after several calls and emails. Smoke alarms all went off in the middle of the night, with half the house locked up "off-limits" so could not tell if the place was on fire or a false alarm. No compensation offered except to pay for a hotel if we wanted to leave a day early. Unorganized and unprofessional owner.
Owner's Response: We have done everything we could for this customer. We rented to them for a considerably reduced rate because they found a loophole in our listing and we felt we had a moral obligation to honor it (they got the cheapest winter rate possible in the middle of our peak summer holiday season). The contract they signed said that we would hold the security deposit for at least a week after their stay ended. This was only four weeks ago and the security deposit and a credit for their inconvenience has been sent back to them. The whole-house fire alarm system had one low battery chirp going off every 2 minutes in a remote part of the house; this is obviously different than a fire alarm going off. When we were informed of the problem we apologized profusely and sent maintenance out immediately to fix the problem. We received a call at 10pm that night and were told that the fire alarm was "going off" (chirping) again, that they had contacted their attorney and wanted to climb through a window into the unfinished top floor of our home to fix it themselves. We asked them not to do that and offered to send maintenance over again to ensure the problem was fixed. We were then told not to send anyone over, the doors were locked and they would not be let in. We offered compensation for the night and got hung up on but we sent it with the security deposit anyway. We will bend over backwards for all of the folks that stay at Cedarset because we love to share our home, but it is not a discount motel with a caretaker on the premises and that is apparently what these folks wanted. These folks were only the second guests to stay at Cedarset since we opened our doors to the public and we are disappointed that they were not happy with their stay. We would like to assure our future guests that we will do everything we can to ensure they have a relaxing and enjoyable stay..
