Fins and Feathers is very well decorated and is in a great location for bird watchers. There were a few issues which made the stay less than perfect. The kitchen is a bit of a jumble with the utensils and pots and pans thrown haphazardly into the drawers and cabinets. The pans are warped and scratched and making scrambled eggs was a challenge. The utensils next to the stovetop were melted and discolored. The cabinets were full of nice wine glasses, but covered in fingerprints and old drip marks. This may be due to the dishwasher which seemed to be not working properly. Even with the dry cycle on the dishes were wet afterwards. The two sets of towels in the master bath were covered in lint and were slick and unusable. Maybe they were washed with one of the bed blankets and a generous amount of Downy. We ended up using the towels from the hallway bath which were fine. These problems are most likely due to housekeeping and if addressed would make this a five star property.

Hi Michelle, we're glad you enjoyed the home's location and décor! The homeowner would like to address your comments with the following:
- We’re sorry to hear that the kitchen felt disorganized to you; we want to clarify that while we aim to stock a well-equipped kitchen, items are not stored haphazardly, and we do our best to use the space efficiently. The pans have since been replaced.
- The towels in the main bathroom were newly purchased and had been washed twice prior to your stay; we’ve since rewashed them and instructed housekeeping to replace them if lint persists.
- We’re also looking into the dishwasher performance, which may have been affected by a previous lightning strike, to ensure dishes are properly cleaned and dried.
Thank you for your review, which helps us improve the guest experience.
Fins and Feathers was perfect for our 9 day stay. This was truly one of the nicest rentals we've ever stayed in! The quiet location, nice neighborhood was great and the house itself met our every need with comfort, beauty and many amenities. The owners have thought of everything. We came to the island to look at houses for sale and wished that this one was on the market! Would strongky recommend 10/10
